Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 383
The starting price was eight million.Mary Sullivan immediately raised her bid card. “Eight million five hundred thousand…”After Rebecca Robin saw Mary raising her bid card, she looked at her coldly and raised her bid card. “Ten million…”The others proceeded to offer a price, the bidding price went up to twenty million.Mary raised her bid card again. “Twenty five million…”She must win this vase.Rebecca still increased the bid price. “Thirty million…”When Mary thought of her father’s exhortation, she refused to be outbid. “Thirty five million.”Rebecca snorted coldly. “Forty million…”After Xyla Quest heard those digits, she looked at Mary’s face.Forty million, the amount was already way past the original price of the vase.The vase was only worth thirty million at the most.For Mary to continue to bid a higher price was not odd to Xyla…After all, she would not even know the price of an antique.Xyla also knew that Rebecca would bid against Mary continuously.

Xyla Quest replied while smiling, “Of course…”Paying for more than fifty million for this item, it would be weird if Tony Sullivan was not mad.The next item was what Sharon Lindt wanted — A Jade Hairpin.After the auctioneer had given a brief introduction about the item, the crowd started bidding.The starting price was one million and it had increased to twenty million.Xyla waited for the bidding price to stop increasing so much and raised her bid card. “Twenty one million…”At this point, almost everyone had given up on bidding. In the end, Xyla succeeded in winning the bid and getting the hairpin. She felt satisfied.The next item that Sharon wanted was a 1950s Supreme Sapphire Necklace from F Country.When the necklace was put on the stage, the ladies were startled.Even though the necklace was old, it was still shining brilliantly.The chain of the necklace was made of individual round sapphires, at the bottom of the necklace was a big teardrop shaped sapphire that wa

Xyla Quest was even more stupefied.To use three hundred million to buy a set of jewelry does not seem possible for a person like Sebastian Brenand.As she was looking at their backs, Xyla was extremely confused, her mind full of questions. What is going on exactly? Or does Sebastian’s identity is not as she thought?Maybe, he’s a son of a rich and powerful person?If that was the case, why does he act like Five Batton is superior to him?Five is just a gangster.What capabilities did he have, to make a rich and powerful person’s son bow to him?Or maybe, Five’s real identity is superior to Sebastian’s.Or Five actually was not a gangster, but rather some super powerful person?Xyla thought that it was impossible, since why would Stanley Batton cooperate with her if he was someone this powerful? He would not have the time.But if Five Batton is not some powerful person, what exactly is this situation?At this moment, she could not think of an explanation…After Sebastian go

”There is only one powerful family in Atlantis that has the surname Brenand right?” The lady said while smiling.Xyla Quest could not believe what she heard.Powerful family in Atlantis with the surname Brenand?Other than the Brenand family that she knew of, there wasn’t a second. That family was a very famous family of nobles after all…In the so-called society there is a hierarchy. At the top is power and influence, and the second is being just rich.The Brenand family is definitely at the top.There’s not much information about the members in their family on Baidu.Xyla never expected Sebastian Brenand to have such a noble background.But why would he be with Five Batton if he had such a background? Logically speaking, the fifth master is way out of Sebastian’s league.Why would Sebastian bother mixing with peasants?Many thoughts ran through Xyla’s mind, as she stood there stunned.One of the ladies lightly shook Xyla back to reality, she laughed. “What happened? Did yo

Rebecca Robin said as she added Xyla Quest in WeChat. “Alright, let’s meet up again next time.”Xyla nodded. “Okay…”Xyla wanted to hangout with Rebecca again from the bottom of her heart, it was not a courtesy call. She had a good first impression of Rebecca.From the night’s experience, she had a good feeling about Rebecca.She could feel that Rebecca was only full of good intentions towards her, so she was happy to have become her friend.“Alright, it's settled! I’ll take my leave now, bye…” Rebecca said as she was being protected by bodyguards that escorted her to a black Rolls-Royce.After watching Rebecca leave, Xyla turned towards her car and prepared to leave.“Xyla… Were you proud of yourself today?”Mary Sullivan’s voice rang behind Xyla. Xyla could not help but frown as she turned towards Mary…At this moment, Mary was only one meter away from her, standing on the steps. Mary was looking down at Xyla from the steps proudly, her hands crossed. Her eyes were full of d

Stanley Batton’s eyebrows twitched while looking at her with a serious face. “Who are you?” Xyla questioned.He asked calmly, “Why would u suddenly ask this question?”After a second, his eyes were searching for an emotion to show.“I just feel like your real identity is not that simple.” Xyla said.“For example?”“Today, I went to an auction house…”“Yes, you told me.”“Only special people can attend this auction.” Xyla said.“You told me this as well.”“I saw Sebastian Brenand there. I even heard that Sebastian is a young master from the Brenand family that is famous in Atlantis.” Xyla said truthfully.The expression on his face did not change. “So?”“So, I suspect that you’re also some rich family’s young master… A family more powerful than Sebastian’s. I think you're lying to me.” Xyla said straightforwardly.Ding dong...ding dong…The doorbell rang.Stanley did not answer her and got up slowly to open the door.A few men in black suits stood outside the door.Ex

“This, I helped Aunty to bid.” Xyla Quest said. “It’s pretty isn’t it”“Yeah.” Stanley Batton quietly looked at the set of jewelry, “You like it?”“Yeah I like it.” Xyla stared at the set of jewelry, her eyes full of joy.He said nothing and quietly looked at Xyla’s beautiful face.After looking at the items for a while, Xyla unwillingly put them away and closed the boxes. She then turned to look at Stanley.After some thought, she realized that her earlier judgement may be wrong.If the fifth master was some son of a rich person, what he wore and used would be famous brands and not some unknown cheap brand.Even the house he lived in before this, it’s impossible for him to live in such a small house. His car won’t be a black Honda either.He also had no reason to hide his identity and stay by her side. If he was such a high-profile person, why would he waste his time doing this?Maybe the reason why Sebastian Brenand was treating Stanley with respect is because the boss he is

Mary Sullivan could not understand why he was angry.Didn’t he say that he wanted the vase no matter what? She managed to buy the vase, shouldn’t he be thanking her?“I told you that you need to get the vase no matter what, but shouldn’t you assess the situation as well? Eight hundred million and you still want it? Did I not tell you that this vase’s price is three hundred million at the most?” Tony Sullivan said angrily.“But didn’t you say u like this vase? If you like it that much then just buy it, so what if it’s over the market price by five hundred million? Why does it matter?” Mary said, dissatisfied.“You…” Tony was so angry that he was at a loss for words, he raised his hands and hit Mary in the head once more. “You failure… What I’m trying to say is that it is obvious if it’s overpriced you should not buy it.”The pain spreaded throughout the back of her head, making her dizzy. While rubbing the spot that she got hit, she complained. “Then why did you not tell me properl

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
