Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 406
“For the time being, I still haven’t been able to find anything. Please give me more time…” The man’s voice could be heard from the other end of the call.“Why haven’t you found anything? Are you useless?” Emily Quest said disappointedly. She seemed very unhappy.“Miss Quest, could it be… that there’s nothing at fault with your sister’s husband? Why else can’t I find anything?” The man asked carefully.“That’s impossible. Keep investigating. My intuition is never wrong. If you haven’t found anything, why did you call me?” Emily yelled scornfully.“I just called to tell you that my pay for this month is late by two days.”“I know! I’ll give you one more month. If you can’t find anything, you can get lost,” Emily said through gritted teeth before hanging up right away.***Downstairs, Xyla Quest was still the center of attention.There was an increasing number of women surrounding her. They kept trying to talk to her about the vice president’s wife.Having to suddenly deal with

Jeremy Quest couldn’t resist raising his thumb. “Xyla, you are truly excellent. Indeed, you live up to the expectations I have for you as my heir.”“To be honest, it’s probably because she liked the way I looked,” Xyla said. This was the only reason Xyla could think of if she had to provide an explanation.“Regardless of what the reason is, I still think you are amazing,” Jeremy complimented her yet again. He seemed very proud of Xyla.“Yeah, Xyla is amazing. But you should be careful when interacting with people like her. If you make a wrong move, you might end up dragging the entire family business down,” May said and smiled at Xyla while she pretended to be concerned.Xyla looked at May calmly while she replied to her. “Okay… Thank you for the reminder, Aunty. I know what to do. If there’s nothing else, Aunty, we’ll be heading back. I need to get ready to go over to the vice president’s residence tonight.”“Okay, okay… Oh right, Xyla. I want to buy you a new race car… Don’t you

After finishing her sentence, Xyla Quest headed directly upstairs.Buzz, buzz, buzz… Catherine Batton’s call came in again and distracted Stanley Batton right then.“What is it now?” Stanley said after picking up.“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to play a game with me?”“No,” Stanley answered right away.After that, he ended the call and walked out the door.***Meanwhile, in the Quest family’s villa, Emily Quest was playing with her phone in bed after calming herself down from feeling angry earlier.Beep, beep, beep… Suddenly, she received a call from Tom Sullivan.When she saw who was calling, her hand trembled slightly.These days, Tom had been calling her very frequently, and he always talked about getting a divorce.Despite rejecting him each time, Tom still called her back repeatedly. It seemed he was very determined about it.As usual, Emily immediately cancelled the call.She absolutely refused to get a divorce with Tom. Now, she had already lost to

“Honey, Emily likes race cars the most. If you’re buying one for Xyla, could you also buy one for Emily? Perhaps she might feel better if she saw the car. What do you think?” May Conner asked.“Okay…” Jeremy Quest nodded decisively.May then smiled satisfactorily before resting her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and hugging him tightly around the waist.***As soon as Emily Quest arrived by the entrance, she could see Tom Sullivan’s Bentley parked right in front.The two cherry blossom trees in front of the entrance were in full bloom. There were light pink petals all over them.When a gust of wind blew past the trees, the petals took off to the air like snowflakes. Eventually, the petals landed on the ground, and some also landed on the roof of Tom’s car.Emily tried her best to appear depressed while she quickly got into the car from the passenger side before closing the door.Tom glared at her coldly before forcefully tossing the divorce papers onto her hand. “Hurry up and s

“Tom Sullivan, you really are cruel!” Emily Quest yelled through gritted teeth.“Yeah, I am very cruel. Why don’t you get a divorce? Why don’t you get rid of me? Just take the money I’m offering and get lost. What are you thinking? You really are a lowly b*tch!” Tom Sullivan raised his voice and stared at her face like he was staring at his enemy.Tom absolutely hated this woman. He was determined to get a divorce.His words hit Emily like a truck. She was now bawling her eyes out.Emily felt as if Tom had just torn her heart apart.“Tom Sullivan, this is too much,” Emily said while she clutched the divorce agreement tightly. The white sheets were now all crumpled.“If you don’t want me to do this, sign the papers,” Tom said. He had been trying to negotiate with her for so long in the nicest way possible, but she repeatedly rejected him. How else could he achieve his objective if he didn’t use drastic measures?“I have depression… Severe depression. Are you trying to get me kill

Wee-woo… Wee-woo…Right then, the sound of an ambulance arriving could be heard.Xyla Quest immediately looked over in that direction.She could clearly see Emily Quest being carried into the ambulance by a bodyguard while Jeremy Quest and May Conner got in right after.Everyone seemed very panicked.Xyla frowned confusedly before giving Jeremy a call. “Father, what’s going on?”“Let’s not talk about it. Tom Sullivan, that b*stard, came to your little sister asking for a divorce. Your sister got so upset that she got her head injured, and she’s now passed out,” Jeremy uttered.Xyla was not at all surprised by Tom’s terrible behavior.“Alright, let’s stop talking about it. I’m hanging up…” Jeremy said before he hung up.Xyla didn’t feel sorry at all for what happened to Emily because she brought all of this upon herself.Was this how glad Emily felt when she made Tom cheat on Xyla in the past?Back then, Emily must have thought she was a winner in life.However, Emily forgot

Very soon, a tall, thin man wearing a long, black trench coat, a white shirt, and black pants walked in.With a short haircut, he had handsome facial features and fair, soft skin. He seemed very noble and well-mannered.Rather than saying he was handsome, one might say he was beautiful instead. He looked like a gorgeous woman capable of making any man fall for him.Xyla Quest had heard in the past that the vice president’s only son was quite good-looking, and she was convinced now that she had seen him.After allowing his gaze to linger on Xyla’s face for a second, the man smiled and walked over to her and Rebecca. He kept his hands in his trench coat’s pockets while he looked at Rebecca. “Mother, who is this beautiful young lady?”When he smiled, a special pair of delicate dimples appeared on his face.After asking the question, he turned to look at Xyla with a smile on his face.“Xyla Quest… the eldest daughter of the Quest Group’s family. She’s a year older than you. You shou

The pendant on the necklace was an eight-carat round, pink diamond. On top of the pink diamond, there was a pair of wings made from finely ground platinum.Meanwhile, the chain was an extremely simple platinum chain.The gorgeous diamond emitted a beautiful halo in the light and Rebecca Robin was instantly amazed by it.Rebecca couldn’t help but enthuse excitedly. “Wow! Such an excellent piece by the internationally renowned jewelry designer, Sunny.”With that, Rebecca carefully took the necklace out of the box and examined it.On the clasp of the necklace, there were carved alphabets which spelled out ‘Sunny’.“I’ve always wanted something Sunny designed. I really like her style of design, but I’ve never been able to buy it. Whenever her designs were released, too many people competed for them. There were always people with a higher status than me. Hence, I never got the chance to buy her designs,” Rebecca said while she admired the pendant.When Xyla Quest saw how pleased Rebe

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.
