Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 428
Zack Cassidy’s eyes opened wide, attentive and brimming with curiosity. He slowly approached the wooden desk before holding onto the edge and looking straight into Stanley’s eyes. “Is Xyla behaving oddly around you? What exactly do you mean by attitude changes? Is she being apathetic toward you? I can’t believe this is actually happening to you.” Stanley’s face darkened instantaneously.Zack immediately realized that he had gone a bit too far. Clearing his throat, he took in a deep breath. He chose his next words carefully before whispering, “My apologies, Fifth Master. My words were chosen poorly.”This was true, as even Zack was surprised at how he simply blurted out everything that was on his mind.He felt his scalp go numb. “Do you crave death, Zack?” Stanley asked, each word more frigid than the last. “I do not, Fifth Master...” Zack responded apprehensively. “No, I’m pretty sure you do.” Stanley glared at him, his frown almost overbearing. “...” Zack Cassidy dared

“I will, Fifth Master.” Zack Cassidy gave Stanley Batton a respectful nod before turning around to leave his office. After the door clicked shut behind him, the office returned to its original, peaceful state. Stanley leaned back against his office chair, his hands behind his head and his legs comfortably crossed. All that was on his mind were the final two possibilities that Zack had proposed earlier. *** When Georgie Clementine returned to the ward with the contract in hand, Noah Smith signed the contract without even glancing at it. Shortly after, he bid a brief farewell before leaving with his copy of the contract. Xyla and Georgie were alone in the ward again.The first thing Georgie did was slide the contract into a drawer before closing it. Her next move was to return to Xyla’s side, where she began praising Noah. “Noah seems like a straightforward and energetic man. He was very friendly and approachable, nothing like the nobleman I had initially imagined him to be

“Please come in,” called out Georgie Clementine. In response, Stanley Batton stepped into the ward with a huge basket of fruits in hand. Xyla Quest found herself peering at the basket. It had all her favorite fruits in it. Stepping forward, he placed the basket of fruits on the bedside table and pulled a chair to sit beside Xyla. He looked at her and asked, “Was the lunch I ordered to your liking?” “Yes, the lunch was delicious and I appreciate the fruit basket. Though why are you back so soon?” Several thoughts were swimming in Xyla’s head. How could he spend so little time with his girlfriend? How was that enough? “I was worried about you,” Stanley answered. “There’s nothing to worry about, I have Georgie with me. As you can see, everything is fine here. Georgie has been taking very good care of me. Now hurry along and attend to your business matters,” blurted Xyla somewhat coldly, though her expression remained gentle as usual.A slight scowl formed on Stanley’s face a

The crowd in the fast-food restaurant consisted mainly of loitering teenagers. As soon as he set foot into the KFC, almost all eyes fell on him. This was especially true for the girls, who momentarily almost seemed like they had lost all interest in their boyfriends; even though their boyfriends were right in front of them. However, Stanley paid them no notice as usual. Scanning the restaurant’s layout, he managed to catch sight of Catherine Batton. Catherine was seated by the window near a corner of the restaurant, enjoying her Plum Wine ice-cream. While this was happening, several girls in the restaurant were already whispering among themselves. His good looks had garnered a lot of attention from them, and the girls were silently fangirling over him. When she saw Stanley, Catherine waved at him enthusiastically. The dimples at the corners of her lips looked exceptionally cute on her, especially when she smiled. Catherine had always been proud to have such an admired and a

Zack Cassidy replied with a simple, ‘no’. Catherine Batton squinted her eyes. She wasn’t going to give up that easily. After telling her brother she needed to use the bathroom, she gave Zack a call there. He picked up within a second or two. While looking at her reflection in the mirror by the sink, Catherine began her interrogation on Zack. “What’s the deal with Fifth brother, Zack? If I don’t get the truth, I’m going to complain to him that you’ve been taking me lightly ever since I returned to Country Z. That’ll make him cut your salary for sure.” Catherine believed that if anyone knew about her brother’s troubles, it would be Zack Cassidy since he followed Stanley around every day. In his office, Zack took in a deep breath as he rubbed his forehead. He was clearly being threatened. “Seventh Mistress, that’s a rather low way of getting information, don’t you think?” The Fifth Master had always favored his seventh sister. If Catherine said anything negative about Zack, he

*** Meanwhile, Sharon Lidth and Rebecca Robin strutted into Xyla Quest’s ward with a large group of bodyguards behind them. A various array of tonics and supplements were carried by the guards. Xyla and Georgie Clementine were left speechless. The group’s grand arrival was a first for both of them and they were unsure how to register the situation in their minds. Their eye-catching entrance somewhat reminded Xyla of a Chinese drama she had watched a few years prior, called the Empresses in the Palace. There was a scene where the Emperor rewarded Zhen Huan with treasures as far as the eye could see. She felt very much like Zhen Huan at the moment. Xyla did a mental headcount of the bodyguards. There were about thirty of them, each holding no less than three boxes of tonics and supplements. Even without knowing their actual price, Xyla estimated that each individual tonic could easily cost up to five digits and above. Sharon casually waved a hand before turning back to look a

Three days later… Xyla Quest was finally allowed to leave the hospital. She had undergone several intensive and strict medical examinations to confirm that she was healthy. It was very early in the morning and Rebecca Robin had sent Noah Smith to help Xyla with the hospital discharge process. Georgie Clementine, on the other hand, had brought along some additional hands to help move Xyla’s belongings into the car. By the time the discharge procedures were done, all of Xyla’s belongings had already been safely moved into the car. Noah carefully pushed Xyla—who was sitting in a wheelchair—out of the hospital’s main door and helped her get into the car. While all this was happening, Catherine Batton was observing the scene play out through a live video feed. The camera she was watching through displayed the front of Xyla’s patient room in the hospital. Squinting her eyes, she watched as Noah slowly pushed a wheelchaired Xyla out of the room. Catherine frowned when she saw No

Before Xyla could say no, Noah was already trying to find the kitchen. “I’m fine Noah, there’s no need to worry about me. You can attend to your personal matters now.” “Well alright… I’ll be taking my leave first then,” said Noah, smiling as he stood up. While this was happening, a black Honda pulled up to the front of the house. In the car, Stanley Batton gave a cold stare toward Georgie Clementine who was busy directing the workers as they carried Xyla's belongings into the house. He then elegantly stepped out of his car. Slipping on some house slippers, he quickly headed to the living room. Once he saw Noah, his eyes darkened. Seeing Stanley, he bowed respectfully. He knew that Stanley and Xyla were on bad terms so he kept his mouth shut. Stanley ignored Noah entirely and walked over to Xyla. “You’ve already been discharged from the hospital. Why was I not notified about this?” He had immediately rushed to the hospital after his meeting earlier. He wanted to be th

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.
