Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 445
While all this was happening, Stanley Batton had just returned home again. Xyla was watching television, her legs crossed as she held a large pack of chips in her arms. On her, was a set of aqua green, casual Hanfu styled clothes made with real silk. White laces were adorned around the hem, the cuffs, and even her trousers. The combination made her skin look white as snow. She didn’t have any makeup on and her long, black, curly hair casually lay on her shoulders. She could have been mistaken as a goddess who had accidentally fallen from the heavens. Stanley silently approached before sitting down next to her. “Why haven’t you gone to bed?” “Hmm… Not sleepy yet.” “Didn’t the doctor tell you to get more rest?” “I’ve been resting on the bed most of the time. It’s boring and unpleasant when I have to do it for long hours at a time. I just want to watch some television for a while,” Xyla said as she smiled. Her eyes moved past him and onto the clock hanging on the wall. An ho

She shouldn’t have put that much faith in Five Batton. She should have hinted more times to him and not just once. It was far too late for that. Trouble was already at their doorstep. Outsiders would definitely have started criticizing her. Who knows how many people were already laughing at her behind her back. As for her father. She knew he would die from rage as soon as he saw the news. Her family would be in chaos. Thinking about it, Xyla Quest’s brows furrowed, a great discomfort in her heart. With wrinkles already starting to form on her forehead, she began calling the man’s number, a clear look of distraught on her face. While she was calling, a group of executives of the Dragon Group was having a meeting in the Dragon Group’s conference room. Stanley Batton had a matching black suit on and he sat on the main seat with his usual poker face. He was giving orders to the executives of each department of the company when his phone began to ring. The call was untimely

Stanley felt the corners of his lips curve into a faint smile. “Xyla you fool… That’s my blood-related sister.” On the other side of the line, Xyla Quest froze for a brief moment. “…What? Sister?” “Who else could she be? You and my sister are the only ones who I ever behave kindly toward,” Stanley chuckled, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Xyla’s heart was suddenly at ease with just that simple explanation. “She’s just returned from overseas a few days ago. We went shopping that day and had a meal together. I only have one sister and she rarely returns so it was normal for me to want to visit her while she was here.” Xyla continued to be speechless. The heavy chains that had been binding her heart for the past few days were quickly disintegrating. Slowly, she felt her breath return to her. So when they were eating together that day, it was his sister calling? He had just been accompanying his sister all this time and she wasn’t his girlfriend? How did such a major m

With her mind brimming with thoughts, Xyla logged into her Weibo. She looked at the trending hashtags. It was as she had expected. #Xyla’s husband exposed for cheating# was currently tenth in place in the most-searched hashtags. “What’s the point of being rich and handsome if you’re still going to cheat on her? That Xyla is such a pitiful woman.” “Often my views are based on how the scum looks. He’s just too handsome, I can’t bring myself to talk bad about him.” “Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a failure. Even with that much money and beauty she still failed to keep an eye on her husband. What else needs to be said? Hahaha…” After taking a brief look at the comments, she found the most popular marketing account at the time and forwarded the news immediately, with her own comment on the situation for clarification. Bzz… bzz… At that moment, Xyla’s phone began to vibrate. The sound echoed throughout the initially silent room. The caller was Mary Sullivan. A frown formed on her f

Immediately after he ended his sentence, Jeremy Quest continued. “Worry not, Xyla. I’ll deal with him for you.” Xyla simply laughed gently. “Don’t be hasty, dad. The woman in the picture is his blood-related sister.” “What?!” Jeremy was stunned for a moment. “Yes, she’s been studying overseas all this time. Don’t be angry with him anymore, I’m doing very well with my husband,” Xyla explained in a serious but calm voice. “That’s… That’s great to hear…” Jeremy sighed in relief as he slowly calmed down. After she was done explaining, Xyla continued to talk with Jeremy for a while. Nearing the end, the smile on her face faded and she began to furrow her brows again. Once the call ended, Jeremy immediately went to the washroom. Emily Quest could barely hold her excitement and whispered in May Conner’s ear, “Mary Sullivan’s definitely done a good job this time!” May snorted, pleased with the situation. “Let’s see whether that brat can still be as arrogant as she usually is af

“The more viral this gets, the more jeers she will receive while Mary continues to expose her…” continued Emily Quest. *** Xyla’s clarification message was simple and direct. “My husband did not cheat on me. Our relationship is going well. The woman in the picture is his blood-related sister, my sister-in-law. Cease the gossipping, that’s all there is to this scandal.” After the message was posted, countless people began commenting on her post. Many of the comments criticized the reporters and marketing accounts for spreading the fake news. Not too long after, Josh Batton shared her clarification on Weibo as well. He didn’t add any comments to the post. Despite that, sharing the post alone brought a huge impact on the matter. His ‘Lover’s trees’ commented under his post, one after another. “Ahh… Our baby must be close to Xyla Quest if he shared her Weibo post! I’m so jealous of her!” “Ahh, I envy you Ms. Xyla. Also, I’d like to say something to those who had spread th

Xyla Quest was busy until late in the afternoon.What remained of the setting sun beamed through the french window, making her room appear extra warm.After reading one final document, Xyla massaged her aching neck and shoulders a little before getting up and walking out onto the balcony.Streams of golden rays danced between flowers and trees under the dimmed sky. A black Honda soon came into sight.The car moved closer to her while it faced the setting sun. Just by looking at it, Xyla felt at ease and secure. A beautiful smile subconsciously appeared on her face.A few seconds later, the Honda came to a steady halt while a man dressed in a black suit and black pants got down.Even the warm hue of the sky couldn’t melt away the coldness and loneliness that surrounded him.From a distance, Xyla could still clearly feel the nobility from the man’s body.Unexpectedly, Stanley Batton looked up and fixed his eyes upon her.The two of them looked at each other from afar, through

“According to the news source, the girl Stanley Batton dated is named Catherine Batton. Despite sharing the same last name, they are not siblings.“Catherine is the only child in her family and is currently studying abroad. The editor guesses that Xyla Quest only said Catherine is Stanley’s sister because Xyla is trying to protect her reputation.”Long lines of text came into sight right away.Below the text was information related to Catherine Batton.Xyla’s frown deepened as she calmly looked at Stanely’s face.She didn’t believe a single word written in the news article.In fact, she felt even more certain that somebody was trying to stir things up behind the scene.“Someone said she isn’t your biological sister,” Xyla said.“Do you believe that?” Stanley asked calmly as he looked at her.Xyla shook her head. “Of course not. You have no reason to lie to me,” she said.Stanley smiled faintly. “Somebody must have done a background check on her.”“You don’t have to explain.

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.
