Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 500
Stanley Batton held her hand in his all the way up the stairs. As the two of them reached the master bedroom, Xyla Quest stopped before Stanley and slowly released her hand from his, her blush seared through her cheeks. “I… I’m going to bed first.”However, before Xyla could even lift her leg, Stanley forced her against the wall beside her door and placed his right hand on the wall, bringing himself close to her. His calloused fingers proceeded to pinch her chin lightly as he whispered, looking her in the eyes, “Aren’t we sleeping together? My dear wife.” His warm breath spread over her ears. The tickling sensation across her skin made her heart beat faster and faster every second.His gaze was just like hot iron. Anywhere it landed on Xyla, it brought a flush of heat across her skin.In the next second, the rosiness on her cheeks spread across her face, all the way to her neck. “I… I’m tired.” Xyla did not dare to meet his eyes. Slowly sliding down from the wall, she slippe

Xyla Quest struggled to get up, but Stanley Batton forcefully pressed her down onto his lap. “Be good… Wait for me, hmm?”Now, Xyla suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed as her face turned red.His embrace was making her heart beat so fast she felt as if it would soon leap out of her chest.The gazes of people in the computer screen made her feel even more nervous.“You’re in a meeting. Can’t you be more serious?” Xyla bemoaned.“How am I not being serious?” Stanley retorted with a serious look in his face before turning to face the people in his computer screen. “Let’s end the meeting for today.”People in the meeting room looked at one another.Stanley turned off his laptop right away before unplugging his earphones. “Let’s go out and eat,” he said as he looked at Xyla.Xyla quickly got up from his lap. “I’ve already made dinner.”“Who said you could cook?” Stanley asked.“My body is almost fully recovered. Why can’t I cook?” Xyla said.“Even if it’s almost fully recovered

“You’re part of the family. Why should you feel embarrassed?” Stanley Batton asked blandly.Xyla Quest remained silent.“Eat some beef,” Stanley said before placing a slice of beef on Xyla’s plate.“What do you think we should get Aunty Lindt… No, I mean, Mother. What should we get her? Do you know what she needs?” Xyla asked.“Yes,” Stanley said calmly.“What is it?” Xyla’s face lit up with joy.“She needs a grandchild. A grandchild from you,” Stanley said with an affectionate look in his eyes.Xyla immediately felt her heart tighten when she heard this.“What are you saying?” Xyla rolled her eyes at Stanley directly. She then lowered her head and continued to eat. “I’m not talking to you,” she added.“Embarrassed?” Stanley asked.“Nobody’s embarrassed.”“If you’re not embarrassed, why is your face red?” he asked.“My face is red because it’s hot, alright?” Xyla responded.“Sure, whatever you say.”After that, Stanley chuckled a little without realizing it.Xyla didn’

Xyla Quest had only eaten not too long ago. Frankly, she wasn’t feeling very hungry. However, she didn’t say anything and instead followed Catherine Batton into the bathroom to wash their hands.Once they were done, Catherine joyfully tugged her along. “Sister-in-law, I’m so glad that I can finally address you as that in public. I’m also very sorry for not telling you the truth before this.”“Alright, stop mentioning these things. I have already said that I understand.” Xyla affectionately pinched Catherine’s cheek.With a chuckle, Catherine dragged Xyla into the dining room.By then, everyone else had already washed their hands and were seated at the dining table.When Stanley Batton saw Xyla entering, he immediately stood up and pulled a chair out for her before moving her closer to himself.There was a full table of dishes with all imaginable varieties, and they all looked and smelled good.Although Xyla was already full, her mouth still salivated when she saw these delicious

“You’ll know when we get there,” Stanley Batton said blandly as he continued to hold Xyla Quest’s hand.Right then, Xyla felt extremely satisfied. Her heart felt full.Nothing could compare to the feeling of him holding her hand tightly with their fingers intercrossed.Stanley continued to drive and eventually brought Xyla to a manor in the suburbs with nobody else around.Many peach blossom trees surrounded the manor, and there was no other house in sight.A gust of gentle breeze blew, causing pink petals on the trees to fall off. It looked like pink snowflakes falling to the ground.The air smelled sweet to the two of them.The manor’s design was of classic ancient European style, like a place the ancient European royalty lived in. There were lights everywhere inside and outside the estate, making the place appear almost like a palace in fairy tales.Xyla knew this was the famous Rosales Manor in Atlantis, and it derived its name from the surrounding peach blossom trees.Leg

“Have you forgotten what day it is today?” Stanley Batton asked.Xyla Quest immediately took her phone out and checked the time…It was 1st of April, her birthday.Xyla had been so busy recently that she had actually forgotten her birthday.Although she had forgotten all about it, Stanley clearly remembered it.“I forgot…” Xyla said.“Silly girl. Happy birthday,” Stanley said and ruffled her head gently before holding her hand tightly.Peach blossom petals fell on top of their heads, shoulders, and their shoes like snowflakes.“Thank you,” Xyla said.After half an hour, the fireworks display was still going on.“Should we watch it from the balcony?” Stanley turned around and looked at her face.“How long do you plan to keep this going?” Xyla asked.“Until you’re sick of it,” Stanley answered.“These fireworks are so beautiful. I wouldn’t get sick of them even when the sky turns bright,” she said.“Then, we’ll keep them going until the sky turns bright,” he said.“Stop me

Xyla Quest immediately blushed, and her heart began to pound wildly.At the same time, she could also feel Stanley Batton’s heart rate increasing.“I… love you too,” Stanley said.This was the best thing Xyla had ever heard in her life.Would one say the fireworks were pretty? Yes, they were.However, in Xyla’s heart, none of them were as beautiful as the words Stanley had just said to her.What was the happiest thing in the world? It was when the person you love loves you back.“To be honest, I don’t know when I started falling in love with you… At first, I just felt a liking toward you. But after a while, I slowly discovered that I had fallen head over heels in love.“Baby, I think I’ve got you under my skin. What should I do?” Stanley said with a deep, gentle look in his eyes. He didn’t seem like his usual self at all.Xyla’s heart shuddered at this.Very soon, her eyes welled up. “Is it true?”“Yes, it’s true,” he said.“Happiness… Isn’t it… Isn’t it too sudden?” Xyla s

“You may say things casually, but I cannot take them casually,” Stanley Batton said before pressing Xyla Quest’s head against his chest.At such a close distance, Xyla could clearly hear his heart beating.Each heartbeat pulsed with strength.A sweet sensation began to spread in her heart.Although Xyla said something half-heartedly, Stanley took it seriously and made the fireworks go on for the entire night in the manor.She had her master to thank for this.If it weren’t for him, Xyla and Stanley wouldn’t have known how each other so soon.“Is anything wrong with your wound?” Stanley asked as he kissed her hair.The light scent of rose was almost like an addictive drug.“No…” Xyla said.Throughout the process, Stanley made sure to be very careful. Since Xyla’s surgery wound had basically healed, having sex for an extended period didn’t affect her wound.“That’s good,” Stanley said.Just like that, the two of them hugged each other to sleep.At a little after nine in the

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.
