Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 548
Excitement surged within Tom Sullivan as he heard the crowd’s malicious comments.If Xyla Quest’s husband were really an ugly duckling who would bring shame to her, there would be great leaps in his hope to get Xyla back to his side.Instead of introducing her real husband to the public, Xyla had found a handsome guy to keep up appearances and act as a lovely couple with her. What did that mean?It meant that her actual husband was nothing to her.Xyla glared at Bailey Ronson coldly. “No. I said no.”All eyes in the entire hall were upon Xyla.The music had been turned off, though the culprit was unknown.Now, the whole world was able to listen to their conversation.Bailey laughed as soon as she heard Xyla’s answer. “No? If that’s not the case, how are you going to explain the whole incident? Are you trying to say that Mr. Henry is lying?”Staring deep at Stanley Batton’s face once more, Henry shook his head confidently. “Seriously, I’m not lying… I’ve seen that kid before. H

“You have no right to educate my daughter. I’m not dead yet.” Jeremy Quest rebuked coldly.Another awkward laugh burst out of Bailey Ronson. Jeremy’s clear enmity had put her on the spot in front of the crowd.“Well… Aunt Bailey… Are you done with your story?” Xyla put down the teacup slowly and glowered at Bailey.Though Xyla seemed gentle and soft, her aura was way beyond compelling.Silence filled the hall all of a sudden. Everyone held their breath, staring at Xyla.“What? Xyla, do you want to explain to your father the reason you lied to him now? Fine. I’ll keep quiet. Go on,” Bailey prompted.She wondered how Xyla had managed to stay calm at a critical moment like this.“Indeed, I lied to my father…” Xyla looked at Bailey.Bailey’s spirits soared when she heard Xyla’s confession. Immediately, she glanced at Jeremy and the rest in the hall proudly. “Look… Our Xyla is brave enough to admit it.”Then, Xyla turned to the stunning man beside her and whispered in his ear, “Can

Everyone watching them began to laugh at Xyla.The same went for Emily Quest, May Conner, and Tom Sullivan. They could not hold back their laughter anymore.Noticing the changes in Jeremy Quest’s expression and his gaze, Xyla reassured her father with a smile. Then, her gaze landed on Stanley Batton as she asked, “Hubby, they’re still skeptical of your identity. What should I do?”Bailey Ronson folded her arms disdainfully and glared at Xyla and Stanley. “What? Are you trying to ask that impostor standing next to you to pretend to be the president of Dragon Group again?”Stanley unhurriedly stood up from the chair without saying a single word and pulled out his phone, making a phone call. “Inform Sullivan Food Group that all the major banks are not going to lend them a dime from now on. Pass on the message to them right away.”Upon hearing that, Bailey Ronson rolled her eyes instantaneously and mumbled to herself, “What the hell was that? What a fraud.”The crowd started booing a

It turned out that that had happened because of such an unexpected relationship.“You… You are actually… Someone from Dragon Group?” Jeremy Quest asked carefully. There was still a look of disbelief in his eyes.In the next second, Jeremy forcefully pinched his thigh. The pain was real, and that meant this wasn’t a dream.Emily Quest and May Conner were mad beyond reason.Neither of them had expected that their carefully planned scheme would fail to hurt Xyla Quest.Not only did it not hurt Xyla, it even allowed her to gain even more respect from the crowd. They actually ended up revealing the fact that she was the wife of Dragon Group’s heir.How did all of this happen?Could they have acquired the wrong information?“Also, this is the wedding photo of Xyla and me in our marriage certificate,” Stanley Batton said while retrieving a digital copy of their marriage certificate and handing it over to Jeremy.The marriage certificate clearly showed a picture of the two of them, al

Now, Bailey Ronson felt genuinely remorseful.If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have messed with Xyla Quest right here and then!“If you do that, the Sullivan family is done for… I’ll never be happy in this lifetime again,” Bailey said as tears filled her eyes.Stanley Batton slowly held Xyla’s hand and pulled her into his arms before ruffling her hair gently. “Whoever makes my wife unhappy for even a moment will be unhappy for the rest of his or her life.”Julian Sullivan, Tom Sullivan, Emily Quest, and May Conner were all dumbfounded.They knew that Stanley’s decision would very likely cause the Sullivan family’s business to cease operating for good.Even if that didn’t happen, many of Sullivan Group’s subsidiaries would collapse.The group’s size would surely contract.Julian instantly wheeled himself over to Stanley and begged him. “I sincerely apologize on behalf of my mother. I hope you can take back what you said.”“Everyone must pay for their actions,” S

Very soon, music began to play.Singers proceeded to get on stage to sing and perform.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton kept his arm around Xyla Quest’s waist. The two of them ate and chatted, occasionally feeding each other as per usual.Not long after, guests began approaching Stanley and Xyla and surrounded them as if they were celebrities.All of them continuously complimented Xyla and Stanley.In fact, the performances on stage were nowhere near as attractive as the man who stood next to Xyla.“Xyla, you are very lucky for finding a good husband like Stanley.”“I’ve felt how noble you were since the moment you walked through the door, very much unlike other ordinary people. I wasn’t wrong, Master Batton.”“Master Batton, you and Xyla are a perfect match. I’ve met Xyla lots of times, and we’re considered friends.”Hearing this, Xyla immediately turned to look at the woman who claimed to be her friend.She remembered that this person had not long ago made snippy comments at her a

If Bailey Ronson hadn’t spewed those nonsensical things, the Sullivan family wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble.What if all the banks stopped providing the Sullivan family with loans in the future? What would they do?When Bailey saw how upset Tony Sullivan seemed, she didn’t dare to say a word. In fact, she was even careful not to breathe too loudly.Everyone else around him behaved the same way.After the performances on the stage ended, Jeremy Quest held May Conner’s hand and walked onto the stage.He was preparing to give a speech.Meanwhile, the people who surrounded Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton quickly returned to their seats and looked at the stage.After Jeremy had thanked a bunch of people involved, it was now time for the donation drive.Guests got ready with their enlarged copies of cheques before going on stage one after another.Once the other guests were done with their donations, Stanley held Xyla’s hand and walked up to Jeremy and May. He took a golden

Wherever Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest went, all eyes were on them.Emily Quest could no longer sit still. She got up right away and quickly made her way to the restroom to freshen up.When Bailey Ronson saw Emily going to the restroom, she too got up and went after her.As soon as Emily entered the restroom, she walked to a window inside before angrily clenching her fist and punching the windowsill.Despite the pain she felt in her knuckles, she didn’t seem to be bothered by it.If it weren’t because of where she was, she would have lost control and shouted out loudly.‘Xyla Quest… You b*tch. Why are you always so lucky?’ Emily thought to herself as her eyes turned red.She couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.Could there be something wrong with the information that the person provided her?Could he have been lying to her?Emily was determined to get to the bottom of this!Very soon, Bailey entered the restroom.When she saw Emily, her gaze turned cold.

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.
