Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 700
Xyla Quest looked in the mirror and rolled her eyes at him once more. “Well, what do you think?” “What?” Stanley Batton’s eyes widened, attentive, and brimming with curiosity. “Thanks to somebody, I’m in a hurry now, so I don’t have time to dry my hair,” blurted Xyla grumpily.“Oh.” “Oh? What do you mean by ‘oh’? Isn’t this your fault?” The more Xyla thought about it, the angrier she got. She could not stop mumbling, “It’s all because of you, bastard.”He had wasted that one hour. If she had got out of bed one hour earlier, she would have done putting on her makeup, dressing up, and even finishing her lunch right now. In the mirror, the man’s soft lips stretched into a doting smile as he gazed at her. When Xyla lifted her head, she met his smiling eyes. A strange tingling sensation ran down her spine instantaneously. There was only a white towel wrapped around his waist. Water beads were sliding down his chest, over the scratches she left behind, adding a tinge of se

Unfortunately, she was in a hurry right now. She had no time to enjoy this kind of romance. To not hurt his feelings, Xyla Quest chose a lipstick and placed it in his palm. “I’ll do the brows myself, but you can help me to put on lipstick later.” Putting on lipstick was easy. Probably everyone with hands had no problem doing it. There were a lot of men using lipsticks or even live-selling lipsticks on the internet nowadays. She believed that applying lipstick was not a difficult task for Stanley Batton. “Okay.” Stanley returned the eyebrow pencil to her. Letting out a sigh of relief, Xyla turned back to the mirror and quickly drew her brows.Meanwhile, Stanley leaned against the dressing table and opened the lipstick cap, playing it with his fingers while observing it. “Is this color nice?” Xyla asked. “Aren’t all the lipsticks the same?” Things men would never understand x1… “To be frank, I really can’t understand you girls. Why are you all wasting money on the s

Xyla Quest soon lost herself as his fingers curled around hers. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her cheeks were hot. It was the last bit of rationality in her mind that made her shrink away from his grasp. She pushed him away with all her strength, panting, “Stanley Batton, if you try to touch me again, I’m not going to talk to you for the next three days. No, five days! No, six days!”“I won’t do it anymore, honey.” Stanley Batton comforted her with a good-natured look, though the mischief in his gaze had given him away. Xyla immediately fled from the room, running away from him as fast as she could. ***When Xyla arrived at Team QPG’s base, she found that Alex was there too. Professional gamers like them had, more or less, crossed paths with one another during the tournaments. Moreover, Alex and her team members had a meal together before. Xyla could see that they were all getting along well. Alex was currently sitting on the couch, happily chatting with the boys. A

“My favorite contestants are all around Xyla, and they seem to adore her. I’m absolutely jealous.”“Why is Xyla so lucky? Everyone is so nice to her…”“Not only is she surrounded by celebrity friends, but she also has a pretty good professional gaming team. On top of that, she has a lot of money. Xyla really is living the dream…”“With her looks, she would become very popular in the entertainment industry.”Xyla Quest briefly skimmed through the comments. After browsing other trending topics, she began to focus on eating the hotpot.After the meal, Xyla returned home along with the rest.When she entered the living room, her phone started to ring.A shocking message appeared on the screen—“Josh Batton exposed for doing drugs and hiring a prostitute!”At that moment, Xyla couldn’t believe what she was seeing.In fact, she refused even to trust a single word about this rumor.Now, people in entertainment would do anything to defame others!After opening the post, various dis

“He even claims that he didn’t do drugs at all, and he suspects that the woman must have put the bag of drugs under his couch when he wasn’t paying attention…“It was clear that the woman came prepared because she brought those tools along.“President Xyla, this is a coordinated attack. Someone must have carefully planned this to drag Josh down.“Josh has gotten too popular in the past few years. He’s dominated the entire entertainment industry by at least two-thirds of the figurative pie. Naturally, there are a lot of people who wish him dead.” Georgie Clementine sounded unusually serious.“Also, the woman had barely been there for a minute when the cops barged through the door…” Georgie added.After hearing all this, Xyla Quest became extremely mad.Ever since she stepped into the entertainment industry, she had heard of many incidents like this.The entertainment industry was a dark place.As long as you were famous, there would be people who want to defame you.

Number seven trending topic, ‘#Josh Batton has poor taste# Shocking!’Number eight trending topic, ‘#Josh Batton’s company makes an announcement# Shocking!’This was the first time in Xyla Quest’s life that she saw such a spectacle on the list of trending topics.Not only were the eight most trending topics all about the same person, but there was the word ‘shocking’ behind each title.Josh Batton’s fans and onlookers were engaged in fierce arguments on each topic.“I’m just an onlooker, and I just want to say that Josh’s fans are really hopeless. Do you still believe that Josh is innocent? Anyway, Josh has a really poor taste in women. That prostitute is so ugly.”“I believe in Josh, no matter what. Didn’t you see his company’s announcement? He’s innocent.”“I don’t want to be Josh’s fan anymore. All his fans are idiots. Do you really think his company would admit he was wrong?”“Whenever celebrities are exposed for doing such things, their companies would always deny at first

“But what does this have anything to do with Josh Batton? Did Josh ask that teacher to do such a thing?”“I think Josh is quite innocent, right? How would he have known his fan would do such a thing?”“Isn’t it his fault for not guiding his fans? If he did, would his fans act so stupidly?”“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Xyla Quest received another phone call from Georgie Clementine.Georgie said some comforting things to calm Xyla down.After that, Georgie told Xyla that she didn’t have to worry. Georgie would take care of everything, and she’d keep an eye on everyone who criticized her and the company’s public relations department.Xyla said a few words to Georgie before hanging up.Xyla knew how capable her company’s public relations department and Georgie was.Hence, she didn’t feel worried about these things.After putting her phone down, Xyla looked at Stanley. “Don’t pay too much attention to the comments on the internet. It’ll only ruin your mood.”Stanley muttered an

To be honest, even before the test results were out, the policeman had already derived a conclusion through the process of interrogating Josh Batton.The test results were just the icing on top.“It’s not easy for you either.” The interrogating policeman let out another long sigh.Josh smiled without saying anything.“You’re off the hook for drugs. As for prostitution… We’ll still have to wait… That woman is still being interrogated. But I trust you,” the policeman said.“Thank you.”“Sit here for a while…” “Okay,” Josh replied.After that, the policeman left.Josh calmly looked around before closing his eyes to rest.He knew he wouldn’t be able to leave anytime soon, but he also knew that X Entertainment would save him from this place.He had no clue what terrible things were being said on the internet, but he could only imagine.***When Georgie Clementine received the test results, she immediately posted them on Weibo and clarified that Josh was framed for doing drugs

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.
