Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 76
“I went to Imperial Prime today.” Sharon sounded excited. Stanley raised an eyebrow. He got up and leisurely walked to the large french window emotionlessly. “Oh.” After that, he pinched his nose bridge then placed a hand on the railing as he looked at the bustling city below him. The man was like a wise but emotionless monarch. “Don’t you have something to say?” “And then?” he asked faintly. “And then, you don’t know just how amazing your wife is.” Sharon was getting more excited as she spoke. She started telling Stanley about everything she saw at the sales center enthusiastically. Sharon chattered on endlessly with vivid descriptions. The adoration was clear in her voice. Stanley was listening with great satisfaction as a smile of approval graced his lips. “Say, how are you so lucky? If I were a man, I’d definitely be envious of you,” Sharon added. “Oh,” he replied calmly without saying more, as usual. “And you, you rascal! Something so huge has happened to your

“Who do you think you are? If my predictions are correct, after this incident today, Father will lose all confidence in you. Congratulations!” Emily Quest continued to mock, feeling better the more she spoke. Emily felt extremely accomplished for mocking a failure. After holding herself back the entire day, Xyla’s patience was at its limit. She clenched her fists. However, she forced back her emotions once more because there was no longer a need for her to take physical action. “Sit in the living room and wait for me,” said Xyla. “What for?” “I have an announcement to make,” said Xyla calmly. She glanced at Emily’s face nonchalantly before she headed upstairs. “What announcement? An announcement that you’re backing out of Imperial Prime?” Emily was getting cheekier as she spoke. “Yeah.” Having said that, Xyla went upstairs. Since all the units of Imperial Prime had been sold, wasn’t it time for her to back out? As she watched Emily’s delighted expression, Xyla felt

“Things seem just fine. Husband, why are you yelling at Emily so angrily?” May Conner walked down the stairs before stopping at the final step and resting one hand on the railing while she looked at the others.Thereafter, May glanced at Xyla Quest coldly before hurrying over to Jeremy Quest and leaning against the couch’s armrest. “Are you unhappy because many people are requesting a refund for their rooms in Imperial Prime, and it’s all because Xyla didn’t fulfill her responsibilities?” May asked.However, Jeremy did not say a single word. He kept a solemn expression on his face while he stared straight ahead angrily.If a person’s gaze could kill, Emily felt as if she would die on the spot.When May saw Jeremy’s reaction, she subconsciously reassured herself that he could only be angry for the very reason she thought.However, even if Jeremy were angry, how could he vent his emotions on May’s daughter? Clearly, Xyla was the one who had messed up.“Xyla… If you knew you were not capa

At the time, Emily Quest felt somewhat disappointed that Tom Sullivan would not be able to witness Xyla Quest’s downfall.Now that Tom was here, it would be a great opportunity for him to witness all of it happening in front of Emily and her mother. By then, Emily was certain that Tom would have a bad impression of Xyla.Cheerfully, Emily opened the door and found Tom standing outside.Since it was snowing outside, there were layers of snow above his head and the shoulder caps of his dark blue woolen suit.There was a worn expression on his face which seemed telling of the exhaustion he must be feeling.“You don’t look like you have a bad stomach,” He said impatiently with a lowered tone.“I really wasn’t feeling well when I called you, but I got better after a while for some unknown reason,” Emily explained hurriedly.“Since you’re fine, I’m heading back to the office. I need to sort out a bunch of things at work,” Tom Sullivan said annoyedly before turning around and getting ready to

The video was displaying the surveillance footage of Imperial Prime’s sales gallery.In the chaotic scene which followed, a large group of people surrounded Xyla Quest while requesting refunds for their units.The three people quietly watched the video while they wondered why Jeremy Quest wanted them to see this footage.After a while, Xyla could be seen approaching a blonde girl in the video. However, nobody knew what they said to each other as there was no sound recorded in the surveillance footage.Closely thereafter, the woman was taken away by a group of security guards.When Emily Quest and May Conner saw that happening, their pupils widened while their hearts began to pound. Emily’s hands, which rested on her lap, were beginning to tremble slightly.What should Emily do? Did Xyla recognize the woman Emily had hired to cause a scene? What were they talking about? Had the woman spilled everything?Was their father angry because of this? It was over! It was over for Emily!May Conn

“Emily Quest, how could you do something like this? Don’t you think that’s too much?” Tom Sullivan asked with a frown.“There’s something even worse,” Xyla Quest glanced at Emily coldly before pouring herself another glass of fruit juice.“There’s another voice recording down there. Open it up,” Xyla said while she took a sip.Emily immediately felt panicked. What else could there be? Was there proof of her asking someone to make the whole thing up? That can’t be. Please, no!If that came out at the same time, Emily was doomed.Emily eyed Xyla up and down nervously. She did not dare to even look at Jeremy’s face while she proceeded to open the second voice recording with trembling hands.“I didn’t want to make anything up. Emily Quest kept asking me to do it. We are friends. Therefore, it was difficult for me to reject her. She said she would never let Imperial Prime perform well in its sales. She could not allow Xyla Quest to succeed so easily. Hence, she wanted to create a rumor so t

After a second, Emily Quest took a deep breath and tried to suppress her fear while she looked at Xyla Quest.“Did you arrange everything to happen this way? You made that woman and that man say those things to put the blame on me. I have no idea what they were talking about! Xyla Quest, what have I done to deserve this? Have you decided to be heartless just to fight over the family inheritance? Dad, Mom, and Brother Sullivan, you must not believe what Xyla said. She set all this up to put the blame on me intentionally,” Emily said.At this crucial moment, Emily had to deny everything to possibly stay alive. If she admitted to all the accusations, her father would beat her into a pulp!“That’s right. Husband, you can’t only listen to one side of the story. A lot of things need to be verified gradually,” May Conner added before walking over to Jeremy nervously. She leaned against the armrest while holding on to his arm tightly.Since the beginning, Xyla had not uttered a single word. In

“Brother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.” Emily Quest’s tears would not stop rolling down her cheeks. Her body was trembling severely as she looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.“Emily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?” Tom said through gritted teeth while he clenched his fists tightly.Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, she still felt very hurt by his words.Emily felt as if her mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.“I told you none of this is at it seems,” Emily explained.However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to her explanation as he turned his face away.After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as she quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest and kneeled on the ground.“Dad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.” She held onto Jeremy’s hand tightly.Since Jeremy was already v

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.
