Stanleyโs gaze sent shivers down Sebastianโs spine. โUhmโฆ as a strong competitor of our King Entertainment, we naturallyโฆ you know,โ Sebastian stammered as he explained. โBut donโt you worry. There wonโt be a next time,โ Sebastian added quickly, hoping to stay alive. โDo as you see fit.โ Stanley remained indifferent. Having said that, Stanley gave Zack a call. โInform all media companies that I do not wish to see any negative news on Imperial Prime.โ Sebastian was confused. โJust this? Donโt you plan on doing more?โ Stanley simply took a long draw of his cigarette. His expression remained cold showing no emotion as he kept quiet. *** After a relaxing bubble bath and a nourishing face mask, Xyla found herself revitalized and full of energy. Her footsteps also became lighter. After putting on a layer of skin care, she sat at the bed to wait for Lanaโs news. She had just taken up her phone when Lana called. She immediately answered anxiously. โXyla dear, we didnโt

The tips of Emilyโs hair swept across Xylaโs face before falling back to her shoulders. Emily then rolled her eyes coldly at her before going downstairs while humming a cheerful tune. Xyla frowned slightly. She tidied her outfit and was about to go downstairs as well. Just then, she got a call from the quality control departmentโs director, Bailey Lawson, informing her that they had arrived at Imperial Prime. Xyla hurried downstairs and sped away in her car, heading for Imperial Prime without even having breakfast. By the time she arrived, Imperial Prime was a mess. Everyone was squeezing into the sales center, and the premise was packed with people, inside and out. Some people even held up banners outside the building that read, โUnethical developer, refund us now!โ Xyla felt her mind explode when she saw this scene. Noticing the quality control departmentโs car stopped in front of the sales centerโs entrance, Xyla immediately drove over to stop beside that car befor

Baileyโs subordinates followed closely behind them. Once inside, Xyla led the group over to stand in the middle of the lounge. At that moment, the property owners immediately crowded over, surrounding them to the point where it was almost suffocating. The security guards stood guard around them with much difficulty, trying to keep them safe. Yet, the crowd was making it hard for them to stand firm. โI donโt want to house anymore! Refund me this instant!โ โRefund! Refund! Refund us now!โ The property owners were yelling loudly, one more agitated than the other. The scene was chaotic, but Xyla remained calm as she stood there. After sweeping a glance around, Xyla raised a finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture. She yelled loudly, โPlease be quiet for a moment. I hope everyone can listen to a few words of mine.โ In an instant, the noisy crowd gradually fell silent. Xyla looked at the crowd firmly and said, โEveryone, please hear me out. Thereโs absolutely nothin
Revenge of the Hideous Ladyย ย ย Chapter 67
She had thought that after bringing the people from the quality control department here and having everyone hear them out, a portion of people might calm down. However, none of them did. Various high-pitched voices meshed together, and they sounded more piercing than thunder. Xyla immediately made another shushing gesture and shouted, โEveryone, listen to meโฆ Everyone, hear me out, okay?โ โWhatโs there to hear? Refund me now!!!โ โThatโs right, refund, refund! Stop rambling on!!!โ โRefund! Refund! If you donโt refund, weโll keep protesting!!! Unethical Quest Group, refund us immediately!โ No one in the crowd had any intention of listening to Xyla anymore as they continued to yell madly. The situation was out of control, and the shouts were deafening. Xyla felt suffocated by such an atmosphere. She wanted to say more, but no one present was willing to listen. That dull, smothering feeling put her at a loss of what to do. The faces before her were all angry. If eyes

Xyla scanned this person closely. This person was dressed in cheap goods where the extra threads on her clothes were loose. Her blonde hair was dyed messily, and it was obvious that her hair wasnโt done by a professional. In particular, the white sneakers on her feet seemed to be a bit yellowish and were worn for a few years now. She did not at all seem like a person who could afford a property here. If this person was not a homeowner but was here to take the lead in causing a stir, what did that mean? That meant that she was hired by someone to come here and stir up trouble! At this thought, Xylaโs expression immediately turned coldโฆ Being stared at by Xyla made the blonde woman uneasy. She subconsciously took a step back as her eyes darted everywhere. โYouโฆ What are you staring at me for? Refund us right now! Do you hear me?โ Xyla scoffed. Pushing away from the guard beside her, Xyla closed in on the woman step by step with the microphone in hand. โYou want a refund

The crowd was once again influenced. They started standing behind the blonde woman and kept extending their hands to point at Xylaโs face. The crowd was agitated, and their voices rang like giant bells. Everyone kept squeezing toward them. The security guard could barely contain them any longer, and they were starting to panic. The people from the quality control department also felt their heads hurt as they watched. However, Xyla remained composed as a solid mountain and was calm as ever. It was as if she would not waver even if her enemies were at bay. She casually scanned the crowd before holding the microphone to her lips again and saying loudly to everyone, โPlease be quiet and let me say a few sentences. You guys can get excited again after that.โ The noise died down once again. โEveryone, donโt listen to her rambles anymore. Sheโs just toying us,โ the blonde woman yelled hysterically. โI asked you to show me your agreement, but you said youโve forgotten to bring

The blonde woman began to hesitate. Should she confess? Can this person be trusted? What if after she confessed, not only was there no money, but they would even hand her to the police instead?Moreover, that person had once told her that they would support her no matter what happened. That person was clearly more reliable and capable. After some thought, she figured she should trust that person instead. Besides, what was there to fear if that person was going to support her? That person had told her not to be afraid no matter what happened. At this thought, she immediately regained her senses. Her body was filled with confidence, and even her back straightened. She started struggling vigorously again. โWhat money? What do you mean by someone hiring me? Are you mental? Jail? What rights do you have to send me to jail? I should be the one sending you to jail, shouldnโt I? โI came here to buy a house. When something happened to your property, I came here with everyone to ask f

The black-clothed men then split up to stand on either side of the tiny path before lowering their heads respectfully. This magnificent display of authority immediately attracted everyoneโs attention. Everyone directed their gaze to the entrance. Soon, Sharon Lindt walked in with her group of wealthy friends who had purchased some houses previously in a grandiose manner. They were a group of fifteen people. Each of them donned internationally branded outfits and limited edition branded handbags. Be it their outfits or their auras; they were extremely eye-catching. Sharon, who was walking in front, was most striking. She wore a light green genuine silk cheongsam paired with a pure white fox fur shawl and black vintage Mary Janes. There was a silver Hermes bag on her arm while exquisite diamond jewelry decorated her body. Covered in jewels, the woman was clearly a standard wealthy lady. Be it her figure or her aura, Sharon could easily captivate the entire scene in an instant

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ 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.

โHannah, Iโve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?โ Leon asked, serious.โYes, I amโฆโ Hannah answered without missing a beat.โIโll protect you. From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her.

Over time, Leonโs 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, Hannahโs 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 wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt 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.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs 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.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ 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.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs 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, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt 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 Grayโฆ 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 didnโt 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.

I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ 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 werenโt 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 didnโt respect women at allโฆ Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality.
