Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2455

'What on earth are you thinking, Hannah Roland? Why would Leon look at someone as insignificant as you?' Hannah thought to herself with a shake of her head, followed immediately by a facepalm. She was hoping that would stop her from thinking such nonsense. She was just a regular girl. Why would Leon pay any attention to her?

Many other girls looked prettier than her in the sports stadium.

Who was she to compare?

After Hannah regained her composure, Leon Batton made another successful shot. Then, his burning gaze was directed at her once again. That made her gulp nervously. She wasn't imagining it at all.

Leon was looking at her for some inexplicable reason.

Apart from her, several observant girls also took notice of that, and soon enough, gossip started spreading among them.

"No way! I saw Leon looking toward that direction after making that shot!"

"Oh? I heard that basketball jocks tend to look at the object of their affections after making a shot. Could it be?"

"You're right. I have heard that before!"

"No way! I think Leon was looking at me!" one of the girls insisted in a self-obsessed manner.

It didn't take long before other people began to attack her verbally.

"Get over yourself. Why would Leon look at you?"

"-"

The girl scoffed after being taunted and didn't speak again.

Naturally, Hannah overheard everything they said.

"A girl he likes?" she murmured to herself.

"Hey, what are you mumbling about?

Don't tell me you believe that Leon was looking at you," someone

said

in a mocking tone before she could figure out what the girls meant.

The girl had her hands on her waist as she glared at Hannah with a look of annoyance.

She recognized her as a student from Class C. She was the typical mean girl from a wealthy family who ganged up with several students to bully other people. Hannah kept quiet and kept her thoughts to herself as it was a bad idea to get into conflict with her.

Seeing her timid reaction, the girl

Bl.ne

raised her chin proudly and smirked before taunting Hannah. "You're an outcast How could you even compare to popular girls like us? suggest you stop kidding yourself with impossible fantasies!"

Several girls beside her began chipping in as well right after she spoke.

"Exactly. You even shamelessly spoke to Leon the last time. He rejected you then, but it looks like

you still haven't learned yourdesson.

I

I can't believe this!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're such an embarrassment. Why would you still stay in our school? If I were you, I'd have transferred long ago."

"Didn't your family go bankrupt? How can you still afford to study here?"

Hannah clenched her fists tightly upon hearing their slanderous comments. She bit her lower lip anxiously as her face contorted into a tortured expression. Reality was indeed cruel if a fallen princess didn't even have the right to develop feelings for a prince.

She could only lower her head at the thought.

The coach lost the next few rounds to Leon in a fair match out on the basketball court.

Spectators applauded in the sports stadium while Lynette Batton hopped up and down in excitement.

She looked particularly adorable as she reminded others of a rabbit.

"Woah! Lynette is so cute. I'm not sure if I'm envious of her looks or Leon for having such an adorable sister!"

"She's precious! I want to be her friend!"

Lynette's charm had drawn the attention of several people in the audience.

Meanwhile, on the basketball court....
