Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2499

Hannah Roland sucked in a deep breath, her eyes landing on a handsome young man when she looked up.

He appeared to be in his early twenties, exuding an aura of success and elegance.

"You're here," he said softly.

Hannah nodded slowly, her heart racing.

"Come in," he said before walking back into the room.

She followed him inside, feeling extremely heavy on her feet. A few steps felt like a thousand miles to her.

She hesitated and halted in her tracks as soon as she walked through the door.

Sensing that Hannah was no longer following him, the man turned around and walked up to her.

Closing the door with his foot, he leaned against the wall next to her as he lit up a cigarette. "I'm guessing you came to me today because you were going to agree to my suggestion, but you're having second thoughts, aren't you?"

His family had a close relationship with Hannah's family, and he had liked her ever since they were children.

He always treated her like his future wife, but she never reciprocated his feelings.

He offered to provide for her financially when her family went bankrupt, but she rejected him without even thinking about it.

He was overjoyed when she called today, thinking she had finally decided to accept his suggestion.

However, he didn't expect her to be hesitant again.

"I'm sorry, I-I've taken up your time," Hannah said with a deep frown. "I can't."

With that, she directly turned around to leave.

He spoke up then. "I know you're in a difficult position, Hannah. You'll come back to me even if you leave now. So, don't leave, please?

"You can continue to study if you want. Otherwise, you can also choose to travel all over the world. What do you say?

"Come on. Be a good girl, all right?" he urged. He sounded kind and gentle the entire time.

However, she shook her head. "I'm sorry, Stephen."

Stephen Dunn frowned slightly before walking up to her. "Why are you doing this? Stop hesitating, will you?

"Hannah, I can make you happy. Believe me," Stephen declared sincerely.

She shook her head again and then turned and left.

She still couldn't take that step in the end.

No matter what, she couldn't give herself to Stephen, whom she had no feelings for.

Stephen was handsome and capable, and he was also good to her, but she simply didn't love him.

Panting, she then placed her hands on her knees, feeling alive again.

There was a saying that a person could let anything go once pushed to the limit.

However, Hannah realized she simply couldn't.
