Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 277

The ignited lighter twirled in his slender fingers where every spark just barely flickered across his skin.

This gesture was utterly alluring.

“After our men released Tom Sullivan, he grabbed his arm and drove to the hospital.” Zack added, “I heard that Young Madam wishes not to make this incident huge, correct?”

“Actually, I think Young Madam is right. If this issue escalates and gets out, it wouldn’t be good for the Young Madam. People would often add in bits of details once they start spreading until, alas, they turn into a completely different thing.

“Worst case scenario, it becomes a version where he has successfully slept with our Young Madam.” Zack’s tone was respectful and serious.

“I know,” said Stanley.

“Fifth Master, our people have warned him saying that we have evidence of his crime in our hands. He wouldn’t dare to put the word out and escalate things either simply.”

“I suspect that he won’t even tell his family. After all, Tony Sullivan is annoyed by him. If another scandal breaks out, he probably won’t have any status in the family anymore,” Zack continued saying.

“Yeah.” Stanley frowned slightly.

“Shall this be the end?” the other side asked.

“Not making it to the police station doesn’t mean things have to end here.”

“Then, what do you mean?”

“Doesn’t he enjoy things like those? Arrange a few women for him, let him enjoy himself nicely for two days and nights.” Stanley scoffed.

“... Yes.” The other person was silent for a second before speaking up, respectfully, “I was wondering… will this be too harsh?”

“Since when is it your turn to question me?”

“Yes… yes… I know what to do. I will arrange everything, and I know how to take care of things afterward as well. There’s no need for you to worry.”

Stanley did not answer. He simply hung up and lit a cigarette.

His movements were swift, oozing a thick sense of masculinity.

After smoking a cigarette, he went downstairs.

After a comfortable hot water bath, Xyla’s heart finally calmed down.

The inextricably linked negative emotions seemed to be completely washed away.

Changing into a set of clean mist blue colored silk home wear, she sat on the bed and took out the SIM card from her destroyed phone and put it into an identical model inside her drawer.

Then, she turned it on.

Seeing that no one had looked for her, she hugged her laptop and started playing League of Legends to relax.

Once inside the game, North sent her a message. “God, can you carry me?”

Seven replied. “Sure.”

After that, she invited the player into her team.

The player quickly entered the team.

Messages constantly flood her chatbox.

North wrote. “God, god, you haven’t come online for a few days. I miss you.”

Seven replied. “I was busy with some stuff.”

After waiting briefly, the game entered a queue.

She chose Kai’Sa, and the game soon started. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Knock, knock, knock.

She had just purchased her starting gear and was about to leave for the bottom lane when there was a knock on the door.

Xyla slowly directed her gaze to the door. “Please come in…”

Soon, Stanley came over to her, carrying an exquisite lobster rice bowl.

In an instant, the dense fragrance of seafood invaded her senses, warming her heart.

“It’s noon, and you should be hungry. So I made you a lobster rice bowl. Not sure if it’s to your taste,” Stanley spoke as he placed it at the bedside table.
