Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1349

“Let’s talk when we meet tomorrow,” Director Corbet said before letting out a long, helpless sigh. “I really don’t know what to do with you… You were never like this in the past. What exactly happened this time?”

“It’s for someone close to my heart,” Josh Batton said before laughing bitterly. After that, he slowly shifted his gaze forward.

“Are you in love? Did your girlfriend ask for a break-up?” Director Corbet asked.

“I’m still single…” Josh said.

“Well then, what were you doing…” Director Corbet said.

“Stop asking. It's a private affair,” Josh said.

After having some small talk with Director Corbet, Josh hung up.

Josh was driving a luxurious Mercedes-Benz at high speed with no one else around.

Although he made Director Corbet upset, he didn’t regret it in the slightest bit…

If he could go back in time, and everything were to happen all over again, he would still do the same thing.

Even if the news reported that Xyla Quest was fine, he would still want to see Xyla in person. He wanted to make sure that she really was fine personally.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to relax.

Having gone through ups and downs in the entertainment industry for so many years, whether he was famous or not, he never forgot why he started all this.

Josh had never allowed himself to do something like what he did today.

In the industry, Josh was known for his professionalism and approachability.

Who didn’t know that Josh was famous, professional, and approachable in the entertainment industry? Who didn’t know that he would never be late for no reason?

However, he made an exception for Xyla today.

Moreover, he even did so willingly.

Be it the entertainment industry or any other industry, there certainly was a large demographic of women who liked him.

However, he didn’t have eyes for any of them…

In his eyes and his heart, there was only one person, and that was Xyla.

As soon as Stanley Batton made it downstairs, he walked over to Xyla and sat next to her.

Ron Batton was on Xyla’s left while Stanley was on her right.

Stanley naturally lifted his hand and ruffled Xyla’s hair as if nobody else was around. “How do you feel now? Hmm?” he asked softly.

“I feel much better than I did before…” Xyla said this to avoid making them worry.

To be honest, her state of mind was such that she’d feel a little better than before as long as there was somebody around to talk to her.
