Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1494

“It’s okay… We have stuff to do…” Stanley Batton said.

“What stuff?” Nancy Jules had a slightly disappointed look in her eyes.

“I have to take my wife around…” Stanley said.

“Alright, fine. Whatever. I’ll be leaving then…” With that, Nancy shifted her gaze to Xyla Quest’s face. “Beautiful lady, I’ll take my leave now. See you when I see you.”

Right after that, Nancy turned around and returned to her car.

“Since she’s offered you a huge business deal, why don’t we accept her offer to sit down and have a chat?” Xyla asked.

“Didn’t you want to stroll around?” Stanley asked.

“It’s fine to give that up if something important crops up…” Xyla said.

“I have to do what I promised you I would…” Stanley said.

With that, Stanley opened the car door like a gentleman and helped Xyla to get inside.

In the luxurious sports car in front, Nancy was able to see Xyla and Stanley’s interaction clearly through the rearview mirror.

Back when Nancy failed to pursue Stanley, she truly felt that this man was destined to be alone.

In fact, Nancy even felt that whoever ended up being his woman would suffer greatly. That woman would have to be on her toes and serve Stanley dutifully for the rest of her life…

However, Nancy never expected that this day would come for Stanley too.

This, perhaps, was love.

When you love someone, you’d be willing to change for that person. Even a cold-hearted male goddess would do the same when he was in love.

“So lucky…” Nancy let out a long, depressed sigh.

Soon, Xyla and Stanley’s car disappeared from her line of sight.

Meanwhile, she sat in her car and didn’t leave…

She was truly envious of their romance.

On a brightly lit, flat tar road, a black Bugatti Veyron moved forward stably.

Xyla leaned lazily against the passenger seat window as she looked out at the scenery that flashed by.

Stanley steered with one hand and held Xyla’s hand tightly with his other, fingers interlaced together.

Even when he was driving, he wanted to stay close to Xyla.

Seeing that Xyla wasn’t speaking, Stanley initiated a topic.

Stanley started telling Xyla about things between himself and Nancy in the past.

He also told Xyla about how Nancy came to the company and offered him the huge business deal this afternoon.

Xyla listened carefully before immediately offering compliments. “This classmate of yours is quite loyal. She even thinks of you when there are good things…”

Hearing Stanley talk about these things made Xyla feel somewhat suspicious…
