The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 977

With Christian Hall personally handling things, Xyla Quest’s request was very quickly sorted out.

Once everything was taken care of, Xyla left the bank with the female servant’s parents.

She first sent the couple home.

After that, she returned to her own house with her group of bodyguards.

When she drove her car into the courtyard, the sky was already turning dark.

The lights in the courtyard were all switched on.

Under the brilliant lights, the flowers and plants looked extraordinarily perfect.

After checking her appearance using the mirror inside the car, Xyla walked into the house.

As soon as she entered, she could smell the scent of a rich, creamy broth wafting through her nostrils.

It instantly made Xyla crave food.

She quickly followed the scent into the kitchen, only to find Stanley Batton carefully cleaning large prawns in front of the sink.

There were all sorts of cleaned ingredients next to him on the kitchen top, including abalones, lobsters, lettuce, shiitake mushrooms, duck feet, and duck innards. These were all ingredients that Xyla liked.

Stanley was wearing a white, silk casual outfit with a black silk apron over it.

The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows, making him appear clean yet leisurely.

The creamy broth was boiling in the pot, and the strong scent of smoke and fire overpowered his physique’s harshness. Between his eyebrows was a little hint more gentleness.

When Stanley saw that Xyla had entered, his eyes lit up. “You’re home.”

Xyla slowly let go of him. She stood next to him and picked up a toothpick. “Let me help you,” she said.

With that, she reached out to pick up a prawn in the sink.

Before her hand touched the prawn, Stanley blocked her with his hand. “Be good… Sit over there. This is dirty.”

“But I want to help you,” Xyla said.

“It’s okay… It’ll be done very soon… Hurry up and go there,” Stanley said in a dominant yet gentle tone. He wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.

“Alright.” Xyla shrugged helplessly. She then left the kitchen in peace. After sitting cross-legged on the couch, she opened a bag of chips. While eating the chips, she opened Weibo to find out the latest gossip.

The fifth hot topic on Weibo’s list caught her attention. ‘#Xyla Quest at the bank#’.
