Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 155

Stanley shot them a glare before looking at Xyla and saying, “What a coincidence.”

“Yeah,” she replied.

“Old Fifth, aren’t you supposed to officially introduce Sister-in-law to us?” asked Sebastian.

Xyla immediately blushed and explained out of reflex, “Don’t you guys misunderstand. I’m not his girlfriend. We’re just friends.”

What had Five Batton told them about her? Why was he calling her Sister-in-law?

Sebastian was still smiling. “Yeah, it’s true that you’re not his girlfriend, but you’re…” He turned to Stanley and gave him a mischievous smile.

Stanley simply shot him an ice-cold glare. “Do you have a death wish?”

Feeling a chill down his spine, Sebastian shut up at once, not daring to say another word.

Henry gave Stanley a meaningful look before smiling at Xyla and greeting her, “Hi, I’m a good friend of Old Fifth’s, Henry Armstrong. No matter what relationship you have with Old Fifth, I’m still pleased to meet you.”

Xyla took the initiative to shake hands with him, showing generosity. “Hello, I’m Xyla Quest.”

Henry shook her hand, behaving appropriately.

“I’m Sebastian Brenand, also a good friend of Old Fifth’s. I’m really sorry for tripping you back then. I hope you can forgive me. What I did the last time was akin to a fart that I didn’t manage to hold in,” said Sebastian in a serious tone.

Xyla was instantly amused by him. Laughing, she extended her hand to him. “Hello. You were just teasing me back then, so I understand.”

Sebastian started spouting flattery, “As expected of a goddess. She’s more forgiving than regular people.”

“Don’t say that, I’m getting shy,” said Xyla.

Gary extended his hand to Xyla, giving her a reserved smile. “Hello, I’m Gary Lakes, also a good friend of Old Fifth’s.”
