Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1761

Georgie Clementine slowly opened her white Hermes purse and retrieved a black velvet box before handing it over to Cody Lancaster. “Henry asked me to give this to you. I’ll wish you a happy birthday on his behalf…”

Cody accepted the gift respectfully. “Thank you… You and Henry are too kind,” he said with a chuckle.

After that, Cody eagerly opened the box.

There was a Patek Philippe worth tens of millions inside.

Cody seemed even happier.

“Hey, thank you so much… You must have spent a lot…” Cody said.

“We’re friends. Don’t worry about it…” Georgie said with a smile.

“Oh, right. As far as I know, your mother’s company invested in Gray Path, didn’t she?” Georgie asked.

Cody nodded. “That’s right…”

“It’s a very popular title. The filming hasn’t even started, and the cast hasn’t been selected yet, but it’s already gotten onto the list of hot topics several times,” Georgie said.

“Yeah. I’ve been working on this project all this while. Now, there’s a very high expectation from the public. I feel a lot of pressure,” Cody said.

“It’s good to feel some pressure. Pressure can be transformed into motivation. As far as I know, this isn’t the first time you are overseeing a project like this. You’ve done well each time in the past… I’m sure this won’t be an exception…” Georgie said.

“I hope so,” Cody said.

“Here’s the thing. I’ve read the novel Gray Path was adapted from. I liked it a lot… I know someone suitable for the leading female role. I wonder if you’d be interested…” Georgie said.

“Who is she? The female protagonist in this drama series is a pure and innocent fairy. I’ve looked everywhere in the entertainment industry, and I still haven’t found a suitable candidate,” Cody said.

“There’s only one kind of woman lacking in the entertainment industry, and that’s the pure and innocent kind. Those supposedly pure female celebrities don’t have that innocent look in their eyes…

“It’s not the kind of purity I’m looking for at all,” Cody couldn’t help but complain.

Georgie chuckled again. “Our company has recently signed on a new actress. She’s a pretty girl from Forty-Nine Film Academy, and she’s the right person you’re looking for…” Georgie said calmly.

“Really?” Cody asked with interest.

Georgie searched for the girl’s photo on her phone.

The girl had classic looks.
