Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 191

The lights were all switched on in the house, making it seem almost as bright as day.

Meanwhile, the house was warm enough due to the working heater. It felt almost like summer inside.

After dusting the snow off her body, Xyla Quest quickly took off her large coat and hung it near the entrance. She then changed into her slippers and entered the living room.

At that moment, Stanley Batton was sitting on the couch watching the news on the television. Coincidentally, the news being broadcast was related to how Dragon Group had successfully withdrawn its investments from the Sullivan Group.

Dressed in a black, silk set of house clothes, he seemed very noble.

Meanwhile, his fair skin seemingly glimmered under the bright lights.

Xyla quickly walked over and sat next to him before opening a pack of chips.

“Are you interested in this too?” She asked as she ate the chips.

“Just browsing through,” he said.

“I heard that Dragon Group withdrew their investments from the Sullivan family because the latter made the partner of Dragon Group’s heir upset,” Xyla said before placing another chip in her mouth.

“Oh,” Stanley said calmly. His facial expression did not change.

“I’m very curious about the kind of woman she is to be able to influence Dragon Group’s heir to this extent,” Xyla said.

“She must be a very beautiful woman,” Stanley said after turning to look at Xyla and lighting a cigarette.

“That’s for certain,” Xyla said.

“Did you have hot-pot for dinner?” Stanley asked.

“Yeah. How did you know?”

“You smell like hot-pot,” he said.

“You really have a good sense of smell. Yeah, I did have hot-pot for dinner. Have you eaten?” Xyla asked.
