Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 259

“Alright, if there’s nothing much, hurry on back to the company. I’ll give that president’s assistant a call,” said Jeremy.

“Yeah, call me if anything happens,” said Xyla as she got up.

Jeremy nodded, and Xyla left the room. Based on the current situation, it seemed like the Dragon Group was really planning to do charity by helping them. The possibility of this being true and not a scam was high.

At this thought, she suddenly felt like she was on cloud nine. Hopefully, this could all proceed as desired. But even if it didn’t, she wasn’t afraid, because she had the money they needed.

From the money she earned from X Entertainment, she had saved part of it and even invested some. Due to her good sense, her investments had been returned by a hundred folds. Since X Entertainment’s establishment until now, her accumulated wealth was just around eight billion.

Back at the Quest Group, Xyla shut everything out as she immersed herself in work. This continued on until six in the evening. Looking up, she realized that the skies outside had gradually darkened as the city lit up in bright, coloured lights.

Pushing her swivel chair back, she lazily leaned against the backrest as she massaged her nose bridge, trying to relax. Taking out her phone, she saw that Georgie had called her three times. As her phone was on silent mode, she hadn’t heard it ring at all. Hence, she simply called Georgie back.

Very soon, Georgie’s voice flowed from the other end, “What’s wrong? I called so many times but you weren’t answering. If you kept ignoring me, I would have called the police.” Her voice sounded relaxed, and there were hints of joy in it.

“I was busy with work…” replied Xyla.

“Yeah. It’s nothing much, but I wanted to tell you that Mary Sullivan might be detained for a month because of this incident,” said Georgie, chuckling.
