Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 275

Xyla sounded firm. Since Stanley refused to listen to her when she was not being assertive, she would have to take a more assertive stance.

When the men dressed in black heard her, they were all shocked. Each one of them felt nervous on her behalf. Xyla actually dared to speak to Stanley like that. Did she have a death wish?

“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you,” said Stanley, shaking his head helplessly. There was a gentle look in his eyes.

Covering Xyla up with his coat, he buttoned it up for her from behind, then shifted it until the buttons were in front. “You can put your hands through the sleeves now. It’ll feel more comfortable that way.”

The men dressed in black were stunned. They looked at one another in confusion. Was this the real Stanley? They felt utterly confused by what was happening. Nobody had ever spoken to him like this. When did he ever treat a woman in such a way?

“Why aren’t you getting your men to stop then?” asked Xyla.

Stanley pinched his forehead before waving at one of the men around him. The man immediately ran into the villa. After that, another man dressed in black opened the car door on the other side for Stanley.

Elegantly getting into the car and moving close to her, he asked, “Are you happy now?”

Xyla nodded satisfactorily. “Oh, right. Did they record what happened earlier? If they did, you can use that to threaten Tom so that he won’t make a big fuss.”

“They know what to do,” said Stanley. A faint smile appeared on his face once again.

“Oh. Thank you for saving my life. If it wasn’t for you, I’d be dead now,” said Xyla sincerely.

“Why the formality?” Stanley asked, carefully brushing her messy hair.

“You… How did you find out something happened to me? And how did you find your way here?” asked Xyla. She felt curious about everything that happened.

“Because of this,” replied Stanley, slowly taking Xyla’s phone out of his pocket. The screen of the phone was shattered.

“When I left the house, I noticed your phone on the road and immediately sensed something was amiss. Hence, I went to check the road surveillance footage and found out that all the footage from the time you left home was gone. I knew that something must have happened to you.”

“What happened after that?”
