Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 276

Through the smoke in the air, Stanley slowly turned around and examined Xyla’s face with a deep look in his eyes.

“You don’t have to return anything to me for now,” he said calmly after exhaling a puff of smoke.

“Let me thank you by buying you a meal tonight,” said Xyla.

“Sure.”

“I’ll decide on the place and send you the location on WeChat,” said Xyla with a forced smile.

“Okay,” he replied with a gentle look on his face.

“Is there any particular restaurant you’d like to go to?”

“Anything is fine. Wherever you like.”

The driver who overheard the conversation was shocked. He could not resist peeking at Stanley through the rearview mirror. Stanley’s gentle demeanor was giving him a heart attack. Was Stanley capable of saying things this nicely? Why had he never known about it?

The driver had never heard Stanley saying the words ‘anything is fine’ in front of him or anyone else. This girl was amazing.

“I noticed you were acting strangely when I walked through the door earlier. Your body seemed weak. You only recovered after I held you in my arms. Why was that? Did he drug you?” asked a concerned Stanley.

“Yeah, he sprayed some sort of drug at me when I wasn’t paying attention. I immediately passed out when it happened. When I woke up, I realized my body was weak and I couldn’t even speak. I only recovered slowly after you walked through the door,” Xyla answered truthfully.

The more she thought about what happened to her, the angrier she became. If Stanley had not fired at Tom and asked his men to beat him up, Xyla would have called the police. She wanted Tom to spend some time in prison.
