Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 28

“Just wait and see if I can do a good job,” Xyla Quest said calmly.

Although Xyla did not speak loudly, she sounded firm and convincing.

The confident look in Xyla’s eyes thoroughly annoyed May Conner.

“I hope you don’t get overwhelmed by the stressful work. Sometimes, biting more than you can chew can end up being horrible for you,” May sneered.

“Thank you for your concern, Aunty.” Xyla smiled and looked away.

“I will wait for you to make a fool of yourself.” May rolled her eyes at Xyla before turning around and walking away.

Right then, Xyla was in such a good mood that she could not be bothered by May. After turning around, Xyla turned to look at Stanley Batton, who was still standing there stiffly. “Thank you for saving me today.”

Up until now, Xyla was still amazed by Stanley’s brave act of ramming into the sedan with her car.

“You’re welcome.” He looked calmly at Xyla. “What property development is that?”

“Oh. It’s the Imperial Prime in the city center.” Xyla chuckled.

“How’s your ankle?” He asked with the same blank expression.

“Not good…” She answered in pain.

Before Xyla could finish her sentence, Stanley extended his arm and picked her up.

Xyla immediately felt her heart clench.

In broad daylight, and with cars coming and going, Xyla was worried that other people might notice them.

“Put me down.” Xyla struggled to set herself free.

She wondered if the sudden appearance of a bright piercing light came from the sun or his body.

“Does the car belong to you?” Stanley asked before pointing his well-defined chin at the black business-class Benz nearby.
