Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 338

On the other end of the phone, Xyla Quest was still on the edge of her seat.

She clutched the phone tightly in her hand and she could not take her eyes off the phone screen. She could not slack off, not in the slightest, she must wait for his call.

The people sent out to look for Stanley Batton had not come back and reported to her by now. Something must have gone wrong.

Right that moment, her phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down.

She went to find a phone charger at once.

It was then that she realised she did not carry a charger with her all this while. Without hesitation, she called out to the people outside of her ward to help search for a phone charger.

She would never let her phone die at this point. She could not bear missing any news about Stanley.

Her heart was racing and she felt that it was pounding out of her chest.

On the other side, Stanley Batton locked his phone and shoved it back into his pocket after noticing that Xyla’s phone was off.

“What’s going on?” Sebastian Brenand asked.

“Her phone shut down. Forget it, let’s go to the hospital first.” Stanley answered.

“Alright then.” Henry Armstrong said.

“Oh yeah, Sebastian, please warn the inspector not to talk any nonsense in front of Xyla. He must know what to say and what to keep quiet about.” Stanley turned to look at Sebastian.

Sebastian snapped his fingers in delight. “You don’t want our identities to be exposed, right? Yeah I get it, no worries.”

“I don’t get it, brother, why exactly do you want to hide about it?” Henry looked puzzled.

Stanley did not answer but glanced at Zack and continued, “Look for the evidence of the crimes that Fred Thomson’s father and uncle ever did. Publish them as soon as possible. You have one day to do so.”

“Yes…” Zack nodded politely.

Xyla Quest had been waiting for half an hour but there was no sign of the phone charger.
