Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 408

After finishing her sentence, Xyla Quest headed directly upstairs.

Buzz, buzz, buzz… Catherine Batton’s call came in again and distracted Stanley Batton right then.

“What is it now?” Stanley said after picking up.

“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to play a game with me?”

“No,” Stanley answered right away.

After that, he ended the call and walked out the door.

Meanwhile, in the Quest family’s villa, Emily Quest was playing with her phone in bed after calming herself down from feeling angry earlier.

Beep, beep, beep… Suddenly, she received a call from Tom Sullivan.

When she saw who was calling, her hand trembled slightly.

These days, Tom had been calling her very frequently, and he always talked about getting a divorce.

Despite rejecting him each time, Tom still called her back repeatedly. It seemed he was very determined about it.

As usual, Emily immediately cancelled the call.

She absolutely refused to get a divorce with Tom. Now, she had already lost too much. There’s no way she could allow herself to lose Tom too.

Although Tom no longer had the same status as he did before, Emily believed that he would regain the glory of his former days sometime in the future.

Emily wouldn’t easily let go of such a valuable husband so that other women could snatch him. Once Tom returned to the peak of his glory, Emily would be the one standing next to him.

Right then, Tom sent her a Wechat message. “Come out and have a chat… I’m in front of your house. Don’t worry, it’s not about getting a divorce.”
