Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 644

The news headline was praising Xyla Quest’s painting.

Xyla knew what everyone was probably saying in the comment section without even having to read through the article.

She didn’t tap on the link. Instead, she locked her phone screen and looked at Sharon Lindt. “Mom, I never told you I could paint. Why were you so confident in me in front of everyone earlier?” Xyla asked.

This was something Xyla had wanted to ask Sharon.

Sharon placed her hands on her face and smiled at Xyla. “It’s because of your comments and what you said to your stepmother… You said that just because you have never painted in the past, it didn’t mean you wouldn’t know how to paint now.”

“Why didn’t you think I was just blowing my own trumpet as everyone else said?” Xyla felt a warm sensation spreading in her heart when she recalled how much Sharon trusted in her.

Sharon smiled. “That’s because I know that Xyla would never blow her own trumpet. You always say what you mean. I never doubted anything you said,” Sharon responded.

Xyla was touched by what Sharon said.

She felt as if a warm flow of air had entered her chest.

“Thank you… Mom,” Xyla said.

“What’s there to thank? If you want to thank me, you can do so by teaching me how to paint,” Sharon said with a smile.

“Of course,” Xyla said and smiled as she held Sharon’s hand.

As soon as their hands touched, Xyla’s phone rang again…

The call was from her gaming team’s manager, Michael Gabriel.

“What’s up, Michael?” Xyla immediately picked up.

“Boss, Canelo accidentally sprained his wrist when he was carrying some stuff earlier. He won’t be able to play in the semi-finals. Right now, we don’t have any back-up ADC player. You’ll have to take his place, boss. Otherwise, we’re a gone case for this season.” Michael sounded full of panic.

“What? Is the injury serious? Now isn’t the time to talk about the competition. It’s his condition that’s more important.” Xyla’s heart tightened immediately when she heard what Michael said.
