Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 698

To prevent the Sullivan family from getting suspicious of her, Emily Quest would make sure that she was home by eleven o’clock when she met up with the other men at night.

She would then lie to the Sullivan family that she had a bad day, so she wanted to go for a walk.

They did not care about her, anyway. None of them care about how she felt or where she went.

If she hung out with the other men during the daytime, she would tell them she wanted to go shopping, or she needed to take medicine from the hospital. In short, there were a bunch of excuses that she could use.

She usually would have fun longer during the daytime. There were times when she constantly pestered them for the whole afternoon.

Occasionally, she would also hang out with two or three men at once.

Initially, Emily did not plan to find any men tonight, but her heart was burning again after seeing Josh.

She had to find a place to vent.

While Emily was entangled with a young man in bed, Xyla Quest was duo-queuing with Team QPG’s Support in the study room. She had been playing the game since she came home from dinner.

Emily was having a fierce battle, and the same was true for her sister.

After Stanley Batton came out from the bathroom, he sat on the bed and unlocked his phone, going through the correspondence between his company and the partnerships in earnest.

It was already midnight when he finished reading all the documents.

Stanley took off his gold-rimmed glasses and massaged his forehead. Feeling much better, he opened his eyes and scanned the bedroom.

She had not come back.

It was unsurprising. His wife would always give her all to achieve her goal whenever she started doing something.

This was also what he liked most about her.

She always did her very best in whatever she did.

Nevertheless, her determination had its disadvantage too.

This was not the first time Stanley felt like she neglected him because of that stupid video game.

Sometimes, he texted her in the afternoon, but she did not reply to him. He had to wait for hours for her to get back to him, explaining how she missed the message because she had training at the base.

Even after she had finished all her work, she would grab her laptop and play the game for a while before going to bed.

When Stanley walked into the study room, Xyla was frantically attacking the enemy’s inhibitor with her Support.

She was just a few clicks away from destroying the inhibitor.
