Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 7

Xyla Quest turned around calmly. “What is it?”

A long time ago, this man used to be like a religion to her. Her heart would pound whenever she saw him.

However, when Xyla looked at Tom’s face now, she felt nothing else but disgust and hatred.

Tom quickly approached Xyla and tried to reach for her hand.

However, Xyla immediately avoided his touch and took a step back. “You can talk to me, but do not touch me.” She frowned.

“Xyla, I’ve given it a serious thought. I don’t care if you did all of that. I’m ready to forgive you. Even if you did it, consider it an act of revenge for how I hurt you in the past. It’s all fine. Xyla, will you please give me a second chance?” Tom Sullivan sounded very eager.

Chuckle. ‘Can this man be more of a jerk?’

“Have you heard of a discounted key? You’re not even worth the price.” Xyla looked at him coldly while she snapped her fingers together.

Tom was not used to her cold rejection and proud attitude.

“Xyla… You didn’t used to be like this.” In the past, Xyla would forgive him no matter how upset she became as long as he spoke to her nicely.

However, the more Xyla behaved in this way, the more Tom liked her and wanted to have her.

Now that Xyla had become an idol to tens of thousands of people, she was a completely different person from the fat woman she used to be.

It was human nature to want something one could not have.

While the two were speaking, the sound of car engines revving could be heard.

Ten limited edition luxury cars stopped in front of Xyla, making her feel confused.

What was going on?

Tom seemed equally confused.

Very soon, a group of young men got out of their respective cars with bouquets of flowers in their hands.

As soon as they got out of their cars, they surrounded Xyla and pushed Tom out of the way.

“Miss Quest, these are flowers from the heir of Logan Wine Group. He asked me to tell you that he admires you a lot.”

“These are flowers from the heir of Glorious Century Jewelry. He says that he likes you a lot.”

“These are flowers from the heir of Meiji Group. He says that he wishes to be your friend.”

The young men eagerly told Xyla about the people who sent her those flowers.

Each of those names belonged to influential people in Atlantis and, in fact, the entire country.

Before Xyla could react, they had shoved the flowers into her arms.

Once her hands were full, the remaining flowers were left on the cobblestone ground in front of her.

After that, they quickly slipped away for fear that she might refuse to accept the flowers.

Right then, Tom was in a state of utter shock. Most of the heirs who sent the flowers were even more powerful than him. In fact, some of them were people the Sullivan family could only dream of getting close to.

The woman Tom had abandoned before had now become the brightest star in the sky. Most people could only admire her from afar.

After looking down at the flowers in her hands and those around her on the ground, Xyla finally looked at Tom’s face. “Mr. Sullivan, people have to line up to ask me out now. Also, I do not accept recycled goods.”

Emily Quest, who was hiding behind the door, saw everything that happened.

She was jealous of both the things Tom said to Xyla and the people who came to deliver flowers to Xyla.

To stop Tom from continuing the conversation with Xyla, Emily hurriedly walked over to Tom. She forced a smile on her face before wrapping her hand around Tom’s. “Brother Sullivan, what are you talking about with Xyla?”

“It’s none of your business.” Tom pulled his hand away and returned to the house.

His cold attitude made Emily feel extremely unhappy. In fact, she wished she could peel Xyla’s skin.

With her fists balled up, Emily turned to look at Xyla. “I’m warning you to stay away from my Brother Sullivan.”

Xyla could not even be bothered to look at Emily. Instead, she turned to face the gardeners around her. “Take these flowers inside…”
