Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 76

“I went to Imperial Prime today.” Sharon sounded excited.

Stanley raised an eyebrow. He got up and leisurely walked to the large french window emotionlessly. “Oh.”

After that, he pinched his nose bridge then placed a hand on the railing as he looked at the bustling city below him. The man was like a wise but emotionless monarch.

“Don’t you have something to say?”

“And then?” he asked faintly.

“And then, you don’t know just how amazing your wife is.” Sharon was getting more excited as she spoke. She started telling Stanley about everything she saw at the sales center enthusiastically.

Sharon chattered on endlessly with vivid descriptions. The adoration was clear in her voice.

Stanley was listening with great satisfaction as a smile of approval graced his lips.

“Say, how are you so lucky? If I were a man, I’d definitely be envious of you,” Sharon added.

“Oh,” he replied calmly without saying more, as usual.

“And you, you rascal! Something so huge has happened to your wife. Why didn’t you keep getting people to buy properties from her?” At this point, Sharon sounded mildly annoyed.

“Haven’t you already done so?”

“You’ve guessed that I would go, so you didn’t do anything, huh?” Sharon asked.

“I’m going back to work. We’ll talk at home.” Having said that, Stanley hung up and returned to his computer.
