Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 772

Gary Lakes’ name appeared on the screen.

“What do you want?” Sebastian Brenand picked up the phone while kicking his slippers away. He then tucked himself under the white duvet and closed his eyes.

“Are you back from Edgewater? When did you come back? How did you get into a car accident?” Gary was leaning against the railing on his balcony as he smoked. He was also looking down at the garden full of flowers in bloom.

“I came back last night… Hmm. I’m fine, but the car isn’t…” Sebastian said.

Gary took a deep breath. “Well… Did you see Rachel? Didn’t you two patch things up? Why do you look so terrible?” he asked carefully.

“Stop talking about it. She’s already married. We’ll talk over drinks tonight. I’m hanging up…” Sebastian said before directly hanging up the phone.

Gary frowned slightly. After looking at his phone screen for a while, he shifted his gaze back to the flowers in his garden. “Rachel Wood…” He murmured to himself.

There was an indescribable sense of disappointment in his eyes.

Many days later, it was finally time for the blueprint design selection.

Early in the morning, Xyla was woken up by her pre-set alarm.

She got up to make sure her blueprint design looked fine. After that, she cleaned herself up and put on some light make-up. She then put on an oversized white shirt and a pair of velvet-red heels.

As Xyla stood in front of a gold-engraved dressing mirror, she carefully checked her reflection to make sure her make-up seemed alright. After that, she casually unfastened the black ribbon around her hair.

In the next second, her ponytail came loose.

Her long, thick, and curly hair dangled naturally around her.

The spotless mirror perfectly reflected her fair skin, her perfect curvatures, and her beauty and elegance.

Although she had on very little make-up, her facial features seemed intricate and perfect all the same.

Casually, Xyla retrieved a red Chanel backpack from the racks for bags. She strapped it on behind her and left the room with her blueprint design.
