Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 782

Finally, it rested beside Xyla Quest’s heels.

Out of curiosity, Xyla picked up the velvet box and opened it carefully.

What came into her sight was a delicate black bracelet.

Xyla took a closer look at the beads of the bracelet. She was surprised to find out that they were not ordinary beads but tiny little stones. The stones were dark in color, and their surfaces were polished to a high gloss.

It felt oddly excellent too.

Pure curiosity was reflected in Xyla’s eyes. “What’s this?”

“Didn’t you say that you wanted stars? I couldn’t find a nameable asteroid for the time being, so I bought a piece of Martian meteorite for you.

“I made you a bracelet out of the meteorite. You can wear this for fun now, and I’ll get you a real star when a new asteroid is discovered.” As Stanley Batton explained, he took the bracelet from Xyla and put it around her wrist.

The coolness of the stones flowed through her skin.

Suddenly, that little bracelet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on her wrist.

Martian meteorite. It was not something any moneybags could get. Its value was beyond imagination.

However, the man managed to buy it and turn it into a bracelet.

“I was just joking. Why did you take it so seriously?” nagged Xyla though her tone remained soft and gentle. Joy sparkled in her eyes, and contentment warmed her from within.

The man in front of her had all the charms of the ideal boyfriend living in her dream.

“It’s a joke to you but not to me,” Stanley said truthfully before he put his arm around her shoulder and kept on moving.

Likewise, Jeremy continued moving forward while saying, “Xyla, Stan’s really nice to you, isn’t he? You better treat him better.”

Stanley’s soft lips stretched into a faint smile. “She’s pretty good to me.”

The employees who had not left the hall had recorded the whole process of Stanley giving Xyla the meteorite bracelet with their phones.

That bracelet stupefied everyone.
