Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 786

A random guy—with a Maserati steering wheel as his profile picture—sent her an invitation on Messenger. “Shall we get a room tonight?”

Emily Quest opened the message and scrolled through his profile.

There was not a single picture of him on his timeline. Emily could only find some photos of the countries he visited.

There were also a few pictures of his luxury car.

Judging from those pictures, Emily could tell that he was a wealthy man.

“Sure.” Emily agreed without hesitation.

She was already thinking of finding someone in the evening as she was in a bad mood today. She hoped that having a date could help her to relax and unwind.

Surprisingly, the wealthy man came to her before she took any action. How could she refuse such a great offer?

Emily immediately typed ‘sure’ and sent it to the man.

Shortly, the man shared his location with her.

He was at Silver International Hotel.

“See you at 8809 Presidential Suite at 8.00 p.m. I’ll be waiting for you here,” the man replied.

“Okay.” Emily responded as fast as she could. She then sent a text message to Bailey Ronson on WeChat, telling her that she would stay with her mother for a little longer and be home after ten o’clock.

There was no reply from Bailey.

“What’s going on? Why’s my right eyelid twitching all of a sudden?” May Conner lightly rubbed her right eyelid as she complained, “Is something bad about to happen?”

Only then did Emily return her focus to May. “Nah. Why are you acting so superstitious like Dad?”

Once she finished her sentence, her right eyelid started twitching too.

Nonetheless, instead of worrying about it, she shoved her phone aside and took hold of May’s hand. “Mom, please stick up for me when Dad comes back later… I’d better go now in case Dad is on his way back. It’d be bad if I bump into him.”

May nodded helplessly. “Alright, I know what to do. Don’t worry about it.”

After Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Jeremy Quest, Matt Leopold, and the other two architects had lunch together, Jeremy and the other architects decided to leave first.

Stanley led Xyla to the counter to settle the bill before the young couple stalked out of the hotel hand in hand.
