Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 8

After that, Zack Cassidy brought the two bodyguards with him and approached Xyla Quest and Mary Sullivan.

After Zack nodded at Xyla slightly, he pushed the golden-frame of his glasses slightly upward before looking at Mary Sullivan. “Miss, what is your name?”

Mary frowned a little. “Mary Sullivan. What is it? If you want to flirt with me, please find a better time. I’m kind of occupied at the moment.”

Zack frowned slightly in response. Upon a closer look, this woman appeared like a ghost just as his Fifth Master had said. Even though her facial features were not great, she still had a lot of make-up on. It was a horrifying sight.

How could a person like her be self-obsessed enough to think that Zack was flirting with her?

“Miss Mary Sullivan, I’m sorry to inform you that you have been included in our shopping mall’s blacklist. From today on, all shopping malls in the globe that belong to our Fifth Master will no longer provide you with any further service…” Zack Cassidy said coldly.

Hearing this, Mary’s facial expression immediately turned gloomy. “Who is your Fifth Master? How dare he do this to me? Do you know that I am a VVIP of this shopping mall? Is this how you treat your respected VVIP?”

“Our Fifth Master does not need any permission to do that,” Zack responded.

After that, Zack decisively waved his hand at the two bodyguards next to him as his face turned cold. “Remove this person from the premises now!”

Immediately, the two bodyguards carried Mary by her limbs and walked away in haste.

Mary struggled frantically. “Do you know who I am? What’s wrong with you? Let go of me! Don’t you know that nobody has ever treated me like this?”

Since the people around found the scene hilarious, they began recording with their phones and laughing at Mary.

Xyla looked at Zack confusedly. “What’s going on?”

Zack nodded at her politely without answering her before he turned around and walked away.

Right then, the shopping assistant had returned with Xyla’s clothes. He handed it over to her in a wrapped bag. “Miss, here are your clothes.”

“Thank you,” Xyla Quest said after accepting the bag.

In the parking lot of Goldfield Plaza, a black Ferrari Sbarro-Tornado-SB1 shone brightly under the sun.

It was a supercar. There were only ten limited edition units in the world. Therefore, it attracted a lot of attention.

Meanwhile, a man sat in the car with his eyes closed while he rested. With the window rolled halfway down, the part of his face visible to outsiders was enough to make them blush.

Very quickly, Zack Cassidy got into the car. He then pushed his golden-framed glasses and looked at the man respectfully. “Fifth Master, we have already thrown that woman out. Also… I have included her in the blacklist of all shopping malls you own.”

“Alright,” the man answered briefly.

“Have you investigated what I asked you to?” The man asked.

Zack nodded respectfully yet again. “Yes. That lady’s name is Xyla Quest…”

Xyla Quest…

Why did that name sound so familiar?

“Go on…”

“She is your wife,” Zack added.

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly before he opened his eyes. “What?” His cold gaze was on Zack’s face.

Stanley Batton had never expected this outcome. Sometimes, life worked in strange ways such that you would not even believe some coincidences were possible.

“That’s right. She is the wife you have never met despite being married. I received that piece of information during your meeting earlier. I was going to tell you when you came out,” Zack added.

“Hmm…” The man smirked while his eyes narrowed slightly.

“So, is there anything I can do for you now?” Zack asked.

“Not for the time being.” Stanley lowered his head and played with the silver ring on his right index finger.

“Well then… Fifth Master, your tasks in the morning are all done. What about I send you back home to rest? Your injuries have not recovered yet.”

Stanley was someone Zack respected the most as his boss.

Despite being severely injured, Stanley still refused to rest.

After injecting himself with painkillers, Stanley showed up to work and even seemed like a normal person on the outside.
