Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 126

The affectionate interactions between a handsome man and a beautiful woman made everyone envious.

Without having to do anything, they had attracted everyone's attention just like that.

Looking at how compatible both of them were, Jeremy was delighted.

The stuffiness in his heart had immediately faded away.

His eyes were filled with approval as he looked at them.

Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt.

Just then, Stanley's phone vibrated.

Upon seeing the words 'Zack Cassidy', he grabbed his phone and strode out of the ballroom, attracting countless gazes of adoration on the way out.

However, the man remained apathetic like there was no one around him at all.

After exiting the door, he leaned against the window and answered the call.

"Fifth Master, I have a few documents that require your attention."

"Send it to my email," Stanley answered coldly before swiftly hanging up and placing the phone back into the inside pocket of his suit. Just then, Tom came over.

He stopped in front of Stanley and said, sounding unpleasant, "Stanley Batton, was it? Let's chat."

Stanley did not reply but mildly raised his eyebrows, staring indifferently at him, waiting for him to speak.

His heavy and pressuring aura made Tom inadvertently gasp.

Before him, this man was clearly just an average doctor, so why did he possess an aura so overpowering like that of a monarch's?

He had obviously said nothing but just a glance was enough to make a person grow fearful.

"To be honest, have you actually thought that your identity might not suit Xyla?" Tom went straight into the subject with a hostile expression. "So?" Stanley cocked up an eyebrow before tidying his coat.

"I'm sure you've heard of my past with Xyla, haven't you? She used to love me to death.

"She had even donated a kidney to my mother for my sake.

"In fact, I have the intention of courting her again. As long as she's willing to return, I can divorce Emily for her sake.

"So, I hope that you will be smart and remove yourself from this love-triangle. I can compensate you. Just name your price."

Tom sounded overbearing, completely different from his usual elegant image. He spoke coldly, blatantly exposing his possessiveness for Xyla. He would snatch Xyla back no matter the cost or the consequences.

He could not tolerate the woman he loved ignoring him, nor could he tolerate having his beloved become so coquettish in the arms of another. Stanley spoke coldly, "Dream on."

His entire being instantly emitted a frightening chill.

"What did you say? Do you know that no one has ever dared to speak to me like that?" Tom's expression darkened.

He was already annoyed by Stanley, and now this man was frustrating him even further.

If there weren't so many people inside, Tom wanted to punch this man so hard.

How could an average doctor who was not from an aristocratic family afford to be so cocky?

"And no one has ever dared to speak to me like this as well," Stanley responded coldly, his expression becoming hostile.

"Stanley Batton, don't choose punishment over reward. I can make it so that you won't be able to make a living in this country." "Bring it on."
