Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1287

Xyla Quest couldn't forget any of it.

After opening the door, Xyla changed into her white slippers. She then held her phone and walked into the kitchen as she listened to Georgie Clementine on the phone-

"From what I heard, it's kidney cancer... By now, the cancer cells have already spread to her lungs... Moreover, I was told the cancer cells in her body are the kind that's most difficult to treat...

"Unless she replaces suitable replacements for her kidney and lungs within a month, the cancer cells will spread to the rest of her body... When that happens, she won't have a chance," Georgie said each word carefully.

Georgie sounded like her usual, calm self.

"As you said before, her cancer cells are different from Rachel's... Hence, it's impossible for a miracle to happen," Georgie added.

"I see..." Xyla said blandly. She still didn't feel any emotions in her heart.

"This is probably karma. Back then, she had treated you horribly. This is considered her payback," Georgie started speaking through gritted teeth.

"Perhaps..." Xyla said.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Did the contract signing with Cadence Carmichael go well today?" Georgie asked.

"Yeah, we've already signed the contract... This person is straightforward to talk to," Xyla said.

"Georgie, arrange for Sky Entertainment's prized manager, Lana Fey, we have headhunted to be Cadence's manager... Let her look after him and only him..." Xyla added. Lana's capabilities were on par with Georgie.

Previously, the place she worked in, Sky Entertainment, was a terrible company. However, she managed to bring up a lot of celebrities all on her own.

Suddenly, she made Sky Entertainment one of the top entertainment companies from their initially inferior position.

This person had a pair of magical hands.

Any artist whom she worked with would end up as a superstar...

"Alright..." Georgie said.

While speaking, Xyla had already made it to the entrance of the kitchen.

By then, Stanley Batton was wearing a pair of white mitts as he held a steaming white clay pot in one hand and a spoon in the other. He was stirring the boiling ginseng chicken soup in the white clay pot. The nearby French window was opened halfway, and a cool breeze blew into the room along with the scent of greenery from the courtyard...

The scent, mixed with the chicken soup's fragrance, made one feel very at ease.

Stanley wore a white silk loungewear with silver patterns around the collar, the sleeves, and the edges of the pants. The contrast made him look unusually noble.

He also wore a black silk apron over the loungewear.

Even the room filled with fragrant scents of cooking couldn't cover up the man's attractive aura of nobility.

When Xyla saw this, she instantly felt warm on the inside...

She slowly walked up and hugged Stanley from behind. She pressed her face against the cool fabric of Stanley's clothes while she continued speaking with Georgie. "Put more effort into grooming Cadence. He's a good kid..."

"Alright..." Georgie answered decisively.

Right then, Stanley slowly turned around and pulled Xyla into his arms.

His warm breath blew against her earlobe, and a tingling sensation akin to an electric current caused her heart rate and breathing to accelerate.

"Alright, Georgie. I'll talk to you later... I'm hanging up..." Xyla said.

"Okay..." Georgie said.

After hanging up, Xyla reluctantly let go of Stanley with a blushed face. "Why are you making chicken stew at this hour?"

"Mom asked me to. She said that you're having your period and that I should make something nice for you as a supplement...

"She said that you need more nutrients during a special time like this..." Stanley said.

When Xyla heard this, she felt a warmth spread in her heart again. "Why would Mom remember this?"

"I don't know. Someone who can't even remember my university entrance exam actually remembers when your period is here. That's got to be hard for her. Oh, right..." Stanley said. "What is it?" Xyla asked with interest.
