Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1369

"Josh... Did you intentionally leave the film crew behind that day and rushed back because of... Me?" Xyla Quest asked carefully.

Josh Batton did think that Xyla might come and ask him, but he didn't think she'd ask so directly...

Josh instantly cocked his right brow. "No..." He answered without hesitation.

When Xyla heard this, she felt greatly relieved. "Is that so?"

"I don't like you anymore... You don't need to feel any pressure..." Josh said.

Josh had prepared this speech long ago...

Having feelings for Xyla was his issue.

He didn't want his feelings for her to cause Xyla any emotional burden.

"Really? In that case, why did you hurry back that day?" Xyla asked.

"That's because I suddenly remembered something important... Don't misunderstand... It really wasn't because of you... I only went to see you because it was actually on the way..." Josh laughed bitterly.

When Xyla heard this on the other end of the call, she immediately let out a long sigh...

Josh had answered in a very clear-cut manner. He didn't sound like he was lying at all...

Perhaps, it was all just a coincidence.

"Hmm... That's good..." Xyla added.

"Don't come up with weird ideas... Alright?" Josh said.

"Okay," Xyla replied.

Josh didn't tell Xyla what the important thing was.

Xyla wasn't planning to ask either.

"Sister-in-law... There's someone else I like. Be with my brother and have a good life together... Something like that won't happen again..." Josh added.

Josh knew that Xyla would still think silly thoughts if he didn't say this.

Hence, he had to do it...

Xyla was a little shocked to hear this. "Really? What kind of girl is she?"

"I'm still trying to get with her... You'll replace out once I have succeeded," Josh said.

Xyla immediately understood.

She thought that he must have suddenly returned that day because of that girl.

"I came back for her that day... However, something like this won't happen a second time... She had a fever that day. I got worried..." Josh said. "Alright," Xyla said decisively.

"Don't worry. It won't affect my career. I won't let anyone replace out... It won't affect the company," Josh said.

"Hmm. I'm not worried when you're in charge..." Xyla smiled gladly.

Initially, Xyla still half-doubted what Josh said.

Now that she knew that he liked someone else, she bought it completely...

"Hmm... How are your injuries?" Josh asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Xyla turned around, walked over to a mirror in front of her desk, and checked her reflection.

It was apparent Xyla had light makeup on. All the scars on her body had disappeared completely. She seemed very energetic and lively.

"Hmm, it's all healed... Grandpa's medicines are really effective," Xyla said.

"Don't tell my parents and others about this... I'll tell them when I get with her..." Josh added.

It'd be very simple if nobody else found out about his life.

When the time came, Josh would tell Xyla that he failed to get with that girl...

However, if other people found out, especially his mother, things would get troublesome.
