Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1375

Noticing how Annabeth Cates seemed to be lost in a daydream, a curious look appeared in Josh Batton's eyes. "What are you thinking about?"

Annabeth chuckled. "Nothing much..."

"Are you feeling alright?" Josh asked.

"Of course..." Annabeth's smile broadened.

"That's good..." Josh said.

He didn't say anything else. Instead, after putting his phone down, he casually picked up an envelope from the pile of similar envelopes nearby and started reading intently.

At the same time, in the office of X Entertainment's CEO...

Georgie Clementine was carefully going through documents...

She had gotten a new haircut.

Her long, black hair was now curled up and split in a three-to-seven ratio...

The tip of her hair only reached her earlobes. It made her look prim and proper.

Her white body-hugging shirt matching her peach-colored, high-waist pants, and the contrast made her physique extremely attractive.

The intricate makeup on her face also made her facial features appear beautiful.

Buried in work, Georgie had a cold aura about her. She was like a classic female boss.

Beep, beep, beep-

Georgie's phone started ringing. It interrupted her thoughts.

Georgie slowly shifted her gaze to the phone screen next to her.

A series of unknown numbers appeared on the screen.

Georgie immediately picked up the call. While holding the phone with one hand, she continued to flip through a thick stack of documents with the other. "Hello... May I know who's calling...?"

"I'm in Aura Café that's diagonally opposite your office. Come down for a moment... "A woman's incomparably cold voice could be heard.

The woman sounded very familiar. She sounded to be at least in her fifties.

From the tone of her voice, it sounded as if she had a powerful personality. Georgie's instincts told her that this might be Henry Armstrong's mother.

His mother didn't seem to like her at all...

Georgie knew without even pondering why she would call a woman she didn't like.

However, Georgie had already expected this. Hence, she wasn't shocked too much.

"And you are...?" Georgie asked.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Henry's mother... I'll be waiting for you..." Before Georgie could say anything, the woman had hung up. She was ruthless... Georgie felt speechless.

She didn't feel too greatly affected, to be frank.

Instead, she calmly looked at the time on her watch.

After making sure timing wasn't an issue, she quickly took out a clean, black, hand-held makeup mirror from her drawer and checked her face.

Once Georgie was sure her makeup seemed fine, she swiftly grabbed her phone and stormed out of the office.

Although Georgie knew she was going to experience something tumultuous, she remained confident and composed.

She was like the proudest rose in the world.

Georgie took a private lift and quickly made her way to Aura Café that Henry's mother mentioned.

By then, it was already dusk.

Lights were brightly lit in the café. There was a warm, yellow tone that made the entire European-styled world appear unusually bright. Although it was already very late, there were still many people in the café...
