Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1418

Xyla Quest gently patted her face as she looked at Stanley Batton's face through the spotless mirror. "What is it?" she asked. "Let's not go out today..." There was an affectionate look in his eyes.

Xyla immediately knew what Stanley had on his mind. She rolled her eyes at him. "Don't even think about it..." Xyla said.

When Xyla saw Stanley remaining silent, she rolled her eyes at him again. "Do you know what this is all about?" Xyla asked. Stanley smiled before looking at Xyla excitedly.

"This is how a man behaves when he has gotten addicted to have sex with a woman..." Xyla cut to the chase.

Stanley thought deeply for a few seconds. "Hmm, I think you're right."

"Are you not even going to deny it?" Xyla asked.

"There's no reason why I should deny it..." Stanley said.

Xyla was speechless.

"Ever since we met, I think I understand how those foolish kings in ancient times feel..." Stanley said.

"What do you mean?" Xyla looked at Stanley curiously.

"If queens in ancient times were as beautiful as you, I'd be willing to conquer kingdoms for them too... Perhaps... I might never wake up early again..." Stanley said.

His words seemed to have struck Xyla's heart with an electric jolt...

Xyla felt a numbing and warm sensation in a specific area within her chest.

"Oh, right... It's Dad's birthday tomorrow. Mom's planning a birthday party for him tomorrow at eight o'clock. So free up your time tomorrow evening..." Stanley changed the topic.

Xyla nodded decisively. After that, she slowly opened the container of Wintersweet Haute Couture Mask and carefully smeared it over her face. "Hmm... Okay."

Xyla's mother-in-law, Sharon Lindt, had told her about this on WeChat a few days ago.

Hence, Xyla was prepared long ago.

She ordered a new gown from overseas that would be arriving at dusk today...

Meanwhile, Xyla had also prepared a birthday gift long ago.

"Some of the family's acquaintances and relatives will be there... Coincidentally, you haven't met many of my relatives. So this will be a good opportunity for you to meet them..." Stanley said. "Your older siblings... Will they be back this time?" Xyla asked.

Xyla still felt curious about Stanley's older siblings...

During Dragon Group's seventieth anniversary celebration, Stanley mentioned that they would come.

However, Xyla didn't see them then.

"I don't know... They're all busy. I can only be sure that Catherine and Josh will be there..." Stanley said. "Oh," Xyla replied.

***

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed...

Xyla got off work early in the afternoon.

After leaving the office, she went for a full-body beautifying treatment.

After that, she went to a famous styling studio in Atlantis to get her makeup and hairstyle done.

To complement her dress, Xyla chose a more light and fresh style of makeup. Meanwhile, her hair was straightened and draped behind her.

By the time her hairstyle and makeup were complete, her custom-made gown had arrived.

Once Xyla received the message, she returned home right away to pick up the delivery. After that, she entered the closet and changed into the gown she bought... Chanel's leading designer specifically designed this gown for Xyla.

This was a champagne-colored, backless dress.

The gown was made of champagne-colored, star-embedded veils. It clung tightly to Xyla's upper body, but the hemline was long, and it had a very long train... The flowy material made Xyla appear unusually gentle and beautiful.
