Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1434

On the other hand, Catherine Batton stayed up all night to play on her own.

After that, when she became exhausted, she took a shower and set the alarm for two o'clock in the afternoon...

She set the alarm for this particular time to make it to the League of Legends' celebrity talent competition...

Recently, she'd become addicted to League of Legends. Hence, she also became addicted to everything related to League of Legends.

Even if it were the celebrity's talent competition, she didn't want to miss it.

***

As soon as Xyla Quest opened her eyes the following day, she received a call from an employee at Goose eSports. Xyla was asked to participate in League of Legends' ninth-anniversary celebrity talent competition.

Moreover, Xyla was told that the company couldn't replace anyone else under such short notice.

The young lady who called sounded very sincere. It also sounded as if she was close to tears from panicking...

As soon as Xyla heard what was said, she decisively agreed to the request.

Firstly, it was because the caller was very sincere, and she sounded very pitiful. Secondly, it was also because Xyla was genuinely passionate about League of Legends.

There was an even more important reason. Xyla also wanted to promote Team XS and her own company.

After hanging up, Xyla saw that the time was seven o'clock in the morning...

She immediately reviewed her schedule for the day in her mind.

Xyla didn't have much to do today anyway. She only needed to attend a meeting at Quest Group in the morning.

As for the celebrity talent competition, the young lady who called told her that she didn't need to rehearse in advance. The competition was only going to be entertaining in nature. Hence, there wasn't much Xyla needed to prepare for...

When the time came, she'd only have to carry out her skincare routine, get facial treatment, and get her makeup done before showing up fashionably.

After slowly putting her phone down, Xyla got out of bed to clean herself up.

Right then, a pair of large, warm hands pulled her into a warm embrace.

Xyla felt as if her heart had risen to her throat instantly.

"Stop torturing me..." Xyla said carefully.

Last night, Stanley Batton had spared Xyla for no reason...

Xyla had a feeling that she wouldn't be so lucky in the morning!

As soon as Xyla finished speaking, she heard a soft chuckle from above her head...

"What are you laughing at?" Xyla asked.

"I'm laughing at you. Each time, you're the one who says no, but you're also the one who says not to stop..." Stanley said.

When Xyla heard this, her entire face turned red...

"That... That's only because..." Xyla uttered.

"Because of what?" Stanley asked.

"Never mind! I don't want to talk about it!" Xyla glared at Stanley angrily.

'Don't you know the answer already?' Xyla thought.

"Tell me... Because of what? Hmm?" Stanley asked affectionately.

"Shut up..." Xyla said.

"Alright... Why don't you think of a way to make me shut up... Hmm?" Stanley asked.

"You..." In the next second, Xyla couldn't replace the words to speak anymore...

They started messing around again...

The world turned dim.

By noon, Xyla finally crawled out of bed lazily.

Right then, she felt like a plush doll that had been ripped apart...

When she sat up, her entire body felt terrible.

Xyla turned around to look at the person beside her. Right then, he was calmly sitting against the head of the bed as he smoked. Smoke swirled around his distinctive fingers, making him appear sexier...

His muscular chest was full of scratch marks. It made him appear cold yet desirable.

At that moment, Xyla felt even more resentful in her heart.

"Stanley Batton... I hate you..." Xyla said.

"Didn't you say you like me a lot earlier?" Stanley asked.

Xyla's face turned extremely red once again...

In the next second, Xyla forcefully kicked Stanley's thigh. After that, she wrapped herself in a towel and entered the bathroom.

Having messed around until this hour, Xyla was clearly unable to make it to the office in time.
