Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1479

This class reunion made Annabeth Cates realize on a deep level how easily people changed.

Annabeth followed Josh Batton to his white Ferrari.

She sat in the passenger seat while Josh sat in the driver's seat.

In the car, it was dark and quiet.

The light from a nearby street light shone upon Josh's face, clearly accentuating his distinct jawline in the dark...

"Josh... Thank you for everything you did for me today," Annabeth said earnestly as she looked at Josh's attractive side profile.

"You're welcome," Josh said.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to our CEO and suggest that you become my manager..." Josh added.

When Annabeth heard this, she felt even more shocked...

At first, she thought Josh had only said it to fool everyone.

Was he serious?

Why was Josh doing this?

Was it because they slept together?

"If it's because we slept together, you don't have to do it..." Annabeth looked at Josh and said earnestly.

"I told you not to care about that thing. Besides, you've done enough for me since that thing happened..." Annabeth said.

Josh had already given her a house, a car and even boosted her reputation during her class reunion...

Annabeth didn't want to get any more stuff from Josh.

"No... I've already decided on this before this thing happened... I wanted to vouch for you not because anything happened between us. It's because you are terrific," Josh said. "Really?" Annabeth had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"I wouldn't lie to you," Josh said truthfully.

"If that's the case, I'll accept it, and I'll even thank you... If it isn't, I want to refuse..." Annabeth said.

"Believe me, alright?" Josh said with a serious look in his eyes.

"Are you being serious?" Annabeth asked curiously.

However, it was too dark for her to read Josh's facial expression.

"I told you. I wouldn't lie to you..." Josh repeated.

"Fine. I believe you." Annabeth nodded gently.

"Where shall we go?" Josh asked.

"Back to my house..." Annabeth said.

"Okay..."

." Josh answered softly.

After that, Josh became quiet. Then, he turned on the engine and steered the car into traffic.

Annabeth also stopped speaking. Instead, she silently leaned into her seat and closed her eyes to rest.

The class reunion sure made her feel exhausted.

Things really were different after growing up...

When she was younger, everyone would only talk about studying, who hated someone in class, and who was handsome in the next class whenever they grouped up together. However, after everyone had grown up, they couldn't stop talking about money, career, and other materialistic things like these.

If one did well in life, one would naturally be popular during class reunions.

If one didn't do well in life, one would naturally be ignored during class reunions...

Meanwhile, in a brightly lit bathroom, Xyla Quest kneeled in front of the toilet. She had nearly vomited her guts out...

Her beautiful face was completely red.

Stanley Batton kneeled on one leg next to her the whole time as he carefully and gently patted her back.

Stanley had a concerned and heartbroken look in his eyes.
