Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 155

Stanley shot them a glare before looking at Xyla and saying, "What a coincidence."

"Yeah," she replied.

"Old Fifth, aren't you supposed to officially introduce Sister-in-law to us?" asked Sebastian.

Xyla immediately blushed and explained out of reflex, "Don't you guys misunderstand. I'm not his girlfriend. We're just friends."

What had Five Batton told them about her? Why was he calling her Sister-in-law?

Sebastian was still smiling. "Yeah, it's true that you're not his girlfriend, but you're..." He turned to Stanley and gave him a mischievous smile.

Stanley simply shot him an ice-cold glare. "Do you have a death wish?"

Feeling a chill down his spine, Sebastian shut up at once, not daring to say another word.

Henry gave Stanley a meaningful look before smiling at Xyla and greeting her, "Hi, I'm a good friend of Old Fifth's, Henry Armstrong. No matter what relationship you have with Old Fifth, I'm still pleased to meet you."

Xyla took the initiative to shake hands with him, showing generosity. "Hello, I'm Xyla Quest."

Henry shook her hand, behaving appropriately.

"I'm Sebastian Brenand, also a good friend of Old Fifth's. I'm really sorry for tripping you back then. I hope you can forgive me. What I did the last time was akin to a fart that I didn't manage to hold in," said Sebastian in a serious tone.

Xyla was instantly amused by him. Laughing, she extended her hand to him. "Hello. You were just teasing me back then, so I understand."

Sebastian started spouting flattery, "As expected of a goddess. She's more forgiving than regular people."

"Don't say that, I'm getting shy," said Xyla.

Gary extended his hand to Xyla, giving her a reserved smile. "Hello, I'm Gary Lakes, also a good friend of Old Fifth's."

Xyla shook his hand. "Hello."

With that, they were all officially acquainted.

"Are you guys about to leave?" asked Xyla, glancing at Stanley, then at his buddies behind him.

"We were going to. But if you want to have fun with us, we can stay. Miss Quest, shall we have a dance on the dance floor?" Henry abruptly answered, behaving a little too friendly. Stanley turned to shoot him a glare. "Stop fooling around."

Henry immediately shut up. That simple gesture further affirmed Five Batton's status among his friends. As they were a group of handsome men, they attracted quite a lot of attention from the beauties around when they stood together.

Looking at his friends, Stanley coldly ordered, "Go outside and wait for me."

The others quickly smiled and waved at Xyla before hastily making their way outside.

"Is your arm better?" asked Xyla.

Stanley mildly shifted his left elbow. At once, he could feel a tiny stinging pain spread into his body. Nevertheless, having followed her instructions on how to take care of it for a few days, his elbow now felt a lot better.

"Yeah, it got a lot better," he replied casually.

"That's good then. Right, don't forget dinner at my place tomorrow. Remember to bring presents. I'll send you a WeChat message on what my dad likes and also transfer you the money for the presents," Xyla added.

"Sure."

"Remember to dress up nicely," Xyla added again.

After saying that, she realized that her words were a little too excessive. When had he ever not dressed nicely? His outfit coordination and looks always seemed perfect, and paired with that heavenly face, he always looked nice.

"Okay," he said.

As the two chatted, they once again attracted a lot of attention from girls passing by. Their eyes seemed to be glued onto Stanley.
