Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1738

Stanley Batton didn't say anything unnecessary.

He didn't even allow his gaze to linger.

Soon, the bodyguards in front of him surrounded Cindy and forcefully lifted her. They then walked out of Stanley's line of sight...

Despite Cindy Dunn's struggles, it was of no help.

There were many people in the mall...

Everyone was looking at her.

The mocking looks and smirks on their faces were like knives that stabbed deep into her heart.

She felt painfully humiliated...

Right then, she wished she could hide in a hole and never come out.

Cindy was good-looking and seductive.

Whenever she took the initiative, men would fall for her. So why was Stanley an exception?

Wasn't there a saying that the grass was always greener on the other side?

Although Xyla Quest was pretty, she was Stanley's wife.

Wouldn't Stanley have gotten bored of her?

Stanley should've wanted to cheat on her with another woman.

Why didn't Cindy's plan work on Stanley?

In the beginning, Cindy thought that men only chose not to cheat because the temptations in the outside world weren't great enough...

She always felt that women who tried to seduce Stanley simply weren't as good as her.

But now, she realized she had been gravely mistaken...

Even seductive women like herself couldn't bend Stanley's undying love for Xyla.

Cindy was consumed with jealousy.

She and Xyla were both women. So why was Xyla able to get such a good man? Why?

After Cindy was dragged away, Stanley walked out of the mall.

He then got into his black Rolls-Royce.

Outside, the northerly winds blew, and snow poured from the sky.

It was chillingly cold.

However, inside the car, it felt as warm as summer.

The temperature was up to thirty degrees.

Stanley very soon forgot about the minor interlude from a while ago.

He smiled a little as he texted Xyla on WeChat to inform her what he'd bought for her.

He described each item in detail.

However, Xyla didn't reply to his messages.

Stanley stared at the screen for several minutes.

Even after the entourage of cars had started moving, there was still no reply from Xyla.

Stanley felt a little worried.

He immediately called Xyla on the phone...

However, Xyla still didn't respond at all.

After the failed attempt, Stanley called Xyla several times more.

However, nobody picked up.

Stanley began to feel a little restless.

He immediately called the security manager responsible for Xyla's safety at all times.

The reply he received was that Xyla was in the house.

When Stanley heard this, he immediately stopped worrying.

He guessed that Xyla probably fell asleep in the house.

Hence, he hung up the phone feeling relieved.

***

At midnight, Stanley arrived home.

The lights in the bedroom were turned off, but the lights in other areas of the house were all left on...
