Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1892

Gary Lakes briefly perused Sophie Kenwick up and down.

He then chuckled. "Hmm, she is not my girlfriend."

"But she said she'd get her boyfriend to teach me a lesson. Wasn't she talking about you?" Sophie asked.

He smiled. There was a look in his eyes that was difficult to read. "She's the only one who thinks so."

She winked knowingly. "Oh? Does that mean it's all in her head?"

Gary studied her thoughtfully for a few seconds. "Sometimes, sleeping together doesn't mean two people become a couple."

Sophie nodded slowly before scratching her head. "In the words of people in your era, does it mean that although everyone wants everlasting love, we all live in a time when even sleeping together doesn't mean love can last for a long time?"

Gary's smile gradually widened after hearing what she said.

"Yeah, that's what it means. But what do you mean by people in our era? Are you from an ancient past?" He grinned from ear to ear.

Sophie started to nod but then worried that he might be afraid or think she was a lunatic, so she hastily shook her head instead.

The way she nodded and shook her head was silly and adorable at the same time.

Gary smiled once again. "What kind of reaction was that?"

Sophie also imitated him and thought deeply for a few seconds. "Hmm, it's a normal one."

"You're quite interesting. I had no idea Stanley adopted an adorable girl like you," he told her.

Although Gary and Stanley were close friends, he had only heard about his adopted sister over the news. Sophie chuckled.

At that moment, the woman next to them was petrified.

'Brother?'

'Stanley?'

She had been with Gary for a while now, and she knew he only had one friend named Stanley.

That person was Stanley Batton. Mr. Batton.

Could this girl be Stanley's younger sister?

Was she the one he adopted? The person who made it onto the headlines yesterday?

She felt the urge to slap herself.

When Sophie saw the woman's

shocked expression, she instant a face at her. Content beloaking

The woman didn't even dare to challenge her. Despite feeling

awkward smile on her face,

Sophie couldn't help but shake her head helplessly as she observed the woman's abrupt shift in attitude.

Humans were always fearful of the strong and liked bullying the weak.

When Gary saw Sophie looking at his companion, he glared and called out to her. "Get over here."

The woman immediately stumbled

over to them, her eyes cast down guiltily like a culprit, and started

didn't know she was Stanley's younger sister. If I had known, wouldn't have acted like this.

"I'm truly sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me," she added.

From the way Gary was treating her, she felt that he probably could dump her because of this incident.

Wealthy men like him were naturally cold-hearted and wouldn't take women like her seriously.

It was far too easy for him to dump her because there weren't any feelings involved between them.

They just happened to be seeing each other and having sex, but they didn't love one another at all. However, she didn't want to break up with him over this.
