Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 308

The voice belonged to Cindy Snyder, a girl who sat next to Xyla Quest when they were in their third year of high school.

"Cindy Snyder?" Xyla asked doubtfully. There was a look of disbelief in her eyes.

The two of them sat next to each other in their third year in high school. Back then, they were extremely good friends. After they graduated, Cindy had gone abroad to study, and they rarely spoke to each other since.

After Tom Sullivan betrayed Xyla, she had cut off all contact with her friends and family and gone to America alone. Ever since then, Xyla and Cindy had become completely out of touch.

"It's me... Xyla, do you remember me? I'm organizing a high school reunion in seven days at the Hilton Hotel. Will you come, please? I've done what I could on my own to invite all our classmates from Class A... If you don't show up, it won't be perfect." Cindy's voice was as gentle and pleasant as ever.

"Sure," Xyla agreed right away.

After they graduated from high school, Xyla's classmates had all gone their separate ways.

Xyla wanted to meet them and see how they were doing now. Indeed, she had fond memories of them studying hard together to prepare for the high school examinations.

"Okay... I'll send you the location and the exact time later. You must show up," Cindy said.

"Got it," Xyla said.

"I heard you got married. Since family members are allowed to come along to the gathering, bring your husband with you so we can get to know him," Cindy said. "Okay," Xyla said.

Xyla chatted with Cindy for a while before hanging up.

"Is dinner ready?" Xyla asked.

"Yeah," Stanley answered.

"Great! I'm starving," Xyla said and stood up joyfully. After stretching a little, Xyla went with Stanley to wash their hands before entering the dining room.

When Xyla saw the table full of delicious food, she could not resist raising her thumbs at Stanley.

"Not bad. Thank you for your hard work," Xyla said.

"As long as you like the food," Stanley said.

Xyla sat down and took a closer look at each dish. She liked all of them.

"Of course, I like them. These are all my favorite dishes. How could I not like them?" Xyla said.

Stanley did not say anything. He poured her a glass of red wine in silence.

“There's a reunion with my high school classmates in seven days. Can you come with me?" Xyla gently swirled the wine in the glass as she pressed onto its base with her right hand. "Sure," Stanley murmured.

Georgie Clementine was having lunch with her parents at her home when she got a call from Fred Thomson, a well-known director, inviting her out to discuss something.

Some days ago, she heard that Fred was preparing for a Qing dynasty drama based on a famous IP-type story. A well-known actor, Kenny Wonders, had been selected as the male lead. Most of the important supporting actors were veteran actors. However, the female lead was not selected yet.

Hence, Georgie took the initiative to recommend a few more capable female actresses from X Entertainment to him.

Now, Fred had taken the initiative to call Georgie. She figured he probably wanted to use one of the actresses she had recommended.

The script, being an adaptation of a famous IP-type story, certainly had its own fan base. On top of that, Kenny Wonders and many veteran actors were starring in the drama, which meant it would receive a lot of attention.

It was a drama that became popular before it was even filmed. If a female actress from X Entertainment could become the female lead, she would certainly become famous.

Fred had a very strong background. Many influential bosses in the entertainment industry treated him with great respect, and so did television stations.

Hence, if it were his drama, it would receive a high rating. Moreover, it would be aired during the prime time of winter and summer breaks.
