Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 353
Everyone immediately swarmed around Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton in a circle.
Many of them began to pull them aside to chat with them. While some commented on how Xyla had changed, others complimented Stanley for his good looks. Suddenly, they became the center of attention. When Gigi Graham saw this, she started feeling unhappy.
Originally, she was the center of everyone's attention in the room, but that changed when Xyla showed up. Gigi felt extremely agitated.
After seeing Xyla's face, she felt even more annoyed. How could Xyla become this pretty? While both of them were women, Gigi felt inferior in comparison to Xyla..
Gigi immediately grabbed the man dressed in a suit next to her by his arm and walked up to Xyla and Stanley.
As soon as the man saw Stanley, he froze for a moment before he spoke. "Chief..." He began to speak.
Stanley gave the man a hard look as he nodded, signaling to the man to shut up.
Only then did the man quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head.
Everyone was too busy chatting and joking around at this point to notice these tiny details.
Gigi folded her arms arrogantly across her chest and looked at Xyla with the side-eye. "Xyla Quest, you have become quite good-looking."
After finishing her sentence, Gigi shifted her gaze to Stanley. She looked him up and down before turning to look at Xyla. "Xyla, my father told me that your husband studied Chinese medicine. Is that so?" "Yes," Xyla answered blandly.
"If you were to ask me, Xyla, I must say I really admire you for having the courage to marry a man without any career foundations," Gigi said before turning to look at Stanley. "You must appreciate Xyla. There aren't many foolish girls like her these days," she added.
"Oh, hey, look at me. I was so focused on talking to you guys that I forgot to introduce my husband. This is my husband, William Jones, vice president of Dragon Group's headquarters in the country, one of the most trusted individuals of Dragon Group's heir... Apart from working at Dragon Group, he also invests his money. He really does make a lot of money. The amount of money he earns in a month with his investments might even exceed some small companies' annual profits," Gigi said as she held onto her husband's arm proudly.
How could Xyla Quest not understand why Gigi Graham was doing this?
In the beginning, Gigi was undoubtedly trying to point out with her weird tone that Stanley did not have a business of his own.
After that, Gigi said things to show off how well her husband was doing, and she was also trying to compare her husband to Xyla's husband so that the latter would feel inferior.
After not seeing each other for so many years, Xyla didn't expect Gigi to be the same as she was during high school. Gigi was still the same tactless person who liked to make fun of others and make herself seem superior in comparison. Regardless of the time and place, she always wanted to be the center of attention.
As Xyla listened to Gigi and looked at her face, she felt extremely unhappy.
William Jones instantly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead before using his wrist to nudge Gigi. "Shut up, you. Keep a low profile..." He warned in a lowered voice.
Gigi, however, completely ignored him and shifted her gaze to Stanley's face once again. "Actually, I don't think there's any future in studying Chinese medicine. You might as well become a high-level executive in a group. While managing the group, you can also make investments with your salary. Wouldn't that be nice?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Stanley lifted his gaze and looked at William coldly.
"No, no," William said as he immediately shuddered.
However, Gigi snorted coldly right away.
"Honey, why are you so humble in front of our good friends? Why don't you talk to Xyla's husband nicely and teach him how to earn a lot of money as you do? Otherwise, how would he be able to look after Xyla, who comes from an affluent family?" Gigi said.
"You don't have to worry about what my husband does. Compared to working for other people, my husband prefers running his hospital," Xyla retorted as she held onto Stanley's hand tightly.
