Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 447

Stanley felt the corners of his lips curve into a faint smile. "Xyla you fool... That's my blood-related sister."

On the other side of the line, Xyla Quest froze for a brief moment.

"...What? Sister?"

"Who else could she be? You and my sister are the only ones who I ever behave kindly toward," Stanley chuckled, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Xyla's heart was suddenly at ease with just that simple explanation.

"She's just returned from overseas a few days ago. We went shopping that day and had a meal together. I only have one sister and she rarely returns so it was normal for me to want to visit her while she was here."

Xyla continued to be speechless. The heavy chains that had been binding her heart for the past few days were quickly disintegrating.

Slowly, she felt her breath return to her.

So when they were eating together that day, it was his sister calling? He had just been accompanying his sister all this time and she wasn't his girlfriend?

How did such a major misunderstanding happen?!

In the next few seconds, Xyla could feel a smile forming on her lips.

Thinking back, if she was his little sister, why did he save her contact name as 'Little Darling' on his phone?

He definitely wasn't the kind of person to do that willingly.

Which meant that his sister must most definitely have saved the contact on his phone and refused to let him change it. Since he cared for her as much as he cared for Xyla, he must have simply went with it. He was such a loving brother.

"I never knew you had a sister," Xyla said.

"There wasn't a real reason to bring her up since you've never asked," replied Stanley.

"I see. I'll clear up the mess for us then."

"Alright. I still have some things to attend to at work, so we'll talk about it when I get back home tonight."

"Alright."

Upon ending the call, Xyla could not help but to jump with joy.

Knock, knock...

Knocks on her door interrupted her happiness.

"Please come in," Xyla said as she continued to hold her cell phone close to her heart in glee.

Georgie Clementine burst through the door. Seeing Xyla filled with smiles, she assumed that she had not seen the news. Georgie took in a deep breath before sitting by her side. "You... Haven't heard the news, have you?"

"I have. She's not his girlfriend, Georgie."

"...Huh?"

"She's his blood-related sister," Xyla explained.

"Wait... So... It was all just a misunderstanding? You and the reporters misunderstood who she was?"

"Hmm..." Xyla simply nodded.

Georgie went silent for a moment before putting on a serious face. “...President Xyla, even if he doesn't have a girlfriend like you thought he did... Both of you are still incompatible with each other, I hope you haven't forgotten about that..."

Georgie gulped as she waited for it to hit Xyla. Her gleefulness would definitely be dampened.

Georgie was right. Xyla's smile faded almost instantaneously.

Her words drenched Xyla's joy like a bucket of icy cold water. It completely put out the warmth she had in her heart just seconds ago.

As Xyla's senses came back to her, she sighed. It was true. They weren't meant for each other.

Even if she ignored the fact that they were on completely different paths, she was still engaged. Though she had not met her husband, that person was still her husband.

In the beginning, she obviously had ample self-control. However, she allowed herself to lower her defenses and now she barely had any control of her emotions left.

Sifu would definitely be let down if she continued to do this.

Guilt spread like wildfire in her heart and her mood plummeted.

Georgie looked into her eyes. She knew what Xyla was thinking and she knew no more needed to be said. She patted her shoulder gently before turning around to leave. There were a lot of things that she hoped Xyla would eventually come to understand on her own. Georgie believed that Xyla could definitely figure them out by herself.
