Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 491

Stanley Batton snapped his phone shut and focused on marinating the steak.

On the other hand, Sebastian Brenand and the guys continued teasing Stanley in the group for quite some time before they gradually calmed themselves down and discussed their gathering later in the evening.

In the blink of an eye, the twilight faded to darkness and it was already night-time.

Xyla Quest, who had finished her dinner, returned to her room.

After putting on light makeup, she headed to the cloakroom and picked a black, polka dot knee-length dress, matching it with a snow white suit. Subsequently, she put on wine red stilettos and carried a black Chanel handbag. Satisfied with her own outfit, she left the house and walked to her car.

She began to feel nervous as soon as she got into the car.

While she was starting the car engine, she peeked at the clock and it showed seven o'clock sharp.

This meant she would be meeting her husband in an hour.

Would their negotiation go well today?

Would her husband give her a hard time?

Well, he was not that bad, right?

Never in her life had she worried about these problems. However, they started to pop out in her mind right now and her heart was burdened with terrible anxiety.

When she was about to reverse her car, her eyes caught sight of the man who was dressed in a suit stepping out of her house.

The light from her car's headlamps shone brightly on the man, causing his figure to be particularly clear in the darkness of night.

After tonight, she did not need to hide her feelings for this man anymore. She could finally open up her feelings for him...

Right?

The man was dressed all in black and his hair was styled in a loose, fluffy slicked-back hairstyle, looking exceptionally classy and cool. He was just like the main character from a comic, stunning yet bossy. Meanwhile, Stanley's eyebrows furrowed a little when he saw Xyla's car. Striding forward, he made his way to the driver seat and knocked on the car window.

Xyla lowered the car window shortly after and looked at him. "Are you going out?"

"Yup. I've got plans tonight." Stanley told her before asking, "Where are you going if you're not staying home?"

"I've got plans too. I'm meeting up with someone important..."

"Can you skip the meeting?"

"I don't think so."

"Alright then. Drive safely, okay?" Stanley reminded her in earnest.

"I will." Xyla closed the window and turned the car sharply, finally leaving her house.

As she drove up to the gate, Stanley's black Honda caught up with her.

Soon, the black Honda overtook her...

The gap between the two cars was only a few meters.

However, the Honda managed to drive past the traffic light at the cross-intersection.

Xyla, on the other hand, stopped her car as the traffic light happened to turn red.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Stanley's blank Honda became tinier and gradually disappeared from her line of sight.

As she got closer and closer to the clubhouse, anxiety and guilt began to flood her soul and her heart was racing frantically.

Her palms were glazed with a layer of fine sweat.

The red Maserati finally reached its destination at seven fifty.

It pulled up at the parking space right in front of the clubhouse.

At the same time, the parking lot was filled with cars. It was just like a luxury car show at first glance.

Amongst all the branded cars there, a familiar black Honda caught her eyes...

Her gaze slowly shifted to the car plate. Shock and bewilderment flashed across her eyes when she saw the plate number.

Was this not Five Batton's car? Why would he come to this place?

The building in front of her was one of the most high-class clubhouses in Atlantis. Wealth was not necessarily the requirement you needed to have in order to enter the clubhouse.
