Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 512

Scanning the restaurant, Tom Sullivan managed to catch sight of Xyla Quest in no time. Without hesitation, he headed straight for the window where Xyla was standing.

Xyla, who had already noticed Tom, whispered into her phone. "I'll get back to you later, Georgie..."

Following that statement, Xyla hung up the phone and directly headed back to the private room with a light scowl as she walked.

However, Tom grabbed Xyla's arm when she passed by him, stopping her from walking further.

Even if it was just a slight contact with him, Xyla felt extremely disgusted by it.

"What do you want?" she asked cold-heartedly.

"Xyla, let's have a chat..." Tom added, "I apologize to you for everything I've done previously... I behaved that way because I thought you orchestrated all the terrible things that happened to my family and me. I did that in the heat of the moment.

"After all, I've got my punishment too. Can you forgive me now?" Tom blurted out everything that was on his mind, "I have hurt you, and you have hurt me as well. Let's just forget everything, and we're even- steven.

"Yes, I know. I know you sent those girls to me, instructing them to do that kind of thing to me. I've decided to drop the whole thing since I'm fine now. I think I deserve it, too." Tom's face was full of sincerity. Though Xyla managed to maintain calmness and indifference on the outside, she was dumbfounded by his words inwardly. "What are you trying to say?"

"What do you mean by what I'm trying to say? You don't have to play dumb, Xyla. Before this, Stanley Batton has gotten me into a hotel to be raped by so many ugly women... I know you're behind the incident as well," complained Tom.

Xyla was even more shocked now.

No wonder Tom suddenly suffered from psychological problems and was repulsed by women for a period.

This was the actual reason?

She had never imagined Stanley would avenge her like that. Quietly and without her realization, he helped her teach Tom a lesson, a harsh lesson indeed.

"Xyla, let's just forget about our past and start over, okay? In fact, I accompanied Emily Quest here today because of you." His utter eagerness was reflected in his eyes.

Nevertheless, as Xyla looked at his face and heard the words coming from his mouth, Xyla could feel nothing else but disgust.

So, he came today because he had not given up on her.

Pfft.

Xyla fiercely shrugged off Tom's hand right away and snorted coldly. "Well, I'm enjoying my life with my husband right now. What makes you think that I'll start over with you? Besides, my husband is much better than you in every way. Why should I dump him for you?

"On the contrary, I would like to thank you, Tom Sullivan. Thanks for taking me for granted and kicking me away. I wouldn't have met such a good husband now if it wasn't because of you." With that out of the way, Xyla turned away from him and hurried off to the room.

Panicked by Xyla's reaction, Tom immediately grabbed her wrist as tightly as possible and stood in front of her, blocking her way. "What's so good about your husband? Yes, he's good-looking, and he might be very nice to you. But, what else does he have besides those? Look at my family's background and everything I have. He's no match for me."

"Oh really?" Xyla sneered in response.

Was Stanley no match for Tom?

What was the Sullivan family to Dragon Group? They were merely a speck of dust compared to Dragon Group.

Without saying anything else, Xyla frowned slightly once more and wrestled him over her shoulder and threw him over to a group of people behind her without warning. It was a clean, sharp move. With that throw, Xyla freed herself from his grip.

Pain flooded his soul in no time, leaving him in agony. Tom curled up on the ground and could not rise to his feet due to the sudden and severe pain spreading across his body.

He looked battered and miserable.

Xyla glanced at him coldly as she began to speak apathetically, "Stop wasting your time. I'm not interested in you anymore."

At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open again.

Shortly after, Stanley Batton found himself walking out of the private room.

A tinge of admiration and adoration flashed in his eyes as soon as he saw the scene unfold before him.

Trying with all his might, Tom tried to get up from the ground and patted his clothes to get rid of the dirt. When he saw Stanley in the aisle, he bit his tongue, and all the words he was going to say were stuck in his throat.

Just like Xyla, Stanley was glaring at him coldly too. Without paying any heed to that pathetic man, Stanley made his way to Xyla's side. "Honey, what are you doing here?"

A gentle smile blossomed on Xyla's face as she held onto Stanley's arm. She stared deep at his stunning face and said, "I'm just dealing with a piece of trash, nothing much."
