Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 568

"She must be calling to apologize..." Xyla Quest said.

"Yeah. Are you going to forgive her?" Stanley Batton exhaled a puff of smoke before lifting her hand and giving it a gentle peck.

"I'm not keen on forgiving her. She doesn't deserve it," Xyla said nonchalantly.

Xyla knew all too well how the Sullivan family and Bailey Ronson were.

If she forgave Bailey this time, she would definitely do something like this again.

This time, it was clear that Bailey was bent on destroying her. If Xyla let it slide and forgave Bailey, Xyla might just think that something was wrong with her brain.

Bailey had never been an easy person to deal with.

"Okay." Stanley gently pulled Xyla into his embrace with one hand while he held onto his cigarette with the other.

"Forget it. Let's take a shower after you're done smoking. I feel much better now," Xyla added.

"Alright," Stanley said.

After Stanley was done smoking, he carried Xyla into the bathroom to take a shower.

Throughout the process, Stanley didn't let Xyla do a single thing. He took care of everything...

After they were done, Stanley carried her back into the room.

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

Although they had a peaceful night, things were completely different in the Sullivan family's home.

Due to what happened at dinner, Tony Sullivan had already kicked Bailey out of the master bedroom. He insisted they slept in separate rooms because he was disgusted by the sight of Bailey. Bailey, whose body was covered in bruises, lay on the bed in the spare room. Not only did her body ache, but so did her heart. She couldn't sleep all night.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the hacker must have provided her with the wrong information.

She wouldn't let the hacker off the hook so easily!

Bailey immediately picked up her phone and tried to call the hacker. However, the call couldn't even get through...!

From the time she returned from the hospital, she had been trying to call the hacker, but her call didn't go through a single time.

As such, Bailey felt even more confident that the hacker was a liar. The person Emily hired was not reliable at all.

In the room next door, Emily was also alone. Although she had slept on her own for a long time, she still couldn't get used to it.

During quiet nights like this, she always desired Tom Sullivan's warm hugs.

With her eyes wide open, Emily couldn't help but recall how Xyla was the center of attention during dinner. The feelings of jealousy and loneliness made it impossible for Emily to fall asleep. After laying in bed for a long time, Emily sat up and looked for the hacker's number from her phone before trying to call him.

Her call couldn't get through.

Emily began to suspect that this person had intentionally lied to her to cheat money from her. Meanwhile, Henry had also purposely set things up to scam her money. Otherwise, why would he provide such made-up information?

The next morning, when Xyla opened her eyes, Stanley still had his arms around her.

The thing that brought the most joy to Xyla was waking up to Stanley's face.

Even with his eyes closed, Stanley still seemed like the most handsome man in the world.

Xyla couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose.

Very quickly, Stanley opened his eyes. He flipped over, pressed his body against hers, and held her face in his hands. "What are you doing? Hmm? Do you want to do it again?"

Xyla immediately pushed him away with her hands on his chest. "What nonsense are you saying? Can't I just touch you because I think you look good?" Xyla asked.

"Sure. You can touch anywhere you like. All of me belongs to you. Perhaps, you would like to touch more private places. That's fine too," Stanley said.

Xyla instantly blushed after hearing what he said, and her heart rate began to increase.

"Shameless!" Xyla cursed softly.

"What would you like for breakfast?" Stanley asked with a chuckle.

Xyla thought about it intently. "I want sunny-side-ups and a ham sandwich. Oh yeah, I want a fruit salad too."

"Okay. I'll make those for you," Stanley said.

"Thank you, darling," Xyla said.

"Is saying 'thank you' all I'm getting?" Stanley smiled with a hint of mischief his eyes.

Xyla immediately gave him a gentle peck on the cheek. "Will this do?"
