Semua Bab Revenge of the Hideous Lady: Bab 261 - Bab 270

“Why wouldn’t there be? Don’t you have tons of them around you? What’s so good about a married woman like me?” said Xyla, maintaining her kind and polite smile the entire time. The passion in Josh’s eyes grew deeper. “Then, why don’t I see them? I think you’re the best. Since you’ve already planned to get a divorce, why not leave me a spot? Once you’re divorced, I can fill it.” “I always thought of you as a business partner, a friend.” “Then, you can stop thinking of me as a friend. Treating me as a backup works too.” It was hard to imagine that this person who was worshipped by countless people like a precious star would actually say something like wanting to become a backup option. This man was Josh Batton. The unattainable star in many young girls’ hearts. However, Xyla did not waver. “I don’t have a habit of keeping backups. Josh Batton, you’re a great and excellent person. Listen to me and look ahead. Keep your options open.” “I will wait for you.” Josh was reluctant

Both appearances could destroy cities, but they were of different types. One was so handsome that he had a strong, pressuring aura, while the other was so handsome that he seemed completely harmless. One was apathetic and aloof, the other was warm and pure. “Why are you here? You got them to bring me over urgently, what for?” Josh was a tad annoyed. How could Stanley do this? The man forcefully interrupted Josh’s date, ignored everything else, and simply got someone to drag him out of the restaurant. “Why did you ignore Zack’s calls?” Stanley took a long draw of his cigarette before slowly breathing it out. Under the haze of smoke, unreadable emotions surged behind his dark eyes. “I didn’t turn on my phone during work. I saw the missed calls after work, but because I had more important business to attend to, I forgot to call him back,” Josh answered honestly. “Your so-called important business was a date with Xyla Quest?” Stanley asked. “...Why do you seem to know my exact

After dinner, Josh drove Xyla home. Throughout the journey, he remained silent with a deep frown on his face. Since it was very dark in the car, Xyla did not notice any changes in his facial expression. When they arrived at the entrance to the Quest family’s villa, the car came to a stable halt. During the meal, Xyla had drunk a bit of red wine. Although she did not think it was a lot at the time, she was beginning to feel the effects kicking in now. Josh drove her all the way to the front of her house. Once the car stopped in front of the main building, Xyla turned around to look at him. “Thank you for sending me home. Get back safely. Goodnight.” Closing the car door behind her, she started to walk towards her house. “Hold on…” said Josh, getting out of the car. The cold northern wind made both Xyla and Josh shiver a little. “Whenever and wherever you need help, you can come to me. Even if we can’t be lovers, I hope we can still be good friends,” said Josh sincerely with a

“I have a pair of scissors in my room. If this doesn’t work, let’s use it,” said Xyla.She could not stand being stuck so closely to Stanley. If this continued, she was afraid that her heart might stop beating.“Alright. Come with me, slowly,” said Stanley while he led her into the room.Xyla pointed at the nightstand. “The scissors are in the drawer of my nightstand.”Without saying a word, Stanley slowly led her to the bed and the two of them sat down together. Carefully, he reached out to the drawer to get the scissors. As soon as he moved, Xyla yelped in pain.“Wait a second. It hurts…” she said.Still staying silent, Stanley pressed her head naturally against his chest while he reached for the scissors. In this affectionate pose, a multitude of feelings were growing at a rapid rate. Xyla began to feel an itch in her heart. There was also a numbing sensation.Soon, Stanley was able to grab the scissors. He carefully cut off that strand of hair before putting the scissors dow

Tom’s vulgarity thoroughly annoyed Xyla. With a slight frown, she took a step forward and stared at his face coldly.“Tom Sullivan, watch what you say,” she said.Xyla knew that Tom probably came to her in a huff because he wanted to get back at her for what she did to Mary.“What’s the matter? Didn’t you once beg me to f*ck you?” Tom asked sarcastically with a sly smile on his face.His words were like a needle to her heart. Xyla felt as if a hole had been pricked through somewhere in her body. Memories began to flood through her mind. Like a compressed balloon, all it took was a hole for these memories to blast through.Back when Xyla was ugly and fat, she once asked to be f*cked in order to keep him around. However, Tom had righteously told her that he wished to wait until the night of their wedding. Moreover, he claimed that he would never engage in sex before marriage.Like a fool, Xyla believed him. In fact, she was very touched that her Brother Sullivan was not like other
