Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1062

“I heard from Mom that you stole the show at the night market and the original jade rock auction, didn’t you?” Stanley Batton asked gently. Even the tip of his hair was soft and gentle to the touch.

“Yeah.” When Xyla Quest spoke about this, her mood became even better. “I made a lot of money today.”

“Yeah, I heard all about it,” Stanley said.

“Did Mom tell you everything?” Xyla asked.

“Yeah. She kept boasting about you in WeChat.” When Stanley mentioned this topic, a vague smile appeared upon his face.

“I see.” Xyla’s smile widened gradually.

When she and Sharon Lindt were shopping at the night market, Sharon kept reaching for her phone to chat with someone.

It turned out Sharon was chatting with Stanley…

“She kept reminding me to protect such a good wife like you,” Stanley said.

“What else?” Xyla asked.

“She even said that if I end up losing you, she will cut off ties with me,” Stanley said.

When Xyla heard that, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly…

“Do you think I would be willing to lose you? Hmm?” Stanley whispered in Xyla’s ear.

His sexy bass voice instantly tickled her bones.

A feeling of boundless happiness suddenly spread in Xyla’s heart.

In the next second, Stanley slowly shifted his gaze to the purple clay teapot in her hands.

After picking it up, he began to examine it carefully. “I heard that you bought this with 50,000. Is that true?” Stanley asked.

“Yeah…” Xyla said.

“I can tell right away that it’s good stuff… The layer of encrustation outside is rather thick. That means it’s been around for a long time.”

“I’ve looked through it. Michelangelo made this in the 15th century,” Xyla said.

“Indeed…” Stanley said.

Xyla only opened her eyes when it was noon the next day…

She immediately made a huffing sound and looked next to her.

Only then did she discover that the spot was already empty.

Beep, beep, beep…

Right then, her phone above the bed head started to ring.

Xyla slowly stretched before picking up her phone and glancing at it.

The call was from Stanley—

After she pressed the button to answer, Stanley’s nice deep voice could be heard again. “Are you up yet?” Stanley asked.

“Stanley Batton, I hate you,” Xyla said.
