Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1706

The person calling Xyla Quest was Georgie Clementine.

Having woken up naturally, Xyla felt that the exhaustion from working on Josh Batton’s wedding had suddenly disappeared…

She now felt at ease.

Due to a good night’s sleep, she was in an excellent mood.

After slowly stretching her body, she reached for her phone that was ringing on the nightstand. She glanced at it.

“Hey, Georgie…” Xyla said.

Xyla’s voice was soft and had a lazy quality to it. It was very pleasant to listen to.

“Tom is dead…” Georgie said.

Xyla was very shocked by what she heard.

She was just told not long ago that Tom Sullivan was in rehab for doing drugs.

Suddenly, she was told he was dead.

Apart from feeling shocked, Xyla didn’t feel anything else when she found out about this.

The man, who once meant the world to her when she was younger, didn’t even make her feel the slightest bit sad when he died.

“How did he die?” Xyla asked subconsciously.

After that, Xyla slowly sat upright.

Her long, black, curly hair naturally fell down her back as she sat up.

The soft, flowy texture made her seem even more striking.

Even if Xyla had only just woken up, she was still gorgeous.

This phone call also woke Stanley Batton.

He slowly opened his eyes before reaching out and pulling Xyla into his arms tightly.

“I heard he suffered from withdrawal and bit his tongue off because it felt too terrible…

“There wasn’t any professional caretaker around when it happened. So that’s how he ended up dead.

“This responsibility falls on the rehab center. But, logically speaking, somebody should’ve been around to watch over him when something serious like this happened.
