Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1727

Being awake in the middle of the night was the worst feeling ever.

That was because one couldn’t help but think about troubling thoughts when one was awake.

After rolling about until it was close to the break of dawn, Xyla finally fell asleep.

Fortunately, she didn’t dream this time.

Instead, she slept until noon.

At noon the next day, Xyla woke up naturally.

When she opened her eyes, the curtains had been drawn shut.

The thick curtains kept the sunlight out. She couldn’t tell if it was day or night.

As Xyla had slept well, she felt extremely relaxed.

After taking a deep breath, she casually stretched and opened her eyes. She looked to her side and realized it was empty.

Stanley Batton wasn’t there.

Xyla reached for her phone on the nightstand and checked the time.

She then slowly sat upright.

The moment she sat up, she began recalling the two dreams she had the night before…

Suddenly, she felt goosebumps all over her body again.

Her body also felt cold.

How lucky…

It was only a dream.

After letting out a long sigh, Xyla slowly got out of bed. Then, she walked barefoot over to the curtains and drew them apart.

The moment the curtains were drawn apart, the room became brightly lit.

Outside, the sky was clear, with not a single cloud in sight.

However, it was still snowing a little.

Since it wasn’t cold enough outside, the snowflakes melted as soon as they touched the ground.

No traces of snow were left behind in this city.

A clear, snowy day like this was very common in Atlantis during winter.

Xyla liked it a lot too.

Xyla believed even more that karma was real.

After tapping on the news article, she got to know that Tony suffered from a heart attack in the middle of the night.

When it happened, nobody else was around. Hence, nobody knew.

When a maid tried to wake him up for breakfast this morning, he didn’t respond.

The maid felt that something was off and entered the room.

She then discovered that Tom was already dead.

Through a medical autopsy, Tony was assumed to have died at approximately three o’clock in the morning.

Netizens were curiously united in their comments under the news article—

“Am I the only one who thinks the Sullivan family is suffering from karma?”

“I think I believe it somewhat. Karma leaves nobody out… It’s real.”

“I can vaguely sense that Sullivan Group will soon shut down.”

“The Sullivan family has been going downhill all this while. So it’s hardly surprising, isn’t it?”

Xyla was not interested in jumping on the bandwagon of taking pleasure in others’ misfortune.
