Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2129

Stanley Batton was a man of few words most of the time, preferring to hold Xyla Quest in his arms while he drank and listened to her.

He never had eyes for anyone else.

The others still found it sweet despite being so used to seeing the couple being intimate with each other.

While everyone was chatting, Josh Batton’s phone started ringing. He answered instantly when he saw Annabeth Cates calling, hurrying outside while the others continued to chat.

“Xyla, I’m working on a new project. Would you be interested in it?” Henry Armstrong asked.

“You’ve got to tell me what it is first,” Xyla said, chuckling.

“I’ve got my hands on a good script. It’s based on a fantasy novel that’s unusually popular this year. It’s an adaptation that stays true to the original story, and I plan to make it into a film. Would you be interested to invest in it?” Henry asked.

“I’m just going to put this out there. If we’re going to work on this together, you’ll have to hire more actors from our company,” she said.

Henry shrugged nonchalantly. “Don’t worry. You can decide on who to hire for the roles. I don’t care. I just want an investment that will make me money. As for the director, I intend to hire Frank Sunderland, the internationally renowned director.”

Xyla considered for a few seconds. “Indeed, he is good at what he does. I’ll say yes for now, but let’s discuss the details later.”

She knew Henry wouldn’t take advantage of her. He must’ve wanted her to earn some profits because of his friendship with Stanley.

Hence, she didn’t need to consider too much.

Xyla knew about the novel he mentioned. It was one of the most profitable novels on the internet this year, with a huge readership.

It would likely be popular if they adapted it while staying true to the original plot, coupled with an established director like Frank.

“I’ve looked through the script, and I think it’s a good fit for Josh. I’m just not sure if Josh would be willing to take it,” Georgie Clementine said.

Xyla snapped her fingers when she heard this. “I was also going to mention this. Let’s ask Josh when he returns.”

Josh’s image and personality were a perfect fit for the male protagonist, so he seemed like the best candidate for that role.
