Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 341

Sebastian Brenand shook his head.

Then, Xyla Quest turned to look at Henry Armstrong.

Henry shook his head as well. He drew a tiny kumquat from the plate of fruits beside him, peeled off the skin and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Stop questioning it. You know that everything turns out well and that’s all that matters…Things are handled perfectly by Stan, there isn’t a single flaw.” He reassured Xyla while chewing the kumquat in his mouth.

“Moreover, you don’t have to worry if the Thomson family starts pursuing the matter further and leaving you in danger, things like that. Stan has arranged it all and everything will come to an end here.” He added.

“From what you’re saying, I think you do know more about the negotiation?” Henry’s words piqued Xyla’s curiosity.

Henry shrugged and leaned against the chair lazily. He spat the kumquat seeds onto his palm and threw them into the trash can. “I really wasn’t there. I just heard it from Stan. As for the details, I’m afraid that we can’t tell you because they involve some secrets.”

Xyla did not ask further questions the moment she heard that.

Since the whole story was deliberately ambiguous, they must be hiding something from her, something that she should not know, she thought.

For instance, they were in the gang. They had been in the gang for a long time, and since they were able to stay in the gang and mix well with the other members, they must have some connections with the higher-ups.

She reckoned that the higher-ups must be able to subdue the Thomson family. This was the reason behind Stanley’s secure arrangements and this was also why Henry was so sure that everything would end here, and the Thomsons would never look into anything else.

Perhaps it all involved some secrets of their gang. Therefore, she decided to stop asking.

“Beautful Xyla, what are you thinking about?” Sebastian was full of concern.

“Nothing.” Xyla smiled.
