Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 355

At this moment, Gigi Graham was eager to teach William Jones a tough lesson in front of everyone.

But she knew she couldn’t do it. She had to put up with it, or else he would make an even bigger joke out of themselves.

Although Gigi did not know why, she could see that William wasn’t behaving like his usual self.

Immediately, Gigi turned around, grabbed her handbag, and ran out.

However, William did not instantly run after her. Instead, he looked at Stanley Batton. “I’m sorry. My wife has always been like this. Please don’t take things to heart.”

“Mr. Jones, let’s have a word,” Stanley said blandly before excusing himself from the crowd and stepping outside.

William quickly followed him, closing the door swiftly behind him.

After they all left, people in the room began discussing much more openly.

Xyla’s classmates, who had observed what happened, surrounded her and began saying bad things about Gigi.

Xyla didn’t go along with what they were saying. Instead, she listened intently as her eyes kept wandering to the door.

She felt very curious about why Five Batton had asked William to go outside with him. There wasn’t any apparent reason for Five to chat with this man on his own.

Outside the door, Stanley took long strides to a window at the end of the walkway.

There was a stunning view of the night scenery, full of red and green colors from the traffic lights, outside the window, and a continuous stream of cars on the busy road.

Without speaking, Stanley elegantly took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with his head lowered.

The ignited flame illuminated his face with a golden shine. Even with his head lowered, Stanley still seemed imposing.

Although Stanley was not speaking, his imposing aura that came from within was enough to make someone feel intimidated.

William stood behind Stanley with his head lowered respectfully as his body shivered. “Chief, I am truly sorry. My wife is retarded. Please don’t mind her. I’ll teach this b*tch a lesson once I get home,” he said.

Stanely didn’t respond but instead took a slow puff at his cigarette before slowly exhaling the smoke. The smoke around him did not seem to make his face appear any warmer.
