Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Stanley did not say anything. After chuckling softly, he walked away. Once the door closed behind him, Xyla’s world became
calm again. However, her heart was still pounding. The image earlier kept appearing in her mind.
Her face was getting redder by the second. Now, Xyla felt as if she would rather just die.

Meanwhile, at the Batton family’s villa, Josh saw Sharon on the couch when he returned home. He immediately walked over and
sat down next to her.
“Mom, why are you here?”
“Did you see your brother?”
“Yeah...”
“Did he tell you everything he ought to?”
Josh let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. “He did. Don’ t worry. I won’t set my eyes on my sister-in-law in
the future.”
Ever since he was a young boy, he found it difficult to fall in love with anyone. When he eventually did, the person turned out to
be his sister-in-law. What kind of drama was this?
Josh felt as if something was stuck in his chest and made it difficult for him to breathe. He kept Sharon at home for a long while
as he thoroughly asked her about what was going on between Stanley and Xyla.
Sharon told Josh everything she knew. After listening to what she said, Josh finally understood what was happening.
“My brother really does know how to play this game,” said Josh with a sigh.

The next morning, Xyla woke up to good news. She received a call from Jeremy telling her that the Quest family had acquired
eight billion dollars from the Dragon Group. The Dragon Group had sent the Quest family an IOU slip without asking for anything
else.

When Xyla found out, she was overjoyed. She instantly became wide awake. After chatting with Jeremy for a while, she slowly
sat up in bed. The Dragon Group’s name kept appearing in her mind. She truly could not figure out why the Dragon Group was
doing this good deed for them.
After she took a shower, Georgie gave her a call to inform her that Emily had been sentenced to three years in prison. That
meant Xyla would be able to live in peace for three years.
She immediately stretched her arms comfortably before sitting down in front of her dressing table. After cheerfully putting her
make-up on, she was ready to head to work. While Xyla enjoyed her moment of peace, things were heated in the house next to
hers.
After receiving news about Emily’s verdict, May cried continuously despite Jeremy’s efforts to console her. While May cried her
lungs out, she pressed her hand against her chest and said how it was hurting.
That was Jeremy’s weakness. When he saw her placing her hand over her chest, he felt pained. He quickly held her in his arms
and told her that he would find a way to get Emily out of prison.

After having breakfast with Stanley, Xyla got into her car and left for work. Not too far away from her house, a black Porsche
Cayenne quickly caught up with her and forced her to come to a halt. She recognized the car, it belonged to Tom Sullivan.
His name once meant the world to her. It was enough to fill her teenage heart. A long time ago, Tom’s name used to equate
wonder, happiness, and joy. But now, it was everything on the opposite spectrum. Now, whenever Xyla thought of his name, she
felt nauseated.
Very soon, Tom got out of his car and walked over. He was wearing a white suit. He had a gentle and noble appearance, almost
like that of a prince. Torn perfectly embodied the meaning of duplicity.
With a frown on her face, Xyla’s mood was instantly spoiled by his presence. She quickly pushed the car door open and
approached him.
“Tom Sullivan, what do you want?” she asked coldly.
“I want to f*ck. Are you up for it?” he asked, sounding shameless. There was a coldness in his eyes that Xyla had never seen
before.
