All Chapters of Revenge of the Hideous Lady: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

“It’s alright. I’ll ask Georgie to hire a professional caregiver to look after me,” Xyla Quest said as she shook her head. Xyla knew for a fact, that any woman would be upset to find out that their boyfriend was constantly taking care of another. She didn’t want something like that to happen. Since Stanley already had a girlfriend, he and Xyla should keep some distance between them. This was Xyla’s way of showing respect to his girlfriend. Sensing something amiss with Xyla, Stanley frowned slightly. “Is anything the matter?” he asked. Beep, beep, beep… At that moment, Xyla’s phone on the nightstand began to ring. His hand moved over to pick the phone up but just as he was about to hand it over to her, he unintentionally saw that it was Noah Smith who was calling her. Stanley looked at Xyla briefly before picking the call up on her behalf and placing the phone in her hand. Xyla looked at who the caller was. “Noah, what’s up?” She began coughing almost immediately a

There was quite a distance between Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, making it difficult for her to hear what exactly he was talking about with the person on the call. However, from the changes in his facial expression and judging by the tone of his voice, Xyla was fairly certain that Stanley was talking to his girlfriend. Perhaps they had agreed to go somewhere together today, but they had to cancel their plans because of her. Xyla’s heart began to ache while her thoughts went wild. Stanley hung up the phone and walked over to Xyla before sitting down once more. “Are you hungry? I’ll get something for you,” he said. Xyla looked away so that he couldn’t see the disappointment in her eyes. “It’s okay. Georgie will be here soon. You can leave now. You’re not needed here anymore,” she said blatantly. Her cold attitude made Stanley frown again. “What’s wrong with you?” “Nothing. I just want to be alone. Hurry along and leave now,” said Xyla. “There’s something you’re not telling

“Are you sure? Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with both of you? Why didn’t you ask for a caregiver when you were injured last time?” Georgie Clementine pursued on.She moved toward Xyla Quest’s bed and sat near the edge. Stretching her arm out, she casually placed it around Xyla’s shoulder, pulling Xyla close to her.“As you said, that was before. The current situation is completely different as he now has a girlfriend. His girlfriend would be depressed if she found out that Stan had been taking care of me.”Xyla smiled bitterly, looking exceptionally lonely and gloomy. Her heart began to throb again when she mentioned Stanley’s relationship. Breathing became difficult and she felt like she was constantly out of breath.Georgie’s eyes were able to capture all the changes in her expression perfectly. Her utter dismay was reflected in her eyes. “Xyla… Do you… Do you have a thing for Stanley Batton?”Another bitter smile was Xyla’s response, the girl refusing to deny no

A grin formed on Noah Smith’s face, his exquisite dimples raised at the corners of his mouth. “That’s great to hear. I bought a little gift on my way here. Hope you like it…” “Thanks, they’re beautiful. I love it,” replied Xyla with delight as she examined the beauty of the scarlet bouquet. There was not a single woman on earth who could resist the charm of flowers, and this included her. “Glad you like it.” Noah placed the flowers on the bedside table with a satisfied expression on his face. “Oh that’s right, let me introduce you to Georgie.” Xyla looked toward Georgie with a smile. “Georgie Clementine here, is the Chief Executive of X entertainment. Most of X entertainment’s popular stars today were all mentored by her. She’s older than you so you can call her Georgie.”Hearing that, Noah immediately reached a hand out to Georgie. “Nice to be of your acquaintance Georgie, I’m Noah Smith, but you can call me Noah. Xyla calls me that as well.” Georgie rose to her feet in r

Zack Cassidy’s eyes opened wide, attentive and brimming with curiosity. He slowly approached the wooden desk before holding onto the edge and looking straight into Stanley’s eyes. “Is Xyla behaving oddly around you? What exactly do you mean by attitude changes? Is she being apathetic toward you? I can’t believe this is actually happening to you.” Stanley’s face darkened instantaneously.Zack immediately realized that he had gone a bit too far. Clearing his throat, he took in a deep breath. He chose his next words carefully before whispering, “My apologies, Fifth Master. My words were chosen poorly.”This was true, as even Zack was surprised at how he simply blurted out everything that was on his mind.He felt his scalp go numb. “Do you crave death, Zack?” Stanley asked, each word more frigid than the last. “I do not, Fifth Master...” Zack responded apprehensively. “No, I’m pretty sure you do.” Stanley glared at him, his frown almost overbearing. “...” Zack Cassidy dared

“I will, Fifth Master.” Zack Cassidy gave Stanley Batton a respectful nod before turning around to leave his office. After the door clicked shut behind him, the office returned to its original, peaceful state. Stanley leaned back against his office chair, his hands behind his head and his legs comfortably crossed. All that was on his mind were the final two possibilities that Zack had proposed earlier. *** When Georgie Clementine returned to the ward with the contract in hand, Noah Smith signed the contract without even glancing at it. Shortly after, he bid a brief farewell before leaving with his copy of the contract. Xyla and Georgie were alone in the ward again.The first thing Georgie did was slide the contract into a drawer before closing it. Her next move was to return to Xyla’s side, where she began praising Noah. “Noah seems like a straightforward and energetic man. He was very friendly and approachable, nothing like the nobleman I had initially imagined him to be

“Please come in,” called out Georgie Clementine. In response, Stanley Batton stepped into the ward with a huge basket of fruits in hand. Xyla Quest found herself peering at the basket. It had all her favorite fruits in it. Stepping forward, he placed the basket of fruits on the bedside table and pulled a chair to sit beside Xyla. He looked at her and asked, “Was the lunch I ordered to your liking?” “Yes, the lunch was delicious and I appreciate the fruit basket. Though why are you back so soon?” Several thoughts were swimming in Xyla’s head. How could he spend so little time with his girlfriend? How was that enough? “I was worried about you,” Stanley answered. “There’s nothing to worry about, I have Georgie with me. As you can see, everything is fine here. Georgie has been taking very good care of me. Now hurry along and attend to your business matters,” blurted Xyla somewhat coldly, though her expression remained gentle as usual.A slight scowl formed on Stanley’s face a

The crowd in the fast-food restaurant consisted mainly of loitering teenagers. As soon as he set foot into the KFC, almost all eyes fell on him. This was especially true for the girls, who momentarily almost seemed like they had lost all interest in their boyfriends; even though their boyfriends were right in front of them. However, Stanley paid them no notice as usual. Scanning the restaurant’s layout, he managed to catch sight of Catherine Batton. Catherine was seated by the window near a corner of the restaurant, enjoying her Plum Wine ice-cream. While this was happening, several girls in the restaurant were already whispering among themselves. His good looks had garnered a lot of attention from them, and the girls were silently fangirling over him. When she saw Stanley, Catherine waved at him enthusiastically. The dimples at the corners of her lips looked exceptionally cute on her, especially when she smiled. Catherine had always been proud to have such an admired and a

Zack Cassidy replied with a simple, ‘no’. Catherine Batton squinted her eyes. She wasn’t going to give up that easily. After telling her brother she needed to use the bathroom, she gave Zack a call there. He picked up within a second or two. While looking at her reflection in the mirror by the sink, Catherine began her interrogation on Zack. “What’s the deal with Fifth brother, Zack? If I don’t get the truth, I’m going to complain to him that you’ve been taking me lightly ever since I returned to Country Z. That’ll make him cut your salary for sure.” Catherine believed that if anyone knew about her brother’s troubles, it would be Zack Cassidy since he followed Stanley around every day. In his office, Zack took in a deep breath as he rubbed his forehead. He was clearly being threatened. “Seventh Mistress, that’s a rather low way of getting information, don’t you think?” The Fifth Master had always favored his seventh sister. If Catherine said anything negative about Zack, he

*** Meanwhile, Sharon Lidth and Rebecca Robin strutted into Xyla Quest’s ward with a large group of bodyguards behind them. A various array of tonics and supplements were carried by the guards. Xyla and Georgie Clementine were left speechless. The group’s grand arrival was a first for both of them and they were unsure how to register the situation in their minds. Their eye-catching entrance somewhat reminded Xyla of a Chinese drama she had watched a few years prior, called the Empresses in the Palace. There was a scene where the Emperor rewarded Zhen Huan with treasures as far as the eye could see. She felt very much like Zhen Huan at the moment. Xyla did a mental headcount of the bodyguards. There were about thirty of them, each holding no less than three boxes of tonics and supplements. Even without knowing their actual price, Xyla estimated that each individual tonic could easily cost up to five digits and above. Sharon casually waved a hand before turning back to look a
