Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 101

“Look for a place of around sixty to seventy square meters, and one at a lower price. It should preferably be away from central areas. A second-hand house works too,” Stanley Batton said. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fifth Master, don’t you only purchase property in the golden zones?” Zack Cassidy felt that he no longer knew Fifth Master as well as he did before.

“Yeah,” Stanley uttered.

“I’ll get it done tomorrow,” Zack said.

“Buy the house within a day and throw all the furniture away. I want them to be replaced with new ones, but they can’t be from well-known brands,” Stanley added.

“Yes, Fifth Master,” Zack said.

“Make sure you disinfect the place inside and out for at least three times,” Stanley said.

“Got it. Fifth Master, are you going to stay there?” Zack asked.

“…” Stanley remained silent as he lit a cigarette and looked out at the city’s busy view at night.

The smoke surrounding his fingers made them appear much longer and more elegant.

After Xyla Quest arrived home, she first walked out onto her balcony to look at the master bedroom.

When she saw that the room was dark, she proceeded to put on a face mask and took a milk bath.

After that, she changed into a pink silk nightdress with straps before returning to her room.

After a long day, and after a comfortable bath, Xyla felt much more relaxed than before.

When she saw the black windbreaker on her bed, she could not help but recall how Stanley had walked away in the heavy snow without a care.

Xyla immediately felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

However, she very soon recollected herself and picked up the coat.

When her gaze landed upon the brand logo, she noticed that she had never seen this brand before. It was called ‘House of Men’.

Xyla had previously thought that only good brands produced such high-quality clothing with excellent design and feel to the touch. She had not expected this coat to be from a random brand.

Indeed, the designer of this brand was very talented. If he or she continued to do well, the brand might one day be a competitor to currently well-known brands like Armani, Versace, and the likes.

Out of curiosity, Xyla searched for the brand on Baidu to find out who the designer behind House of Men was.

However, her search was not fruitful.

Xyla could not believe that the brand did not even have an online presence on Baidu.

Soon, Xyla began to feel sleepy. After carefully hanging the coat up, she lay in her bed.

After a good night’s sleep, Xyla was woken up by her alarm at seven o’clock in the morning. Once she was done cleaning herself up, she walked directly over to the master bedroom and knocked on the door.

“Come in…”

After hearing Jeremy Quest’s voice, Xyla immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

Clearly, Jeremy had just gotten out of bed. Right then, he was practicing Tai Chi on the balcony. However, he did not look rested. Clearly, he did not sleep well the night before.

Xyla’s heart went out to him.

Quickly, she walked up to Jeremy.

“Let’s go out for a run, shall we? I’ll accompany you,” Xyla suggested.

It would be a good way to make him feel better.

“I’m happy with practicing Tai Chi,” Jeremy said as he continued moving his body.

“Let’s go out. It will be good to get some fresh air. Come on, Daddy?” Xyla held onto Jeremy’s wrist gently while she spoke.

Unable to resist her charm, Jeremy gave in and chuckled helplessly.

“Okay…” Jeremy said.

After that, Xyla wrapped her hand around Jeremy’s arm cheerfully while she led him out.

When they passed by the bed, Xyla noticed a piece of paper next to the bed on the bedside table.

The words ‘Divorce Agreement’ were clearly written on that piece of paper.

When Xyla first walked into the room, she had kept her eyes on her father. Therefore, she had not noticed it at all until now.
