Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 37

This was the first time in twenty-eight years someone thought of Stanley as a poor person.

“I have some savings. I borrowed the rest from my boss,” Stanley answered calmly.

“How much did you borrow?” Xyla asked.

“Approximately three million dollars. I’ll pay him back over time,” he added.

Xyla did not hesitate to shove the car keys into his pocket before gently patting the car’s hood. “Listen to me and return this immediately. It’s not worth getting into debt over a car.

“Besides, haven’t I told you not to pay me for the car? You were the one who saved my life. How could I ask you to pay for my car?” Xyla seemed determined.

“If you don’t want it, throw it away,” Stanley said calmly before returning the car keys to her and walking away.

Xyla was truly dumbfounded. She had no idea why this person was in such a hurry to return her money. If he had a lot of spare cash, she might have been able to understand. However, the fact was that he was not exactly wealthy.

Xyla immediately ran after him and grabbed him by his shirt, “Don’t leave. Listen to me. Return the car. It’s really not good to get into debt.”

“I don’t like repeating myself.” He sounded insistent.

“Do you know you are very stubborn?”

“I do.”

“Wouldn’t it be great to save up and use the money to get married in the future?”

Stanley looked at her thoughtfully without saying a word. He then continued to walk forward.

“About that… Give me your bank account. I’ll return you the five hundred thousand dollars you spent on my behalf,” Xyla said.

He retrieved his phone in a swift motion and showed Xyla his WeChat QR code. “Scan this. I’ll send it to you on WeChat.”

Xyla immediately scanned the QR code without saying a word.

She thought that she would return him the money and the amount paid for her car once he provided his bank account. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Xyla saw on WeChat that his account was named North. It appeared that his photo was on display as the profile picture. He was wearing a white shirt while he stood by the sea with a Samoyed in his arms in the picture.

After adding him on WeChat, Xyla asked, “Shall I send you home?”

“It’s alright. Somebody will pick me up,” he answered.

“Alright. I’ll leave now. Bye…” Xyla smiled before she turned around and walked over to the Maserati.

Meanwhile, Stanley kept quiet and checked her social media page out.

Her WeChat name was Xyla. Meanwhile, her profile picture was one of a cartoonish ‘lucky cat’. When he saw the adorable picture, he immediately smiled ever so slightly.

When Xyla returned home, she saw Emily Quest excitedly showing May Conner pictures of the most fashionable wedding dresses on her phone while they both sat on the couch.

The two seemed to be in their own world.

While the duo was engrossed in their activity, they occasionally burst into laughter, which Xyla found deeply annoying.

“Oh, right. Mom, have you told Dad that Brother Sullivan and his family would be here soon?”

“I have. Your dad has unwillingly agreed. To be honest, he can’t disagree. After all, you are pregnant.” May rubbed Emily’s stomach excitedly before pointing at a puffy, tube-top inspired wedding dress. “This simple design suits you. You’ll look like a little fairy.”

“But I don’t think it looks sexy at all. Let’s look for a sexier one, okay?”

Xyla glanced coldly at them before walking directly into the dining room for breakfast.
