Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 285

Gary stood up as well and tidied his suit. “I’m leaving too. I have something to do as well.”

After the three left, only Xyla, Henry, and Stanley were left in the room.

Ring, ring, ring.

Just then, Xyla’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Georgie calling, she got up and went to the door to answer the call. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Georgie was talking to her about work in X Entertainment, so Xyla discussed with her earnestly.

Henry had no plans to leave. He kept smoking without care.

“Henry…” Stanley raised his head slowly, shifting his cold gaze to Henry’s face.

“Yeah?”

“Alex…”

Before Stanley could finish, Henry became solemn. “Definitely not… It took me great difficulty to train this person. If I give him to her, what’s going to happen to my team?”

“That land in the city center… haven’t you always wanted it to build a pub there?” Stanley elegantly flicked his cigarette. His tone was calm and casual.

Upon hearing this, a light sparked in Henry’s eyes. “Really? Are you willing to give me that land?”

“So… Alex?”

“No. She was just casually suggesting it. Do you have to?” Henry looked helpless.

“Then, I’ll just keep it for myself,” said Stanley, looking away from Henry.

At this, Henry immediately gave in. The location of that land was perfect. If it was used for investment by building a pub, the profits would no doubt sky-rocket.

He had been interested in it for a long time and begged Stanley for it since forever, but the latter never agreed.

Now, the rare chance was finally here. How could he give it up so easily?

Although the team was his precious treasure, that land was the same.

Moreover, if he lost a top solo, he could search again. But if the land was lost, it was truly gone.

“Fine… I’ll hand him over, okay?” Henry compromised.

“I’ll give you that land at a cheaper rate,” said Stanley.

Henry immediately understood.

The meaning behind the man’s words was that he wished for Henry to give Xyla the top solo player at a cheaper rate.

F*ck, this dude!

Henry nodded obediently. “Fine, fine, I got it. If she seriously forms a team, I’ll be proactive and send Alex over.”

***

After Sebastian and Rachel got into the car, he didn’t start the vehicle but turned to Rachel and said, “Get a cab home on your own tonight. I won’t be keeping you company.”

Rachel nodded obediently.

She didn’t ask.

As a lover, she knew she didn’t have the rights to. She was conscious of at least that much.

The more significant reason why the great Casanova, Sebastian Brenand, was keeping her by his side for so long was that she never caused trouble. She wouldn’t get jealous either.

However, even if she didn’t ask, she knew who Sebastian was keeping company tonight. During dinner, a woman had sent him a WeChat message, inviting him over.

But Rachel didn’t mind it. Between them, it was only a shallow transaction. As long as he paid up, there wasn’t a need for her to care where he slept at night.
