Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 435

Before Xyla could say no, Noah was already trying to find the kitchen.

“I’m fine Noah, there’s no need to worry about me. You can attend to your personal matters now.”

“Well alright… I’ll be taking my leave first then,” said Noah, smiling as he stood up.

While this was happening, a black Honda pulled up to the front of the house.

In the car, Stanley Batton gave a cold stare toward Georgie Clementine who was busy directing the workers as they carried Xyla's belongings into the house. He then elegantly stepped out of his car.

Slipping on some house slippers, he quickly headed to the living room.

Once he saw Noah, his eyes darkened.

Seeing Stanley, he bowed respectfully. He knew that Stanley and Xyla were on bad terms so he kept his mouth shut.

Stanley ignored Noah entirely and walked over to Xyla. “You’ve already been discharged from the hospital. Why was I not notified about this?”

He had immediately rushed to the hospital after his meeting earlier. He wanted to be the one to help her with the discharge process and to get her home safely.

The reality was that when he arrived, he was told that she had already been discharged and had left the hospital.

“I don’t think I need to tell you everything, do I?” Xyla’s response was cold. "What would happen if there was a misunderstanding?"

Stanley already had a girlfriend. If she bothered Stanley too much, his girlfriend could eventually misunderstand his actions.

"Misunderstanding?" Stanley frowned as he looked at Noah through the corner of his eye.

What was she talking about? Was she worried about Noah misunderstanding her?

It was obvious that Noah had intentionally gone to the hospital to help her get discharged. It made perfect sense to Stanley that Noah was the reason why she was treating him this way.

“Indeed…” Xyla’s answer was gentle as she looked toward Noah. “Drive safely out there.”

Noah could easily sense how awkward and uncomfortable the situation was. He felt a chill run down his spine. He simply nodded quickly before leaving the house.

Noah picked up almost immediately.

Noah’s right hand was on the steering wheel while his left held the phone close to his ear. “Is there anything I can help with Fifth brother?”

“Noah Smith… I want to meet up and have a word with you,” said Stanley coldly.

Noah felt puzzled. First his younger sister and now Stanley himself? What was going on?

Stanley’s voice was chilling and made his hairs stand on end. “Alright but not at the moment. I have an important meeting to attend to.”

“You’ll have one hour to attend to whatever you’re doing. Come to the address I’ll send to you immediately after.” Before Noah could react, Stanley had hung up the phone.

A moment later, the address reached Noah’s phone.

Noah looked at the message and noticed that it was directly opposite Hilton Hotel. What a coincidence. After his talk with Catherine, he would definitely have enough time to meet up with Stanley.

However, this did not dismiss the questions swimming in his head. What had he done for both the Batton siblings to suddenly have an interest in him?
