Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 611

His men immediately stopped moving.

“These guys are so irritating. Drag them all out…” Christopher Lancelot ordered again.

Without any delay, his men grabbed the injured henchmen by their limbs and pulled them out of the cabin.

After the door clicked shut behind them, the whole world seemed to return to its original, peaceful state.

Xyla Quest gazed at Christopher, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Who the hell are you?”

The man standing in front of her seemed to be very powerful. However, she had never heard of such an influential guy in Country Z.

On top of that, she remembered Ada mentioning something about stocks and business.

Could he be a gangster?

Were the stocks Ada talked about earlier related to drugs?

What about the business? Was it about selling and reselling drugs?

“It doesn’t matter what kind of person I am. I’ve avenged you, and that’s all that matters.” Christopher refused to give her a direct answer to her question.

“Thank you…”

“No worries.”

“A few days ago, Ada found me and asked me to do her a favor. She said that she’ll send me a beautiful woman in return, so I agreed. Never in my life have I imagined that the beautiful woman would be you…” Christopher recounted.

“You’re lucky to have a face that’s eighty-percent similar to Miranda’s. If it wasn’t for your face, I wouldn’t have let you go…”

“What happened between you and Ada?” Christopher fixed his inquiring eyes upon Xyla.

“Erm, we bear grudges against each other,” Xyla answered truthfully.

She did not go into detail, and neither did Christopher intend to ask further questions about it. He simply nodded in response. “Well… No matter what happened to the two of you in the past, I can assure you that she’ll never look for you anymore.”

“Thank you so much.” Xyla’s eyes only expressed sincerity as she thanked him. “Give me your bank account. I’ll transfer a sum of money to you later to express my gratitude.”

“Have you ever forgotten her?”

“Never…”

“From what you’re saying, you womanize, and you’re constantly finding pleasure in beautiful women. Though it’s been three years, you still can’t get over Miranda. Do you think I can easily forget my husband?” Xyla asked rhetorically.

“If I’m not mistaken, the main purpose you womanize is to convince yourself that you’ve moved on, am I right? You’ve tried so hard but you still can’t forget about her,” added Xyla.

Christopher was left speechless. He kept his gaze locked upon Xyla’s face. “My love for Miranda is different.”

“My love for my husband is different as well. I doubt that my love for him is less than yours for Miranda.” Xyla looked determined.

“In fact, I've only been good to Miranda in my whole life. I’ve no principle when it comes to other women. I’m merely a scum…” Christopher cupped her chin once more, his fingers rubbing her chin repeatedly. “Since you look very much like Miranda, I can’t bear to defile you. I’ll let you go now…”

“Okay.” Xyla shook off his hand again.

Christopher then shouted at the door, “Guys…”
