Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1085

Sebastian Brenand slowly and methodically took a cigarette out of the cigarette case. He placed the cigarette in his mouth before lighting it up and taking a puff at it. "Yes..." He said indifferently. He had nothing to hide.

Pearlie Ferguson's smile gradually faded away. Her envy toward Sebastian's so-called wife seemed to be at an all-time high.

Pearlie was curious about the kind of woman she must have been to make Sebastian Brenand do such a thing.

In the past, Pearlie always thought that no woman could ever tie down a man like Sebastian.

But to her surprise, it had happened.

Sebastian's entire body of branded clothes already made him stand out in the crowd. On top of that, he looked handsome. It made him appear even more attractive.

All the passersby couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

At this moment, Rachel Wood slowly got out of the car. She stood right where she was and looked at Sebastian. "Come here for a second..." She said softly.

Sebastian instantly walked over to Rachel and rubbed her head. "What's the matter?" he asked.

Rachel directly passed him his phone that was constantly vibrating. "Your phone hasn't stopped ringing..."

When Sebastian saw that the caller's number was unknown to him and that it was unimportant, he directly hung up the phone.

After that, he looked at Rachel earnestly. "That girl earlier was my... Umm... We interacted before. She was just saying hello to me... We didn't talk about anything else. It's true..."

When Rachel saw how nervous Sebastian seemed, she instantly found him extremely adorable.

She couldn't help but chuckle as she pinched his cheeks. "I didn't accuse you of talking about anything. Why are you so nervous? I'm not angry..."

Sebastian immediately raised three of his fingers. "It's true... I swear..." He added seriously.

After that, Sebastian gently held Rachel's hand. "I know that girls are sometimes actually angry when they say they aren't..."

Rachel laughed helplessly. "Don't be silly. I'm really not..."

She knew him well enough.

Now, he wasn't even capable of the thought of cheating on her.

Pearlie witnessed all of this from not too far away....

At that moment, apart from feeling envious and jealous, she felt even more shocked.

It turned out that Sebastian was capable of being this humble in front of a woman.

However, why wasn't she the woman who made him change his ways?

She felt that she was much prettier than the woman next to him.

Right then, she felt so jealous that she could die.

"In that case, I'll get back to the line..." Sebastian ruffled Rachel's hair softly yet again. He then rejoined the queue next to Pearlie.

"Why did you not pick me?" Pearlie couldn't resist asking.

"There isn't any reason," Sebastian said.

"Why her then?" Pearlie asked.

"Because I love her. That's why it must be her," Sebastian said.

At first, Xyla Quest was still sleepy as heck. But after getting home and taking a shower, she didn't feel tired anymore.

Once she applied her skincare products, she got back onto the bed.

At this moment, Stanley Batton was sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed as he went through his work emails on his phone.

When Stanley saw Xyla coming over, he immediately pinned her down on the bed—

Xyla's heart suddenly tightened. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Well..." Stanley chuckled softly.
