Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 728

Very soon, the hall became noisy again. Everyone was drinking and dancing, and nobody paid attention to what happened earlier.

Sharon Lindt quickly turned Xyla Quest around. She placed both hands on Xyla's shoulders and looked at her admiringly.

"Xyla, let me have a good look at you. You seem like a quiet girl, but why did you look so on fire when you danced earlier? Did you take dancing lessons at school? I never knew you were so good at dancing," Sharon said.

Xyla shook her head. "No... I only started learning when Grandpa was helping me recover."

"What? Alright. Perhaps, you are naturally gifted." A look of shock appeared in Sharon's eyes. "Mom... You should stop praising me so much." Xyla touched her hair embarrassedly.

"How could I not praise you? Xyla, I admire you and feel proud of you a lot..." Sharon said.

Sharon never held back when she praised Xyla.

Stanley Batton, on the other hand, kept quiet and looked at Xyla affectionately.

"Xyla, let's dance for a while longer, shall we? Can you teach me that dance move earlier?" Sharon's eyes were full of excitement.

"Sure," Xyla said.

"Be careful, you two," Stanley said seriously.

"Yeah, we know..." Sharon said before quickly pulling Xyla by her hand and running into the crowd.

Throughout the whole process, their bodyguards protected them by standing close by.

Stanley never took his eyes off Xyla.

He watched her dance through the crowd.

After emptying a glass of alcohol, a woman with thick makeup walked up to Stanley.

The woman sat seductively next to him before placing one hand under her chin while looking at Stanley. "Hey, handsome... Are you alone? Would you be so kind as to buy me a drink?" she asked. Stanley was wearing branded clothes and accessories all over his body, and he didn't seem like an ordinary person.

The watch he was wearing alone cost several tens of millions.

After making eye contact with him, the woman decided that Stanley was the man she would try to bed tonight.

Far away on the dance floor, a few of her female friends were staring in her direction.

Earlier, she had confidently shown them an 'okay' gesture with her hand.

When the few of them first walked into this place, they already had their eyes on Stanley. None of them dared to approach him. She was the only one who confidently said she would be able to seduce Stanley. "Who are you?" Stanley's gaze was cold.

"I am... An adorable girl who likes you... If you're keen, we could get a room upstairs and get to know each other better," the woman said before flipping her hair seductively.

"I don't have money..." Stanley said.

"Are you joking with me, handsome? Your watch is probably worth all the rooms in the hotel," the woman said.

"My wife didn't give me any cash," Stanley replied. He wasn't interested in an uncultured woman.

"Look at you, handsome. You're so funny... Are you afraid of your wife?" the woman asked.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Stanley asked.

His cold demeanor immediately caused the woman to back away.

Defeated, she hung her head low and returned to her friends.

When her friends saw what happened, they couldn't help but roll their eyes at her...

"What happened? Can't he be persuaded?"

"I told you. That man isn't easy to get..."

The women chattered among themselves.

"I'm really curious about who his wife is. How did she manage to make him so loyal?" The woman frowned helplessly.

Meanwhile, Xyla and Sharon got tired of dancing.

While holding each other's hand, they were panting as they returned to Stanley's side.

When Stanley saw Xyla, the cold expression on his face instantly disappeared. He began smiling gently.

By then, Xyla and Sharon were sweating from having too much fun earlier.
