Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 835

Hanging up the phone, he changed his target and called Georgie Clementine. "Georgie, is Xyla with you?"

Why was Xyla Quest acting so weird today? Something must have happened to her.

Stanley Batton felt a little uneasy about her disappearance.

Georgie was currently at the X Entertainment's chief executive's office. She slowly put down the documents in her hands before replying to Stanley, "No, she's not at the office. Why?" "Nothing..." Stanley was disappointed.

Following that statement, he hung up the phone and called Zack Cassidy. "Find out where Xyla is right now."

Stanley then hung up on Zack without waiting for him to reply. He did not notice it, but wrinkles appeared between his brows again.

After crying for a while, Xyla got up from the sofa and plodded to the balcony. She left the window ajar, allowing a light breeze to flow into the room and cool her face.

Suddenly, a fleet of black luxury cars pulled up in the courtyard.

A large group of black-clad men got out of the car in the very next second.

Shortly, Christopher Lancelot got out of the car too.

The men in black nodded respectfully when they saw Christopher.

Their impressive line-up startled everyone who was walking in and out of the hotel. No one could take their eyes off Christopher.

As soon as Christopher lifted his head, a familiar figure came into his sight.

She was on the sixth floor, whereas he was in the courtyard.

She was far away from him, so he could hardly see her expression.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Christopher's phone vibrated. He picked up the call without even looking at it. "What is it?"

"Master Lancelot... I'm sorry that we lost Miss Xyla just now. I don't know why she's suddenly in a bad mood after going to the root carving exhibition.

"She left the hall gloomily. She even sped down the streets and flung all of us off, including Stanley Batton's bodyguards..." Christopher's henchman reported earnestly and anxiously, "I'm really sorry, Master Lancelot."

Upon hearing that, Christopher's face darkened instantaneously. "Oh? I see... Alright then, you guys can go back to rest first..."

Was she suddenly in a bad mood after going to the root carving exhibition? Why?

With that out of the way, Christopher slid his phone back into his pocket and marched into the hotel.

His henchmen quickly caught up with him and opened a path for him, as if the emperor himself had just shown up at the hotel.

Christopher headed straight to the lobby and took the elevator to the sixth floor.

Judging from the balcony's position, he had figured out which room Xyla was staying in no time. Locking his eyes on that room, he strode down the aisle and came to a halt in front of the door, knocking it several times.

Inside the room, Xyla subconsciously turned to the door when she heard the knocks.

Taking a deep breath, she scuttled to the door and peeped in the peephole.

What came into her view was Christopher's kind, smiling eyes.

Xyla was a little surprised by Christopher's abrupt arrival.

She immediately wiped off her tears and opened the door.

Panic swelled within Christopher as soon as he saw Xyla's red eyes. "What happened?"

"Why are you here?" Xyla asked.

"I have something to settle in Atlantis, so I'm staying here these few days. I saw you standing at the balcony when I came back just now... So... I thought I'd say hello to you," Christopher stuttered. "Oh... Sorry, I'm not in a good mood right now. I need some time to myself. Just go ahead and settle your work." With that, Xyla took a step back and closed the door.

However, Christopher was quick enough to slip his fingers into the narrow slit and block the door. He forcefully pushed open the door and stalked into the room. He gazed at Xyla, then glanced coldly at the black-clad men behind him. "Wait for me outside."
