Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 993

The man sitting in front of her was too stunning.

He was the most handsome man she had ever met in her life.

As a woman and a face judger, she simply could not peel her eyes off Stanley Batton's face!

Stanley could tell what the waitress was thinking from her expression. Sadly, he did not even bother to look at her.

Though Xyla Quest could also sense the waitress's fondness for Stanley, she remained as calm as ever.

All the girls in the world were in love with Stanley.

She was used to it.

The pair ordered two signature crab paste risotto, a plate of steamed king crab legs, a huge curry crab, and two cups of orange juice.

The waitress was reluctant to leave even after they had done ordering the food.

She poured a cup of warm water for each of them before leaving the room unwillingly.

After the waitress left, Stanley took a sip of warm water and said, "Oh yeah, make sure you're free next Monday night."

"Why?" Xyla stared at Stanley and asked smilingly, her chin on her left hand.

"We're going to hold a party for Dragon Group's 70th anniversary at eight o'clock that night. We have to attend the party, and we're going to dance for the opening ceremony." Stanley slowly placed the glass of water on the table as he spoke.

Upon hearing that, Xyla nodded without a second thought. "Sure. I shall find a brand to customize my gown then."

"I've already ordered it for you. It'll be here in a couple of days," Stanley said.

Warmth spread in Xyla's heart when she heard that. "Really? Hubby, you're so thoughtful."

Stanley gradually smiled. "Of course. I have to be thoughtful to my wife."

"Where's the party?"

"On a cruise ship. All the executives of Dragon Group, domestic or abroad, will be there. We've also invited some of our elite employees, politicians, and celebrities from all over the world," Stanley added. “I ought to dress up nicely that night. I'm not going to humiliate you." Xyla looked determined.

"You're pretty enough to take everyone's soul away even if you don't dress up," Stanley reassured her.

Upon hearing that, Xyla's smile subconsciously widened.

"Speaking of which, are your brothers and sisters coming back that night?" Xyla asked.

Stanley was the fifth child in his family. He had two elder brothers and two elder sisters who Xyla had never met before.

She had only seen them in their family photo.

Sharon Lindt said that the four of them loved Stanley, Josh, and Catherine Batton very much. They liked to spoil their younger siblings ever since they were kids.

Besides, Sharon told her that Stanley's eldest brother started a public relations company in Country L after completing his degree there.

He was a very successful businessman. His company was the largest public relations company in Country L.

On the other hand, Stanley's second eldest brother ran a high-end hotel and an entertainment industry at Country D.

Stanley's two elder sisters went to Country J to complete their degrees years ago. Both of them met their Mr. Right when they were studying abroad. One of them encountered the son of Country J's vice president, while the other met the son of Country J's president.

After graduating, they got married and helped their in-laws run their family business. The two of them were living a prosperous life there.

That was the reason why they were all so busy and rarely had the time to visit Atlantis. Furthermore, they had their own families and children in their respective countries. Sometimes, they only came back home once in a few years.

"I guess so." Stanley pondered for a few seconds before continuing, "Why? Do you want to meet them?"

Xyla nodded. "Yes."

"I think you're going to see them that night."

Nodding once more, Xyla grabbed the straw and took a few sips of orange juice.

***

After dinner, Xyla and Stanley strolled along the streets hand-in-hand under their bodyguards' watchful watch.

Subsequently, they went back to their luxury car and drove home.

Buzz buzz buzz... Xyla's phone vibrated as soon as they walked into the living room.
