Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Tom lay in the room until five in the evening before he regained some strength. He was about to get out of bed when his phone
vibrated.
Seeing that Julian was calling, he lifted the phone with much difficulty and answered the call.
“Tom, where did you go? Why haven’t you come home for so long? Mom and Dad are starting to complain,” Julian’s voice was
gentle as usual.
Tom tried to keep his voice composed and natural. He summoned all his strength to say, “I went out for a trip with some friends,
and I’ll be back in two days.”
“It’s almost time for New Year’s. There’s a lot to do at home, so come back quick,” Julian urged.
“Got it.”
“Alright then... I’ll wait for you. Right, Tom, the one who caused you this much harm has been identified.”
Tom’s body quivered as the spirit returned to his mind. “Who was it?”
“It’s not one, but many. They’re all our rivals in the food industry,” Julian said.
Tom’s eyes were filled (ninjanovel.com content) with disbelief when he heard. “Isn’t Xyla among them?”
“She really isn’t... I’ve investigated Xyla Quest many times in detail, but there wasn’t any evidence of her participating in this,”
Julian added.
Torn let out an exhausted sigh and simply ended the call. There were no words to describe the guilt in his heart.
So it wasn’t Xyla. He was just overthinking.

On the day before New Years, Xyla had received Jeremy’s call early in the morning, asking her to return home for dinner. After
she agreed, she drove her car out for shopping. Having been busy for so long, she planned to relax during this rare day off. She
did not deliberately dress up but merely put on a basic skincare layer and wore a set of outfits from a trendy brand she had
bought online.

She was wearing a(ninjanovel.com) black fleece sweater paired with a pair of tight-fitting black jeans. On her feet were a pair of
black Converse sneakers, making her look just like a student.
She headed directly to Goldfield Plaza.
Once inside, she went straight into Chanel’s official store and planned to choose some new spring outfits.
She had just reached the store’s entrance when the outfit on display on the mannequin outside caught her attention. It was a
white chiffon midi dress paired with a mist blue knitted cardigan. There was a silver belt at the cardigan’s waist, just nicely
accentuating the wearer’s shape.
She instantly turned to the sales attendant and said, “Take this down for me to try on.”
“I’ll take this. Just wrap it up for me,” Just then, a beautiful woman in a mink coat walked over and said to the sales attendant.
Xyla knew this person, Faye White. She was an actress who had just debuted one year ago in X Entertainment. The girl was
currently considered a C-List celebrity within the country.
Xyla knew Faye, but she knew Faye didn’t know her. Although she regularly went to the company when she wasn’t busy, she
always did it discreetly and ran into any celebrities.
She basically stayed inside her office when she was there. Even for meetings, she would only attend the large-scale higher
management meetings. As for those involving individual celebrities, she would never participate in but leave them to Georgie.
