Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 141

Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with these dishes.

By the time Xyla Quest returned home, a thick layer of snow had already covered the courtyard floor.

Meanwhile, there were large red lanterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.

After quickly getting the car parked, Xyla hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house.

As soon as she walked in, she was greeted with warm air that replaced the chill in her body.

In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour looks on their faces.

An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It seemed an intense fight had occurred earlier.

Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in the large space that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.

The air seemed heavy and stuffy.

Everything had happened exactly as Xyla had imagined.

“Xyla, you are home…” Jeremy said. The coldness on his face slowly disappeared.

“Yeah,” Xyla slowly walked forward.

The fingerprints on her face seemed unusually clear under the light. Right then, the bruise had become very apparent and made it seem much more serious than it was.

When Jeremy saw how badly her daughter was hit, he became even angrier.

“Does your face still hurt?” Jeremy asked worriedly.

“It’s not too bad,” Xyla answered.

“Have a seat,” Jeremy reached for Xyla’s hand and pulled her close to him.

Xyla sat right beside Jeremy.
