Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1550

From Jeremy Quest’s perspective, Xyla Quest could understand how lonely it’d be after a person had retired.

This was especially the case when his daughter couldn’t be by his side all the time.

Although Jeremy described everything through rose-colored glasses, it was difficult to predict things in the future.

Jeremy might think this way, but Betty Starmount might not…

“I promise I won’t spend too much of our family’s money on her. Also, I promise that you’re the one I love the most no matter what…

“Also, I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. I promise I won’t get her pregnant. I won’t allow her to put a claim on our assets by having children…

“There will be a fixed quota on how much I give her. I won’t give her endlessly. Moreover, I won’t end up having a child who’d fight against you for my inheritance after I die…” Jeremy intentionally lowered his voice and spoke with a determined look on his face.

“I didn’t object because of this… I don’t really care that much about our family’s inheritance. What I’m worried about is that you’ll sink deeper and deeper. Then, if you accidentally fall into her trap, you’ll be sad and depressed…

“Compared to your money, I’m more worried about you…” Xyla added.

All of this was how Xyla honestly felt.

She truly understood the disappointment of devoting one’s heart and mind to another person only to be betrayed by that person in the end.

Xyla really didn’t want her father to experience that in his old age.

Jeremy chuckled. “Your father is someone who’s gone through decades of hardship in the business realm. Do you think I’m a fool?

“Also, I’ve gone to the fortune tellers to check on Betty’s fortune. She brings good luck… If I keep her around, she can help bring in fortune…

“While I spend money on her, she will also bring us luck and even more fortune to our family,” Jeremy said carefully once again.

Jeremy had always been superstitious like this…

Xyla and Stanley Batton were used to hearing stuff like this from him.
