Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2427

Leon Batton frowned slightly. “Perhaps.”

He was no stranger to being pursued by numerous girls since primary school, yet none of them were as determined as this girl.

He couldn’t help but recall the scene where the girl was surrounded and taunted by bullies.

Her teary eyes and pitiful facial expression kept appearing in his mind.

Ring, ring, ring—

The bell rang, signalling the end of one lesson just as their English teacher entered the classroom.

Everyone fell silent.

Even Leon’s thoughts were interrupted as he watched the teacher approach the podium.

Their English lesson proceeded as usual.

The morning flew by very quickly, and soon, it was time for lunch.

Conversations swirled around as students wondered what to eat.

Meanwhile, Lynette Batton also couldn't decide as she stood next to Leon’s table. “What are we having for lunch?”

“What would you like to eat?” he countered.

She considered for a few seconds. “Why don’t we go to the street food area in the city center for some stir-fried noodles?”

Their mother, Xyla Quest, didn’t particularly spoil them rotten despite them growing up in the Batton family.

They lived their lives much like common folks, and ate anything and everything that normal people ate.

They weren’t picky eaters like other children from wealthy families.

Growing up, Xyla frequently brought them to places with street food in the city center.

She wanted them to experience what it was like to live an ordinary life.

In her words, she wanted her children to behave like ordinary people. She hoped that they could blend in with common folks in society.

Leon nodded when he saw the eager look in his sister's eyes. “Okay, sure.”

After that, he grabbed his car keys and stood up to quickly lead her out of the classroom.

The siblings soon arrived at Street Food Avenue. It was lunch time, so it was understandably crowded.

There were stalls on both sides of the road, and people came and went in the middle.

The long road seemed endless.

The aroma of different food blended together, making everything smell fragrant.

That made Leon and Lynette even hungrier.

She pulled him forward and bought food along the way, nearly eating everything from each stall from beginning to end.

They were the most attractive sight on the crowded street, garnering the attention of others with their good looks and elegant way of eating

Suddenly, everyone was talking about them—

“Are those identical twins idols? They look so good!”

“I don’t think so. If they were idols, then why don’t I know about them since I know all the idols out there?”

"They must be trainees, right?”

“I think they might be actors. Look at their school uniforms. Maybe those are their costumes?”

“I doubt that. Don’t they look more like ordinary students from an exclusive school?”

“Oh god! If they aren’t students, I hope they quickly make a debut. They look fantastic.”

“Don’t you think this boy looks like Josh Batton in certain ways? His demeanor is slightly more aloof than Josh’s.”

People were making various comments on Street Food Avenue.
