Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2457

“Hmph! Can't do much in school, but I’m warning you. You’d better be careful these days!” the girl warned with her arms crossed as she stalked up to Hannah Roland.

She poked Hannah’s chest with her index finger before strutting away.

Hannah teared up a little as she watched her leave.

The girl was right. She didn’t deserve Leon Batton.

School ended after the physical education class.

On the way home, Lynette Batton wouldn’t stop asking her brother questions.

“Are you planning to pursue that girl, Leon? You can’t hold back anymore, can you? You acted so indifferently previously, but it seems like you’re only human after all,” she said as she grabbed his arm and teased him relentlessly.

“Why do you love gossip so much?” he sighed.

“It’s not that I love to gossip in particular. It depends on the topic of said gossip!” Lynette clarified with a chuckle.

She paused momentarily before continuing to speak.

“Leon Batton, the cold prince of the school, has developed feelings for a girl. Isn’t that something new?”

She became increasingly excited the more she thought about it.

If her brother started to pursue someone openly, perhaps all the girls in the school would be heartbroken.

“Why are you always eager for gossip? You ought to spend your time on something useful instead,” he advised.

He would have lost his patience long ago if it had been anyone else nagging him, but Lynette was his little sister. He had to grin and bear with it.

“You should just tell me if you want me to stop asking you,” she replied with a pout.

Leon stubbornly refused to answer her, so she had no choice but to give up.
