Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 297

After that, Stanley Batton found a black switch. Once he flicked it upward gently, the lights came on.

Xyla Quest subconsciously squinted when the strong rays of light suddenly appeared.

“It’s done…” Stanley slowly turned off the torchlight on his phone and looked at her.

Under the bright light, Stanley’s naked upper body became fully visible.

Xyla immediately pushed his hand away and looked down while she walked over to the couch.

“Get changed, and we’ll head over to my father’s house for dinner…” Xyla said.

Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he silently walked up the stairs.

When Xyla and Stanley walked onto the street outside, they could see a sea of red lanterns hung all around them.

Slowly, Stanley drove them into the Quest family’s villa compound.

The courtyard was also brightly lit with red lanterns.

Many cars were parked in front of the main building.

As the doors were open, people in the courtyard could clearly hear people talking and laughing inside.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, May Conner’s relatives would all come over to celebrate with the Quest family over dinner. Xyla was very much used to this.

Although she did not like them, she could never show it.

When Xyla and Stanley walked through the doors, they could feel an air of warmth. May, Jeremy Quest, and groups of men and women of all ages were gathered around.

At one glance, Xyla could see at least thirty people, all of whom she recognized.

Everyone was eating melon seeds, chatting, and drinking tea. It made her feel like an outsider.
