Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 407

Jeremy Quest couldn’t resist raising his thumb. “Xyla, you are truly excellent. Indeed, you live up to the expectations I have for you as my heir.”

“To be honest, it’s probably because she liked the way I looked,” Xyla said. This was the only reason Xyla could think of if she had to provide an explanation.

“Regardless of what the reason is, I still think you are amazing,” Jeremy complimented her yet again. He seemed very proud of Xyla.

“Yeah, Xyla is amazing. But you should be careful when interacting with people like her. If you make a wrong move, you might end up dragging the entire family business down,” May said and smiled at Xyla while she pretended to be concerned.

Xyla looked at May calmly while she replied to her. “Okay… Thank you for the reminder, Aunty. I know what to do. If there’s nothing else, Aunty, we’ll be heading back. I need to get ready to go over to the vice president’s residence tonight.”

“Okay, okay… Oh right, Xyla. I want to buy you a new race car… Don’t you like Maserati? Why don’t you come with me to check it out when you’re free?” Jeremy asked kindly.

When May heard this, she became even more jealous of Xyla.

Why did Jeremy only mention buying Xyla a car? Why didn’t he say he would buy one for Emily Quest too? Did he think of Emily as May’s daughter with another man?

“Okay, thank you, Father.”

After returning to her villa, Xyla removed her high heels and changed into comfortable white slippers.

Having worn high heels for too long, her soles were aching badly. The moment she changed into flat shoes, Xyla suddenly felt as if she had been resurrected from the dead.

After instantly letting out a long sigh, she sat down on the couch.

Stanley Batton changed his shoes before walking over to the couch.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Right then, his phone started to vibrate.
