Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 545

Xyla Quest smiled and nodded at the guests before shifting her gaze to Bailey Ronson and May Conner without turning a hair.

When Xyla met their eyes, they still had not gotten over the failure of their plan, exposing their sour and sulky faces to her.

Satisfaction set in as she managed to catch sight of their sullen expressions.

“Xyla, Stan, you guys are incredible! Did the two of you practice this together before?” Jeremy Quest looked at Xyla and Stanley as he asked, his eyes filled with joy.

Xyla shook her head in response. “Nope, this is our first time singing and playing Chinese zither together. To be honest, I didn’t expect us to work so well together.”

Fondness for the couple was written all over Jeremy’s face. “Both of you are gifted, indeed.”

Turning around delightedly, Jeremy looked at Bailey standing behind him and asked, “How was it? Do you still think that Xyla is lying to you?”

Bailey laughed awkwardly. “Hey, I never think that Xyla is lying. I suggested Stan to sing on the stage because I believe in her.”

Jeremy’s response was to simply snort. Without saying anything else, he turned away from her and focused his attention on Xyla and Stanley again.

His attitude had triggered Bailey.

Though anger welled up in her chest, she forced herself to hide it due to the presence of so many guests. Trying to maintain her calm facade, she walked over to Jeremy and placed her right hand on the table to support herself. “Well, you’re really lucky to have such an excellent son-in-law.”

“Oh, you flatter me,” replied Jeremy indifferently.

“By the way, I invited a brilliant philanthropist to your charity dinner today. He loves charity. He said that he’ll donate one hundred fifty thousand today to support your effort in doing charity…” Bailey said again.

Jeremy was skeptical for a few seconds. “Are you serious?”

Bailey nodded. “Of course. I met this guy overseas some time ago. You’ll find out whether I’m serious once he’s here.”

“If you’re not joking, I would like to thank you for helping me.” Jeremy showed his gratitude.

“Thank me for what? We’re all part of the Sullivan family, and we should always help each other. Besides, I really hope that I can do something for the children with congenital disorder.”

Following that statement, Bailey shifted her gaze to Xyla and Stanley. “Speaking of which, I think Stan should know this person.”
