Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 696

The elders of the Batton family managed to mostly maintain a serene and courteous front despite their shock. They returned Emily Quest a polite nod.

Nonetheless, the rest of them remained indifferent toward her arrival.

The same was true for Josh Batton, who was usually friendly and humble.

Emily did not care what the others thought about her.

She only cared about her beloved idol’s reaction.

From the second she opened the door, her eyes were able to perfectly capture all the subtle changes in Josh’s expression.

He resented her.

She clearly knew that it was because of Xyla Quest.

Initially, she thought that Josh liked Xyla.

Only today she had learned that Josh was one of the sons of the Batton family. He was Stanley Batton’s sixth brother.

All the tenderness and intimacy that Josh had for Xyla were simply because they were family.

However, even so, she was still jealous of Xyla.

“Can I have your autograph later? I’m a big fan of yours…” Emily asked nervously.

“My company has forbidden us from giving autographs to random fans.” Josh maintained a polite yet distant smile.

It was rare to find such an apathetic look on Josh.

Emily had been one of his biggest fans since a long time ago, and his affability had left a lasting impression on her. She could barely remember seeing such an expression on his face because it was only shown to someone he particularly hated…

Never in life had she imagined that Josh would hate her to such an extent because of Xyla.

Moreover, he had just turned her down in front of everyone.

“Your colleagues aren’t here. No one will know if you secretly give me your autograph…” Emily said again.

She did not want to give up.

She had waited for her whole life to meet Josh and had dinner with him. How could she give up so easily?

Josh smiled. “I have my principle.”
