While looking at Betty Starmount, Xyla Quest thought to herself that it was no wonder her father would fall in love with this woman at first sight.
When Betty saw Xyla walking through the doors, she immediately smiled and walked up to Xyla. “Boss… Xyla…”
“Hmm, do you have time?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah, I do.”
“Come with me…” Xyla said.
With that, Xyla led Betty onto the large balcony.
The kitchen window was left open. Cold breezes blew in, dissipating the oily scent inside. It made one feel very comfortable.
Xyla held onto the safety railing with one hand as she looked at Betty. “Betty… I can accept you being with my father. I know why you’re with him…
“If you want resources, I can give them to you. If you want money, I can also give it to you… But the precondition is that you must play your role as my father’s significant other. Be by his side, and don’t do anything to hurt him…
“Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died…” Xyla said the cruelest things with the gentlest tone possible.
After saying that, Xyla smiled prettily. However, her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Although Xyla was smiling, it made one feel eerily cold.
Xyla needed to make these things clear to Betty.
She wanted Betty to consider her actions carefully before doing anything.
The last thing Xyla wanted to see was for her father to get hurt.
However, Betty immediately chuckled. “Would you believe me if I said I’m not doing it for the money?”
“I don’t.” Xyla’s face turned even colder.
In its place, there was an incomparably cold expression.
The gentleness in her eyes also disappeared.
A murderous and scheming look replaced it…
After sneering silently, Betty clenched her fists tightly and began thinking to herself. “Xyla Quest… Let’s see who will end up dead…”
Once Betty was done thinking about this in her mind, her incomparably gentle expression returned. After that, she turned around and returned to the kitchen. Then, like a kind mother, she brought her carefully-made dish to the dining room…
After scanning around, Betty silently removed the small, platinum pendant around her neck and opened it.
She then retrieved a translucent bead and quickly punctured it.
Betty dripped the transparent liquid onto the braised pork dish. After that, she held the bead’s outer shell in her hand and calmly walked away. She seemed unusually calm…
