Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1581

Stanley Batton drove his own black Bugatti Veyron and sent Xyla Quest to the Quest family’s house next door.

When the two of them walked through the door, Betty Starmount was standing by the dining room as she gave instructions to the maids. “Be careful… Those are Xyla’s favorite dishes. Don’t spill anything… Those are also Xyla’s favorites… Remember to cover them up after placing them on the dining table. They won’t be nice after getting cold…”

Jeremy Quest sat silently on the couch as he drank his tea and lovingly observed Betty as she prepared frantically for his daughter…

Xyla found this scene somewhat harmonious…

When Betty saw Xyla walking in, she immediately approached Xyla. “Xyla… Stan, you’re here… You’re just in time for breakfast… Get your hands washed, and let’s eat breakfast together…”

Xyla nodded. After that, she looked at Jeremy, who was far away. “Dad, we’re here… We’ll wash our hands first.”

Jeremy and Stanley nodded at each other. After that, Jeremy smiled at Xyla. “Alright, Xyla. Go ahead…”

Xyla then led Stanley into the restroom nearby.

Meanwhile, Jeremy continued to sit where he was as he sipped on his tea.

The maids left the dining room after placing all the food on the table.

When Betty saw this, she gently rubbed the small platinum pendant around her neck before turning around and silently entering the dining room.

The moment Betty entered the dining room, the gentle expression on her face was replaced by a cold and eerie one.

Betty opened the pendant, and a translucent bead fell onto the center of her palm.

She quickly made a hole in it with her long, pink nail and dripped the transparent liquid into a bowl of bird nests with rock sugar…

After that, she left the dining room as if nothing happened and walked into the nearby restroom.

Right then, Xyla and Stanley happened to have finished washing their hands.

Betty immediately walked into the dining room with a satisfied smile on her face…

She picked up an empty white bowl on the dining table and quickly filled it with bird’s nest that had rock sugar added in it…

Betty’s expression turned eerily cold once again when she looked at the glistening bird’s nest with rock sugar.

The eerie coldness faded away approximately three seconds later, and a gentle expression returned to her face.

Smiling pleasantly, Betty returned to Jeremy’s side with the bowl. After that, she slowly sat down and scooped up a spoonful of the bird’s nest before bringing it close to Jeremy’s mouth. “Honey, drink some of this bird’s nest… It tastes delicious…”

Jeremy looked at her with a smile. After that, he obediently opened his mouth and drank the bird’s nest…

Watching his Adam’s apple move instantly put a satisfied smile on Betty’s face.
