Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1600

“Isn’t this what you often keep in your pendant?” Stanley Batton looked at Betty Starmount and asked.

Betty nodded. “Yes…”

After that, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the small bead before placing it in her small pendant.

Her heart was beating extremely fast the entire time.

Betty was genuinely worried that they might see through her façade.

She felt extremely nervous. It was as if something in her would snap at any second.

“This bead… It looks unique. What brand does it belong to?” Xyla casually asked as she glanced indifferently at the bead.

Betty chuckled. “I bought it online. It’s a non-mainstream brand. Do you like it? I could buy it for you if you like it…”

“I don’t wear these things.” Xyla shook her head.

When Betty saw that Xyla and Stanley hadn’t discovered anything unusual, she secretly sighed in relief…

“Oh, right. Our company will be shooting our film soon. There are some decent scripts. I’ll get Georgie to send them to you via email… You can pick one that you like…” Xyla said.

Since Betty was her father’s girlfriend, Xyla still had to treat her decently…

Mainly, it was out of respect for her father.

Xyla knew that her father would be happy if she did this…

Even if Xyla was against their relationship, she had already agreed to them being together. So she couldn’t express anything negative on the surface.

Meanwhile, Betty got close to her father for no reason other than his resources and money…

If Xyla gave Betty some benefits, Betty would also be more caring toward her father.

Compared to many other things, her father’s health and happiness came first.

When Betty heard this, her smile immediately widened. “Thank you, Xyla…” she said.

After going through the itinerary, she looked up at Josh’s face from the side.

His perfect jawline came into sight. On top of that, his intricate facial features from the side immediately left a deep impression on Annabeth’s heart…

Soon, Annabeth began recalling their intimate moments in the past…

Suddenly, her heart began racing wildly.

However, Annabeth quickly forced herself to suppress those vivid memories. Finally, she dragged herself back to reality.

Regardless of how many times she’d seen Josh’s face before, she would still be mesmerized by it…

His face seemed to have a kind of magical power over her.

“Josh… I’d like to brief you on our itinerary today,” Annabeth said.

“Sure.” Josh slowly opened his eyes and shifted his gaze to Annabeth’s face.
