Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1548

Jeremy Quest's tone was full of affection for his partner.

His gaze was filled with gentleness.

Xyla Quest had seen such a gentle look in Jeremy's when her mother was still alive.

Xyla also saw it before her father's relationship with May Conner turned sour.

Approximately five minutes later, a slender figure walked down the stairs.

From Xyla's perspective, the first thing she saw was the woman's body-hugging, high-slit dress as well as her long, fair legs concealed beneath it. The woman also had a thin waist and modest breasts. Immediately after that, Xyla saw the woman's long, black, curly hair...

Xyla also saw her exotic face with intricate make-up on.

The woman before Xyla was none other than Betty Starmount, a popular girl from the performing arts department of a film academy, whom Xyla's company had recently signed on.

Betty was the classic example of exotic beauty. Her future was limitless, and she had a tame personality.

The moment Xyla saw Betty, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Xyla never would've guessed that her father's girlfriend would be an artist from her own company.

This girl had a very tame personality. Xyla didn't expect a girl like her to go after an old man in his fifties too.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry looked for older, wealthy men with a single objective in mind. They did it for their other half's resources, and they wanted to be supported.

Xyla always thought that Betty was someone reliable and down-to-earth.

Today, Xyla felt that her opinion of her completely changed.

The moment Betty saw Xyla, she immediately smiled demurely.

After that, she walked over to Jeremy and sat down beside him.

When Betty sat next to Jeremy, she looked like a weak, gentle bird perched next to him.

Her face shone unusually brightly under the light.

At first glance, Betty looked like Jeremy's other daughter.

Xyla felt increasingly disturbed by what she saw.

"Boss... And Mr. Batton, nice to meet you..." Before Jeremy could speak, Betty started speaking first.

Betty behaved in a very straightforward way the entire time.

Xyla couldn't sense any awkwardness on Betty's face.

This girl seemed to have an unusual psychological build.

Xyla smiled a little, but it didn't reach her eyes.

Although Xyla felt dissatisfied, she didn't make it apparent. She also didn't voice it out.

Xyla would speak to her father on her own regarding some issues.

"Don't call her 'boss' at home. Just call her Xyla..." Jeremy said as he looked lovingly at Betty.

The longer Xyla observed this scene, the odder she felt.

In the past, she'd always see her father's friends going after younger female celebrities.

However, Xyla never saw her father with those younger women.

At first, she thought that her father was different from those people.

But today, Xyla realized that he was just a regular guy. He, too, could be tempted.

To be honest, Xyla could understand this.

After all, humans, especially men, were visual creatures by nature.

Who wouldn't like a young, beautiful lady?

After hearing what Jeremy said, Xyla didn't express any emotions on her face apart from a forced smile.

"Xyla... From what I know, Betty is an artist in your company, right..." Jeremy asked as he looked at Xyla with a smile and held Betty's hand.
