Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1554

In the next second, the upper portion of the glass was crushed...

The sharp debris from the glass jabbed into Betty Starmount's flesh, making her bleed profusely.

However, Betty didn't react at all. Instead, she recklessly allowed the bleeding to continue...

She was like a cold, walking zombie.

"Xyla Quest..." Betty seemingly spoke through gritted teeth. The cold, murderous look in her eyes immediately caused the temperature on the balcony to drop by several degrees...

At the same time, Rachel Wood was checking out lipsticks at a Chanel store in Goldfield Plaza.

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Rachel's phone started to ring.

Rachel, who was about to reach for a piece of lipstick, immediately pulled her hand away. After that, she glanced at her phone screen.

Her mother was calling...

Rachel quickly picked the call up. "Hello, Mom...'

"Sob-sob... Rachel..." Her mother's voice was hoarse. It sounded like she was crying.

When Rachel heard her mother's voice, she was a little dumbfounded.

Suddenly, Rachel's heart ached. "Mom... What's wrong? Tell me. Did something bad happen?"

"Rachel... Thieves broke into our house. The watches and cash you gave your father and me last time were all stolen... Oh, the family heirlooms passed down for generations in our family have also been stolen...

"In total, it adds up to several hundred thousand dollars... Sob-sob..." Rachel's mother added.

The more Rachel's mother said, the sadder she felt. Her voice also became increasingly hoarse.

As Rachel listened to her mother's sobbing, she felt as if her heart was being cut open. "Mom, don't panic. Have you called the police?"

"Yeah... But they don't care at all," Rachel's mother said.

"What do you mean?" Disbelief filled Rachel's eyes.

"They said that there's no evidence that we own so much stuff... There's also no evidence that we've been robbed. They asked us to look for evidence on our own and go to them after we've found it," Rachel's mother explained.

Rachel felt dubious when she heard those things...

What kind of logic was this?

Were people all so obnoxious these days?

This was like telling her mother that they didn't care at all.

What kind of reasoning was this? How could they not care?

"Your father was so upset at the time. After that, he started arguing with them. They became even more ignorant... They even threatened to lock your father up..." Rachel's mother added.

Hearing these things made Rachel even angrier. "I'll come home in a bit. Let's talk after I get back," Rachel said.

Rachel originally planned to return home to visit her parents after shopping.

At first, she decided to return in the afternoon.

Now that something like this happened at home, she needed to make her way over quickly.

Rachel was worried about her parents.

Although her parents knew that her boyfriend was very financially capable, they still practiced the virtue of being thrifty.

To people like them, who were used to being thrifty, the amount of money lost was undoubtedly a huge sum...
