Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1584

Betty Starmount was much too curious about the hostilities between her master and Xyla Quest... However, since her master forbade her to feel curious, she had to stop herself from feeling curious... That was because if her master didn't want her to replace out about something, she couldn't do so.

Due to her good mood today, Betty specifically changed into a bright, pink navel hoodie that matched her working pants of the same color...

Betty also wore a pair of white flats...

Her hair was pulled back naturally into a tall ponytail that made her appear vibrant...

Once Betty had gotten changed, she put on some light make-up and headed downstairs.

When Jeremy Quest saw Betty coming down, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand. After that, he walked up to her with a smile on his face. "You look stunning..." He complimented.

Betty leaned affectionately against Jeremy's shoulder and smiled. "Honey, can you ask Xyla to come over for dinner tonight? I want to bond with Xyla..." Betty could only get more opportunities to poison Xyla if she came home often...

"Alright... As you wish," Jeremy said.

"In that case, can you ask if Xyla comes home tonight? Then, ask her to come home for breakfast and dinner every day, will you? That way, we'll be able to bond more easily..." Betty said.

With that, Betty held Jeremy's face and stared into his eyes...

Subconsciously, Jeremy also looked into Betty's eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Betty immediately chanted a spell of obedience in her heart.

Meanwhile, Jeremy immediately wanted to obey Betty's command.

He quickly nodded. "Sure... Anything you want..."

"Alright... It's been decided then. You must tell Xyla what I said today..." Betty added.

"Alright... Let's head out then..." Jeremy nodded.

"Okay..." Betty never once moved away from Jeremy. Instead, she grabbed Jeremy tightly by his arm with both hands.

***

After the morning meeting at Quest Group was over, Xyla Quest returned to her office...

As soon as she walked into her office, she received a call from Jeremy.

Jeremy asked her to return home for dinner. His reason was that he missed her.

Xyla knew that it was probably Betty who wanted to get close to her. That was why Betty had intentionally asked Xyla's father to call her.

Although Xyla wanted to say yes because she cared about what her father thought, she honestly had things to do at night. She couldn't return home. Hence, Xyla rejected Jeremy. On top of that, Xyla also said that she would return home for breakfast tomorrow morning.

After the call ended, Xyla shifted her attention back to work.

She needed to work more hastily. There was an interview at eight o'clock tonight for herself and every member from Team XS at Atlantis TV.

Initially, this interview was supposed to take place a few days ago.

However, something came up at home for the team's Mid Solo. Since he couldn't make it, the interview was postponed until now...

They really couldn't keep dragging on.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to come up with a reasonable excuse for the television station.

Honesty and integrity were vital in business.

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing.

Yaksha's name appeared on the screen.

Xyla immediately picked up the call. "Yaksha... How can I help you?"
