Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1667

Besides, Sharon Lindt felt that Annabeth Cates must have been thinking the same thing.

"Also, you've lived such a dark and horrid life in this small town for the longest time. I believe you'd want to leave this place for a new one, don't you?" Sharon asked. Her words gradually tempted Cindy Schumer...

However, Cindy's pride and ego were still urging her not to agree.

"Cindy, to be honest, I think Aunt Lindt's suggestion is a good one..." Annabeth felt convinced too.

"Alright, it's been decided... Let's not talk about this further. As for which job you'll take up, we'll arrange it once you get to Atlantis," Sharon said irrefutably.

"It's really fine..." Cindy shook her head again.

"Weren't you very thankful to us for helping you? If that's the case, you must do as we say. Otherwise, we won't help you..." Sharon insisted.

Suddenly, Cindy couldn't replace the words to respond...

She felt caught in the middle.

"It's been decided," Wilson Batton chipped in.

Seeing how the Batton family acted, Bobby liked them even more.

He saw kindness and benevolence in each of them.

"But I really don't want to go..." Cindy seemed exasperated.

"If you don't want to go, we won't help you get rid of that jerk. So do as you see fit." Sharon knew very well what Cindy was thinking. Hence, she knew that she needed to make this decision for Cindy. After much consideration, Cindy finally agreed with a nod.

While everyone was chatting, somebody suddenly pushed the ward's door open.

Immediately after that, an older woman with gray hair ran in with reddened eyes.

This woman was Annabeth's mother, Peggy Howards.

When Peggy saw the state her niece and Bobby were in, she started crying.

After that, Peggy walked over to Cindy first. "Cindy, are you alright? How could that jerk be so cruel?"

Cindy shook her head. "I'm fine now, Aunt Howards... Thank you for worrying about me."

"Oh, poor child..." Peggy sighed as she wiped her tears away.

She then sat next to Bobby. "What about you? Are you alright? That jerk really deserves to die."

"Alright... I'm fine now. Don't worry.

Why are you here?" Bobby asked t

His eyes were full of gentleness and affection when he looked at Peggy.

"The old lady downstairs called and told me you and Cindy were both beaten up. After that, you were taken away by Annabeth... I was about to

call and ask when that old ladet

called me again. Her daughter, who works here as a nurse, said that you all came to this hospital. That's why I rushed over right away." Peggy said.

Peggy then turned to look at Josh Batton, Sharon, and Wilson.

When their eyes met, all three members of the Batton family smiled at Peggy simultaneously.

"You're Josh, I recognize you... What

about

you two? Are you his

parents?" Peggy looked at them and

asked.

After that, Sharon took the initiative to step forward and introduce herself and her husband.

Once everyone had gotten to know each other, they politely shook hands.
