Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1672

There was a saying that poor people would be ignored, while rich people would be approached by the most distant of relatives. Annabeth Cates could finally relate to this.

Back when they were poor, very few people visited them during festive seasons apart from close relatives...

On top of that, very few people would take the initiative to call and ask them how they were doing.

People did anything to avoid them...

That was because they were poor. Hence, everyone was afraid that they would try to borrow money from them.

Now that Annabeth was in a relationship with Josh, everyone felt that she had gotten rich. All of them wanted to get closer to her family now...

At this moment, Annabeth couldn't help but sigh at how materialistic people were.

Up until now, she still couldn't forget the condescending looks on her relatives' faces when her parents went for family gatherings.

Annabeth also couldn't forget how her ex-classmates looked down on her when she joined them at reunion parties.

Overnight, everything had changed because she was now with Josh.

People who once looked down on her family now tried to approach them...

They seemed to want something from her family.

When Annabeth thought of this, she immediately shook her head helplessly...

To avoid disturbing the Batton family while eating, Annabeth switched off her phone for peace and tranquility.

Her mother, Peggy, did the same.

After the two of them had switched off their phones, the entire world became quiet again.

Having experienced a lot in life, Sharon naturally knew what was going on. Hence, she didn't say too much.

Peggy couldn't resist complaining. "People are so materialistic..."

Although those relatives were quite annoying, Peggy felt a little proud that they were now trying to suck up to her when they used to ignore her. Knock, knock, knock-

Right then, somebody knocked on the door.

Peggy immediately stood up. "Continue eating. I'll get the door..."

After that, Peggy quickly walked to the door to open it.

A large group of relatives and friends contacted them in

Among them, many used to taunt their family when they were poor.

Peggy felt cold in her heart when she saw them.

However, she still spoke to them politely out of courtesy. "Why are you here?"

"Haven't we not seen each other for years? I came to see you..."

"Me too, me too. I miss you."

"How many years has it been? I was too busy in the past. I finally have time now."

"I heard your daughter's boyfriend and future parents-in-law are all

Peggy suddenly felt a little speechless.

Too many of them were speaking at once, and it gave her a headache.

The noise soon made its way to the dining room.

Annabeth felt extremely helpless when she heard them.

Annabeth subconsciously looked at i family. "About that, you

Sharon nodded with a smile.

After that, Annabeth awkwardly walked to Peggy's side and looked at everyone.

"Why don't you all come inside first?" Peggy said politely.

"Sure, sure..."

After that, a large group of relatives and friends barged in through the door.
