Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1701

It all felt new to Annabeth Cates.

"If you talk about the Cates family behind their backs again, I won't let you off the hook," Xyla Quest warned. Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm.

." The two women nodded respectfully but remained silent.

When Annabeth heard this, she could immediately guess why Xyla was upset.

Suddenly, she felt extremely grateful on the inside.

The better she got to know Xyla, the more she understood why Stanley Batton and Josh Batton were head over heels in love with her.

That was because Xyla wasn't only good-looking, but she was also an upright person.

Even Annabeth herself, despite being a woman, was soon falling for Xyla, let alone the two men.

Xyla was a good-looking, fit, upright, generous, intelligent, and well-educated lady from a wealthy family. Who wouldn't like her?

Xyla wasn't an ordinary girl like Annabeth could compare to.

When Xyla lifted her head, she saw Annabeth looking at her like a fangirl who was stunned in place.

Seeing this, Xyla's cold expression immediately faded away. She approached Annabeth with a smile and held her hand. "Annabeth, why aren't you dancing?"

"I'm tired... I saw that the tiramisu cake looked good. So I brought you and Stanley some..." Annabeth said.

Xyla carefully took the two plates from Annabeth when she heard this. "Thank you..."

"I should be the one thanking you. They were talking about my family behind my back, weren't they? Thank you for standing up on their behalf...

"I know my family members don't act like other people around here, but it's only because they haven't seen much of the world.

"That's why they replace everything in a place like this new and exciting. They like all the food..." Annabeth explained earnestly.

"Nothing is embarrassing about it. Being curious about the world is a good thing..." Xyla said casually.

Xyla's extremely high emotional quotient and comforting words made Annabeth feel at ease.

"Let's go. We'll sit over there and chat..." Xyla nodded in the direction of the coffee table.

"Sure..." Annabeth was very glad.

After that, Xyla held the two plates of

tiramisu.

and led Annabeth over to the coffee table before

down. inver

Xyla put down the plates and looked around...

Right then, everyone seemed occupied. Some danced, while others chatted and drank.

The place was lively.

The dazzling lights made one feel a little dizzy.

"Ms. Quest... No, I mean Xyla. You're

such a nice person..." Annabeth

swno.ne

wasn't hiding the fact that she liked Xyla.

"You're a very nice person too. I like you a lot." Xyla chuckled before holding Annabeth's hand.

By the time the ball ended, it was already late at night...

After sending their guests off, Annabeth got into the private helicopter the Batton family had arranged for her and Josh. They wayed at the crowd and departed

for their honeymoon.

Meanwhile, Xyla and Stanley took a private car to the international airport.

They then took a private jet back to Atlantis.

When everyone arrived at Atlantis, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

The weather was warm despite it being winter, and indeed it was unusually good weather.

As soon as the couple got out of the jet, they were stunned by what they saw... Suddenly, everyone subconsciously looked at the center of the airport lobby...
