Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1712

Talking about this made everyone feel even worse...

Suddenly, everyone couldn't replace the words to express their jealousy.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tom Sullivan's ashes had already been buried in the Sullivan family's burial plot.

Tom had disappeared from this world.

After walking into her office, Xyla Quest saw the news that Tom had been buried...

She briefly glanced at it.

After that, she summoned staff from each department in the company to gather for a meeting at the conference room...

***

Xyla left work early because she had to accompany Jeremy Quest for dinner...

It was freezing outside.

It hadn't stopped snowing all day.

Every sanitation worker in Atlantis was kept occupied.

After work, Xyla went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the hot pot.

Xyla then gave Stanley Batton a call to tell him that she returned to her father's house for dinner.

After making the call, Xyla carried the stuff she had purchased to the Quest family's house.

The indoors were kept warm at thirty degrees.

On a cold winter day like this, walking into a heated room always made Xyla feel as if she had crossed over from winter to summer...

After removing her coat, she carried the stuff into the living room.

Right then, Jeremy was carefully applying medicine onto Betty Starmount's fingertips.

He gently held onto Betty's wrist with one hand and carefully applied medicine onto her swollen index finger with the other.

To make Betty feel more comfortable, he even used his mouth...

Right then, he was blowing against her wound.

When Xyla saw this, she quickly stepped forward. She put her purse aside and placed the groceries she bought from the supermarket on the ground. "What happened?" She looked at Betty and asked.

"Oh. I accidentally burned myself earlier when I was heating the hot pot base..." Betty said.

After she was done speaking, Betty turned to look at Jeremy's face...

At this moment, Jeremy's movement and the look in his eyes were extremely gentle.

For a moment, Betty lost herself in Jeremy's tenderness.

However, she very quickly recollected herself.

"Be careful next time..." Xyla said.

Xyla could see from her father's behavior that he cared a lot about Betty.

Xyla didn't feel jealous.

As long as her father was happy and Betty was obedient, Xyla was fine with anything.

"I bought some ingredients for the

hot pot, bring them into the

kitchen for the maid to clean up..." With that, Xyla directly entered the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Jeremy finished applying medicine onto Betty's wound.

Betty looked tenderly at Jeremy. "Thank you... Jeremy."

After that, Betty quickly followed Xyla into the kitchen.

Their private chef was busy preparing ingredients for the hot pot inside the kitchen.

He was currently cleaning the ingredients.

There were three pots on the stovetop that were emitting steam.

One contained a spicy red broth, another had a white broth, and t

, which was also boiliet

was covered.

Xyla couldn't see what was inside.
