Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1885

The moment their eyes met, Sophie Kenwick immediately beamed at Sharon Lindt.

Sharon had to admit that the girl was really pretty. Although she wasn't as good-looking as Xyla Quest, she was still pretty by any standards.

It was rare for her to see a girl who was not completely overshadowed next to Xyla.

Sophie's beauty and her sad past made her heart soften even more.

On the surface, however, she still looked stern.

Sharon nodded slightly at Sophie before pointing at the seat next to her. "Come here."

Sophie nervously grabbed Xyla's hand and subconsciously glanced at her.

Xyla had briefly explained to Sophie all about who Sharon was and why she came here.

The younger girl had no idea what Sharon was thinking, except that she didn't like her much.

Xyla smiled. "Don't be afraid. My mother-in-law is a very nice person."

Sophie nodded before taking a seat nervously next to Sharon.

"Nice to meet you...umm," Sophie said hesitantly.

"Since you're Stanley's adopted sister, you are now part of the Batton family. You may call me 'Mom'."

Sharon maintained her stern mannerism.

Sophie nodded obediently. "Yes, Mom."

"Stan, Xyla, can you two head upstairs for a while? I have something to say to Sophie," Sharon announced.

Stanley immediately held Xyla's hand, and the two walked away.

They both knew Sharon very well and knew that she would never hurt the young girl.

However, Sophie, who did not know her at all, felt even more nervous.

Once they had left, Sophie studied Sharon. "Aun-no, I mean, Mom... why did you want to speak with me alone?"

Sharon frowned a little. "Are you Sophie Kenwick?"

Sophie nodded. "Yes, Mom."

"Sophie, I'm fine with Stanley

adopting you as his sister, but I hope you understand one thing. You can

only ever think of him as you can

brother and nothing more.

vel?

"Stanley is only good to you because he thinks of you as his sister. It is out of familial love," Sharon explained, needing to remind the young girl of this.

Sophie nodded again. "Yes, I know, Aunt."

"No- I mean, Mom," Sophie corrected herself in embarrassment.

She now realized why she wanted to speak to her alone.

Sharon wanted to warn her against having any inappropriate thoughts.

"Xyla is my beloved daughter-in-law. Whoever dares to steal her husband away, I would make that person suffer," Sharon added.

Sophie immediately nodded. "Mom, I

know you're worried, but you don't have to be Freally don't have any inappropriate feelings toward my brother I know my place as his sibling. I swear I will never have feelings for him."

Sophie felt happy for Xyla from the bottom of her heart because she had such a wonderful mother-in-law.

She could sense how much Sharon cared about Xyla.

She also knew Xyla held a very important place in the family.

Having a status like this in the family was something Sophie would never dare to imagine back in her previous life.

In the past, there were very few mothers-in-law like Sharon.
