Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2075

"Who told you about that?" Xyla Quest asked.

Sharon Lindt answered truthfully. "A friend of mine owns the place Rachel used to work at. He was the one who told me, but I don't know if Sebastian's family found out about it.

"I think that might be why his parents disapprove of their relationship," she added.

Xyla frowned upon realizing that they couldn't keep it a secret after all.

No matter how hard Sebastian Brenand tried to hide it, the secret still ended up surfacing somehow.

"You have no idea how the women in our circle talk behind each others' backs. They talk about Sebastian and his family all the time. I guess his parents probably couldn't take it any longer," Sharon sighed. "For me, I'd give in no matter how much I disliked the girl as long as my son wants to be with her and nobody else," she went on.

"Not all hostesses are immoral. Some had no other choice. I heard this was the case for Rachel. I also heard that she lost her virginity to Sebastian, and nobody else slept with her after that.

"I can understand if his parents disagreed with their relationship because of her job, but what they did was a bit much. No matter what, their son genuinely loves Rachel. They should offer their blessings instead of trying to keep them apart."

Sharon was an open-minded person when it came to relationships. To her, reputation was not as important as her children's happiness.

If she had to lose her child to maintain her reputation, she'd rather ruin her reputation.

Xyla sighed helplessly. "If only Sebastian's mother could think like you. Things would have turned out much differently.

"However, this is only a hunch. Rachel leaving might not have anything to do with Sebastian's parents. What if it's only a coincidence?"

"No, this can't be a coincidence. Stop trying to defend Sebastian's mother. I know her better than anyone as we grew up together," Sharon said, shaking her head.

Xyla chuckled bitterly before she piled some food on Sharon and Wilson's plates.

Although they were all children from wealthy families, Xyla thought that the Batton family's children had it much better than other kids.

They had more freedom to choose their partners.

If Stanley hadn't needed her blood in the past, Xyla believed that his family wouldn't have forced him to get married.

After being silent for a while, Wilson

let out a sigh and put a piece of mushroom on Xyla's plate. "Oh well, every family has its problems. Parents shouldn't get involved in their children's affairs too much. Reputation may be important, but their children's well-being is even more so."

Xyla laughed. "You're right."

After the meal, Sharon sent Xyla to her room with strict orders to

After taking a bath, she relaxed on her bed and read a book until she began to feel a little tired in the evening.

Putting her book down, she prepared to sleep, but just as she was about to turn off the lights, she heard the sound of a car.

Xyla immediately walked barefoot to the French windows and pulled the curtains apart to have a look.

From afar, she could see Stanley's black Bugatti Veyron coming to a halt, its headlights bathing the surroundings with brightness. Soon, Stanley stepped out of the car.
