Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 402

Xyla Quest quickly came back to her senses. "Nothing much. I'm just thinking that your girlfriend is rather lucky."

Stanley Batton looked deeply at Xyla. "Yeah... She sure is."

Hearing this, Xyla's heart pounded a little. She had a stunned expression on her face too.

However, she quickly recovered. "I'll wait for the food in the dining room," she said.

"Are you sure there's nothing on your mind?" Stanley asked with a serious look.

"Yeah... I look terrible because I stayed up late for work," Xyla said before directly turning around and walking into the dining room.

Stanley frowned confusedly. He did not press on for more answers. Instead, he carefully used his chopsticks to flip the bacon strips over on the flat pan.

May Conner's birthday party was unusually grand.

Luxury cars were parked everywhere outside and inside the Quest family's courtyard.

Inside the house, the living room was decorated like a banquet hall.

There were bright and colorful balloons, pure white roses, towering bottles of champagne, a beautiful 18-layer, swan-shaped cake, and melodious waltz tracks playing in the background. All these elements made the living room appear beautiful and dreamy.

Well-known individuals of Atlantis, all dressed in famous branded clothing, were gathered here in groups of three to five while they chatted with each other. Some danced along to the music in pairs on the dance floor.

It was a world of its own, full of excitement.

May Conner was resplendent in a silk, burgundy robe and diamond jewelries worth over a million dollars. She followed Jeremy Quest to toast and socialize with her quests.

At this moment, she was the center of attention.

The first thing Xyla saw when she walked in with Stanley on her arm was May Conner's glowing face. She found the sight a little difficult to look at.

Xyla was also dressed for the occasion, wearing a long, silver, fringed evening gown and a sapphire necklace given to her by Rebecca Robin. Her long curly hair was let down naturally behind her, and she looked like a fairy who had descended to the human realm.

The layer upon layer of silver tassels on her dress swayed back and forth while she moved, glittering brilliantly as they were.

Stanley, on the other hand, was wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt. Without wearing a tie, two buttons below his collar were left open naturally. There was an air of nobility about him, but he seemed casual at the same time.

As soon as the two of them appeared, everyone naturally shifted their attention from May to them.

At this moment, they had become the most attractive people in the room.

Suddenly, people began to flatter Jeremy.

"President Quest, your elder daughter and son-in-law are both divine human beings... I'm really envious."

"Xyla is getting prettier and prettier... Such a fairy-like daughter you have."

"Not only does Xyla look good, but she is unusually capable. I heard that the Quest family's property sales increased by 30% after she entered Quest Group.....”

"Is that so? Never mind that she's good looking, she is even this capable... Jeremy, you are very lucky."

These comments were music to Jeremy's ears. Right then, he felt extremely proud of Xyla. The way he looked at Xyla was also increasingly affectionate.

Mary Sullivan, however, felt extremely annoyed and jealous. She wished she could skin Xyla alive.

While everyone praised them, Xyla walked over to May and Jeremy with her hand on Stanley's arm.

Xyla directly retrieved an exquisite, black velvet box from her silver handbag. "Happy Birthday, Aunty. This is a gift from my husband and I..."

May Conner instantly smiled while she took the jewelry box and opened it.
