Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1554

In the next second, the upper portion of the glass was crushed…

The sharp debris from the glass jabbed into Betty Starmount’s flesh, making her bleed profusely.

However, Betty didn’t react at all. Instead, she recklessly allowed the bleeding to continue…

She was like a cold, walking zombie.

“Xyla Quest…” Betty seemingly spoke through gritted teeth. The cold, murderous look in her eyes immediately caused the temperature on the balcony to drop by several degrees…

At the same time, Rachel Wood was checking out lipsticks at a Chanel store in Goldfield Plaza.

Beep, beep, beep—

Right then, Rachel’s phone started to ring.

Rachel, who was about to reach for a piece of lipstick, immediately pulled her hand away. After that, she glanced at her phone screen.

Her mother was calling…

Rachel quickly picked the call up. “Hello, Mom…’

“Sob-sob… Rachel…” Her mother’s voice was hoarse. It sounded like she was crying.

When Rachel heard her mother’s voice, she was a little dumbfounded.

Suddenly, Rachel’s heart ached. “Mom… What’s wrong? Tell me. Did something bad happen?”

“Rachel… Thieves broke into our house. The watches and cash you gave your father and me last time were all stolen… Oh, the family heirlooms passed down for generations in our family have also been stolen…

“In total, it adds up to several hundred thousand dollars… Sob-sob…” Rachel’s mother added.
