Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1717

Right then, Jeremy Quest and Betty Starmount were sitting together and watching the television.

There was a huge plate of fruits in front of them, but neither touched any of it.

When Betty saw Xyla Quest walking in, she quickly approached Xyla. “How did it go?” Betty asked worriedly.

“She’s fine now. The doctor said she’ll just have to be observed and receive treatment for a while. After that, she’ll be able to recover,” Xyla said.

“Her eyeball was scratched… It’s pretty bad,” Xyla added.

Betty felt chills down her spine when she heard this. “Oh my god… That’s truly scary,” she said.

Although she appeared terrified, she was very calm on the inside.

She didn’t think this was a big deal at all.

The woman was only a maid. So, what if she died?

“How did she get scratched?” Jeremy also walked up to Xyla. He naturally wrapped his arm around Betty’s waist…

“We don’t know what it is. There’s fur beneath her eye. I’ll go to an expert to get it verified…” Xyla said.

“Okay… I’ve looked through the surveillance footage in the house multiple times. No animal was detected around that timestamp…

“On top of that, I’ve also asked the subordinates in the house to look everywhere inside and outside. They didn’t find any animals…” Jeremy added.

“Animals are much more intelligent than humans. When they realize humans are searching for them, they’ll certainly hide well… They won’t let themselves be discovered…

“As for the surveillance cameras, there are blind spots. Besides, if that thing hides behind trees or bushes, the cameras wouldn’t be able to pick it up either,” Xyla said earnestly.

“Since we can’t find this thing using the conventional method, we’ll have to go to an expert with this thing’s fur. We’ll find out exactly what it is before using the right method to deal with it. After that, we’ll try to lure this thing out,” Xyla said.

“I think this thing might have already escaped… So what’s the point in doing this?” Betty asked.

“What if it hasn’t?” Xyla asked.

Betty immediately nodded. “That’s true. We should probably still get to the bottom of things…”

“Get the bodyguards to patrol outside the house. Be careful when you head out, too,” Xyla said.

“Alright, I know, my darling,” Jeremy said while nodding obediently.

Jeremy felt that whatever Xyla said made sense…
