Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1870

Upon seeing Stanley Batton’s facial expression grow colder, the women who were against Sophie Kenwick became bolder.

The rich, short-haired woman started adding more negative remarks. “Mr. Batton, you can’t let this poor filth go. She was so awful, casually using your name and attacking other people. You must punish her severely to preserve your dignity.”

“That’s right. Not only could the girl not afford anything, but she even told lies here. I am honestly speechless,” a sales assistant said.

“Mr. Batton, I hope you won’t let her off the hook so easily,” another staff member said.

Stanley’s face suddenly turned unfriendly.

Meanwhile, Sophie smiled helplessly. There was a sense of ease about her expression.

To the others, her reaction was merely her attempt at keeping up with appearances, pretending to be calm when in reality, she should be panicking on the inside.

Judging from Stanley’s reaction, they had high expectations that Sophie would be in trouble.

Instead, she silently watched them behave with interest.

The way they pandered to her brother when it suited them was identical to how the servants did the same to her father in the past.

Honoring more influential people was a human trait that had never changed since ancient times.

It was also the case for bullying the weak but fearing the strong.

Sophie shook her head helplessly.

The short-haired woman rolled her eyes at her. “Why are you still so arrogant? Mr. Batton is here, and yet you’re still putting up an act. Do you think he would forgive you so easily? Be careful, or you won’t even know what might befall you.”

When Stanley heard this, his face turned icy.

With a deep frown on his face, he turned to look at Sophie.

“Come here,” he said softly.

At that moment, everyone fell silent.
