Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2153

Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards gasped when they heard this. They were taken aback by how wealthy the Batton family was.

They felt even more remorseful about the money spent.

They didn’t expect these supplements would cost so much.

Annabeth Cates smiled and hugged them both. “They insisted on such lavish gifts, and I couldn’t stop them.”

“Annabeth, there’s no way you’ll find a better family,” her father said incredulously.

“You have to be thankful to them,” Peggy stated.

She nodded in agreement, feeling embarrassed when she thought about it, too. “Yeah, you’re right.”

Chuckling, her mother ruffled her hair. “Your father and I are so happy that you get to live such a good life, Annabeth.”

They never dreamed that their daughter, who looked ordinary at best, could marry into an ultra-wealthy family like the Battons or that they could one day cross paths with a family that they only heard from myths.

“I’m very happy too," she declared softly with a contented smile. "You two should eat or drink whatever you like and spend the money I give you as you wish. Don’t worry about me. I have everything I need. Just make sure you look after yourselves.”

Her parents nodded.

They might appear to agree, but they didn’t think so in their hearts.

Annabeth could be living very well right now, but they still wanted to prepare for a rainy day, so they decided to save up on her behalf.

That way, if she ever found herself unhappy in the Batton family, she could still return to them.

By then, they would’ve saved enough for their daughter to live luxuriously for the rest of her life.
