Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2390

The man’s wife also began to speak then, but Leon Batton ignored her, silently waiting for someone from his family to arrive.

“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to say anything? Are you afraid? I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize. After that, go ahead and lick my son’s shoe. Perhaps I'll spare some of your family members who would be arriving later," the man added.

His words grew harsher each time he spoke, intentionally challenging Leon and Lynette Batton’s limits.

Lynette began to laugh as well, gazing at the adult bully with slightly reddened eyes. “If you’re smart, you should kneel and apologize to us instead. Then, when my family arrives, I will consider asking them to forgive you.

“This opportunity won’t come knocking twice. I promise you will regret it later,” she added.

“Exactly,” her brother interjected.

Their words seemed to amuse the man further as he started laughing helplessly. “Haha! You sure are brave. Are you trying to intimidate me? Did you really think I’d be intimidated by you two?

“I don’t care who comes over today. I won’t be afraid. I’ll chop my head off for you to use as a stool if I show any signs of fear. I’ve met all sorts of people over the years. Do you think I give a d*mn about your family?” he said in his condescending tone.

Xyla Quest arrived just in time to overhear the man’s arrogant speech and see his furious expression inside the principal’s office.

Witnessing the way he spoke to her children instantly made her upset.

Where did this jerk come from, anyway?

How could he speak to two defenseless children like that? Was he even a man?

Nudging her sunglasses upward, Xyla strode into the office. “Is that so?”

Everyone fell silent when they saw her.

At that moment, she appeared delicate, but there was an intimidating aura surrounding her that made people wary.
