Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 967

She felt safe whenever she was with him.

In fact, she was not that worried about her safety.

Her life might be in danger, but she had him. She was not afraid of anything when he was around.

“The upright need not fear the crooked. Trust me. We’ll get through this.” Xyla Quest looked as determined as ever.

“Yeah.” Stanley hugged her tightly again.

Ron was pleased to look at the intimacy between the lovely couple.

However, it did not ease his worries.

He feared that something terrible was going to happen to Xyla.

He was on tenterhooks because he cared about her.

Xyla got along well with everyone in the Batton family. She was the apple of their eyes. They could not bear losing her.

“Alright. I’ll go find Dad first.” Xyla pushed Stanley away and admonished him, “Take care of Grandpa.”

“I will.” Stanley smiled and gently stroked her hair.

Xyla headed straight to parlor No.1 once she reached the funeral home.

She was surprised to find that all her family and friends were still at the parlor.

Everyone was sitting on the sides of the parlor, praying sincerely for May Conner and Emily Quest.

On the other hand, Jeremy Quest was sitting in front of their coffins with his head down, his face all somber.

“This guy must be a powerful man. Otherwise, he couldn’t have sneaked into jail and kill the two of them at once. Judging from the poison he used, I believe that faking their deaths as hemorrhage or suicide is easy-peasy to him,” Xyla explained.

Jeremy nodded and took a deep breath, trying to digest the breaking news. He then quickly recollected himself and turned to Xyla. “Do what you’re supposed to do. I support you.”

He could not help gritting his teeth when he thought of the ‘master’.

He frowned and sighed annoyedly, “I seriously can’t believe that this is real… Xyla, why would someone do such things to harm you? This is unbelievable!”

This guy really was vicious!

“Dad, we’ve never stepped on anyone’s toes, right?” Xyla’s eyes were brimming with curiosity.

“No,” Jeremy answered without a second thought.

“This guy might be your competitor or the Batton family’s competitor in the business world. No matter who he is, I’ll definitely dig him up one day,” Xyla said without turning a hair.
