Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 969

The fake bodies they found replaced Emily Quest and May Conner’s corpses to be cremated at eight o’clock the following day.

At noon, countless guests had arrived at the funeral home to watch the burial ceremony. Tears and silent anguish accompanied the substitutes’ ashes into the grave.

After the burial, the crowd placed bouquets around the graves and started a prayer with Jeremy Quest taking the lead.

The funeral ceremony officially ended a few minutes later.

Jeremy, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton took the guests to a fancy hotel downtown for lunch.

They finished the meal at around third o’clock in the afternoon.

After sending off the guests, Xyla and Stanley drove Jeremy back to the Quest family’s house.

Jeremy drowned in raw agony and sorrow even after he went home. His face was as pale as chalk.

Xyla and Stanley carefully helped him to the couch in the living room.

Jeremy could not stop sighing as he sank onto the couch. He grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee table, pulled out a cigarette, and then placed it between his lips.

However, before he could even light the cigarette, Xyla took away the cigarette and admonished him, “Smoking is bad for health. You should stop smoking.”

Xyla had lost count of how many times he had smoked yesterday.

She was not going to let him smoke anymore.

Jeremy nodded obediently instead of rebuking her. He leaned against the couch exhaustedly, questioning Stanley with his eyes closed, “Stan, where did you find those two bodies?”

“They’re two unclaimed bodies at the funeral home,” Stanley answered truthfully. “I’ve found an experienced detective, Carson Ritzer, to investigate Aunt May and Emily’s death. I believe that we’ll find out who that ‘master’ is real soon.”

Xyla and Jeremy were surprised to hear the detective’s name.

Carson was the world’s No.1 detective. He had solved countless bizarre cases.
