《Revenge of the Hideous Lady》全部章節：第 441 章 - 第 450 章

While this was happening, Sharon Lindt was sitting on the sofa, sipping on some milk which she had poured into a European coffee cup. The mouth of the cup had a golden ring, and it shone beautifully under the light. As soon as Catherine Batton walked in, Sharon’s face turned serious. “Catherine Batton, come here right this instant!” Catherine immediately picked up her pace. Her face was almost pale from fear. As she stood in front of Sharon, she lifted both hands in a ‘surrender’ pose and widened her eyes. In a quivering voice, she said, “Mom, I know that I should be studying properly. I shouldn’t have secretly come back to play. I’ve done wrong so please forgive me…” Looking at the sight before her, Sharon felt like laughing but she managed to maintain her strict facade. “And?” “So… Please don’t be angry alright? I promise that I’ll go back to studying after two days. I won’t come back unless it’s during the holidays. I swear that I won’t ditch my studies to come back home u

Emily Quest nodded in response. “It is… Mary, I know I’m the one at fault here… Is there any way you could ever forgive me?” Mary Sullivan sighed. “I’ve actually already forgiven you. No matter how you dice it, you’re still my best friend. My sister. You may have faked your pregnancy but I just can’t seem to stay mad about it. I understand why you did such a thing after all.” Relief washed over Emily after hearing Mary’s words. She hugged Mary, tears trickling down her cheeks. “You’re the best Mary…” Mary gently patted Emily on her back. “Alright, alright… Don’t start crying now… Look at you, you big cry baby… This really isn’t like you.” “Yeah, I don’t feel like myself anymore these days. It’s all Xyla Quest’s fault… Whenever I don’t take my medication now, I instantly feel like dying terribly… Though the medicine definitely helps, a part of me still wants to die.” Emily wept as she said all this, crocodile tears still flowing from her eyes. Mary carefully raised her hands a

While all this was happening, Stanley Batton had just returned home again. Xyla was watching television, her legs crossed as she held a large pack of chips in her arms. On her, was a set of aqua green, casual Hanfu styled clothes made with real silk. White laces were adorned around the hem, the cuffs, and even her trousers. The combination made her skin look white as snow. She didn’t have any makeup on and her long, black, curly hair casually lay on her shoulders. She could have been mistaken as a goddess who had accidentally fallen from the heavens. Stanley silently approached before sitting down next to her. “Why haven’t you gone to bed?” “Hmm… Not sleepy yet.” “Didn’t the doctor tell you to get more rest?” “I’ve been resting on the bed most of the time. It’s boring and unpleasant when I have to do it for long hours at a time. I just want to watch some television for a while,” Xyla said as she smiled. Her eyes moved past him and onto the clock hanging on the wall. An ho

Stanley felt the corners of his lips curve into a faint smile. “Xyla you fool… That’s my blood-related sister.” On the other side of the line, Xyla Quest froze for a brief moment. “…What? Sister?” “Who else could she be? You and my sister are the only ones who I ever behave kindly toward,” Stanley chuckled, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Xyla’s heart was suddenly at ease with just that simple explanation. “She’s just returned from overseas a few days ago. We went shopping that day and had a meal together. I only have one sister and she rarely returns so it was normal for me to want to visit her while she was here.” Xyla continued to be speechless. The heavy chains that had been binding her heart for the past few days were quickly disintegrating. Slowly, she felt her breath return to her. So when they were eating together that day, it was his sister calling? He had just been accompanying his sister all this time and she wasn’t his girlfriend? How did such a major m

Immediately after he ended his sentence, Jeremy Quest continued. “Worry not, Xyla. I’ll deal with him for you.” Xyla simply laughed gently. “Don’t be hasty, dad. The woman in the picture is his blood-related sister.” “What?!” Jeremy was stunned for a moment. “Yes, she’s been studying overseas all this time. Don’t be angry with him anymore, I’m doing very well with my husband,” Xyla explained in a serious but calm voice. “That’s… That’s great to hear…” Jeremy sighed in relief as he slowly calmed down. After she was done explaining, Xyla continued to talk with Jeremy for a while. Nearing the end, the smile on her face faded and she began to furrow her brows again. Once the call ended, Jeremy immediately went to the washroom. Emily Quest could barely hold her excitement and whispered in May Conner’s ear, “Mary Sullivan’s definitely done a good job this time!” May snorted, pleased with the situation. “Let’s see whether that brat can still be as arrogant as she usually is af
