Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 176
“Five Batton, don’t force me to take out cash from the ATM.” Xyla was adamant about returning the money. Giving no response, he continued to push the cart forward as if there was a barrier around him, shutting everyone out. Once at home, the two unpacked everything they bought, putting them in their rightful places. After that, they sat on the snow-white carpet, taking the cleaning robots out of their boxes and putting one on each floor. When everything was done, both returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa. Stanley took out his phone, opened up the Gentleman’s Club chat room, and read the chat records with an impassive look on his face. Once inside, he saw himself tagged in dozens of messages. More than ten of them were only tags without content. Frowning slightly, he kept his composure as he continued to scroll up. Only then did he finally realize what they were talking about and why they were so excited. Slender fingers swiftly typed in words. “… any

Carefully cleaning her wound with the cotton ball, Stanley kept blowing cold air at it. He was as tender as an antique duster. A surge of warmth spread inside her heart when she looked up to see his focused gaze. “How is it? Does it hurt?” he asked. “It doesn’t.” Xyla shook her head. “Don’t use your hands to pick those up next time.” “Okay.” After that, he tossed the cotton ball away and meticulously wrapped her wound with a band-aid. His actions were swift and gentle. “Done. Don’t get your wound wet for a period of time, okay?” He looked serious as ever. Xyla nodded, standing up. “I’ll go and clean up the glass shards.” “I’ll go.” He got up and walked into the washroom. Xyla sat back down on the sofa and surfed Weibo. Weibo’s hottest search ranking was just as interesting as before. Upon entering, the searches were all about scandals involving Emily Quest, Tom Sullivan, and the Sullivan Group. The news was just as intense as before. She couldn’t help wonder

“What?” Stanley Batton asked as he slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla Quest’s face.“Are you really planning on not accepting the money in WeChat?” Xyla was determined to return the money to Five Batton.“I don’t want it,” Stanley answered without hesitation.As soon as he finished speaking, Xyla reached out to his phone so that she could accept the money on his behalf.However, before she could even touch the phone, Stanley reflexively raised his phone high into the air.“Can you not behave like this?” Xyla asked in softly as she frowned helplessly.“No,” Stanley said before letting go of the phone.Immediately, the phone began falling. Stanley was able to catch it with his other hand. He then unlocked the phone with a single hand before he continued to read the news.It happened so quickly, almost as if Stanley did not even need to think about it.Xyla was amazed by how Stanley was able to move so agilely. It was the first time she had seen something like this.This man in fron

“…” Xyla Quest was at a loss for words suddenly.“I’ll pay attention next time. What are we having for dinner?” Stanley Batton changed the subject smoothly.“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it,” Xyla said. She seemed completely unaware of the wound on her hand.Stanley had never met a girl like her from a wealthy family who was nowhere close to being effeminate.“What do you want to eat?” Stanley asked.“I’m fine with anything. Just tell me what you want. I’ll make it,” Xyla repeated.“Stay here,” Stanley said before turning around and walking toward the kitchen with a smile.“What about your elbow?” Xyla asked.“It’s fine,” he said.“I’ll help you out,” Xyla said before getting up and running after him.However, as soon as she arrived by the door, the kitchen door was shut in her face.After that, Stanley locked the door from the other side.“Be careful with your elbow,” Xyla said softly once she heard the clicking sound of the lock.However, Stanley did not reply to her.By now, X

“You don’t have to apologize to me. I will never forgive you,” Jeremy Quest said mercilessly as he glared coldly at Emily Quest, who was kneeling in front of him.How long had it been since she came out of prison? Wasn’t it too late for her to think of apologizing to him now?Did she even remotely seem apologetic?“Dad, I’m already kneeling in front of you. Please forgive me,” Emily tried to force tears out of her eyes.After that, she made herself appear pitiful.“I was young and dumb. That’s why I did those things to my elder sister. I promise I will never do it again. Dad, please. I’m begging you. Forgive Mom and me. Mom really was innocent. I wanted to come home and apologize to you a long time ago. However, you know that a lot has happened to the Sullivan family. I really couldn’t find the time. Now, I’m already in a horrible state. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll feel even worse. Are you really willing to put me through that?” Emily stammered.Who could possibly be in a worse state

“Emily, I’ve got an idea,” May Conner said as a sly look appeared in her eyes. She looked around at the living room to check if anyone was near.“What is it?” Emily Quest moved her head a little closer to May.***Still full of anger, Jeremy Quest walked all the way to Xyla Quest’s house and stopped in front of the door.Since it felt suffocating to stay in his own house, Jeremy did not want to go back for now. Therefore, he thought of spending the night in his elder daughter’s home.Now, Xyla’s home was the only safe and warm place for him.Jeremy pressed the doorbell.“Ding-dong… Ding-dong…”Xyla and Stanley Batton were still eating in the dining room. When they heard the doorbell, Stanley was the first to stand up.“I’ll get the door,” he said.“Let me do it. You can continue eating,” Xyla stood up directly before walking over to the entrance area. She looked at the monitor to see who it was.When Xyla saw her father’s face, she was a little taken aback. She had not expec

“Of course not, Dad. You can stay with us for as long as you like,” Xyla replied with a smile. The two began walking inside as they spoke.When the warm air hit her, Xyla felt warmer.“Okay. I’ll stay here for the night,” Jeremy Quest said.When Stanley Batton heard their voices, he smiled thoughtfully.After putting down his chopsticks, Stanley immediately walked over to the entrance and stood politely in front of Jeremy.“Dad, you’re here,” he said.Stanley then retrieved a pair of slippers from the shoe rack before placing it in front of Jeremy’s feet.When Jeremy saw this, he felt a warm sensation spread in his heart. The thoughts that clouded his mind a moment ago instantly faded away.Although his son-in-law did not come from a wealthy family like Tom Sullivan’s, he was much better than Tom in many other aspects.Tom was nowhere near as thoughtful as Stanley was in how he treated Jeremy.When had Tom ever shown such gestures to Jeremy?When Xyla saw how Stanley behaved, she felt

With Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton working together, they were able to get the bed set up very quickly.Right then, Jeremy Quest entered the room.“You two are rather efficient. Not bad,” he said.“You are very efficient, too,” Xyla said and chuckled.“Alright. I won’t get in the way of what you two are doing together. Hurry up and go back to your room. I’m going to practice Tai Chi for a while on my own,” Jeremy said after he laughed.“Okay… We are going back to our room then. Goodnight, Dad,” Xyla said.When Stanley heard this, he naturally reached for Xyla’s hand and left the room with her.“Goodnight,” Jeremy said as he walked them out and watched as they left.Xyla led Stanley into her room.Her room was grandly decorated. The wallpapers were of different shades of pink. It was a luxurious design meant for teenage girls.As soon as they entered the room, Xyla felt embarrassed.Her bras were scattered all over her bed. She must have left them there when she cleaned her room up befo
