Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1991

Georgie Clementine shrugged helplessly.

"Fine, we'll eat at home," Henry Armstrong nodded, fully understanding how Georgie's parents felt.

Parents around the world would do anything for their children.

At this moment, he had a deeper sense of respect for Georgie's parents.

That evening, everyone had a sumptuous meal of hot pot at home amidst a joyful banter.

Henry knew how to make his future in-laws happy, repeatedly joking while never stopping putting food onto their plates throughout the meal.

Although Henry came from a wealthy family, he didn't behave like a snobbish person at all and managed to keep Georgie's parents happy all on his own.

The two of them grew even more fond of him now as they talked and laughed all night long.

Georgie felt extremely satisfied as she observed this, thinking that she had indeed found the right person.

Halfway through the meal, the doorbell started ringing.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

Hearing it, Henry immediately stood up to walk to the door. "I'll get it."

A group of middle-aged women was outside when he opened the door.

They had looks of joy and admiration in their eyes as their gaze landed on him, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable about being stared at in such a way.

He laughed awkwardly. "Hello, everyone. Who are you people?"

They scrambled to introduce themselves as neighbors of the Clementine family before proceeding inside the house without waiting for an invitation.

They studied him up and down, continuing to praise him.

The women felt envious when they saw how exceptional their son-in-law was.

"He looks very accomplished. He has a dignified appearance, too."

"Young man, you run your own company, don't you? You sure have accomplished a lot at a young age."

"That's right. It's certainly commendable for a young person of your age to be running such a successful company."

Henry was at a loss for words at all

these compliments despite

encountering many situations like

this.

, he couldn't do anything

other than smile awkwardly.

The Clementine family walked over upon hearing all the noise from the other room.

Georgie's mother felt particularly

proud about being the center of

attention in the neighborhood,

knowing that her daughter had done

very well for herself.

"Let's not stand around, everyone. Come to the living room and have a seat," she said with an inviting smile.

The guests eagerly made themselves comfortable on the couches, some pulling up chairs and stools to surround the coffee table.

"Henry, Georgie, you two should

continue eating dinner while I have a

chat with our neighbors," Georgie's

mother said as she looked

affectionately at Henry.

He nodded before helplessly leading Georgie back into the dining room.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Xyla Quest had just finished taking a bath. She was carefully applying skincare to her body.

Halfway through the process, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach followed by a warm sensation traveling down her lower body.
