Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 783
He had the most filial son-in-law ever, and he could never find a single flaw on him.
After admiring the painting for quite some time, Jeremy Quest carefully rolled it up and placed it back into the case.
Then, he averted his gaze back to Xyla Quest. "Xyla, I wonder who in the family are you most like. You're brilliant. There's nothing in the world that can baffle you, is there?"
"Emily is simply incomparable with you." Once again, Jeremy's face darkened at the mention of his terrible daughter.
Today, Emily Quest's behavior had disparaged the whole family. She really was a spoiled brat!
Xyla smiled bashfully. "Oh, Dad, you flatter me. I was just bored when I was having medical treatment in Country Y, so I decided to learn some new skills."
"That's great. I can rest reassured that you're going to do well even if I retire. The company will definitely have greater success under your guidance." Jeremy had utter confidence in Xyla. "What happened?" Stanley Batton asked.
Jeremy sighed disappointedly and told Stanley the ins and outs of the selection for the theme park's design this morning. Stanley's eyes widened after listening to the story, attentive and brimming with curiosity. "Grandpa taught you designing?" Following that statement, he could not help but hold Xyla's hand tightly and kissed the back of her hand.
A tingling sensation ran over her skin and penetrated her chest as her heart beat faster.
"What are you doing? Dad's here..." Xyla glowered at him with embarrassment.
"Nah, it doesn't matter. As long as you're happy, I'm happy," said Jeremy.
How he wished he could see this lovely couple every single day.
"How many surprises are you planning to give me? Is there anything else I don't know about you?" Stanley asked again. "Well, we'll see..." Xyla's smile gradually widened.
Stanley ran his fingers across her hair while studying her face with his doting eyes.
"I have nothing much to do today. Shall we play chess?" Jeremy turned to Stanley and asked.
"Sure."
Jeremy immediately took out a chess box from one of the drawers and started a game with Stanley.
On the other hand, Xyla watched the two of them from the side.
She was a proficient chess player.
She knew that Stanley was going easy on Jeremy.
However, she did not make any comment and continued to watch the game in silence.
After watching them for a while, she took out her phone and logged onto Weibo to check today's trending list.
Very soon, she found herself on the trending list again.
The first hot topic was #Xyla Quest Is Lily#.
#Stanley Batton Gave Xyla Quest A Martian Meteorite# was right beneath it.
To be frank, her frequent appearance on the trending list had given her a serious headache.
Massaging her forehead helplessly, she tapped the first hot topic and took a look at it.
Once entering the hot topic, she saw a post uploaded by Matt Leopold a few minutes ago: "@XylaQuest, I just found that the legendary architect Lily, who I've adored all through my life, is actually Xyla Quest! It's unbelievable! Xyla is way too secretive."
His post had garnered a lot of attention from the netizens. There were over a million likes, comments, and shares in just a few minutes.
In the comment section below the post, numerous netizens were questioning Matt about how he found out Lily's real identity.
Matt did not reply to any of them, but many people claimed to be the employees of Quest Property Group and helped the netizens to clear their doubts.
They even recounted the entire process of the selection between Xyla and Emily Quest in detail.
No doubt, Emily's misdeed had triggered a wave of criticism once more.
