If you’re angry, you can scold me or do anything you want… Don’t drive fast like this to vent. It’s very dangerous…”However, Luke Landon still didn’t say a word…Right then, Luke was like an emotionless driving machine.After driving for thirty kilometers on the freeway, Luke abruptly stopped the car by the road.

As soon as Xyla Quest was done speaking in her dream, she suddenly opened her eyes wide in reality…Only when she opened her eyes did she realize that she was dreaming again…Moreover, her third dream seemed to be connected to the two dreams from before…However, Xyla couldn’t understand what exactly was going on collectively…Xyla felt tortured by her dreams the entire night.Due to her poor sleep quality, Xyla was dizzy. It felt terrible.Her mind also felt cluttered. She couldn’t think clearly at all…Right then, Stanley Batton, who was next to her, slowly opened his eyes.When Stanley saw that Xyla was awake, he immediately extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. “Up already?”“Yeah… Good morning, Honey…” Xyla said as she nodded gently.“Good morning…” Having just woken up, Stanley’s voice sounded gentle and lazy, but it sure as hell was pleasant to listen to.“What do you want for breakfast?” Stanley asked.“Dad asked us to go home for breakfast this morning…

Stanley Batton drove his own black Bugatti Veyron and sent Xyla Quest to the Quest family’s house next door.When the two of them walked through the door, Betty Starmount was standing by the dining room as she gave instructions to the maids. “Be careful… Those are Xyla’s favorite dishes. Don’t spill anything… Those are also Xyla’s favorites… Remember to cover them up after placing them on the dining table. They won’t be nice after getting cold…”Jeremy Quest sat silently on the couch as he drank his tea and lovingly observed Betty as she prepared frantically for his daughter…Xyla found this scene somewhat harmonious…When Betty saw Xyla walking in, she immediately approached Xyla. “Xyla… Stan, you’re here… You’re just in time for breakfast… Get your hands washed, and let’s eat breakfast together…”Xyla nodded. After that, she looked at Jeremy, who was far away. “Dad, we’re here… We’ll wash our hands first.”Jeremy and Stanley nodded at each other. After that, Jeremy smiled at Xy

“Honey, is the bird’s nest I made delicious?” Betty Starmount immediately held Jeremy Quest’s hand seductively and asked after seeing that Jeremy had emptied the bowl of bird’s nest.Jeremy slowly put down the empty bowl in his hand. “Yeah, it’s delicious… But I’m getting sick of eating the same thing that you make for me every day…”When Betty heard this, her tone became even softer. “Honey, this stuff is good for your health… You have to eat it even if you’re sick of it…”“I don’t feel it’s been that good for me at all. Ever since I started eating bird’s nest every single day, I haven’t been able to sleep well…” Jeremy said.“How could it be caused by bird’s nest? Bird’s nest helps calm you down…” Betty said.With that, Betty smiled at Jeremy. “Honey, can we take bird’s nest properly?”Jeremy slowly shifted his gaze to Betty’s face and looked into her eyes.The moment their eyes met, Jeremy suddenly felt strong dizziness…Immediately after that, he felt an urge to do as Betty

“It’s all going well… I’ll soon be able to inflict the worst kind of pain imaginable unto Xyla before killing her, just like you told me to…” Betty Starmount said.“Betty, don’t play tricks on me. Don’t forget what you’ve pledged to me,” the man warned coldly.When Betty heard this, she immediately nodded respectfully. “Yes, I understand…” She said with a nervous look on her face.The man sneered without saying anything. Instead, he retrieved a cylindrical glass tube from his pocket that was full of tiny, transparent beads before tossing it onto the bed. “Make sure Jeremy and Xyla’s doses aren’t cut off…”“Yes… Master, I have a question. I can’t quite understand something,” Betty said.“Speak…”“You clearly told me in the beginning that I should find a way to kill Xyla directly. Why did you change your mind after that? Why did you replace the drug with something that takes longer…? Also, why must you make Xyla suffer in the worst ways imaginable before she dies?“Isn’t it much e
Chapter 1584
Betty Starmount was much too curious about the hostilities between her master and Xyla Quest…However, since her master forbade her to feel curious, she had to stop herself from feeling curious…That was because if her master didn’t want her to find out about something, she couldn’t do so.Due to her good mood today, Betty specifically changed into a bright, pink navel hoodie that matched her working pants of the same color…Betty also wore a pair of white flats…Her hair was pulled back naturally into a tall ponytail that made her appear vibrant…Once Betty had gotten changed, she put on some light make-up and headed downstairs.When Jeremy Quest saw Betty coming down, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand. After that, he walked up to her with a smile on his face. “You look stunning…” He complimented.Betty leaned affectionately against Jeremy’s shoulder and smiled. “Honey, can you ask Xyla to come over for dinner tonight? I want to bond with Xyla…” Betty could only get mo

“Come to me if you have time… There’s something I’d like to show you…” Yaksha said.Xyla Quest immediately ran through her schedule in her mind…Her schedule seemed to be quite full…She only had a few hours three days later that were unoccupied in the afternoon.“Is it urgent?” Xyla asked.“It isn’t urgent. You can come whenever you want…” Yaksha replied.“In that case, I’ll come over in three days in the afternoon. Does that work for you?” Xyla asked.Yaksha wouldn’t contact her if there weren’t something important.Hence, Xyla knew that this was probably a critical matter…“Deal…” Yaksha immediately hung up after that.After working until five o’clock in the afternoon, Xyla quickly walked into her private bathroom. She took a quick bath and washed her face…After that, Xyla changed into a white blouse that she kept in the office…She matched it with a long, pink tuxedo coat on the outside…Underneath the coat, she wore a pair of short, black pants.
