Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

After that, Stanley Batton found a black switch. Once he flicked it upward gently, the lights came on.
Xyla Quest subconsciously squinted when the strong rays of light suddenly appeared.
“It’s done...” Stanley slowly turned off the torchlight on his phone and looked at her.
Under the bright light, Stanley’s naked upper body became fully visible. Xyla immediately pushed his hand away and looked
down while she walked over to the couch.
“Get changed, and we’ll head over to my father’s house for dinner...” Xyla said.
Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he silently walked up the stairs.

When Xyla and Stanley walked onto the street outside, they could see a sea of red lanterns hung all around them. Slowly,
Stanley drove them into the Quest family’s villa compound.
The courtyard was also brightly lit with red lanterns. Many cars were parked in front of the main building.
As the doors were open, people in the courtyard could clearly hear people talking and laughing inside.
On New Year’s Eve, May Conner’s relatives would all come over to celebrate with the Quest family over dinner. Xyla was very
much used to this. Although she did not like them, she could never show it.
When Xyla and Stanley walked through the doors, they could feel an air of warmth. May, Jeremy Quest, and groups of men and
women of all ages were gathered around. At one glance, Xyla could see at least thirty people, all of whom she recognized.
Everyone was eating melon seeds, chatting, and drinking tea. It made her feel like an outsider.
When Xyla’s relatives saw her, their smiles slowly disappeared. The looks in their eyes turned cold and distant.
Xyla chose to ignore them directly as she held onto the handsome man next to her and approached the group of people.
Two of Emily Quest’s cousin sisters were also there. They sat in between Emily’s uncle and aunt.
When the two ladies saw Stanley, they were stunned by his good looks. Since they were busy on the day Emily got married and
could not attend her wedding, this was the first time they met Stanley. They had heard about how handsome Stanley was from

their parents, but they did not know he looked this handsome. In fact, he was even more good-looking than their favorite idol.
Meanwhile, other girls in the family were equally stunned by the sight of Stanley. Most of them were seeing him for the first time
too.
Without a doubt, all women thought of him as handsome. Anyone who saw his face could not resist allowing their gazes to linger
upon him.
“Xyla and Stanley, you’re here... Come on over and sit with us,” Jeremy said with a smile as he moved to make space for them.
May greeted them with a smile and pretended to be welcoming. “Xyla, Stanley, hurry up and sit down. We’ll start eating soon.
The servants are preparing the food,” she said.
Xyla and Stanley nodded politely before sitting down together. After that, Jeremy began introducing Stanley to the people he had
never met.
Throughout the process, Stanley behaved politely as usual. Although he would nod and greet each of them, he would not look at
any one of their faces for longer than a second.
On the other hand, Xyla sat next to him while she nibbled at fruits. She decided not to be a part of their conversation.
Once Stanley was introduced to everyone, a group of young girls began asking Stanley many questions. They asked him about
his age, astrological sign, blood type, and an endless stream of questions, almost as if he was their idol.
Although the girls treated Xyla coldly, they did not treat Stanley the same way.
For some reason, Xyla felt something weird in her heart. Even if he would always only answer out of politeness, she still found it
strange.
