Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1673

There were a total of over twenty of them…

As soon as they entered, the already cramped living room became even more cramped…

Annabeth Cates felt a little lost when she saw such a spectacular scene.

When the Batton family saw so many people outside, they couldn’t eat anymore.

They immediately put down their dining utensils and walked into the living room to greet those people.

Meanwhile, those people started offering all sorts of crazy compliments when they saw the Batton family.

In fact, every one of them claimed to be the person who adored Annabeth the most.

Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Josh Batton knew what was going on. However, they didn’t put their thoughts into words.

“Josh… My daughter really likes you. She asked me to get your autograph for her. Could you help me out?” one of Annabeth’s distant uncles asked carefully as he looked at Josh.

Josh nodded.

“Oh, Annabeth… You’re really lucky. I’ve always said that you have great luck. You don’t look like someone who’d suffer in life…” Peggy’s distant uncle said as he smiled at her…

Peggy felt a little delirious right then.

He clearly said in the past that she had the look of someone with bad luck.

In fact, he even said her family was destined to be poor forever…

Peggy was tempted to ask this person if he felt embarrassed at all.

After that, the Cates family’s close friends and relatives began showing up at their house one after another.

With one batch gone, the next batch arrived.

Annabeth, her mother, and the Batton family were occupied all afternoon. The only thing they did was meet with all these close friends and relatives.

Even Peggy’s ex-colleagues, who had little connection to her after so many years, showed up.

Regardless of where it would be, the Batton family would personally come over to pick up the Cates family and their close friends and relatives.

The Batton family would take care of all the costs involved in inviting the guests.

The Batton family also offered two million dollars for the dowry.

They hoped this auspicious amount would keep the two of them together forever.

Although Peggy and Annabeth tried their best to refuse, the Batton family had already made up their mind.

Sharon and Wilson forcefully left behind a cheque worth two million dollars before they departed.

They also said that if the cheque were returned, they would get angry.

The Cates family had no choice but to accept it.

Meanwhile, Josh and Annabeth still had to deal with Annabeth’s cousin-in-law. Hence, they chose to stay over at the Cates family’s place. Once everything was sorted out the following day, they’d return home…
