Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1675

“I’ll come with you,” Josh Batton said when he heard this. He naturally grabbed Annabeth Cates by the waist. He was extremely gentle with her.

Seeing how gentle Josh was made Peggy Howards feel even more secure.

“You’d better not. Although those desperate fans have been ushered away, it’d be very troublesome if you get recognized out there.

“As for me, they don’t know me that well. As long as I disguise myself properly and keep a low profile, they probably won’t recognize me,” Annabeth added.

“Don’t worry. We have bodyguards… Get ready. We’ll head out together,” Josh said before picking up a black cap on the coffee table. He then put it on before wearing his face mask and shades while walking toward the door…

Peggy wanted to allow them to spend more time together. Hence, she didn’t plan on going with them.

She merely smiled at Annabeth. “You two go ahead… I’ll wait for you at home.”

“Alright…” Annabeth nodded.

After that, Annabeth quickly put on her face mask, sunglasses, and cap before following Josh outside.

Once they were downstairs, Josh held her hand and walked up to the twenty guards on duty downstairs.

Josh gave a simple order that they wanted to go to the hospital. He then got into a Bentley closest to him and sat on the driver’s seat.

Annabeth quickly followed him into the car and sat on the passenger’s seat.

Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton had arranged this car for them before they left.

The BMW and Mercedes-Benz next to the Bentley were also arranged by Sharon and Wilson.

This was done so that they could conveniently travel around.

Soon, Josh started the engine and drove out of the town.

The bodyguards quickly got into the BMW and Mercedes-Benz behind them and followed the Bentley.

She felt as if a great burden had finally been lifted from her shoulders. “That’s great… Thank you, Josh.”

“You’re welcome…” Josh said.

“Indeed, he has quite the background here. He has an ally who works close to the chief… And that ally knows even more powerful people…” Josh said.

“Yes… That’s why we haven’t been able to do anything to him for so many years…” Annabeth said.

“The most senior chief has already told me that he would punish those who protected your cousin-in-law. He didn’t know about these things,” Josh said with a slight frown.

“Okay… Thank you,” Annabeth added.

“My cousin is really pitiful. My parents were frequently dragged into this mess in the past too.

“As for me… I was useless. Apart from watching it all happen, there was nothing else I could do…” Annabeth couldn’t help but tear up when she recounted everything.
