Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2463



"That's because today is his birthday! Let's all give Mr. Batton the loudest applause and wish him a happy birthday, all right?"

Everyone started clapping as soon as the emcee finished talking, and the applause didn't stop.

Wilson Batton led Sharon Lindt, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton to the main table in front of the stage while everyone watched them take a seat.

Wilson remained standing and raised his cup of tea slowly as a gesture of appreciation to his attendees. "Thank you all for making time to attend my birthday party. I'm truly honored by your presence.

"I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your warm wishes with this cup of tea in place of alcohol." With that, he raised his cup and emptied its content while everyone else did the same with their goblets of wine.

"We have alcohol, food, and performances tonight. I hope everyone will have a good time and enjoy the evening," Wilson added before taking a seat. The emcee picked up the microphone and smiled. "Some people have prepared a special gift for Mr. Batton as the opening act for tonight."

"A special gift?" he asked, turning his head to shoot Xyla and Stanley a puzzled look.

Xyla waved her hand and shook her head, indicating that she was as clueless as he was.

He then looked at his wife, who shrugged.

"If you guys don't know, then who does?" he wondered. "Josh and his family are working abroad and couldn't make it back in time, while your elder siblings couldn't attend either."

No one else came to mind who would prepare a surprise gift for him.

"Dad, you'll find out soon when they get on stage. Just be patient," Xyla told him.

"Okay."

Several staff members dressed in traditional outfits wheeled a white piano to the center of the stage, while another placed a standing microphone next to it.

Lte Batton and Leon Batton emerged from backstage as everybody looked on in confusion.

She wore a teal-colored dress that had exquisite red and green embroidery. The outfit looked vibrant and refreshing on her.

Her hair was gathered up into a bun, decorated with red, rounded

ornaments and peach-shaped- hairpins. Her accessories and

natural beauty made her look playful and lively.

Leon wore the midnight blue tuxedo that accentuated his sparkling dark eyes. His facial features were as intricate as a sculpture with the same cold aura when he smiled.

The classic outfit didn't have extravagant designs, nor was the material particularly outstanding, but he still looked dapper in the simple ensemble.

"She's such a pretty girl. She is probably Stanley and Xyla's daughter, isn't she?"

"I thought Xyla looked stunning

when I saw her earlier. Her daughter isn't as good-looking as her parents, but she's still gorgeous! That is the power of gics." Content belongs fo NovelDrama.OrgText © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Their son is also very handsome. He's as good-looking as his father!"

People kept sighing as they gushed over the family's appearances.

"Didn't you say they were busy?" Wilson asked with a grin when he saw his grandchildren, feelings of disappointment now forgotten.

"They wanted to give you a birthday surprise," Xyla replied with a chuckle.

"These children are so thoughtful," Sharon stated.

Lte and Leon bowed to the audience while everyone gasped.
