Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 111

“I’m curious about the person who did such a deed without leaving his name as well. To be able to get our general manager’s personal help, he must be a prominent figure!”

“No matter who is it, I’m super envious of that woman.”

Meanwhile, in the Sullivan family’s living room.

“Honey, Tom, Emily is still pregnant with our grandchild. Are we really going to keep ignoring her? What if something happens to the child?”

Bailey looked worriedly at Tom sitting beside her and at Tony sitting on the single sofa as she spoke.

“I’ve already inquired. She’s doing well there. And she’s coming out the day before the wedding, isn’t she? It’s only a few days, so there’s no need to care about her specifically. It’d be good for her to learn a lesson as well.”

“And can’t you see what she’s done? To achieve her own goals, she had endangered her family’s business. What about the future? What if she endangers our family in the future?” Tom was irked.

“Tom is right. It’ll be good for her to suffer a little. Otherwise, she would always do whatever she wants. If it weren’t because she was pregnant, I would never have allowed her to enter the Sullivan family.” Tony’s expression was darker than coal.

“You guys are right.” Bailey nodded in agreement.

“Don’t worry. They won’t let anything happen to a pregnant lady,” Tom comforted as he patted his mother’s shoulder.

“Yeah. As long as the child is safe, I don’t care what happens to her,” said Bailey coldly.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning, after Emily and her mother had run their laps, they cheerfully entered the dining hall.

At the thought of today being the day of their release, they were over the moon.

Their footsteps had also become lighter.

Emily even started singing a little tune after being locked up for so long. “By now, your long-time lover is on his way. I know he’s been traveling through rain and shine, across a sea of strangers just to be with you.”

Seeing her daughter in a good mood, May felt even better. “Emily, this is great. We can finally get out of this place today.”

“Tomorrow, Brother Sullivan and I will shine so bright that our halos will overshadow Xyla and her husband.

“What’s the use if Xyla’s the only good-looking one? Her husband’s ugly. The two of them standing together definitely won’t beat Brother Sullivan and me in terms of look,” Emily added.

She was starting to anticipate the scene where Xyla shows up with her ugly husband. Her instincts told her that the man would be hideous.

“That's right. That man definitely won’t have decent looks. We don’t even know if he really studies medicine. Otherwise, why did she have to wait until we’ve exposed her to inform your father?” May scoffed.

“Forget it. I get nauseous looking at the food here. Let’s go. We’ll go for good food when we get out later,” said Emily.

“Yeah.” May agreed. The mother-daughter pair walked out joyfully.

“Yo, look at you two! For those who don’t know, they might even think you’re getting released today.” The bald inmate and the other female prisoners who shared the same cell with them came over in a group, standing in front of them.

Upon seeing them, May and Emily subconsciously took a step back. Then, Emily smiled cheekily, “That’s right. I’m getting released today.”

“Who said you could leave today?” A female correctional officer came over with a dark expression.
