Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 129

Tom Sullivan immediately ran up to the stage and stood in front of her protectively before he grabbed the microphone in a huff.

“This is all a misunderstanding… I’ll find out the truth. Please don’t mind what happened. Please keep this to yourselves on the basis of your relationship with the Sullivan family,” Tom said before bowing deeply at the audience off stage.

After that, he held the microphone tightly and tried to keep his cool as he looked at the audience.

“There will be more exciting performances coming up. Let’s shift our attention to the performances,” he said before dragging Emily Quest with him off the stage.

Once the two returned to their seats, Tom felt the urge to kill Emily.

Soon after, pretty ladies from the Atlantis Dancing Group began showcasing their peacock dance.

However, the catastrophe had still not come to an end. People were still discussing what happened.

Tom’s parents seemed very annoyed. Although they already hated Emily a lot, the things that had happened so far made them hate her even more.

In fact, Tony started to regret forcing his son to marry Emily just because of their child.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

At that moment, everyone’s phone began to ring.

Soon after, the same news headline appeared on their phone screens.

“Shocking! The culprit who framed Imperial Prime is actually Emily Quest, the second daughter of the Quest family!”

Emily Quest was now going through a complete breakdown. Her hands trembled uncontrollably. Her eyes were red with anger.

Meanwhile, Tony Sullivan and Bailey Ronson could barely breathe properly from being so upset.

With her trembling hands, Emily tapped on the news headline. What came into sight was a screenshot of her pleading guilty all over the electronic screens of buildings around the city.

Emily felt as if her mind was about to explode.

‘Ahhhh! Does this mean the news has already been leaked?! Has the entire city seen the footage?! It’s over!’ Emily thought.

“Based on Emily’s personality, she could easily make a lot of people hate her. It wouldn’t be strange if someone wanted to set this up. Besides, even if Xyla did so, Emily deserved it!” Jeremy raised his voice angrily. Veins were clearly visible on his neck.

Xyla immediately felt touched by what Jeremy said.

After that, Jeremy quickly entered the lift and closed the doors.

Xyla was about to step in with him when May tugged at her wrist.

“Xyla Quest, wait a minute,” Mary said.

At that moment, the doors of the lift closed.

“Aunty, what do you want?” Xyla frowned slightly as she looked at May.

Slap!

Without saying anything, May slapped Xyla across her face.
