Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 143

Without bickering with May any further, Xyla turned around and started walking upstairs.

“Xyla Quest, I won’t let you off the hook! Just you wait! Emily and I won’t be defeated by you this easily!” May murmured to herself in a murderous tone.

After returning to her room, Xyla poured herself a glass of red wine and began observing the snowy view outside from her balcony.

The layer of snow on the red plum tree seemed so thick that it might cause one of its branches to snap.

Against the fully white surrounding, the slight dash of red appeared unusually striking.

After taking a sip of the red wine, Xyla could not help but think about Emily.

This should have been the happiest moment in Emily’s life because it was the night of her wedding. However, this was perhaps the beginning of Emily’s nightmare.

Xyla had once experienced falling from the highest high to the lowest low. She knew all too well how painful it was.

When Xyla thought of this, the painful memories began replaying in her mind all over again.

The expression on Xyla’s face turned increasingly cold.

She believed Tom Sullivan was in an equally disastrous situation.

Tom never felt good listening to these things.

“Sorry? Do you think a simple sorry will solve everything that has happened? If we can’t get through this catastrophe, we’ll go bankrupt! We are receiving one bad news after another. Dragon Group had just informed us that they would like to withdraw their investments. Their decision to do so, coupled with the negative media we are facing now, has severely impacted our company. If what you did had not been exposed, we could still deal with Dragon Group’s withdrawal of investments. However, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for us now,” Tony said with an increasingly cold facial expression. He wished he could kill Tom right now.

Tony used to think of Tom as a capable person. In the end, he turned out to be a heartless and useless man.

“I thought it would all go well. As long as we kept things hidden, nobody would find out. Moreover, my factory isn’t the only one that uses expired ingredients. Many other factories in the country are doing the same thing. Aren’t they all fine? I’ve been doing it for a year, and nothing has happened to anyone. To be honest, the food has gone through a high-temperature sterilization process. Even if there were bacteria in the ingredients, they would have been killed in the process. Although we used expired ingredients, most of the products meet the required standard during the quality checks,” Tom explained carefully.

The more Tony listened to Tom’s explanations, the angrier he became. Finally, Tony could no longer hold back as he picked up a teacup and smashed it against Tom’s forehead.
