Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 449

Immediately after he ended his sentence, Jeremy Quest continued. “Worry not, Xyla. I’ll deal with him for you.”

Xyla simply laughed gently. “Don’t be hasty, dad. The woman in the picture is his blood-related sister.”

“What?!” Jeremy was stunned for a moment.

“Yes, she’s been studying overseas all this time. Don’t be angry with him anymore, I’m doing very well with my husband,” Xyla explained in a serious but calm voice.

“That’s… That’s great to hear…” Jeremy sighed in relief as he slowly calmed down.

After she was done explaining, Xyla continued to talk with Jeremy for a while. Nearing the end, the smile on her face faded and she began to furrow her brows again.

Once the call ended, Jeremy immediately went to the washroom.

Emily Quest could barely hold her excitement and whispered in May Conner’s ear, “Mary Sullivan’s definitely done a good job this time!”

May snorted, pleased with the situation. “Let’s see whether that brat can still be as arrogant as she usually is after this.”

Emily didn’t reply, but she cupped her hands over her mouth as she secretly smiled.

A flushing sound was heard and the mother and daughter immediately ceased their whispering. Emily quickly put on her usual depressed facade.

After washing his hands, Jeremy walked out of the washroom.

May Conner pretended to be worried and stood up. She slowly walked toward Jeremy before asking, “Darling? Is Xyla going to be okay?”

Emily could barely hold her anticipation for his answer but she continued to look toward the floor, still pretending to be depressed.

Jeremy simply shook his head. “That’s quite impossible. Xyla would never lie to us. Alright, I need to return to my office now.”

Upon finishing his sentence, Jeremy left the room immediately.

After he left, Emily approached her mother and asked, “...Mom, what do you think about this?”

“I think the brat’s just lying to save her image… She’s never mentioned about Stanley’s sister before,” May snorted.

Emily snorted as well. “We both have the same idea.”

“If we’re both thinking the same thing, Mary would definitely not believe the story either. Let’s wait for her to solve the mystery. We just need to remain calm for now and wait for Xyla to continue embarrassing herself.” In her mind, May was already scheming several ideas.

“That’s for sure. Based on Xyla’s personality, she would definitely post a clarification message. The message would definitely make the issue go viral again.” Emily’s lips curved upwards as she smiled coldly.
