Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 587

May Conner instantly shuddered.

Emily Quest forced a bitter smile, looking lost and confused. “Dad doesn’t care about me anymore?”

Bailey Ronson, who was standing beside her, felt like she would explode the next second. Success was just around the corner before it blew up in her face. How come their plan did not work?

Why was everyone from the Quest family so strange and unpredictable?

“Mom, what should I do now?” Emily looked at May anxiously.

“Your father looks determined. If he’s not going to change his mind, I’m afraid that there’s nothing else we can do. He’ll hate me if I come up with some sorts of ideas again.” May sighed helplessly.

Though it had been a long time since the last time Jeremy Quest almost divorced her, that horrible experience still haunted her.

“What if I attempt suicide again?” Emily asked.

“For all I know, that’s not going to help.” May let out a deep sigh once more before fixing her gaze upon Bailey. “You’ll have to fend for yourself from now on. Emily and I have done our best. By the way, Bailey, don’t ever instigate my daughter to attempt suicide again for your benefit. What are you going to do if anything happens to my daughter? Can you afford the risk?”

“It’s my idea. My mother-in-law has nothing to do with it,” Emily explained.

“Take care of Emily. I’ll work it out on my own.” Bailey grabbed her handbag and strode out of the ward dejectedly.

She was not in the mood to argue with Emily or May. She had to figure out a solution to help Sullivan Food Group.

After Bailey left, May pinched Emily’s right upper arm furiously.

“Aren’t you worried that Bailey will go back on her words and kick you out of their house after you’ve sacrificed everything to save them?” Pure helplessness was all that was in May’s mind right now.

“No, she won’t do that. Even if she does, I’ll find a way to keep Brother Sullivan by my side. I’m confident of that.” Emily looked determined.

“You’re nuts.”

“Yes, I admit I am. I’m head over heels for Brother Sullivan. I’m also crazy about the prestige of the Sullivan family. What’s wrong with that?”

May’s response was simply a deep sigh. “The corruption of the Sullivan family is inevitable. This time, your father is not going to help you anymore. Xyla and Stanley won’t give in as well.

“Let me ask you a question. What if Sullivan Food Group goes downhill due to this incident and falls behind our family? What are you going to do then?”
