Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

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.

In front of the lift, Xyla reached out for Jeremy’s hand as she panted.

“Dad, don’t be upset,” Xyla said as she looked at his cold expression.

“Was it you, Xyla?” Jeremy asked with a frown.

“No… You made it clear you did not want the news to get out from how you solved the whole ordeal. I wouldn’t have dared to go against your wishes.” Xyla shook her head.

“Alright. Daddy believes in you,” Jeremy said as he patted the back of Xyla’s hand gently.

“Would you like me to find out who was behind all this?” Xyla asked.

“Don’t bother. I don’t want to waste any more effort on that b*stard child. If the Sullivan family wants to know who is behind all this, they can do it themselves,” Jeremy said and waved his hands helplessly.

“Darling, why do you believe everything Xyla says?” May Conner asked gloomily.

“I’m not your husband anymore. Please be careful with your words. I believe Xyla because she is trustworthy,” Jeremy said coldly.

“But what happened today was clearly planned by Xyla. Who else could it be?” May fumed. She wished she could tear Xyla apart.

“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.
