Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 49

“In that case, there’s still the money I owe you for the car. I really must return it to you,” Xyla Quest added.

The man stopped replying to her.

Feeling a little upset, Xyla tapped Five’s name on the screen. “You really are a weirdo.”

After that, Xyla transferred two hundred thousand dollars to Stanley on WeChat and recorded a voice note. “Since you aren’t going to give me your bank account number, I will transfer two hundred thousand dollars to you every day until the full amount is completely transferred.”

Before she had even finished speaking, he had returned her the full amount.

Xyla was so angry that she sent him an emoji of a knife.

After approximately five minutes later, he responded. “Be a good girl; keep quiet.”

His affectionate words caught Xyla off guard.

She sent another emoji of a knife. “I don’t like being indebted to someone else.”

However, Stanley no longer replied to her. When she opened his social media page, there was nothing new posted there.

The last post was a news story about the economy he reposted over a year ago.

After several minutes, when Xyla realized he would not reply to her, she let out a long sigh. If she ever met this person again, she would force him to accept her money.

The next morning, Emily Quest received a phone call in her sleep. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Didn’t you ask me to check on Xyla Quest and the period when she stayed in America?”

When Emily heard the raspy voice, she immediately became wide awake and sat up. Hurriedly, she brushed her messy hair.

“Yes… Have you found out anything?” Emily asked.

Despite having returned for a long time, Xyla had never told them anything about her stay in America for the past two years.

Emily felt that Xyla might be hiding something from them. Therefore, she hired someone to check on Xyla.

“I’ve found something. However, I can’t be sure if it’s something worth using against her.”

“Hurry up and spill the beans.” Emily’s eyes glimmered excitedly.

“I found out that Xyla Quest got married in America. Her husband is called Stanley Batton.”

“What? Did you just say that Xyla got married? Are you serious?” Emily was in a state of disbelief.

“Yeah. However, I can’t find out anything about her husband at all.”

“What do you mean you can’t find anything?” Emily was confused.

“There are only two possibilities. Firstly, this person might be very important, and therefore, his information is being protected intentionally. The other possibility is that the system has yet to update this person’s information.”

Emily snorted coldly. “How could he be a very important person? Since you can’t find out anything about him, forget about it. I will send you some money later. Send me an email with all the information related to her marriage.”

After Emily hung up, she became extremely excited about the information she discovered. This was definitely worthy of being used against Xyla!

Now, she was confident that Xyla was ashamed of her marriage.

If Xyla’s husband had a good background, she would have told them about it as soon as she returned home. Perhaps, Xyla should have informed them when she got married.

The only reason Xyla might have chosen not to do so was that she was embarrassed about her husband’s identity. Perhaps, he was a lowly citizen!

Xyla was probably afraid that her family would disagree due to the difference in status between her family and the man’s family. Therefore, Xyla proceeded without consulting her family.

Emily was curious about how her father would react once he found out that his favorite daughter got married to a nobody without his knowledge.

Would he still say that Emily was in no way better than Xyla?

Would he still want to hand over the Quest family’s business to Xyla Quest?

Would things turn into a mess at home? Would Dad beat Xyla up? Perhaps, he might even kick her out of the house. The thought alone was enough to make Emily feel over the moon.
