Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 51

“Xyla, is this true?” Jeremy Quest was trying hard to suppress his anger as he looked at Xyla Quest.

He hoped that everything about this was fake.

However, Xyla did not speak and nodded gently instead before she took another sip of her tea.

“Did you really get married overseas? It’s a huge deal. Why didn’t you talk to me about it?

“What are you trying to do? Do you want to rebel against me?” The veins on Jeremy’s neck were becoming apparent. After that, he angrily tossed the documents onto the coffee table.

Suddenly, the temperature in the living room dropped. It felt as if the air was being compressed.

Jeremy placed a lot of hope on Xyla. Initially, he planned to find Xyla an excellent man to become her husband.

However, he did not think that she would hastily get married without consulting him.

How could she keep such an important thing from her father? Did she even think of him as her father?

“Why else? It must be because her husband is a nobody. Dad, I bet that man is a gangster or something,” Emily Quest said while looking at Xyla with a pleased expression on her face.

Emily knew that Xyla was done for! Xyla would soon be defeated! Their father would never give the Quest family’s business to someone like her!

“Xyla, a marriage is a very important thing. How can you get married to a piece of trash just like that?

“If you treat yourself with such little respect, how can your Dad count on you in the future? Will you act irresponsibly when you manage the company as well?” May Conner chipped in with words of insult. The duo was determined to take Xyla down.

Hearing this, Jeremy became even angrier. He agreed with what Emily and May said.

“Is that so? Xyla?” Jeremy stared at Xyla and asked. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dad, why do you even bother asking? It must be the case. Otherwise, what other reasons would she have?” Emily added eagerly.

When Emily saw how angry her father was, she was overjoyed. She intended to paint an even worse picture of Xyla’s situation.

Instead of looking at Emily, Jeremy kept his eyes locked on Xyla’s face as he waited for a response from her.

On the other hand, Xyla patiently took another sip of tea and swallowed it before she turned to look gently at her father. “Dad, it’s true that I got married.”

“Haha… Dad, do you hear that? It’s all true.” Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla before she leaned back and waited for more.

“Xyla, oh, Xyla… Why did you give up on yourself so easily?” May pretended to sigh in defeat while she shook her head.

Xyla took another sip of her tea slowly before she put her cup down and looked at Jeremy. “Back then, I was being treated in America all on my own. Without any loved ones by my side, I went through a lot and had emotional breakdowns.

“He appeared during my darkest hour. He was the grandson of the doctor who healed me. Also, he helped me get through the most difficult time of my life.

“After I recovered, I chose to get married to him. Firstly, it was because I gradually developed feelings for him over time. Secondly, I wanted to repay the doctor’s kindness. By healing me from my sickness, he effectively gave me a second chance at life. I felt that it was the right thing to do.

“Back then, I chose not to tell you because I was afraid you would disagree. After I came back, I thought of finding the right time to tell you. I didn’t plan on keeping it a secret from you forever.”
