Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 59

‘If this wasn’t exposed and someone moved in, will you take responsibility when something happens? Boycott Quest Properties! Boycott Imperial Prime!’

‘Imperial Prime? I think it should be Scamming Prime instead! Bunch of dog sh*ts, how dare they cut corners in such things! The immoral Quest family should go bankrupt now!’

‘Josh Batton must be mental to endorse them! If something really happens when residents move in, will you f*cking take responsibility? Is this what you call good quality? Bullsh*t!’

Now, not only was the Quest family under fire, even their ambassador, Josh Batton, was being dragged into this.

All of this made Xyla furious. Figuring that the family must have found out by now, she quickly got out of her car and rushed into the living room.

The atmosphere at home was dark. At that moment, Jeremy, Emily, and May were all seated in a row on the long sofa. Jeremy’s expression was dark, while the faces of Emily and her mother looked equally terrible too.

Xyla hurried over and sat down beside Jeremy. “I saw the news. Dad, did you make any calls to have the searches removed? We need to suppress this news immediately. After that, we’ll get evidence and catch the rumormonger to prove that this is all just a lie. Only with this can we reduce the damage.”

“I’ve already instructed them, but it won’t be an easy task to remove this from the list of hottest searches. Now that this issue has blown up, we can’t contain it anymore,” said Jeremy, frowning hard.

“I think Xyla’s horoscope clashes with our property, that’s why something like this happened. The property has been fine all this while, but the moment she took over, something happened. If it isn’t because of her incompatible horoscope, what else could it be?” said Emily, rolling her eyes at Xyla.

Their father had always been a superstitious person. Emily believed that putting it this way would make him think twice about Xyla.

Jeremy snapped, “Keep quiet. Don’t you think our family is in enough trouble?”

Xyla blatantly ignored Emily as she gazed softly at Jeremy. “Why don’t you let me take care of this? I’m in charge of the property, so now that it’s in trouble, I should be the one to put in the effort to save it.”

“You?” Jeremy’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Yeah. Don’t worry about it, I’ll give you a satisfying result,” said Xyla confidently.

Jeremy shook his head. “Stop fooling around. It’s such a huge issue, I’ll take care of it personally.”

“Dad, believe me. I can do it,” said Xyla.

Whether this issue was caused by Emily or one of their competitors, she wasn’t about to let the other party walk away laughing. Not only that, but she would also use this chance to prove herself.

This was a crisis, but it was also an opportunity.

“I think we can let Xyla try since she’s so keen on it,” said May as she glanced coldly at Xyla.

Since the girl was eager to try, let her do it. May wanted to see just how Xyla would take care of this disaster. If she screwed up instead, it would deal a huge blow to the Quest family. When that happened, Xyla would have annoyed Jeremy, and would suffer great consequences.

Emily crossed her arms and shot a mocking glance at Xyla. “Yeah. Young people should be given a chance. Since she wants to prove herself so much, let her do it, Dad.”

Emily couldn’t help but wonder, was Xyla mad? To think she would proactively trouble herself! Since she was asking for trouble, Emily would give her a hand. She would watch Xyla fall into a pit so deep that she could never climb back out! Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Naturally, Xyla knew what the mother-daughter pair was thinking, but she ignored them. She merely stared at Jeremy quietly, waiting for his answer.

Jeremy’s eyes were still filled with doubt. “Xyla, are you sure?”

“I’m sure. Dad, I hope you’ll believe that I can succeed.” Xyla was resolute.

“Okay.” Jeremy nodded.

Although he was doubtful of her doing a good job, he wanted to let her try nonetheless. With that, he would be able to see whether or not she was as capable as he thought she was.

“If there’s any need, you can look for me.”

Having said that, Jeremy got up and went upstairs. Upon hearing this, May and Emily exchanged satisfied looks, seeming to enjoy Xyla’s misfortune.

“Oh dear, some people just don’t know their strengths,” scoffed Emily.
