Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 60

Xyla went upstairs without giving Emily so much as a sideways glance.

This feeling of being ignored annoyed Emily a lot. She abruptly stood up and called loudly after Xyla, “No matter how calm you try to act, you’re still panicking on the inside!”

She continued to mock Xyla, saying, “For the sake of gaining merit, you’re willing to take on everything by yourself, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid of not being able to handle this mess and finally end up destroying yourself in the process? What an idiot! Is there really something wrong with your horoscope? Are you born with a constitution that brings calamities? Why did something like this happen the moment you took over the project?”

Emily’s words were like needles, prickling at Xyla’s ears. However, Xyla didn’t want to waste time with her. She would rather utilize her energy to solve the issue that was now bothering her.

Just like that, Emily stood where she was as Xyla’s silhouette slowly disappeared from her sight. Xyla’s indifference and disregard for her made Emily furious!

She stomped her foot hard while clenching her fists and saying through gritted teeth, “Xyla Quest, you b*tch! You’ll be going down soon!”

“Alright, Emily, come and sit.” May gently pulled Emily to her side and held her hand firmly. “You should stop being angry and be happy instead.”

In an instant, Emily’s fury turned into delight. A cheeky grin appeared on her lips as she looked at May and said, “That’s true. I should be happy. After all, Xyla might soon be ruined because of her decision today.”

“Not just that, the sold units of Imperial Prime might also be returned. Even if the crisis is resolved, a building that was once involved in such a scandal won’t sell well. The property will be ruined by

Xyla. With both of these failures put together, it’s enough to make Dad lose all confidence in her. When that time comes, I’ll just have to put in a little bit of effort, and everything in the Quest family will be mine,” said Emily confidently, plotting and scheming behind her vicious gaze.

“But, of course. We’ll return to the starting point, and this time, with the Sullivan family’s support, you’ll naturally have the upper hand. You have to do your best, okay? In the future, you also have to contain yourself a little in front of your father and be sweeter to him, do you understand?” May urged solemnly.

“Oh Mom, of course, I know.” Emily’s smile was getting more cheerful.

“If there really is an investigation on this matter, they won’t be able to trace it back to you, right?” asked May in a quiet voice, her eyes filled with worry. “If your father finds out that you spread a rumor that our property has defects just to take Xyla down, you’ll be dead.”

“Relax, the info was put out there by a hacker I’m familiar with. He’s a top-class expert. The IP address he forged can’t be traced by anyone.” Emily was confident about this.

May let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good then.”

Emily was getting more excited. “Mom, I believe that we’ll soon be able to see the dejected look of failure on Xyla’s face.”

Upon returning to her room, Xyla quickly sat on her bed. After sending Five Batton two hundred thousand dollars via WeChat message, she opened up Weibo’s search engine to take a look at the hottest searches.

By now, the topic of Imperial Prime having issues had gone down on the hot search ranking. Looks like it would blow over soon. However, she knew that this was temporary. Like her father had said,

news like this could not be covered completely.

Netizens today would never let go of such huge news easily. But before evidence was found, the only thing they could do now was to suppress this news and prevent it from growing.
