Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 77

“Who do you think you are? If my predictions are correct, after this incident today, Father will lose all confidence in you. Congratulations!” Emily Quest continued to mock, feeling better the more she spoke.

Emily felt extremely accomplished for mocking a failure.

After holding herself back the entire day, Xyla’s patience was at its limit. She clenched her fists.

However, she forced back her emotions once more because there was no longer a need for her to take physical action. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Sit in the living room and wait for me,” said Xyla.

“What for?”

“I have an announcement to make,” said Xyla calmly. She glanced at Emily’s face nonchalantly before she headed upstairs.

“What announcement? An announcement that you’re backing out of Imperial Prime?” Emily was getting cheekier as she spoke.

“Yeah.” Having said that, Xyla went upstairs.

Since all the units of Imperial Prime had been sold, wasn’t it time for her to back out?

As she watched Emily’s delighted expression, Xyla felt even more amused.

After hearing that, Emily was ecstatic. As expected, Xyla had failed! She was probably asking Father to come downstairs so she could explain and admit that she was incompetent!

“Tragic…!” Emily smiled as she shook her head before walking over to the sofa with glee and sitting down.

About ten minutes later, Xyla was supporting Jeremy by the arm as they made their way downstairs.

Jeremy’s expression was cold as ice while beside him, Xyla remained expressionless. It was hard to guess what she was thinking at this moment.

It was a stark contrast to what her father was showing.

After seeing Jeremy’s expression, Emily further affirmed her thoughts. It must be that!

Soon, Jeremy sat down on the single sofa while Xyla sat next to Emily.

“Father, looking at your expression, I’m sure Xyla has told you about wanting to back out, right?

“Xyla, I’m not trying to lecture you, but you don’t even have any capabilities, so why did you shoulder everything on your own?

“To think Father put so much faith in you and left it in your hands without hesitation. In the end, is this how you repay him?” Emily continued flawlessly in an attempt to fuel the fire and completely provoke Jeremy.

Jeremy’s expression darkened as he instantly looked at Emily murderously.

“Father, why are you looking at me? Have I said something wrong?

“The incompetent person now is Xyla, not me.” Having said that, Emily glared at Xyla.

However, Xyla ignored her and quietly picked up an unopened fruit juice bottle from the coffee table. She poured herself a glass before leisurely drinking it.

“Why are you still in the mood to drink anything at a time like this? Because of your horoscope incompatibility, Imperial Prime is in danger now.

“Our entire Quest family might even be dragged down by it! Can you still bring yourself to drink anything in this situation? How did Father raise such a heartless daughter like you?” Emily exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

The next instant, a cellphone fell onto Emily’s lap. Having something thrown at her so suddenly surprised Emily.

She held up the phone and met Jeremy’s hostile eyes with a confused expression. “Father, what are you doing?”
