Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 206

Xyla said nothing but hugged Jeremy in silence.

“I just feel apologetic toward you.” Xyla’s eyes gradually turned red.

“Don’t say such things anymore.” Jeremy gently let go of her. “Say, since she was faking her pregnancy, why wasn’t she exposed when she entered the detention center?”

Jeremy could not figure this out. The doctors outside could be bribed, but after entering the detention center, how could she bribe the doctor in such a short amount of time?

“Maybe she bribed the person who took her blood sample.” She had thought of this question before.

Because once Emily was taken into the police car, she no longer had the chance to contact the outside world. Hence, the possibility of someone helping her from the outside was zero.

The only possibility left was that she had promised the person responsible for her health checkup, and that person caved after hearing Emily’s tempting offer.

After Emily was released, Xyla had secretly hacked into Emily’s phone and realized that Emily had transferred fifteen thousand dollars to an unknown account.

Thus, Xyla confirmed her assumptions.

“She’s really capable!” Jeremy scoffed before his cold expression once again turned into an affectionate as he looked at Xyla. “You’ve done great. A regular person would have reported her fake pregnancy, but you didn’t.”

“It’s better to avoid unnecessary complications.” Xyla smiled.

In fact, the real reason was that she figured, rather than exposing everything and having Emily stay in the detention cell forever, it was better to keep quiet and let her continue causing trouble.

Once she was done, Xyla would just send her back in.

That would not affect anything at all.

Moreover, with these cases of bribing and cheating the law enforcement officers, Emily’s sentence would only grow more severe.

“What about you?” asked Xyla.

“I want to be alone in silence.”

“Then, I’ll stay and keep you company.”

“Don’t. I’d like some peace and quiet.” His mind was now chaotic because of Emily, so he wanted some time alone.

“Alright then. Call for me if you need anything,” said Xyla.

Jeremy nodded gently.

Xyla slowly got up and made her way outside.

Emily, who was eavesdropping outside, heard everything clearly. Her swollen face was now shrouded with murderous intent.

This sh*tty Xyla Quest was really good at feigning innocence. She had already known but chose not to expose her because she had predicted that Emily would frame her. Hence, she had deliberately kept quiet to wait for Emily to cause a scene and then embarrass herself.

Emily started recalling hard, when did Xyla take her pulse?

As she pondered, a memory suddenly enlightened her. She remembered! It was the day when she and Tom got engaged. That night, Emily had gone to boast in front of Xyla, and Xyla had touched her wrist.

Back then, she did not feel that anything was off, but now that she thought about it again, it was frightening! Xyla Quest was too shameless!

Hearing footsteps come nearer, she let go of the door and simply hid beside it.

The moment Xyla came out, their eyes met.

The murderous intent in Emily’s eyes grew more frightening.

However, Xyla merely glared at her before simply ignoring her and turning away to head downstairs.

Emily hastened over and pulled Xyla’s arm at the head of the stairs. Lowering her voice, she said through gritted teeth, “You really know how to feign innocence in front of Dad. What do you mean by keeping it a secret because of the family?

“You f*cking knew that something like would happen, so you intentionally beat me at my own game to checkmate me today, making me the one losing my reputation instead,” Emily added.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
