Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 81

“Emily Quest, how could you do something like this? Don’t you think that’s too much?” Tom Sullivan asked with a frown.

“There’s something even worse,” Xyla Quest glanced at Emily coldly before pouring herself another glass of fruit juice.

“There’s another voice recording down there. Open it up,” Xyla said while she took a sip.

Emily immediately felt panicked. What else could there be? Was there proof of her asking someone to make the whole thing up? That can’t be. Please, no!

If that came out at the same time, Emily was doomed.

Emily eyed Xyla up and down nervously. She did not dare to even look at Jeremy’s face while she proceeded to open the second voice recording with trembling hands.

“I didn’t want to make anything up. Emily Quest kept asking me to do it. We are friends. Therefore, it was difficult for me to reject her. She said she would never let Imperial Prime perform well in its sales. She could not allow Xyla Quest to succeed so easily. Hence, she wanted to create a rumor so that the sold units would be refunded. The entire program would fail in Xyla’s hands.” The person who said this was Emily’s good friend, Muffy, who was also a professional hacker.

‘Oh, god. Has he been captured? Didn’t he have excellent anti-spying abilities? Why were they able to catch him so soon?’ Emily thought while her mind began to run wild after hearing the recordings.

Her hands were trembling even harder now.

No…

This should not have been how things turned out. Why was Xyla this powerful? Shouldn’t Xyla be the unlucky one today? Why was it Emily again? Emily had happily invited Tom over so that he could see Xyla being treated like a fool. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, what had happened instead? Emily ended up kicking herself on the back! Why was God always on Xyla’s side?

Since Tom already hated Emily in the first place, he would probably hate her even more now.

Feelings of panic, anger, and jealousy filled Emily. She felt as if a thousand needles were being pushed into her back.

At the same time, May Conner was also feeling deeply afraid. She had no idea how to deal with what was happening. Why had things turned out this way? Emily had told her that the whole situation would go smoothly.

Meanwhile, Tom was thoroughly shocked. He felt that Emily was beyond salvation. In order to make Xyla fail, she had put her own family’s business on the line. What would she do tomorrow? Would she make a bet on the entire Sullivan family’s fate just to mess with another person?

This woman was terrifying! How could Tom be blind enough to fall for this ‘thing’? She was truly a demon!

Jeremy was too angry to speak. He fixed his cold gaze on Emily’s face.

Meanwhile, Xyla was the only person who could still calmly drink her juice. From the corner of her eyes, she could see the women and Tom’s facial expressions. A satisfactory smile appeared on her face.

Emily and her mother had brought it upon themselves. They would have been fine if they did not try to mess with Xyla.

Xyla figured that Tom was most likely here because Emily invited him over to make a fool of Xyla in front of her family.

Emily really was too naïve. Did Emily really think Xyla was dumb enough to give her the opportunity to do so? Was Emily happy now?

“Dad… I… None of this is real. It’s Xyla… It must be Xyla who set this up to blame everything on me. She wants to bring me down so that she can take over the Quest family’s business!” Emily mustered the courage to stand up and look at Jeremy Quest while she explained.

As soon as she finished her sentence, she subconsciously clenched her fists tightly.
