Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 79

At the time, Emily Quest felt somewhat disappointed that Tom Sullivan would not be able to witness Xyla Quest’s downfall.

Now that Tom was here, it would be a great opportunity for him to witness all of it happening in front of Emily and her mother. By then, Emily was certain that Tom would have a bad impression of Xyla.

Cheerfully, Emily opened the door and found Tom standing outside.

Since it was snowing outside, there were layers of snow above his head and the shoulder caps of his dark blue woolen suit.

There was a worn expression on his face which seemed telling of the exhaustion he must be feeling.

“You don’t look like you have a bad stomach,” He said impatiently with a lowered tone.

“I really wasn’t feeling well when I called you, but I got better after a while for some unknown reason,” Emily explained hurriedly.

“Since you’re fine, I’m heading back to the office. I need to sort out a bunch of things at work,” Tom Sullivan said annoyedly before turning around and getting ready to leave with his arms crossed.

During this period, the Sullivan family had been going through a lot of trouble due to the negative media published about them. Hence, Tom faced an increased amount of work as well. Therefore, he did not want to waste his time and effort on this woman whom he hated.

However, Emily immediately stopped Tom from leaving while she reached for his arm. “Don’t leave, Brother Sullivan. Come and spend some time with me inside,” Emily said.

As soon as she spoke, Emily dragged Tom forcefully into the living room. While she did so, Tom kept a frown on his face to make it obvious that he was unwilling to cooperate.

However, the instant Tom saw Xyla, the frown on his face disappeared. He no longer seemed unhappy. It was as if his soul had been shocked.

The more Tom looked at Xyla, the prettier she seemed. After being away for three years, he found Xyla much more mature and attractive.

Therefore, Tom allowed Emily to drag him all the way to the couch.

While Emily sat next to Xyla, Tom sat on the other side next to Emily. After sitting down, Tom nodded at Jeremy Quest and May Conner politely. “Hi, Uncle and Aunt.”

“Yeah,” Jeremy grunted coldly. Due to the things Tom Sullivan had done, Jeremy hated him very much. Coupled with the fact that Jeremy was in a bad mood right now, he did not bother to react politely to Tom.

“Hello!” May Conner, on the other hand, seemed to glow with joy.

Meanwhile, Xyla had been ignoring them since the beginning. Without even looking at these people, she continued to read news related to the economy on her phone.

“Dad, let’s go back to our earlier topic. Since Xyla was the one who made you upset, why did you throw the phone at me? I’m a pregnant lady.” Emily was eager to get back into the conversation so that her father could teach Xyla a lesson in front of them.

While this thought occurred to Emily, she glanced over at Xyla and Tom.

If Brother Sullivan found out Xyla was trying to bite off more than she could chew, would he be disappointed in her? How mad would her father be? Emily was very much looking forward to their

reaction.

“Switch on your phone,” Jeremy said coldly while he tried to control his temper. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Out of curiosity, May glanced at Jeremy before pushing Xyla aside to sit next to Emily. May then picked up the phone and unlocked it to find out what Jeremy was trying to do.

Right then, Emily and Tom had also shifted their gazes to the screen of the phone.

After the phone screen was unlocked, a paused video came into sight. Emily pressed on it without even taking a moment to think.
