Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 12

However, nobody picked up Emily Quest’s call.

After several attempts, the phone had actually been turned off!

Emily felt as if she was going mad.

Why did Josh Batton choose ten million dollars over forty million dollars? Did he have something against money?

Or did he have feelings for Xyla Quest? When Emily thought of this, she instantly became jealous, and her face darkened.

However, Emily very quickly rejected that thought. Why would a man like him fall for Xyla Quest? There were plenty of other beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

“What the hell is going on?!” Emily mumbled to herself with her fists clenched.

Meanwhile, Josh Batton’s fans were viciously attacking Emily on Weibo. It was driving her insane!

If she knew this was going to happen, she would not have shown off so proudly. When she recalled how she had insulted Xyla the night before, she felt extremely embarrassed.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

The phone next to her bed started ringing. Emily instantly picked it up.

“Get your a*s down here right now!” Jeremy Quest shouted into the phone.

Emily shuddered when she heard his voice.

Afraid to even speak, Emily hung up and quickly changed into a set of white clothes.

She knew she was in deep trouble.

Within a few days, Emily had embarrassed the family on Weibo for the second time.

Knowing that her dad would not forgive her, she was not keen to head downstairs.

However, she knew that she would not be able to avoid the encounter for a long time.

Therefore, Emily trembled as she headed downstairs.

When she arrived downstairs, Xyla Quest, May Conner, and Jeremy Quest were seated side by side on the living room couch.

Jeremy looked angry as he read through the news of how Emily had made a joke of herself on the internet.

Meanwhile, May seemed extremely worried and lost in thought.

On the other hand, Xyla appeared completely calm as she looked at her phone.

With her head down, Emily approached Jeremy but dared not look him in the eyes. “Dad, why… Why did you ask me to come down?” She asked nervously.

Jeremy threw the phone at Emily. “What do you think? Why do I have a daughter like you? You’re embarrassing me nearly every two to three days.”

Looking at Emily right now, Jeremy felt even more annoyed at the sight of her.

“They had already promised to sign the contract with me. All I did was share it on WeChat with my friends. How am I supposed to know that they would leak out the news? Also, how would I have known that Josh Batton and his company would go back on their words?”

“How were you supposed to know? Aren’t you aware of how gossip spreads around? If you can’t even handle such a small matter, how am I supposed to count on you in the future? With your talkative personality, the company’s secret would be known to everyone!”

Jeremy’s words made Emily and May shiver simultaneously.

Neither of them thought that such a small matter could have been linked to this.
