Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 120

After that, the group stood up together to toast with the newlyweds. Emily had first held her glass to Jeremy.

Yet, before her glass had touched his, Jeremy immediately retrieved his glass and finished his wine with a dark expression.

After that, everyone else lifted their heads and finished their wine.

Emily was not surprised by her father’s reaction. It was already good enough that he was willing to cooperate and attend today’s wedding to maintain the Quest family and Sullivan family image.

Hence, she did not expect him to be friendly toward her at all.

She knew full well that she and her mother still had a huge battle to fight after this.

Emily put her glass down but showed no intention of leaving immediately. She turned to Xyla and asked, “Sister, where is my brother-in-law? Didn’t you say he would attend my wedding with you?”

“Xyla, I wanted to ask you as well. Why isn’t your husband here?” Jeremy asked. Although he seemed unbothered, he was actually annoyed that the man did not show.

He felt that the man was inappropriate! That he did not show any manners!

“As my brother-in-law, isn’t it inappropriate for him to not attend my wedding? Isn’t he a little rude? Are you afraid that he would embarrass you? That’s why you didn’t bring him along?”

Emily’s words were harsh. She never intended to leave Xyla with any respect. She now further affirmed her assumptions that Xyla’s husband was ugly and had no status; otherwise, Xyla would have brought him along.

“I think it must be the latter, isn’t it? Sister Xyla is afraid of being embarrassed so… she simply didn’t bring him along, right?” Mary laughed as she spoke with an ignorant look on her face.

Even with the elders of both families here, Mary did not look at all concerned.

Just then, Emily’s aunt and uncle both came over hand in hand.
