The stinging sensation began to spread across Xyla Quest’s cheek.
The red mark was obvious against Xyla’s fair skin.
On top of that, her face was also beginning to swell.
The feeling of rage Xyla was trying to suppress all this time was suddenly brought to the surface by May Conner’s slap.
Xyla immediately clenched her fists tightly.
Although she felt the urge to attack May in return, she knew that if she did that now, May would cause a scene that would only turn out badly for Xyla.
After looking around, Xyla landed her gaze upon the red fire alarm button.
After a second, Xyla shifted her gaze to May’s face and took a step forward.
“What did you just do?” Xyla asked coldly.
Once Xyla stepped forward, her elbow was directly next to the fire alarm button.
“What am I doing? I’m teaching you a lesson, of course. Xyla Quest, are you even a human? Never mind that you paid the police to bully your sister in prison and me. You even did all this to your little sister on her wedding day. How can you be so evil? Haven’t you done enough?” May made it sound as if she was on the moral high ground as she spoke every word.
Xyla thought it funny when she heard May’s words.
Clearly, May was saying that she and Emily could bully Xyla, but Xyla would be wrong if she retaliated.
It was a shameless and obnoxious way to think and speak.
“You really are shameless,” Xyla snorted coldly as she subtly pushed her elbow against the fire alarm button.
“Buzz…”
“Buzz… Buzz…”
In that instant, alarms began ringing throughout the building.
May subconsciously looked around wildly as she believed there was a fire somewhere in the building.
