Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 205

After that, he went ahead upstairs and called the police to inform them not to come over, saying that it was all just a misunderstanding.

“Go and eat. I’ll come to find you later.” Xyla smiled at the man beside her. Her tone was tender as usual.

“Okay.” Stanley lifted his hand to gently caress her head.

This action made her heart skip a beat.

However, as many pairs of eyes were watching, she could not say anything but simply turn to go upstairs.

She followed Jeremy into the study.

Upon entrance, Jeremy closed the door with a stern expression before walking over to the expensive rosewood desk and sitting down.

Xyla stood across him.

“Xyla… When did you install the surveillance camera at home?” Jeremy asked directly. “And when did you find out that Emily was never pregnant? You seem prepared like you have known this all along.”

Xyla gently swept her ponytail back before answering truthfully, “I’ve actually known a long time ago. I just didn’t want to expose her, so I endured it.

“But with my understanding of Emily, I was afraid she would use such a thing to get me in trouble, so I’ve always been cautious of her, carrying the stick-on hidden camera with me at any time as a precaution.

“Today, when she suddenly called me upstairs to meet in private, I was afraid that she would do something to me, so I wore the stick-on camera in advance. I was afraid that I couldn’t clear my name,” Xyla explained earnestly.

“Particularly, when did you find out? And why didn’t you tell me?” Jeremy asked.

“The moment she announced that she was pregnant, I was suspicious about her lying and bribing the doctor just so she wouldn’t lose Tom Sullivan.

“So, I quietly took her pulse. I’ve learned a few medical skills from Dr. Batton, so I confirmed my suspicions once I’ve checked her pulse.

“As for why I didn’t tell you, it’s because I don’t want the family to be in conflict again because of this issue,” Xyla added.
