Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 252

“Xyla, although Mary went a little too far, don’t you think sending her to prison is too harsh?” asked Tony.

Xyla snorted coldly. “Do you really think it’s too harsh?”

“I think it is. All Mary did was get a few people riled up to yell at you. There wasn’t any actual damage done.”

Xyla could not believe that Tony had just said that. What did he mean there was no actual damage done? Weren’t being verbally attacked and framed with ill intentions considered a form of damage?

“You weren’t emotionally hurt. Therefore, you wouldn’t understand how painful it is,” said Xyla with a bitter smile.

“Okay, okay. Xyla, I understand. However, things have already happened. I’ll apologize on her behalf. Please do me a favor and let her go, will you?”

Tony sounded very sincere, but Xyla knew that his sincerity was completely fake. She knew the Sullivan family better than anyone else. The only reason he sounded sincere was because he felt truly afraid that his daughter would be sent to prison.

“I’m sorry. I can’t do that. Uncle Sullivan, if there’s nothing else I can do for you, I’m hanging up,” said Xyla before directly ending the phone conversation.

Immediately after she did so, Tony called her on the phone again. When Xyla saw the incoming call, she pressed the button to reject the call before starting her car and driving off.

She was well aware that rejecting Tony could result in what Mary warned her about. Tony might very well withdraw his investment from the project he and the Quest family were working together on.

The project in question was a property development in a high-end tourist area. It was a collaboration between the Quest family and the Sullivan family. In total, twenty billion dollars had been invested—twelve billion dollars from the Quest family and eight billion dollars from the Sullivan family.

This was a collaboration both families had agreed on before the Dragon Group withdrew their investment from the Sullivan family.
