Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 3

After the engagement ceremony ended in Silver International Hotel’s high-class dining hall, Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan joyfully followed behind their parents as they approached each table to raise their glasses.

However, wherever they went, people rolled their eyes at them after they had walked away.-

Unfortunately, the Quest family and the Sullivan family were clueless about what had happened, and they kept a smile on their faces.

Meanwhile, Emily Quest, who had a lot of make-up on her face, was smiling from ear to ear. She seemed proud of herself, no doubt accentuated by the long, red gown with an alluring tube top.

The Sullivan family owned a food company that ranked top five in the world. Compared to the Quest family and the other famous women and their families, the Sullivan family was financially much better positioned.

As the fiancée of the Sullivan family, Emily would undoubtedly make everyone in the circle of famous women jealous.

Meanwhile, the fact that Tom Sullivan had managed to get rid of Xyla Quest, the fat woman, and gotten engaged with the truly rich and beautiful Emily Quest made her feel even more joyful.

The rich housewives, who had already found out about the news on the internet, were gossiping about Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan behind their backs.

“I’ve said it before that Emily Quest looks like a b*tch. See what I mean? It’s been proven.”

“Tom Sullivan looks like a gentleman. How could he be such a jerk? You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“My heart goes out to Xyla Quest. Although she does look a little hideous, she is a kind person. Unfortunately, she developed feelings for the wrong person.”

As soon as Xyla Quest walked in the door, she locked her gaze on Tom Sullivan and the Quest family. When she saw how pleased Emily Quest looked, she was certain that the couple was still unaware of what had happened.

Xyla felt secretly happy that the couple had no idea they were being stabbed at behind their backs.

Dressed in a champagne-colored evening gown, Xyla Quest stood out from the crowd. With her long black hair curled around her shoulders, she portrayed the qualities of elegance, style, and nobility.

Even with a simple layer of foundation on her face, she was already indescribably beautiful. It felt as if a woman like her should always stay in a clean place. Any sort of touch by another person would be considered contamination of her purity.

Very soon, several men approached Xyla and introduced themselves as they complimented her for her beauty and asked her where she was from.

After five years since she last experienced this, Xyla had mixed feelings about it.

Calmly, she smiled at them and lifted her gown slightly before walking elegantly over to Tom Sullivan and Emily Quest.

However, as soon as Tom Sullivan set his eyes upon her, he stopped breathing and seemed terribly shocked.

Who was this? Xyla… Xyla Quest?

Was she not the unimaginably fat woman? How had she become this good-looking now?

Tom Sullivan could not take his eyes off her.

Clearly, she had only put on an evening gown and barely had any make-up on her. In fact, she did not even wear any other accessories.

Effortlessly, she outshone Emily, who had plenty of make-up on her. Xyla was now the center of attention of all males in the room.

Although Emily was pretty, she did not have intricate facial features, and there was something about her that made her quite plain.

However, Xyla was different. She was pretty from head to toe.

Like a work of art given extra attention by god’s hand, Xyla was pretty but not fragile, almost like a fairy who was paying a visit to the human realm.

Tom Sullivan suddenly felt a sense of regret wash over him. If he had known she could recover her former beauty, he would not have dumped her.

Parents of both the Quest family and the Sullivan family seemed equally shocked.

Jeremy Quest stared at his beautiful and favorite daughter in disbelief. “Xyla, is it really you? Where have you been for the past three years? Why didn’t you keep in touch with your family? And how did you transform into this state?”

Although Jeremy Quest heard that Xyla might have eloped with someone else, he did not believe that was true because he understood his daughter very well…

When Xyla saw how emotional her father seemed, she felt very guilty.

Back then, to focus on her recovery, Xyla did not even contact her father.

“Dad, it’s a long story. Let’s talk about it when we get home,” Xyla answered.

Jeremy nodded repeatedly. “Okay… Okay… Okay.”
