Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 35

When Xyla Quest first paid for the news article to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet, she only paid for a single day’s worth of exposure. Logically speaking, the other party did not have to refuse Tom Sullivan’s offer.

Now that something like this had happened, someone else was clearly pulling a prank on Emily Quest apart from Xyla.

Who was this person? Could it be one of the Sullivan family’s competitors? Regardless of who did it, Xyla found this entire ordeal to be impressive.

As soon as May Conner heard what Emily Quest said, she immediately pressed her ear against Emily’s phone.

Emily pushed May away, annoyedly, before walking over to the French window.

“Can’t you understand the human language? I was just about to call you and ask you about who you messed with.” Tom Sullivan sounded very angry.

“Who else could I have messed with? Xyla Quest is the only person… Xyla must be behind this! She was the one who paid for the story to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet in the first place,” Emily said before clenching her fists.

“What proof do you have that Xyla did it? You were the one who was dragged into the police station under broad daylight. Wouldn’t it be normal for someone to have filmed you and shared the video on the internet for someone as famous as you?

“Also, my offer of thirty million dollars had been refused today. They even told me that they wouldn’t take it down regardless of how much I paid. Do you think Xyla is capable of that?

“Can you stop being so cunning and stop blaming everything on Xyla? You really disgust me.”

Tom Sullivan sounded increasingly annoyed. In fact, it sounded as if he hated Emily.

To Emily, these words pierced through her heart like jabs from a knife.

The feeling of jealousy surfaced once again.

What kind of man would defend an outsider? Emily was annoyed that Tom stood by Xyla. In fact, Tom even dissed the woman who would soon become his wife for Xyla, an outsider.

The way Tom called Xyla by her name in such an affectionate way made Emily feel disgusted.
