Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 406

“For the time being, I still haven’t been able to find anything. Please give me more time…” The man’s voice could be heard from the other end of the call.

“Why haven’t you found anything? Are you useless?” Emily Quest said disappointedly. She seemed very unhappy.

“Miss Quest, could it be… that there’s nothing at fault with your sister’s husband? Why else can’t I find anything?” The man asked carefully.

“That’s impossible. Keep investigating. My intuition is never wrong. If you haven’t found anything, why did you call me?” Emily yelled scornfully.

“I just called to tell you that my pay for this month is late by two days.”

“I know! I’ll give you one more month. If you can’t find anything, you can get lost,” Emily said through gritted teeth before hanging up right away.

Downstairs, Xyla Quest was still the center of attention.

There was an increasing number of women surrounding her. They kept trying to talk to her about the vice president’s wife.

Having to suddenly deal with so many people, Xyla felt extremely troubled.

Meanwhile, Stanley Batton quietly returned to his seat. He crossed one leg over the other while he silently looked at his phone on the couch.

Jeremy Quest stood next to Xyla with a smile on his face while he looked at her.

May Conner, on the other hand, was feeling increasingly upset.

This was supposed to be her birthday party, but what had it become now? Those who didn’t know might even think Xyla was the birthday girl.

Due to lessons learned in the past, May didn’t dare to show that she was upset. Instead, she could only pretend to treat everyone kindly while she looked at them. “Hey, everyone… It’s time to eat. Why don’t all of you come with me to the backyard for food?”

Only when the crowd heard her voice did they shift their attention to May before smiling and nodding at her.
