Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 47

When May Conner saw what Emily Quest did, she immediately snatched the wine glass away from Emily. May tapped Emily on her arm. “My child, are you mad? Since you are pretending to be pregnant, you should act the part. Why are you drinking? What if your dad or other people see you?”

Emily frowned unhappily before she looked around. “It’s late already. Everyone has gone to sleep. Who would see me? Besides, I’m not that unlucky.”

“Please be careful!” May said seriously.

“I know,” Emily snorted coldly. She appeared fully confident.

Outside, a red Maserati came to a halt in the courtyard. Exhausted, Xyla Quest gave her forehead a pinch before she unbuckled her seatbelt.

However, instead of getting out of the car immediately, she plopped down into her seat and zoned out.

Ever since the preparations for the property launch started, she had been working overtime. She continuously motivated herself to keep working hard. Now that she had accomplished her goal and was completely exhausted, she appeared almost like a deflated balloon.

Since the sales went very well today, she had celebrated with her team. After drinking a tad bit too much, she was feeling a little tipsy right now.

After some time, Xyla finally dragged herself exhaustedly into the house.

As soon as she walked in, Emily and May rolled their eyes at her.

The red lipstick stain on the wine glass above the coffee table caught Xyla’s eyes. After her gaze lingered for a moment on the lipstick stain, Xyla turned to look at Emily’s red lips. Without saying a word, Xya proceeded to walk upstairs directly.

Right then, Jeremy Quest walked down the stairs excitedly. When he saw Xyla, he immediately hastened his footsteps to approach her and slapped her on her shoulder. “Xyla, you did amazing today. You made me very proud. A lot of my friends even called me on the phone to give you compliments.”

When May and Emily heard Jeremy’s compliments, they felt even more jealous. They both felt the urge to tear Xyla apart right then.

“Dad, you speak too highly of me.” Xyla chuckled.
