Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 5

There was a clear record of Emily Quest purchasing marketing accounts to spread various false rumors about Xyla Quest eloping with another man and a few screenshots of transfers made through her account.

Jeremy Quest felt a burning rage in his heart.

“Someone, bring me my whip!” Jeremy exclaimed angrily.

Emily Quest immediately started panicking. “Dad… You… What are you doing?”

Jeremy did not respond to her.

May Conner grabbed Jeremy’s hand tightly. “Darling, Emily has very weak limbs. How could she possibly stand being whipped? Please don’t do it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a bodyguard brought a whip over to Jeremy.

Without saying a word, Jeremy accepted the whip and whipped Emily mercilessly.

Responding out of fear, Emily attempted to dodge the whip. However, it still landed on her back.

The pain caused tears to fill her eyes.

May immediately hugged Emily tightly and cried out, “Darling, Emily knows that she is wrong. If you must hit someone to vent your anger, do it to me!”

Jeremy raised his head yet again. However, May did not budge.

In the end, he dangled the whip in the air.

After glaring at Emily, Jeremy turned to look at May. “She’s become like this because of you!”

Jeremy turned around and walked up the stairs.

Xyla knew this was going to happen.

After all, Xyla and Emily were both his beloved daughters. There was nothing he could do to Emily.

Nonchalantly, Xyla glanced at Emily and May before she proceeded to walk upstairs.

However, after taking a few steps up the staircase, she could hear Emily’s voice. “Wait a second, Xyla Quest.”

Xyla knew what Emily wanted to say. Therefore, she ignored Emily and continued to walk upstairs.

“Did you see? Dad clearly still loves me more. So what if you revealed the truth? Dad only whipped me once.” Emily Quest snorted coldly with a pleased look on her face.

After finishing her sentence, Emily took one step further up the stairs and looked down coldly at Xyla. “Even if you won’t admit it, I know that you came back to exact revenge this time.

“However, Xyla Quest… Stop dreaming. There’s nothing you can do to me.

“I really don’t understand why you need to overreact to what I did.

“You were so ugly that you deserved to have your boyfriend snagged. Even if I didn’t do it, someone else would have done it.

“Besides, you ought to have been dumped by Brother Sullivan anyway. Do you think donating your kidney meant you could force him to be with you for the rest of your life?

“Xyla Quest, why are you so shameless?”

Emily said those words through gritted teeth as she frowned the entire time.

Those words hit Xyla like needles against her eardrums. The person in front of her clearly had a twisted mind.

However, Xyla could not be bothered to argue with Emily. Instead, Xyla ignored Emily and continued to walk up the stairs.

***

At precisely eight o’clock, Xyla Quest entered the Southern Misty Lake Room in Dreamland Hotel.

By then, Josh Batton had already arrived and was seated next to the window. He was playing his phone as he leaned against the window lazily.

Wearing a champagne-colored tuxedo coupled with a white T-shirt and white shoes, Josh appeared neat and approachable.

Not only did this man have handsome facial features, but he also gave off a youthful vibe. He was almost like a priceless work of art.

Right then, Xyla could not help but think about the man she had met in the hotel earlier.

It was because Josh looked a little like that man.

However, that man was hardly approachable. Meanwhile, Josh exuded an approachable aura, almost like a kind boy-next-door.

When Josh saw Xyla, he immediately walked up to her and greeted her with an extended hand. “President Xyla, it’s nice meeting you.”

The warm smile on his face nearly melted Xyla’s heart.
