Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 78

“Things seem just fine. Husband, why are you yelling at Emily so angrily?” May Conner walked down the stairs before stopping at the final step and resting one hand on the railing while she looked at the others.

Thereafter, May glanced at Xyla Quest coldly before hurrying over to Jeremy Quest and leaning against the couch’s armrest. “Are you unhappy because many people are requesting a refund for their rooms in Imperial Prime, and it’s all because Xyla didn’t fulfill her responsibilities?” May asked.

However, Jeremy did not say a single word. He kept a solemn expression on his face while he stared straight ahead angrily.

If a person’s gaze could kill, Emily felt as if she would die on the spot.

When May saw Jeremy’s reaction, she subconsciously reassured herself that he could only be angry for the very reason she thought.

However, even if Jeremy were angry, how could he vent his emotions on May’s daughter? Clearly, Xyla was the one who had messed up.

“Xyla… If you knew you were not capable of handling all this, why did you force yourself to take up such huge responsibilities? Your father told you clearly that you needed to deal with the matter on your own, but you refused to listen,” May said.

“Do you think someone new to the industry like you would be capable of handling these things? Someone with less than ten years of experience in this market could not possibly get the job done. Do you really think of yourself as a superwoman? Also, Xyla, you are a married woman. Why do you still live as if you were a single lady? Don’t you have a husband who is also a doctor? Why didn’t he come back to help you when you were going through such a difficult time? What kind of man did you marry? He’s probably not as good a person as you claimed,” May added.

Right then, May only wanted to make things worse for Xyla. She hoped Jeremy would teach Xyla a huge lesson for being an ignorant brat.

However, Xyla remained silent and did not even bother to look at May when she spoke. Instead, Xyla quietly sipped on her juice and pretended as if it was not related to her at all.

This made May very upset. “Xyla, why aren’t you saying anything? Hurry up and apologize to your father. Being quiet won’t solve anything right now. Whatever was lost won’t be recovered just because you keep your mouth shut,” May said.

May’s words caused Jeremy’s facial expression to turn increasingly gloomy. He was beginning to clench his fists tightly.
