Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 79

At the time, Emily Quest felt somewhat disappointed that Tom Sullivan would not be able to witness Xyla Quest’s downfall.

Now that Tom was here, it would be a great opportunity for him to witness all of it happening in front of Emily and her mother. By then, Emily was certain that Tom would have a bad impression of Xyla.

Cheerfully, Emily opened the door and found Tom standing outside.

Since it was snowing outside, there were layers of snow above his head and the shoulder caps of his dark blue woolen suit.

There was a worn expression on his face which seemed telling of the exhaustion he must be feeling.

“You don’t look like you have a bad stomach,” He said impatiently with a lowered tone.

“I really wasn’t feeling well when I called you, but I got better after a while for some unknown reason,” Emily explained hurriedly.

“Since you’re fine, I’m heading back to the office. I need to sort out a bunch of things at work,” Tom Sullivan said annoyedly before turning around and getting ready to leave with his arms crossed.

During this period, the Sullivan family had been going through a lot of trouble due to the negative media published about them. Hence, Tom faced an increased amount of work as well. Therefore, he did not want to waste his time and effort on this woman whom he hated.

However, Emily immediately stopped Tom from leaving while she reached for his arm. “Don’t leave, Brother Sullivan. Come and spend some time with me inside,” Emily said.

As soon as she spoke, Emily dragged Tom forcefully into the living room. While she did so, Tom kept a frown on his face to make it obvious that he was unwilling to cooperate.

However, the instant Tom saw Xyla, the frown on his face disappeared. He no longer seemed unhappy. It was as if his soul had been shocked.
