Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 149

Right then, the door to the last room at the end of the walkway was opened.

Julian Sullivan appeared in his wheelchair.

Dressed in white pajamas, his fair skin seemed almost jade-like. It was as if his elegance was a quality he was born with.

When Julian came out from his room, he witnessed Tom being taken away by the police officers. Julian immediately narrowed his eyes and stopped wheeling himself forward. Emily Quest saw Julian the moment she turned around.

Julian quickly showed a cheerful expression.

"Little sister, what happened to Tom?" He asked.

Emily immediately came up with a thought before she hurried over and explained everything to Julian.

"Big brother, can we keep this from your parents? If anything happens to Tom again, it would really be over for him," Emily said.

Although Emily had not interacted much with Julian, she always knew that Julian was a good brother to Tom. Ever since they were kids, Julian had looked after Tom very well. Therefore, she knew that Julian would agree to help her out.

"Okay." Julian smiled warmly before he nodded.

"Do not let anyone in the family replace out about this. Who else knows that the police officers were in the house?" Julian asked the maid.

"Nobody else. I'm the only person still awake at this hour." The maid shook her head immediately.

"Alright. Remember what I said. Otherwise, you will be leaving this house for good," Julian said with a serious expression.

"Yes, master," the maid nodded respectfully before quickly walking away.

The following morning, Xyla Quest was woken up by a call from Georgie Clementine.

As the sun shone through the white snow-like curtains, it fell upon Xyla's fair skin which appeared to be glowing.

After stretching lazily, Xyla laid down on the bed while she faced the sunlight and placed the phone over her ear without holding it with her hand.

"President Xyla... I've received a piece of news. I don't know who gave the orders to Weibo, but the news about Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan are being kept on the list of most popular topics on the internet. Apparently, Weibo isn't allowed to remove them until the person says so," Georgie said.

When Xyla heard this, she immediately stopped feeling sleepy.

Xyla could not believe what she was hearing.

The person Georgie was referring to was probably the same person who kept Emily's bad news on the number one spot on the list of most popular topics on the internet. He was also the same person who exposed Emily pleading guilty through the video on the day of Emily's wedding.

Who was this person and how did he have so much power?

The person probably did not only hate Emily. It was likely that he was also targeting the Sullivan family.

What kind of rivalry existed between these two parties for the person to go this far?

"Hey, President Xyla, are you listening?" Georgie asked.

Xyla's thoughts were interrupted by Georgie's voice.

"Yeah, I'm listening. Who is this person you speak of?" Xyla immediately recollected herself.

"I don't know, but I think it's probably the same person who messed with Emily. I must say, he has been a great help to us. Indirectly, he has saved us from going through a lot of trouble. You know what? My friend told me that the Sullivan family gave Weibo a call early in the morning for them to take those posts down. They were willing to pay any amount of money. However, Weibo's person in charge directly refused them. The person said that he would be in great trouble if he removed those news articles," Georgie said in an increasingly excited tone.

"That's amazing," Xyla answered after stretching heartily.

"Isn't that so? I am truly curious who this person is. From the looks of things, I think this person must be very influential. I wonder what the Sullivan family and Emily Quest did to make a powerful man like this upset," Georgie added.

"I am equally curious," Xyla said.

"Oh, right. There's one more thing..." Georgie said.
