Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 167

The harsh comments were never-ending. United by a common enemy, netizens had now set the Sullivan Group, Tom Sullivan, and Emily Quest as their main targets.

Shifting her eyes to an economics news official channel that she was following, Xyla read the news that the channel had just announced.

'Due to an unnamed factory under the Sullivan Group using expired ingredients, and with Tom Sullivan and Emily Quest's scandals added into the mix, Dragon Group plans to withdraw their investment in the Sullivan Group.

The Sullivan Group's share price is currently plummeting, and in the short span of three days, the Sullivan Group's market worth has been reduced by three hundred billion dollars. According to our sources, the Sullivan family's eldest young master, Julian Sullivan, will be returning to the scene to help the Sullivan Group avert this disaster.

For now, the Sullivan Group is actively cooperating with relevant departments on related investigations."

This news revealed two important things.

Firstly, the Sullivan Group had been kicked while they were down. Dragon Group's withdrawal would only make their disastrous situation worse. Secondly, Tom Sullivan's status as heir of the Sullivan family was in danger. The position of inheritor of the Sullivan Group would definitely return to Julian Sullivan.

Everything was going according to her prediction, without any deviation from its tracks.

Xyla breathed a long sigh of relief before starting the car and turning on the radio. A gentle piano piece absolutely befitting of the current atmosphere played. The comforting tune helped her relax even more. With snowflakes once again fluttering down from the skies, the night sky was a gorgeous painting.

A little while after Xyla left, Zack entered Stanley's house.

"The Chairman called you earlier. You didn't answer, so he called me instead," Zack announced respectfully to the man who was puffing out smoke on the sofa.

Leaning against the backrest with a lazy gaze, Stanley took a long draw of his cigarette before slowly breathing out the smoke. "My dad? What's up?"

His phone had run out of battery earlier, so he left it charging inside the bedroom. He must have accidentally silenced it, which is why he had not heard his father's call.

"He said that Madam has told him about your matters with the young madam, the young madam's conflicts with Tom Sullivan and Emily Quest, and your matter with Tom Sullivan. He wanted me to express deep praises of your actions on his behalf. The Chairman has also asked you to keep it up without having to consider too much. He will support you," said Zack, speaking in great seriousness. Fifth Master's parents were undoubtedly the best aristocratic parents-in-law he had ever seen.

"Got it," said Stanley.

"The Chairman also said that our young madam is a pitiful creature, and hopes that you can treat her well. If you dare to mistreat the young madam, he will..."

Stanley mildly cocked up an eyebrow, asking with interest, "He will what?"

"He will switch out the heir of the Dragon Group. Besides this, he will also return to the country personally to... to..." Zack trailed off, replaceing it difficult to say what came next. "Personally to... ?"

"Personally, to beat you to death," Zack added.

The smile on Stanley's lips gradually deepened. "Got it."

"The Chairman even said that although he has no idea what game you're playing with the young madam, he hopes that you can do better and give him a grandchild soon." "Got it," said Stanley.

Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt...

Just then, Zack's phone vibrated again. Wilson Batton was calling.

After first glancing at Stanley out of reflex, Zack immediately answered respectfully, "Hello, Chairman."

"Have you met Old Fifth?"

"Yeah, he's beside me."

"Pass the phone to that brat." His tone was exactly the same as Stanley's.

Zack carefully handed the phone to Stanley.

Stanley leisurely took a draw of smoke before saying, "Dad."
