Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 419

"Ahhh!!!" Mary Sullivan was hysterical while she stepped on the accelerator forcefully and sped forward.

Her hatred against Xyla Quest grew even more.

Mary wished she could skin Xyla alive and drink her blood.

Beep, beep, beep... Mary's phone began to ring after she had driven not too far away.

When she saw it was a call from her father, her heart instantly started beating wildly. Her hands on the steering wheel began to tremble wildly too.

After taking a deep breath, she stopped her car by the road and frightfully answered the call.

"Mary Sullivan!!! Is it so hard for you to not embarrass me for a single day? How did I end up raising a child like you? Where are you? Get your ass back here right now!" Tony Sullivan shouted angrily. Mary immediately shuddered.

"Didn't you say you bought that necklace for fifty million dollars? Didn't you say it was the original? If it's a counterfeit, surely it would not have cost so much, right? Tell me. What did you do with the rest of the money?"

"You've got a lot of nerve to cheat money from your family! Get your ass back here in an hour. Otherwise, don't ever come back!" Tony shouted angrily once more.

Completely terrified, Mary shuddered again before quickly hanging up.

After putting her phone in her handbag, she pressed her trembling hands together.

What should she do?

Right then, she felt like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Meanwhile, Xyla had prepared a bubble bath for herself. She leisurely sprinkled a layer of red rose petals over the white foamy surface before stepping into the bath.

Slowly, she applied a golden mask over her face and picked up her phone to have a look at Mary Sullivan's latest news on Weibo.

When Xyla saw how those marketing accounts scrambled to expose Mary wearing a counterfeit, she subconsciously smiled in a beautiful way.

Her gaze continued to shift down while various hateful comments against Mary came into sight. The stream of never-ending texts made left Xyla in a very good mood.

Beep, beep, beep... Right then, Xyla received a call from Diana.

Xyla pressed the button to answer right away. After that, she put the call on loudspeaker and placed it by her side. She then leaned back into the bathtub lazily with her hands gently holding onto the edges. Her body sank ever so slightly into the tub with only her head and neck still above water.

"I did just as you asked. Satisfied?" Diana asked in less than fluent Chinese.

"Yeah... Thank you," Xyla said softly.

"You're welcome... It's something I should do."

"Well then, I shan't distract you from work... I'm taking a bath now," Xyla added.

"Okay. Rest well. Goodnight," Diana said.

After that, Diana hung up the phone.

White snowy mist continuously rose above the bubbles, and the scent of roses wafted through the room.

The light, fragrant scent put Xyla at ease.

Mary had just walked into the living room when a teacup was sent flying toward her head.

She quickly tried to dodge it with her eyes wide in shock, but she didn't manage to avoid it in time.

The teacup hit her on the left side of her face, the area that was already swollen from being slapped earlier. Now, it felt even more painful.

Her skin and flesh became even more swollen, and a shade of purple now spread across her cheek.
