Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 449

Immediately after he ended his sentence, Jeremy Quest continued. "Worry not, Xyla. I'll deal with him for you."

Xyla simply laughed gently. "Don't be hasty, dad. The woman in the picture is his blood-related sister."

"What?!" Jeremy was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, she's been studying overseas all this time. Don't be angry with him anymore, I'm doing very well with my husband," Xyla explained in a serious but calm voice. "That's... That's great to hear..." Jeremy sighed in relief as he slowly calmed down.

After she was done explaining, Xyla continued to talk with Jeremy for a while. Nearing the end, the smile on her face faded and she began to furrow her brows again. Once the call ended, Jeremy immediately went to the washroom.

Emily Quest could barely hold her excitement and whispered in May Conner's ear, "Mary Sullivan's definitely done a good job this time!"

May snorted, pleased with the situation. "Let's see whether that brat can still be as arrogant as she usually is after this."

Emily didn't reply, but she cupped her hands over her mouth as she secretly smiled.

A flushing sound was heard and the mother and daughter immediately ceased their whispering. Emily quickly put on her usual depressed facade. After washing his hands, Jeremy walked out of the washroom.

May Conner pretended to be worried and stood up. She slowly walked toward Jeremy before asking, "Darling? Is Xyla going to be okay?" Emily could barely hold her anticipation for his answer but she continued to look toward the floor, still pretending to be depressed.

Both of them wanted to hear him say that Xyla was doing terribly.

Jeremy walked closer to both of them and sat by May's side. "She's doing fine."

May let out a long sigh. "How could that be? Is she just saying she's fine so that we won't be worried about her? Xyla, that poor, poor child...” Emily almost laughed out. She pressed her thumb against her index finger so that the pain would allow her to control her emotions better.

"She told me that the girl on the news is just Stan's sister. No need to worry about it any longer," Jeremy explained.

Upon hearing that, May and Emily didn't think much about it.

Both of them assumed that it was probably just a lie to cover up her embarrassment.

May held onto Jeremy's arm gently. "Darling, couldn't she just be lying to us? We've never heard of Xyla mention about him having a sister. Could it be that she's just too afraid that we'll be overly worried about her?"

Jeremy simply shook his head. "That's quite impossible. Xyla would never lie to us. Alright, I need to return to my office now."

Upon finishing his sentence, Jeremy left the room immediately.

After he left, Emily approached her mother and asked, "...Mom, what do you think about this?"

"I think the brat's just lying to save her image... She's never mentioned about Stanley's sister before," May snorted.

Emily snorted as well. "We both have the same idea."

"If we're both thinking the same thing, Mary would definitely not believe the story either. Let's wait for her to solve the mystery. We just need to remain calm for now and wait for Xyla to continue embarrassing herself." In her mind, May was already scheming several ideas.

"That's for sure. Based on Xyla's personality, she would definitely post a clarification message. The message would definitely make the issue go viral again." Emily's lips curved upwards as she smiled coldly.
