Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 33

Sharon Lindt did not run after him. Instead, she took her phone out and began persuading her friends to buy Imperial Prime’s property on WeChat.

Due to how fast she was typing, it was nearly impossible for the WeChat group to catch up.

After Sharon was done with the introductions, her friends in the group indicated they were all interested.

Only then did Sharon put her phone down and sit on the couch.

After a second, she began mumbling to herself. “I must personally visit my daughter-in-law this coming Tuesday…”

Sharon proceeded to call Dior’s chief designer. “I am meeting a very important person. Design a set of clothes for me. I want it to be stylish but not too over-the-top. It should make me look very young. I don’t mind paying any price for it.”

This was the first time Sharon was meeting her daughter-in-law. Therefore, she needed to make a good impression.

After spending an entire day with the Sullivan family, Emily Quest finally returned home joyfully in the evening.

Ever since they verified that she was pregnant, the Sullivan family had not stopped discussing her wedding. In fact, Tom Sullivan’s father had even personally said that they should hold the wedding two weeks later.

Emily and Tom had both agreed.

Realizing that she would soon seal the deal with Tom, Emily felt even happier than when she celebrated a new year as a child.

When she walked, her feet felt much lighter.

When May Conner, who had been waiting for Emily in the living room, saw that Emily had returned, she immediately turned off the television and grabbed Emily by her shoulders. “My dear daughter, is what you said on WeChat true? Are you really getting married after two weeks? This soon?”

“Yeah. Uncle Sullivan was in a rush to get us married once he found out I was pregnant,” Emily said excitedly.

“I can’t believe they decided on the wedding date this quickly… After all, there are still many negative opinions on the internet about you and Tom Sullivan,” May added.

“The Sullivan family believes that regardless of whether we are married, there would be negative opinions as long as we are still together.

“Therefore, it’s probably better to get married sooner. After the wedding, we can participate in more charity events and improve our reputation. After all, people are forgetful these days. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Please talk to Dad. The Sullivan family will visit us tomorrow to discuss the wedding. You must make sure Dad is aware and agrees to it before they arrive, just in case something goes wrong,” Emily said seriously.

“Ahh, don’t worry,” May said cheerfully.

As Xyla Quest was making her way downstairs, she overheard the conversation between Emily and May.

Xyla was wearing misty-blue, laced pajamas that accentuated her fair skin. Even without make-up on, she still looked like an angel who had descended from the heavens. Since her right ankle was still hurting, she walked carefully with a limp.

Regardless of how she walked, her beauty was still unaffected.

Xyla was not exactly surprised by how the Sullivan family behaved. After all, Tom’s parents had always hoped to have grandchildren sooner.

However, Xyla did not fully believe that Emily was pregnant.

Whichever the case may be, Xyla had her own plans.

Since Xyla had spent the entire afternoon going through the information on her company’s newly recruited trainees, she was exhausted and had no intention of interacting with the two ladies.

Now that she was feeling hungry, she only wanted to get some food from the fridge before going to bed.

When Emily saw Xyla, her face turned cold. Emily immediately approached Xyla and blocked her way with an extended arm.
