Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 205

After that, he went ahead upstairs and called the police to inform them not to come over, saying that it was all just a misunderstanding.

“Go and eat. I’ll come to find you later.” Xyla smiled at the man beside her. Her tone was tender as usual.

“Okay.” Stanley lifted his hand to gently caress her head.

This action made her heart skip a beat.

However, as many pairs of eyes were watching, she could not say anything but simply turn to go upstairs.

She followed Jeremy into the study.

Upon entrance, Jeremy closed the door with a stern expression before walking over to the expensive rosewood desk and sitting down.

Xyla stood across him.

“Xyla… When did you install the surveillance camera at home?” Jeremy asked directly. “And when did you find out that Emily was never pregnant? You seem prepared like you have known this all along.”

Xyla gently swept her ponytail back before answering truthfully, “I’ve actually known a long time ago. I just didn’t want to expose her, so I endured it.

“But with my understanding of Emily, I was afraid she would use such a thing to get me in trouble, so I’ve always been cautious of her, carrying the stick-on hidden camera with me at any time as a precaution.

“Today, when she suddenly called me upstairs to meet in private, I was afraid that she would do something to me, so I wore the stick-on camera in advance. I was afraid that I couldn’t clear my name,” Xyla explained earnestly.

“Particularly, when did you find out? And why didn’t you tell me?” Jeremy asked.

“The moment she announced that she was pregnant, I was suspicious about her lying and bribing the doctor just so she wouldn’t lose Tom Sullivan.

“So, I quietly took her pulse. I’ve learned a few medical skills from Dr. Batton, so I confirmed my suspicions once I’ve checked her pulse.

“As for why I didn’t tell you, it’s because I don’t want the family to be in conflict again because of this issue,” Xyla added.

Her words were partially true.

Why did she not tell her father? Naturally, because she predicted that Emily would use this to cause a scene.

Hence, Xyla deliberately gave her a chance, allowing her to scheme and plot so she would make a fool of herself in public like what happened today.

Because Xyla already knew that in this game of chess, Emily would definitely make this move.

Tom Sullivan was starting to despise Emily due to many reasons, so, with Xyla’s understanding of him, he would never touch Emily.

If Emily wanted to cover this up, there were only two ways. One was to sleep with someone else; two was to frame Xyla.

Based on her understanding of Emily, the girl would never have the guts to find another because if this ever got exposed, she would suffer more than just being chased out of the Sullivan family.

Hence, Xyla concluded that Emily would choose the second route, which was framing her. To make her lose all reputation, her father’s trust, and to also make her the target of the Sullivan family.

As for the timing, it would be after she had successfully married Tom. The location would be during a grand celebration.

After listening to her, Jeremy said nothing but nodded. The fondness he had for Xyla grew deeper.

Her intelligence far exceeded everyone in the Quest family.

“Dad, are you able to understand my actions?” Xyla asked carefully.

“I can. Xyla, you’ve already exhausted your benevolence.” Jeremy nodded before beckoning her, softening his tone. “Come here.”

Xyla hastened over, took a chair, and sat down beside Jeremy, hugging him tightly. “Dad, I’m sorry. I’ve embarrassed you in front of so many people today, but I didn’t have any other choice.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

It was the truth.

In her battle with Emily, May, and Tom, her father was innocent but always ended up getting involved.

“Why should you be sorry? Silly child, you’ve done the right thing. Today, you were only counterattacking to protect yourself.” Jeremy let out a long sigh as he gently caressed Xyla’s hair affectionately.
