Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 85

“Officers, did you hear that? She admitted it. Take her away immediately! There’s no need to investigate! Also, please investigate my wife. She’s part of this!” Jeremy stood up and said to the police officers.

By then, Emily already felt hopeless. She knew this was the end for her.

“Brother Sullivan, why don’t you say something to save me? If I’m taken away, our wedding might be indefinitely postponed! The child would be affected too!” Emily immediately turned to look at Tom Sullivan.

Since Tom was eager for Emily to be taken away, and he never wanted to marry her anyway, he did not mind that she would be sent to prison. After all, the police officers would keep her child safe once she arrived.

Therefore, Tom turned his face away without saying a word.

Undoubtedly, Emily felt even more hurt by his attitude.

May Conner could no longer take this anymore. She pointed a finger at Tom Sullivan. “Tom, how could you be this inhumane? She is bearing your child!” May yelled at Tom angrily.

“That’s because he can tell the difference between right and wrong, unlike you!” Jeremy answered.

Very soon, the police officers placed handcuffs over the wrists of the two women.

Xyla Quest snorted while she sat back down on the couch and enjoyed the show.

These two women were the perfect example of going out for wool and coming home shorn.

“Xyla, you have gone too far. Can’t you speak up for us? I don’t mind if you don’t care about me. However, Emily is your little sister! You two are related by blood! Are you really going to watch a pregnant lady get sent to prison and face those risks?” May Conner said angrily.

“She is willing to put the entire Quest family at risk for the sake of messing with me. What could I possibly say to help her?” Xyla said calmly in a soft voice. Although she did not make any face, she sounded equally confident as May.

“You…” May Conner was at a loss for words.

Soon enough, the women were taken away by the police officers. Regardless of how they struggled and shouted, none of it helped. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Once the door was closed, calmness returned to the Quest family’s house.

Jeremy suddenly felt as if his world had turned dark as he leaned into the couch.

Xyla’s heart went out to him. Hurriedly, she got up and went over to Jeremy before sitting on the armrest. She carefully rubbed his chest.

“Dad, don’t be angry. I’ve sorted everything out anyway. Let’s wait for the official investigative report before we make the announcement tomorrow. Everything will come to pass,” Xyla said.

When Jeremy saw how gentle Xyla seemed, and thought of Emily and her mother, he could not help but sigh.

Why is there such a huge difference between these people? He wondered to himself.

Jeremy felt even more sorry for Xyla. If he had not remarried back then, his kind daughter would not have gone through so much hardship.

“I am terribly sorry, Xyla,” Jeremy said after a long sigh.

He felt both guilty and sad for all the things that happened to Xyla.

“Dad, you have never done anything wrong to me. Please don’t say that,” Xyla said with a gentle voice while she continued rubbing his chest.

“If only I could resist my desires and not look for another wife, and got myself another daughter, you would not have had to go through all this. You were repeatedly bullied by these b*tches,” Jeremy added.

“Dad, you are only human. Humans all have desires. I don’t want you to talk about yourself like that,” Xyla continued to console Jeremy.
