Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 39

Xyla Quest stopped thinking about it as she focused her attention on work once more after putting her phone down.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Group CEO’s office, Stanley Batton leaned lazily against his revolving chair as he looked at Xyla’s social media page.

With a look of focus on his face, he would occasionally smile without realizing it.

He was wearing only a white shirt and a necktie tucked neatly under his collar after taking his coat off. He seemed incomparably noble.

Xyla’s social media page was rather interesting. Usually, she would share little things about her day, where she went, what she ate, and what mood she was in. In fact, she would even include a picture for each post.

The words she used in the texts were usually heartwarming and uplifting.

However, her posts only dated back to a month ago. After going through the posts from the current month, he came to an end.

Therefore, he exited from her social media page. Afterward, he glanced briefly at Xyla’s messages, which prompted him to give her his bank account number, before putting his phone down nearby.

It seemed he had no intention of giving her his bank account number.

In the blink of an eye, it was now one day before Imperial Prime was launched.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Xyla was finally done with planning for the launch. Exhausted, she dragged herself home. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

As soon as Xyla walked through the front door, she saw Emily Quest cheerfully twirling about in a white wedding dress in the living room.

Meanwhile, May Conner showed her thumbs to Emily. “My daughter really is beautiful…”

Emily was wearing a slim-fit, tube-top inspired dress with a mermaid-style finish at the end. It perfectly accentuated her large breasts and perked buttocks while making her appear tall and sexy. Coupled with her thick make-up, Emily looked somewhat like a sl*t.

When Emily saw Xyla walking through the door, she walked up arrogantly to Xyla. “Why are you home this late? Is it because you are very nervous about the launch of the new property development project?” Emily asked with her chin lifted

“Rightfully so. After all, if you don’t perform well, Dad will have a bad impression of you.

“To be honest, it’s not really the best of times for the property market. It’s impossible to create a sales miracle.

“What do you think will happen if you screw up this project?”

Emily was speaking as if Xyla had already lost.

It made Xyla furious on the inside.

However, Xyla was too tired to even talk to Emily. She chose to walk around Emily to get upstairs.

However, Emily would not have any of it.

Being ignored made Emily even angrier. As such, Emily immediately turned around to stand in Xyla’s way. “Until now, you have only announced that there would be a special promotion for the property, and nothing else has been announced. I bet not many people would show up. Even if you managed to get Josh Batton as the ambassador, it would still not be effective.

“After all, with eight million dollars, the person you hired would only be willing to shoot a video as part of advertising for the property development project.

“It’s impossible to expect the ambassador to show up during the launch. In order to make Dad happy, you signed Josh Batton with eight million dollars. Do you regret it now?

“Don’t you wish you offered Josh Batton a little more money? He might have at least agreed to show up to the launch to help with promoting.”

The things Emily said sounded increasingly terrible. Now, Emily was certain that Josh Batton would not go to the launch. If he was going, it would have been announced way earlier.

“What if Josh Batton ends up going? Wouldn’t you be deeply embarrassed?” Xyla could not resist insulting Emily.

“Haha… the sun is already up. Why are you still speaking as if you are in a dream?” Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla.
