Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Chapter 83

“Brother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.” Emily

Quest’s tears would not stop rolling down her cheeks.

Her body was trembling severely as she looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.

“Emily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?” Tom

said through gritted teeth while he clenched his fists tightly.

Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, she still felt very hurt by his words. Emily

felt as if her mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.

“I told you none of this is at it seems,” Emily explained.

However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to her explanation as he turned his face away.

After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as she quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest

and kneeled on the ground.

“Dad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.” She held onto Jeremy’s hand tightly.

Since Jeremy was already very angry, Emily’s behavior was the final straw to trigger him.

“You are the criminal in the Qtiest family. If you still try to deny what you did, I will beat you to death

right now!” Jeremy yelled before slapping Emily across her face forcefully.

Wham!

Emily’s right cheek became swollen as a red mark of fingerprints became apparent.

Jeremy had not held back when he slapped Emily. When Emily felt the impact, everything turned dark

before her while she could hear a buzzing sound in her ears. Very soon, a stream of red liquid began

flowing out from the corner of her mouth.

In that instant, Emily wished she could bury herself in a hole. She felt deeply embarrassed that Tom

was still around and personally witnessed her in such a terrible state.

If she had known this would happen, she would not have asked him to come!

Now, what would Tom think of her? Would he hate her even more?

The more Emily thought about this, the worse she felt. Her sobbing became even more uncontrolled.

“Emily Quest, do you know what your behavior would have done to the Quest family if Xyla hadn’t

taken care of the mess you made? The entire group could have been shut down because of your

selfish desires. By then, the business I’ve worked so hard to build would be destroyed in a single day!

Although you are both my daughters, look at yourself and look at Xyla! You two are worlds apart! As a

wife, May Conner, you are also worlds apart from Xyla’s mother!” Jeremy held onto the couch’s armrest

while he pointed a finger at Emily.

His face had turned red from anger and veins were apparent on his neck.

Emily felt extremely intimidated by the sight of Jeremy right then. Meanwhile, his words pierced through

her heart like a spear. Had Xyla managed to resolve everything? Was she that capable?

Likewise, May felt deeply hurt by Jeremy’s words.

May realized that she had utterly underestimated Xyla. Now, her cheeks were hot with embarrassment.

She had not expected her daughter and herself to have dug their own graves.

What about Xyla?

Not only did nothing happen to her, Xyla was even able to prove her worth by resolving the mess May

and Emily had created.
