Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 408

After finishing her sentence, Xyla Quest headed directly upstairs.

Buzz, buzz, buzz... Catherine Batton's call came in again and distracted Stanley Batton right then.

"What is it now?" Stanley said after picking up.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to play a game with me?"

"No," Stanley answered right away.

After that, he ended the call and walked out the door.

Meanwhile, in the Quest family's villa, Emily Quest was playing with her phone in bed after calming herself down from feeling angry earlier.

Beep, beep, beep... Suddenly, she received a call from Tom Sullivan.

When she saw who was calling, her hand trembled slightly.

These days, Tom had been calling her very frequently, and he always talked about getting a divorce.

Despite rejecting him each time, Tom still called her back repeatedly. It seemed he was very determined about it.

As usual, Emily immediately cancelled the call.

She absolutely refused to get a divorce with Tom. Now, she had already lost too much. There's no way she could allow herself to lose Tom too.

Although Tom no longer had the same status as he did before, Emily believed that he would regain the glory of his former days sometime in the future.

Emily wouldn't easily let go of such a valuable husband so that other women could snatch him. Once Tom returned to the peak of his glory, Emily would be the one standing next to him.

Right then, Tom sent her a Wechat message. "Come out and have a chat... I'm in front of your house. Don't worry, it's not about getting a divorce."

Emily immediately felt overjoyed.

What could it be if it wasn't about getting a divorce?

Could he be here to patch things up with her? Did he remember the good times they had during the time they were apart? Did he realize he still loved her?

Emily was ecstatic in that instant.

She instantly let out a long sigh before quickly getting up and fixing her hair. After that, she tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart while pretending to appear depressed. With a frown on her face, she pu on her shoes and walked down the stairs.

Downstairs, May Conner and Jeremy Quest were seated while they drank tea.

When Emily saw them, she immediately pretended to look even more depressed. With her head lowered, and her body seemingly drained of energy, she looked like a rose that would soon wilt away. Seeing his daughter this way made Jeremy's heart wrenched in pain.

"Emily, why are you down here?" Jeremy asked.

Emily slowly looked up at Jeremy with a blank expression. "I want to take a walk outside."

"I'll come with you..." Jeremy said.

"I want to be by myself for a while," Emily said and shook her head.

After that, she lowered her head again before hastily walking out. She didn't even change her shoes.

Jeremy was prepared to stop Emily but May grabbed him by his hand before he could do so. "Let her go out for a while. She'll be fine..."

"What if she loses control out there again?" Jeremy seemed worried.

"She already ate her medicine at noon. Don't worry. She'll be fine," May said comfortingly.

Only then did Jeremy sit down. However, he was still very concerned.
