Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 828

"Oh, right. Ever since Tom Sullivan married Emily Quest, he's been so unlucky. Bad things keep happening to him. He's way past his prime now too..."

"Not long ago, I saw the wife of Sullivan Group's president. She never once batted an eyelid when buying purses that cost several million dollars in the past. But now, she's only browsing but not buying these purses."

"It must be because of her family's deteriorating financial status... Haha...”

The group of ladies continued their discussion.

Bailey Ronson was holding Tom Sullivan by his arm when she walked nearby these women, and she happened to overhear their conversation.

Both the expressions of the mother and son instantly turned cold...

The things these people said made them feel extremely humiliated, especially Tom, who now wished he could kick Emily to the curb.

When he looked up, he saw Xyla Quest crouching down like a child, with her hands placed on her face. She was looking at the sculpture of a rooster...

Her long hair dangled past her neck. Although she didn't have any makeup on, her lips looked beautiful and her skin fair. Her eyes seemed bright and her teeth shiny.

The long, white chiffon dress she wore made her appear almost like a fairy.

Xyla seemed to be surrounded by light. Wherever she went, the light would follow her.

Even if she wasn't doing anything, she could still easily take his breath away...

After the two of them broke up, Xyla's life seemed to be getting better and better. With her hard work, she had managed to carve her path to success. In fact, she seemed to have become even more elegant and charismatic.

The feeling of remorse crept upon Tom once again. If he could, he would go back in time to kill himself for mistreating Xyla as he did.

If only he had been more patient, he would have been able to wait until Xyla went through her perfect transformation. He wouldn't have ended up being stuck with the idiot he was with now, Emily Quest. More importantly, that idiot wouldn't stick to him like glue and continue to make his life worse...

Xyla saw Tom from the corner of her eyes.

Slowly, she turned to look at him. Although their eyes met, they lasted for only a second. Xyla looked away coldly right after that.

She didn't feel a single thing.

However, Tom's heart was beating wildly out of control...

When Bailey saw Xyla nearby, she gritted her teeth hatefully. However, she didn't dare to do anything publicly to Xyla.

Their family had already been poorly tortured enough by Stanley Batton last time.

Meanwhile, Bailey nearly ended up getting divorced at a mature age because of Stanley. If it weren't for her crying and threatening to commit suicide to get Tony Sullivan's sympathy, as well as getting help from her two sons to convince Tony not to divorce her, she would have been kicked out of the Sullivan family long ago.

Although Tony wasn't bringing up divorce anymore, the couple's relationship was going through a very cold phase. Bailey couldn't afford to make another mistake...

If she did, she would be kicked out of the family for good.

"Control yourself! Why are you looking at her?" Bailey immediately said in a cold tone when she saw the look in Tom's eyes.

After that, Bailey directly turned around and looked at a sculpture of a monkey behind her.

Tom looked deeply at Xyla once more before walking over to Bailey.

Right then, Emily Quest walked through the door.

Stories between Xyla and Emily had always been an entertaining topic among the affluent circle of people.

When Emily appeared in the same place as Xyla, everyone immediately turned to look at her and Xyla.

At this moment, Xyla still wasn't aware that Emily was here. She was looking at an art sculpture with Ron Batton.

However, Emily immediately noticed Xyla when she entered the place.

Xyla's smile and the light around her made Emily feel disgusted...

After looking at Xyla coldly, Emily acted very depressedly as she walked over to Tom and Bailey...

"Why are you here?" Tom asked coldly when he saw that Emily was here.
