Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 27

Closely after that, the three other members of the Sullivan family got into the car.

The black Benz-S600 sped away, leaving a trail of thick exhaust behind it.

Seeing this, May Conner let out a long sigh as she smiled satisfactorily.

On the other hand, Xyla Quest glanced at Stanley Batton without saying anything.

Since Xyla had already said that her father could do whatever he wanted, she had no choice but to wait patiently for him to make up his mind.

Jeremy Quest sighed with a tired frown on his face as he walked over to Xyla and patted her gently on her shoulder. “I’m sorry, Xyla. Since she is pregnant, there’s no way I could punish her. Why don’t we forgive her this time?”

Xyla nodded. However, she felt that Emily was lying. If what she said was true, why did she not mention it when the Sullivan family first came to call the wedding off?

Despite her suspicions, Xyla kept her usual calm expression on her face.

“To make it up to you, I will transfer Emily’s 5% shares to you right away,” Jeremy said.

May’s jaw nearly dropped. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Darling, isn’t that unfair?”

“As a mother who has done wrong, how dare you question me about fairness?” Jeremy sneered without holding back.

Since Jeremy could not vent his anger at Emily, he could only do so elsewhere. Coincidentally, May was there. How could he resist snapping at her?

Before May could speak, Xyla immediately smiled at Jeremy. “Thank you, Dad,” she said softly.

Instead of beating Emily up and locking her in the underground, this was a better way of dealing with her.

“Oh, right, Xyla. About the new property development project, you can take over from tomorrow on.

“I’ve decided to launch it next Tuesday at eight o’clock in the morning as that’s a lucky time. You have exactly one week to prepare the marketing plan,” Jeremy said.

Xyla knew that Jeremy was only informing her about this one week before just so that he could test her capabilities. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Without even hesitating, Xyla answered confidently. “Alright, got it.”

Although there was only a week for her to prepare, it was more than enough for Xyla.

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to me,” Jeremy added.

“Okay, sure…”

May could not resist rolling her eyes at Xyla.

Initially, the marketing manager’s role in the new property development project was supposed to go to her daughter, Emily. However, it now went to the little b*tch instead.

May hoped that the b*tch would fail miserably. Otherwise, Emily might end up not getting anything from the Summer family’s inheritance.

As she thought of this, May clenched her fists tightly on her sides.

However, the thought suddenly occurred to her that Xyla did not have any experience in management. How could she possibly achieve anything by taking over a new property development project at such short notice?

“Alright, I’m going inside.” Jeremy turned to look at Stanley.

After the two nodded politely at each other, Jeremy turned around and walked into the house.

However, May did not follow him immediately. Instead, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and approached Xyla arrogantly. “If you don’t have what it takes, don’t bite more than you can chew.

“Although you graduated with an Economics and Management degree from a well-known university, you don’t have any management experience.

“How could you possibly do well when you have to take over a brand-new property development project in such a short span of time?”
