Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

May Conner grabbed the phone in time. She immediately saw that Emily Quest had made it as one of the most popular topics on the internet yet again. Currently, Emily was in the third spot, with the headlines reading ‘#Emily Quest hires goons to attack

Xyla Quest but fails and ends up being arrested#’.

After that, May Conner tapped into the link and noticed that the news was all shared by the same marketing account. It was all about Emily Quest being arrested by police officers late at night. Since the photos were taken from a direct angle, Emily’s face and the handcuffs around her wrists were clearly visible.

May had already hired a lawyer and sent him to the police station. At first, she intended to bring Emily home before Jeremy Quest noticed. However, Instagram was much faster than her.

May tossed the phone at Xyla. “What is going on?”

Xyla looked down at the contents of the phone. There were all sorts of gossip about Emily.

“Oh god, when will Emily Quest die? Why did the Sullivan family ever accept a daughter-in-law like her?”

“If I were Jeremy Quest, I would break her legs right away.”

“I pity Xyla Quest for having such an inhuman sister. I hope Emily Quest gets a lifetime jail sentence. Thank you.”

Although Xyla was secretly satisfied, she looked at May calmly. “What do you mean?”

“I’m sure you are the one who bought your way to make Emily one of the most popular topics on the internet. You intentionally did it so that your dad and everyone else would see it, and so that your dad and the Sullivan family would hate her. It would make taking over the Quest family’s inheritance much easier, and also allow you to snatch Tom Sullivan away. Isn’t that so?” May asked coldly without holding anything back.

“Shut up! B*tch! Do you think Xyla is as evil as you lot?” Jeremy yelled coldly before he turned to look gently at Xyla. “Xyla, are you alright?”

When he saw the bloodstain on Xyla’s right arm, he nervously reached for her wrist. “What happened? Did those people hurt you?”

Xyla shook her head. “No, those people didn’t get their way with me. Someone at the bar rescued me just in time.”

When he noticed the red mark on Xyla’s face, Jeremy’s face darkened instantly. “Did Aunty hit you?”

The red mark looked new. They had definitely been left there very recently.

“No… I didn’t hit her,” May explained frantically.

“No? Did the red mark my daughter’s face fall from the sky?” Jeremy asked coldly.

May was suddenly speechless.
