“Who do you think you are? If my predictions are correct, after this incident today, Father will lose all confidence in you. Congratulations!” Emily Quest continued to mock, feeling better the more virtual-novel.net spoke. Emily felt extremely accomplished for mocking a failure.
After holding herself back the entire day, Xyla’s patience was at its limit. She clenched virtual-novel.net fists. However, virtual-novel.net forced back virtual-novel.net emotions once more because there was no longer a need for virtual-novel.net to take physical action.
“Sit in the living room and wait for me,” said Xyla.
“What for?”
“I have an announcement to make,” said Xyla calmly. She glanced at Emily’s face nonchalantly before virtual-novel.net headed upstairs.
“What announcement? An announcement that you’re backing out of Imperial Prime?” Emily was getting cheekier as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Yeah.” Having said that, Xyla went upstairs.
Since all the units of Imperial Prime had been sold, wasn’t it time for virtual-novel.net to back out?
As virtual-novel.net watched Emily’s delighted expression, Xyla felt even more amused.
After hearing that, Emily was ecstatic. As expected, Xyla had failed! She was probably asking Father to come downstairs so virtual-novel.net could explain and admit that virtual-novel.net was incompetent!
“Tragic…!” Emily smiled as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head before walking over to the sofa with glee and sitting down.
About ten minutes later, Xyla was supporting Jeremy by the arm as they made their way downstairs. Jeremy’s expression was cold as ice while beside him, Xyla remained expressionless. It was hard to guess what virtual-novel.net was thinking at this moment.
It was a stark contrast to what virtual-novel.net father was showing. After seeing Jeremy’s expression, Emily further affirmed virtual-novel.net thoughts. It must be that!
Soon, Jeremy sat down on the single sofa while Xyla sat next to Emily.
“Father, looking at your expression, I’m sure Xyla has told you about wanting to back out, right?”
“Xyla, I’m not trying to lecture you, but you don’t even have any capabilities, so why did you shoulder everything on your own?”
“To think Father put so much faith in you and left it in your hands without hesitation. In the end, is this how you repay him?” Emily continued flawlessly in an attempt to fuel the fire and completely provoke Jeremy.
Jeremy’s expression darkened as virtual-novel.net instantly looked at Emily murderously.
“Father, why are you looking at me? Have I said something wrong?”
“The incompetent person now is Xyla, not me.” Having said that, Emily glared at Xyla.
However, Xyla ignored virtual-novel.net and quietly picked up an unopened fruit juice bottle from the coffee table. She poured herself a glass before leisurely drinking it.
“Why are you still in the mood to drink anything at a time like this? Because of your horoscope incompatibility, Imperial Prime is in danger now.”
“Our entire Quest family might even be dragged down by it! Can you still bring yourself to drink anything in this situation? How did Father raise such a heartless daughter like you?” Emily exclaimed in dissatisfaction. The next instant, a cellphone fell onto Emily’s lap. Having something thrown at virtual-novel.net so suddenly surprised Emily.
She held up the phone and met Jeremy’s hostile eyes with a confused expression. “Father, what are you doing?”
