Soon, Emily Quest opened virtual-novel.net eyes and glared at the reflection of Xyla Quest on the window panel cold-heartedly. She clenched virtual-novel.net fist so tightly that virtual-novel.net knuckles were turning white.
May Conner’s face was gloomy for a few seconds when virtual-novel.net heard about the subject of their conversation. However, virtual-novel.net returned to normal shortly without a trace.
“Congratulations on becoming the heir of the Quest family, Xyla.” May forced a smile and looked at Xyla.
Xyla could not help but exclaimed internally when virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net face. It was such a pity that this woman did not pursue acting. Despite how disgusted virtual-novel.net felt about her, virtual-novel.net still smiled at May, trying not to lose virtual-novel.net courtesy and grace. “Thank you, Aunty.”
In fact, virtual-novel.net had to thank May and Emily for helping virtual-novel.net to become the heir of the Quest family in a blink of an eye. She knew very well that the reason virtual-novel.net father had appointed virtual-novel.net as the heir right now was to appease her, apart from being impressed by virtual-novel.net own abilities. That was the most important factor.
If May Conner and Emily Quest did not try to look for trouble, Emily would not go to the detention center and suffer from depression, and the will would not have been settled so quickly.
“Thank you, Aunty.” Xyla continued smiling. Her smile got broader, virtual-novel.net voice as soft as ever, even every single strand of hair on virtual-novel.net head was tinged with tenderness, too.
“Xyla, you’ll have to work harder from now on, because the burden on your should er is getting heavier.” May added.
Although May was beaming on virtual-novel.net outside, virtual-novel.net was itching to swallow Xyla alive deep down in virtual-novel.net heart. She could not resign to Jeremy’s decision no matter how virtual-novel.net thought about it.
What had virtual-novel.net gotten out of virtual-novel.net plans with Emily? Nothing at all.
They even quit the battle for the property of Quest before it ended.
Why did Jeremy set the will down so quickly? It was all because virtual-novel.net felt sorry for Xyla and virtual-novel.net was guilty about getting Emily out of the detention center.
All the plans they had against Xyla failed to defeat virtual-novel.net like a knife. On the contrary, they had become a stepping stone on virtual-novel.net way to success.
What do people mean by ‘shoot yourself in the foot’? Both of them were the best example.
However, May would not give up just like that, absolutely not!
“Don’t worry, I will.” Xyla replied.
A week later, Jeremy received an approval letter of Emily’s medical parole in his ward. He had fully recovered on that day. Emily’s condition had been stabilized too. Therefore, both of them were discharged together and they returned to their home.
As soon as they reached their home, Emily hung virtual-novel.net head and went upstairs with a gloomy face. May followed after virtual-novel.net hastily and ran upstairs. Emily snorted coldly right after they entered the room. The melancholic look on virtual-novel.net face had completely disappeared and was replaced by a smug smirk.
May locked the door swiftly. She then pulled Emily to the bed and sat down together. Emily laid down on the bed comfortably.
