Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 378

What was going on? How did Xyla Quest know the vice president’s wife?

And…

Why was the vice president’s wife treating Xyla so dearly as they were pretty close? Xyla had the vice president’s wife to back her up now, what about her?

Xyla was still lost in bewilderment and consternation. Her gaze on the vice president’s wife was as numb as before.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you remember me, Aunt Rebecca?” Rebecca Robin asked.

Xyla shook her head. “No, of course I remember… I just didn’t expect that you... you’re… the vice president’s wife.”

Rebecca laughed cheerfully. “Let’s not talk about that. My dear, what are those people talking about?”

Before Xyla could even speak a word, the surrounding people began to describe the whole incident to Rebecca, fearing to lag behind the others.

Needless to say, these people had to take Xyla’s side as they noticed that the vice president’s wife was supporting Xyla.

The few noblewomen who went with the flow and scolded Xyla started to tremble and shiver right now.

Mary Sullivan was terrified to the extreme that her heart was pounding out of her chest as she heard the description of the crowd about the incident. Her face was reddened with shame before it gradually turned pale.

Her arrogance had completely vanished without a trace, too.

Originally, she wanted to turn Xyla Quest into a joke in front of everyone.

Nevertheless, little did she know, she had made a monkey out of herself instead of Xyla in the end.

If she knew that she would end up this way, she would never have made a scene between both of them and attracted so many people’s attention.

She felt so regretful that her stomach was in knots.

Mary stood still right there, feeling unsure if she should flee or stay as neither was helpful to her. Her body was extremely heavy as if it was filled with lead.
