Xyla went upstairs without giving Emily so much as a sideways glance.
This feeling of being ignored annoyed Emily a lot. She abruptly stood up and called loudly after Xyla, “No matter how calm you try to act, you’re still panicking on the inside!”
She continued to mock Xyla, saying, “For the sake of gaining merit, you’re willing to take on everything by yourself, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid of not being able to handle this mess and finally end up destroying yourself in the process? What an idiot! Is there really something wrong with your horoscope? Are you born with a constitution that brings calamities? Why did something like this happen the moment you took over the project?”
Emily’s words were like needles, prickling at Xyla’s ears. However, Xyla didn’t want to waste time with her. She would rather utilize her energy to solve the issue that was now bothering her.
Just like that, Emily stood where she was as Xyla’s silhouette slowly disappeared from her sight. Xyla’s indifference and disregard for her made Emily furious!
She stomped her foot hard while clenching her fists and saying through gritted teeth, “Xyla Quest, you b*tch! You’ll be going down soon!”
“Alright, Emily, come and sit.” May gently pulled Emily to her side and held her hand firmly. “You should stop being angry and be happy instead.”
In an instant, Emily’s fury turned into delight. A cheeky grin appeared on her lips as she looked at May and said, “That’s true. I should be happy. After all, Xyla might soon be ruined because of her decision today.”
“Not just that, the sold units of Imperial Prime might also be returned. Even if the crisis is resolved, a building that was once involved in such a scandal won’t sell well. The property will be ruined by Xyla. With both of these failures put together, it’s enough to make Dad lose all confidence in her. When that time comes, I’ll just have to put in a little bit of effort, and everything in the Quest family will be mine,” said Emily confidently, plotting and scheming behind her vicious gaze.
