Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Soon, Emily Quest opened her eyes and glared at the reflection of Xyla Quest on the window panel cold-heartedly. She clenched
her fist so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.
May Conner’s face was gloomy for a few seconds when she heard about the subject of their conversation. However, she
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 she looked at her face. It was such a pity that this woman did not pursue
acting. Despite how disgusted she felt about her, she still smiled at May, trying not to lose her courtesy and grace. “Thank you,
Aunty.”
In fact, she had to thank May and Emily for helping her to become the heir of the Quest family in a blink of an eye. She knew
very well that the reason her father had appointed her as the heir right now was to appease her, apart from being impressed by
her 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, her voice as soft as ever, even every single strand of hair on
her 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 her outside, she was itching to swallow Xyla alive deep down in her heart. She could not resign
to Jeremy’s decision no matter how she thought about it.
What had she gotten out of her 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 he felt sorry for Xyla and he was guilty about getting Emily out of
the detention center.
All the plans they had against Xyla failed to defeat her like a knife. On the contrary, they had become a stepping stone on her
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 her head and went upstairs with a gloomy face. May followed after her hastily
and ran upstairs. Emily snorted coldly right after they entered the room. The melancholic look on her 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.
