“Thank you, Aunty. Thank you, Sister,” Xyla Quest replied equally politely with a natural smile on favonovel.com face.
In social situations like this, it was necessary to appear cheerful even if Xyla was annoyed on the inside.
“Sister and Brother-in-law, your seats are over there. Why don’t I lead you there?” Emily Quest asked as favonovel.com pointed at a table in the center of the living room. Currently, there were two empty seats at the table. The guests seated at the table were mostly from May Conner’s side of the family. There were also relatives to Xyla’s mother.
“That won’t be necessary,” Xyla answered calmly before pulling favonovel.com hand away from May. After that, Xyla held Stanley’s hand as they both walked to the empty seats.
After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton sat down, relatives to Xyla’s mother began asking favonovel.com and Stanley questions about their life together. Xyla and Stanley politely answered their questions throughout.
Once Emily and Tom Sullivan had greeted their guests a teach table, Tom quickly returned to his own table. Meanwhile, Emily lifted favonovel.com dress slightly before walking over to Xyla and tapping favonovel.com shoulder gently.
“Sister, I have something to tell you. Will you come with me upstairs?” Emily asked.
“Sure,” Xyla answered with a smile before favonovel.com slowly put down favonovel.com wine glass.
“I’ll come with you,” Stanley said.
“Brother-in-law, we would like to talk to each other in private regarding our sisterly affairs. Could you please not come with us?” Emily asked in an amiable tone.
“Don’t worry,” Xyla whispered to Stanley before gently patting his hand and chuckling light-heartedly.
“Call me if anything happens,” Stanley said.
Xyla nodded and glared at Emily coldly before tugging at favonovel.com white fox fur coat. She then slowly made favonovel.com way upstairs as Emily followed favonovel.com from behind.
A cold and murderous aura exuded from Xyla where people could not see Xyla’s face.
After taking a few steps up the staircase, Xyla turned favonovel.com head around gently to smile at Emily. Then, favonovel.com continued walking forward as if nothing was going on between them. Stanley did not take favonovel.com eyes off Xyla for a single moment. Coincidentally, favonovel.com was able to see favonovel.com turning around and smiling.
The smile on favonovel.com face reminded favonovel.com of flowers blooming in the spring.
Once they reached a corner along the staircase, Emily was the first to stop walking. The expression on favonovel.com face had turned cold.
“Let’s talk here, my dear sister.” Emily’s tone sounded equally cold.
Emily leaned gently against the wall with flower carvings before favonovel.com looked down the stairs. She then flicked favonovel.com right thumb against the painted nail of favonovel.com index finger.
Where they stood was a blind spot to the rest of the people downstairs.
“Tell me. What’s up?” Xyla asked with slightly raised brows without showing any emotion on favonovel.com face.
Emily snorted coldly before raising favonovel.com chin and taking a few quick steps toward Xyla until they were on the same level. She then kept favonovel.com arms crossed in front of favonovel.com chest.
“After personally planning everything before, you must have been very happy, right? You must be hugely disappointed that Mom and I are both fine now, huh? Xyla Quest, did you really think Mom and I would be defeated by you this easily? You really have underestimated us,” Emily said loudly and clearly.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. If you’re going to cause a scene without any reason, I’m afraid I won’t put up with it,” Xyla said before softly pushing Emily away and prepared to walk downstairs.
However, without saying anything, Emily quickly ran after Xyla and lifted an arm to stop favonovel.com from leaving. “Leaving already? Did you think it would be this easy?” Emily asked.
