novelxo Chapter 249
The two security guards immediately nodded respectfully at Xyla Quest and stopped what they were doing before stepping
aside.
Xyla walked slowly over to Mary. Her hands were crossed naturally in front of her chest. Although Xyla seemed like a gentle
person, she had a dominating presence.
“Why aren’t you enjoying the cyberbullying at home? Why are you here causing a scene at my company?” she asked.
Since Xyla already disliked Mary, she became even more annoyed when she saw how Mary was still behaving arrogantly. Xyla’s
mood was completely ruined. Apart from Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan, nobody else made her feel as disgusted as Mary.
Mary quickly took a step forward and shoved her hands forcefully against Xyla. “Xyla Quest! Why did you do all this?!”
“I’m just returning the favor. Why else?” replied Xyla, laughing coldly. The people around her immediately felt chills down their
spines.
“Do you know what I’m going through because of you? Even if I hurt you, why did you have to go to such an extent to hurt me?”
asked Mary.
Seeing Mary behave this way reminded Xyla of Emily.
People like her made mistakes in the first place, and did not feel bad for what they did. However, when other people did the
same things to them, they acted as if they were completely innocent victims. The way Mary was questioning Xyla now was
exactly something Emily would do.
It was indeed true that birds of a feather flock together.
Like Emily, Mary had a weird outlook on life. It explained why she and Emily could become such good friends. How could
somebody think it was wrong for others to fight back in the same way that they offended others to begin with?
Xyla truly wondered if Mary and Emily were brainwashed by an evil cult of sorts.
“Also, how did you find out it was me? I clearly made sure I covered my tracks...” said Mary.
“The police will tell you all about it once you arrive at the police station,” said Xyla with a chuckle.
Although she was very angry, she maintained a calm composure and seemed as if nothing could make her visibly upset.
“You... What did you say? Are you sending me to the police station? On what basis?”
“On the basis that you harmed another person.”
Mary stared at Xyla angrily. “Xyla Quest! If you dare..!”
“There’s nothing I don’t dare to do,” said Xyla.
“You... You evil woman, You...” Mary retorted.
Finally, Xyla could not tolerate this any longer. She raised her hand and directly slapped Mary across her face. Losing her
balance, Mary stumbled and fell to the ground. When her tailbone collided against the floor, Mary felt a sharp pain which
hindered her from immediately getting up. In fact, she even lost the energy to speak.
When the two security guards saw what happened, they were in complete shock. Many of the staff in the company also noticed
what was going on. They immediately gathered by the door to watch. Each one of them had a look of surprise on their faces.
At the office, Xyla always behaved like a gentle person. None of them knew she was capable of being this dominant and cool
when she was angry. They were all taken by surprise!
“You’re so annoying. Since you’ve made your way here on your own, the police won’t have to make a trip to your house,” said
Xyla. She turned to look at the two security guards next to her and waved her hand at them. “Take her to the police station.”
The two security guards quickly nodded and lifted Mary off the ground. With one person on each side holding onto her shoulders,
they escorted her directly in the direction of the parking lot. Although Mary struggled to set herself free, it was to no avail.
She turned around and shouted madly at Xyla, “Xyla, you are going to get it! Just you wait. My dad won’t let you off the hook for
this! Don’t forget, our family is much richer than yours! Also, our families still have an ongoing project together. If our family
withdraws the funds, you won’t benefit a single bit! Xyla, don’t be so pleased with yourself. You won’t be happy for long. If my
father makes the decision to pull out, your father will beat you to death!”
