“Who do you think you are? If my predictions are correct, after this incident today, Father will lose all
confidence in you. Congratulations!” Emily Quest continued to mock, feeling better the more she spoke.
Emily felt extremely accomplished for mocking a failure.
After holding herself back the entire day, Xyla’s patience was at its limit. She clenched her fists.
However, she forced back her emotions once more because there was no longer a need for her to take
physical action.
“Sit in the living room and wait for me,” said Xyla.
“What for?”
“I have an announcement to make,” said Xyla calmly. She glanced at Emily’s face nonchalantly before
she headed upstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What announcement? An announcement that you’re backing out of Imperial Prime?” Emily was getting
cheekier as she spoke.
“Yeah.” Having said that, Xyla went upstairs.
Since all the units of Imperial Prime had been sold, wasn’t it time for her to back out?
As she watched Emily’s delighted expression, Xyla felt even more amused.
After hearing that, Emily was ecstatic. As expected, Xyla had failed! She was probably asking Father to
come downstairs so she could explain and admit that she was incompetent!
“Tragic…!” Emily smiled as she shook her head before walking over to the sofa with glee and sitting
down.
About ten minutes later, Xyla was supporting Jeremy by the arm as they made their way downstairs.
Jeremy’s expression was cold as ice while beside him, Xyla remained expressionless. It was hard to
guess what she was thinking at this moment.
It was a stark contrast to what her father was showing. After seeing Jeremy’s expression, Emily further
affirmed her thoughts. It must be that!
Soon, Jeremy sat down on the single sofa while Xyla sat next to Emily.
“Father, looking at your expression, I’m sure Xyla has told you about wanting to back out, right?”
“Xyla, I’m not trying to lecture you, but you don’t even have any capabilities, so why did you shoulder
everything on your own?”
“To think Father put so much faith in you and left it in your hands without hesitation. In the end, is this
how you repay him?” Emily continued flawlessly in an attempt to fuel the fire and completely provoke
Jeremy.
Jeremy’s expression darkened as he instantly looked at Emily murderously.

“The incompetent person now is Xyla, not me.” Having said that, Emily glared at Xyla.
However, Xyla ignored her and quietly picked up an unopened fruit juice bottle from the coffee table.
She poured herself a glass before leisurely drinking it.
“Why are you still in the mood to drink anything at a time like this? Because of your horoscope
incompatibility, Imperial Prime is in danger now.”
“Our entire Quest family might even be dragged down by it! Can you still bring yourself to drink
anything in this situation? How did Father raise such a heartless daughter like you?” Emily exclaimed in
dissatisfaction. The next instant, a cellphone fell onto Emily’s lap. Having something thrown at her so
suddenly surprised Emily.
She held up the phone and met Jeremy’s hostile eyes with a confused expression. “Father, what are
you doing?”
