Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 113

Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt.

Her phone vibrated. Xyla casually glanced at the screen to see that Five Batton had sent her a WeChat message.

She immediately opened it.

“I might not be able to reach on time. I’ll be late for an hour.”

There wouldn’t be an issue if he was only late for an hour. The ceremony would have ended by then and he would be just in time for lunch. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

As long as he showed up, it won’t be a problem. Only, the enigmatic Emily would definitely try to cause a scene, but no worries, Xyla could handle it.

“What happened?” Xyla replied. In her mind, he was a punctual person, so something huge must have happened.

“Emergency.”

“Alright then.” Emily replied before putting down her phone and entering the bathroom.

He did not tell her what the emergency was and was sensible enough not to ask.

After showering, Xyla noticed that there was still time, so she lay in bed with a mask on before sitting down at the dressing table to put on her makeup.

Her gaze inadvertently fell onto the clock beside her. It was now 11.20 am, her lips curled into an endearing smile.

It must be chaotic over there right now.

Over at the detention center’s entrance, the scene inside a recreational vehicle bearing the Sullivan’s family logo was completely chaotic.

Emily and May sat as the styling team the Sullivan family had hired for them did their hair and makeup.

It was a team of six people with everyone hurrying about. The bride herself was just as anxious…

The large recreational vehicle was a complete mess.

Emily was in a foul mood because her important day had turned out this way. Her expression was dark the entire journey.

If she had been released yesterday, she could have taken a relaxing bath and done a full-body spa.

But now, her shower was simply taken at the prison’s toilet, and forget the full body spa, she didn’t even have time for a face mask.

As she stared at her dry and flaky skin in the mirror, Emily felt herself mentally collapsing!

“This is all Tom’s fault. If he had come to get you earlier yesterday, they would’ve found out that you couldn’t be released and perhaps would have had enough time to come up with other solutions.” At the mention of Tom, May was annoyed.

At the thought of the Sullivan family, she got even more annoyed. However, since the stylist team belonged to the Sullivan family, May did not continue her rant.

Emily was furious now, so she did not try to put in a good word for Tom. Her hands were clenched into fists.

Due to time constrictions, Emily’s makeup was not properly done. She only had on a simple bridal makeup look with her hair up in a bun and a tiara as an accessory.

After that, she changed into her wedding dress.

She was already in a foul mood but the instant she put on the dress, Emily’s mood got even worse!

Her wedding dress was a slim fit tube dress design with a fishtail. It had been tailor-made and had looked amazingly sensual on her. However, during this time when she did not have anything proper to eat inside the detention center, Emily had lost so much weight that the dress was quite loose!

As she stared at her flaky skin in the full-length mirror, then at the ill-fitting wedding dress that looked like it was rented instead, she was genuinely going crazy!

“Ah!!! What is this?! Those who don’t know might assume that I’ve rented this last minute from a bridal shop! It doesn’t fit at all, and it’s so degrading!”

She grabbed her chest in fury.

She had hoped to stun the entire crowd today with this amazing wedding dress! Now, everything was over!
