Filed to story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
If this was ancient times, Father Xylander’s character may have deemed him a mighty warrior.
He was fierce and hot-headed. And, even when dealing with his own daughter, he never showed mercy. It was only when it came to Turquoise that he was submissive and obedient.
Looking at the odds, Quenlyn was bound to be the loser in this battle.
After all, to Father Xylander, she held no value whatsoever.
Quenlyn’s face turned pale as her hands trembled, “If it wasn’t because I was worried that this woman would cheat you of your entire fortune, I would have left here ages ago.”
“Oh? Are you worried about me? Or are you worried about your inheritance? Quenlyn, let me tell you, I created Xylander Corps with my own bare hands. I can give the company to whomever I want. Even if I donate the entire thing to charity, you can only watch from the sidelines,” Father Xylander said in a heartless manner.
“You are forcing me to drag this woman down to the grave with me,” Quenlyn yelled as she pointed at Turquoise.
“If you want to die, then go ahead and die. Don’t drag my wife down with you,” Father Xylander replied, without even taking a glance at Quenlyn. After he was done talking, he put down the knife and fork in his hands and casually took a sip of his red wine.
The atmosphere became stale. All Quenlyn could do was try her best not to cry. While maintaining her composure, she swallowed her tears back into the depths of her stomach.
Seeing this, Herman suddenly stood up and said to Quenlyn, “Leave with me right now. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I can control myself any longer.”
“Did you think you can get through me?” Father Xylander asked in mockery.
“You, at least, won’t be any better off,” Herman sneered.
Quenlyn remained in her seat, still as ice.
“Quenlyn…”
Quenlyn remained silent for a while. At this time, Turquoise looked over provokingly with a victorious smile.
Quenlyn took a deep breath and rejected Herman’s offer, “This is my home. I won’t be going anywhere.”
“What are you thinking? Come outside and get some fresh air to clear your head!” Herman grabbed onto Quenlyn’s arm and dragged her out of the dining room. At this time, Turquoise’s voice resonated from behind them, “Don’t stay out too late! There is still a huge pile of clothes waiting for you to clean. I can’t trust the maids with it.”
Herman pretended not to hear a thing as he covered Quenlyn’s ears until they reached the car. After they boarded, he placed his hand on Quenlyn’s shoulder and asked, “How long has this been going on?”
“Ever since that woman married my father at 20-years-old,” Quenlyn replied.
“Have you never thought of fighting back?”
“No matter what I do, I will always be wrong. Is there any point?” Quenlyn replied in self-ridicule. “You’ve already done enough for me. Herman, you don’t need to offend my father for my sake. After all, Miller Corps and Xylander Corps still need to work together.”
“Little Monkey, I know you’ve tried a lot of things. But, I’m sure there’s one thing you haven’t tried,” Herman suddenly winked at Quenlyn as he thought of something.
“What do you mean?”
Herman did not say a word. He simply started up his sports car and drove towards the destination he had in mind. As long as his enemy was physically able, he had the ability to go up against them. But, Herman did not like getting involved in arguments and calculations. Even when he was in the entertainment industry for so long, he did not like to use schemes.
But, this particular person was different…
So, Herman directly brought Quenlyn to Hyatt Regency.
Eric was at work, so Emma and a maid were the only ones at home. To prevent her stomach from being revealed, she once again chose to cover it with a cushion as she sat on the sofa.
“Sis, can you please help Quenlyn…”
“Should we first deal with the injuries on your faces?” Emma gestured for Herman to fetch the medicine ch*st. As she helped them apply ointment, she asked, “Speak. What do you want me to do?”
After a bit of time, Herman managed to briefly explain the situation bet**en Quenlyn and Turquoise to Emma. Of course, the injuries on Quenlyn’s body were the best proof.
If they were only dealing with Father Xylander, the situation may have been easy to resolve. But, there was also a Turquoise involved…
“Is Turquoise the female lead of ‘Survive’? The one that lost to me?” Emma suddenly remembered.
“Uh huh,” Herman nodded.
“I don’t want to get involved with other’s family matters…” Emma shook her head. Although they were business partners, she wasn’t very familiar with them.
“Just help us think of an idea…Look at the injuries on Quenlyn’s body!”
“Why don’t you think of something yourself?” Emma asked with a smile.
“I’m not good at scheming. Sis, don’t make things difficult for me. I can help you with other things,” Herman replied helplessly. “If I was capable, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Emma knew that Herman was referring to his past. So, she waved her hand and said, “You…leave. Miss Xylander stay.”
Hearing this, Herman knew Emma had an idea. So, he immediately stood up and left without hesitation.
Afterwards, only Emma and Quenlyn remained in the living room. Emma looked at Quenlyn in detail and said with a slightly serious exp**ssion, “My instincts tell me that you won’t hurt Herman. I could help you, after all, Turquoise still owes me for what she’s done to me.”
“But, Emma…Turquoise has my father backing her. I’ve tried many methods in the past, but I’ve always ended up suffering in the end.”
“That’s because you are too passive,” Emma directly pointed out the issue.
“Emma, please help me. I really want to kick this woman out of where she doesn’t belong.”
Emma thought for a moment before she eventually nodded her head, “I can give it a try.”
So what if Father Xylander was violent? As long as he was human, he definitely had a weakness. Since he had a weakness, then there was a chance of attack.
As for Turquoise…
Emma had not gotten back at Turquoise for what she had done yet!
“Quenlyn, you need to remember, the only reason why you are still living in the Xylander Household is because you are your father’s daughter, not because you want to prevent him from getting tricked and hurt! Since he is using his identity to supp**ss you, then as your father, he would have given you shares to Xylander Corps. You can use these shares to go against him.”
“Don’t be afraid of getting hit. If you face him confidently, he may actually back down.”
“As for Turquoise…There are way too many ways you can drive her mad…”
After hearing a few sentences from Emma, Quenlyn could already see the difference bet**en herself and Emma. This was the difference bet**en a professional and an amateur.
“Also, you need to change your image a little. Toughen up. I’ll tell you what to do and you follow…Let’s give it a try,” Emma looked at Quenlyn and smiled, “I know you’ve helped my brother before.”
Did they think that Father Xylander can’t be defeated? And Turquoise can’t be dealt with?
Impossible!
To suit the status of Xylander Corps, no matter how much Quenlyn disliked it, she had to transform herself into an elegant socialite as per Father Xylander’s orders.
So, after so many years, it had been a long time since Quenlyn had tested out what was suitable for her and what was currently popular amongst women. She had merely become the face of Xylander Corps.
“Since you can’t change the situation with your father and will get hit regardless, then you should dress the way that you like. You don’t need to continue doing what you don’t like,” Emma explained patiently to Quenlyn, like a mentor speaking to her student.
Quenlyn thought about Emma’s words and realized that she was right. But, she also felt a little upset; upset that she pretended to be someone she wasn’t for so many years.
Afterwards, Emma instructed Luke to send over her styling team to Hyatt Regency, “I’ve worked with this team for a long time. You can also call them in future if you need them.”
