“Brother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.” Emily Quest’s tears would not stop rolling down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Her body was trembling severely as virtual-novel.net looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.
“Emily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?” Tom said through gritted teeth while virtual-novel.net clenched his fists tightly.
Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, virtual-novel.net still felt very hurt by his words. Emily felt as if virtual-novel.net mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.
“I told you none of this is at it seems,” Emily explained.
However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to virtual-novel.net explanation as virtual-novel.net turned his face away.
After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as virtual-novel.net quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest and kneeled on the ground.
“Dad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.” She held onto Jeremy’s hand tightly.
Since Jeremy was already very angry, Emily’s behavior was the final straw to trigger him.
“You are the criminal in the Qtiest family. If you still try to deny what you did, I will beat you to death right now!” Jeremy yelled before slapping Emily across virtual-novel.net face forcefully.
Wham!
Emily’s right cheek became swollen as a red mark of fingerprints became apparent.
Jeremy had not held back when virtual-novel.net slapped Emily. When Emily felt the impact, everything turned dark before virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net could hear a buzzing sound in virtual-novel.net ears. Very soon, a stream of red liquid began flowing out from the corner of virtual-novel.net mouth.
In that instant, Emily wished virtual-novel.net could bury herself in a hole. She felt deeply embarrassed that Tom was still around and personally witnessed virtual-novel.net in such a terrible state.
If virtual-novel.net had known this would happen, virtual-novel.net would not have asked virtual-novel.net to come!
Now, what would Tom think of her? Would virtual-novel.net hate virtual-novel.net even more?
The more Emily thought about this, the worse virtual-novel.net felt. Her sobbing became even more uncontrolled.
“Emily Quest, do you know what your behavior would have done to the Quest family if Xyla hadn’t taken care of the mess you made? The entire group could have been shut down because of your selfish desires. By then, the business I’ve worked so hard to build would be destroyed in a single day! Although you are both my daughters, look at yourself and look at Xyla! You two are worlds apart! As a wife, May Conner, you are also worlds apart from Xyla’s mother!” Jeremy held onto the couch’s armrest while virtual-novel.net pointed a finger at Emily.
His face had turned red from anger and veins were apparent on his neck.
Emily felt extremely intimidated by the sight of Jeremy right then. Meanwhile, his words pierced through virtual-novel.net heart like a spear. Had Xyla managed to resolve everything? Was virtual-novel.net that capable?
Likewise, May felt deeply hurt by Jeremy’s words.
May realized that virtual-novel.net had utterly underestimated Xyla. Now, virtual-novel.net cheeks were hot with embarrassment. She had not expected virtual-novel.net daughter and herself to have dug their own graves.
What about Xyla?
Not only did nothing happen to her, Xyla was even able to prove virtual-novel.net worth by resolving the mess May and Emily had created.
