“I found nothing yet,” answered a female voice from the other end.
“Continue investigating! I’ve said that I will reward you with 1.5 million dollars, now I’m offering you two million!” After that, virtual-novel.net hung up.
Then, virtual-novel.net called Tom’s number again, but this time, the operator informed virtual-novel.net that the number was invalid. She knew that Tom had blocked virtual-novel.net number. She wanted to immediately return to the Sullivan manor, but knowing that the Sullivan family was currently livid, going back now would do virtual-novel.net no good.
Moreover, without knowing how things would develop and if virtual-novel.net needed to return to prison, the best option was to run away. She would leave the rest to virtual-novel.net mother and try to solve virtual-novel.net own problems for now.
At this thought, virtual-novel.net began speedily packing virtual-novel.net luggage, without any attention to pay to virtual-novel.net dress that was now covered in blood. Even when packing virtual-novel.net luggage, the image of how virtual-novel.net got played by Xyla today kept resurfacing in virtual-novel.net mind. With these thoughts, virtual-novel.net couldn’t calm down. She got more irritated and more frenzied!
“Ahhh!!!” virtual-novel.net growled as virtual-novel.net hastily folded virtual-novel.net clothes.
She was going mad! Really mad! Why did virtual-novel.net have to be so unlucky?

By the time Xyla returned downstairs, everything was back to normal. Guests were eating at the tables while May greeted them like virtual-novel.net was fine. From virtual-novel.net behavior, it was as if nothing had happened. She was still wearing a bright smile.
Xyla was used to May Conner’s shamelessness.
Hence, Xyla shifted virtual-novel.net gaze to Stanley. Even in a sea of people, virtual-novel.net could spot virtual-novel.net with just one glance. Everyone else talked to each other while only virtual-novel.net sat alone, aloof and detached.
His sitting posture was most proper out of everyone present. His actions were similar to that of a well-educated aristocrat.
Many young ladies from tables beside virtual-novel.net were staring at him, but virtual-novel.net never gave them so much as a glance. Just then, virtual-novel.net slowly lifted his head as his gaze fell on virtual-novel.net face in the sea of people.
He put his chopsticks down, and in front of everyone, strode over to her. He was staring only into virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Is everything taken care of?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Yeah.” Xyla nodded slightly. “Have you finished eating?”
“Yeah,” virtual-novel.net replied faintly.
“Then, let’s take a seat inside my car to take a breather,” said Xyla, then virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head to send Georgie a WeChat message, ‘Proceed.’
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Stanley asked.
“I’ll eat later. I don’t have an appetite.”
Xyla smiled, holding the white fox fur coat tighter as virtual-novel.net walked outside.
The moment virtual-novel.net turned, May coincidentally caught sight of her. The latter’s expression immediately darkened as virtual-novel.net kept scolding Xyla, calling virtual-novel.net a b*tch in virtual-novel.net heart.
Stanley followed and walked beside her. This gorgeous couple attracted looks of envy from the people around them. The weather outside was tranquil, with the sun shining bright.
Although the temperature was still low, it was considered good weather for winter in Atlantis City.
She was wearing only transparent stockings, so virtual-novel.net quickly dashed into the red Maserati due to the chill and turned on the heater the moment virtual-novel.net stepped outside.
Soon, virtual-novel.net got in from the other side. He rolled down the window halfway and lit a cigarette.
He did not smoke the cigarette but held it between his slender fingers, letting the smoke surround virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net slowly turned to look at her. “When did you find out that Emily wasn’t pregnant?”
“I was already suspicious when virtual-novel.net announced virtual-novel.net pregnancy, so I took virtual-novel.net pulse,” Xyla answered with a smile. “Do you remember when Emily got sent to prison? Back then, virtual-novel.net wasn’t pregnant. I suspect that virtual-novel.net has bribed a law enforcement officer to escape getting caught.”
