Mary Sullivan’s heart immediately began to race, and virtual-novel.net looked frightfully to where the teacup had been thrown from, only to find Tony Sullivan staring at virtual-novel.net face with a murderous glare.
Bailey Ronson sat next to him, afraid of even breathing too loudly, and was wiping sweat off virtual-novel.net forehead the entire time.
“Get your ass over here! You backstabber!” Tony was huffing and puffing while virtual-novel.net yelled at Mary.
Because of Mary, Tony was completely humiliated today. Now, virtual-novel.net wondered how many people were mocking the Sullivan family. When Tony thought about this, virtual-novel.net felt too embarrassed to even go out there and face other people.
Mary sucked in a breath of cold air before reluctantly walking over to Tony with virtual-novel.net head lowered. “Father, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you,” virtual-novel.net confessed.
She was well aware of virtual-novel.net father’s temper. At this point, only a sincere admission of guilt could possibly save virtual-novel.net life.
Although virtual-novel.net father doted on her, virtual-novel.net never compromised when it came to matters of principle.
“What’s the use of being sorry? Can my reputation be salvaged just because you apologized? Why am I so unlucky to have cumbersome children like you and Tom?” Tony uttered.
It was as if Mary and Tom had purchased their own column on the list of hottest news. As soon as one was removed from the list, the other would show up on it. There was no dignity to be spoken of the Sullivan family now.
Tony was so angry that virtual-novel.net thought about strangling Mary right away.
Mary kept virtual-novel.net head down, afraid to even look at Tony’s face. “I’m sorry, Father. I’m truly sorry. I was wrong.”
“Using a stupid counterfeit to scam fifty million dollars from me. You’re the real deal, Mary Sullivan. How much did this necklace actually cost?” Tony asked.
“Ten… Ten million…” Mary said truthfully despite knowing the consequences.
“Ten million… Ten million dollars for it, and yet you came to me for fifty million dollars…! You’re a real piece of work, making money off your family at such a young age. What did you do with the rest of the forty million dollars you cheated from me?”
“I… I bought a car… And clothes,” Mary stammered.
“Very well, a daughter of my own upbringing.” With that, Tony picked up a cup of warm tea and poured it mercilessly against Mary’s face.
“Ahhh…” Mary screamed in horror and began to continually wipe the water from virtual-novel.net face and virtual-novel.net head with virtual-novel.net sleeve.
Bailey carefully tugged at Tony’s hand. “Honey, don’t be mad, Mary is still a kid. She’ll behave better once virtual-novel.net gets older,” virtual-novel.net said softly.
“A kid? How is virtual-novel.net still a kid? She’s grown up a long time ago! Why is Xyla Quest such an excellent daughter to Jeremy Quest, while my Mary here is a useless piece of trash? Xyla makes virtual-novel.net father proud wherever virtual-novel.net goes. What about Mary? She does the opposite. Wherever virtual-novel.net goes, that’s where I end up getting embarrassed!” Tony snapped angrily.
The more virtual-novel.net thought about this, the more upset virtual-novel.net became. Never mind that Mary embarrassed him, Tony even found out that virtual-novel.net cheated his money using this counterfeit item as an excuse.
How could virtual-novel.net tolerate this?
Tony’s words hit Mary’s self-esteem hard, and virtual-novel.net jealousy and hatred toward Xyla rose skyrocketed once more. She wanted to retort but didn’t dare to do so. Hence, virtual-novel.net could only grit virtual-novel.net teeth and let the anger fill virtual-novel.net heart.
“Someone! Drag virtual-novel.net out and whip virtual-novel.net a hundred times!” Tony ordered assertively. His words were final.
When Mary heard this, virtual-novel.net nearly peed in virtual-novel.net pants. She immediately trembled and knelt to the ground with virtual-novel.net palms pressed together, constantly rubbing them back and forth while virtual-novel.net looked sorrowfully at Tony. “Father, I’m sorry. I was wrong,” virtual-novel.net pleaded.
A hundred lashes!
If virtual-novel.net was really whipped a hundred times, could virtual-novel.net skin ever recover?
Her entire body would be covered in scars!
“Honey, please don’t… I’m begging you,” Bailey pleaded for Mary while virtual-novel.net tugged at Tony’s hand again.
Bailey was equally dumbfounded right now. However, Tony had made up his mind. He pushed Bailey’s hand away. “Get out of my way!”
After that, virtual-novel.net shouted in the door’s direction again. “Hurry up! Drag virtual-novel.net out of here!”
