Nevertheless, Emily could not find anything to eat even though virtual-novel.net had searched the whole kitchen.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net caught a glimpse of some perfectly untouched sunny-side-up and sandwiches in the trash can.
Pfft…
Did Bailey Ronson just throw away virtual-novel.net breakfast?
Speechless with Bailey’s vileness, Emily stomped virtual-novel.net foot furiously in the kitchen. However, virtual-novel.net managed to regain virtual-novel.net composure within a second or two and returned to Bailey’s side with a depressed face again. “Mom, I’m going to visit Mary later. Can you go with me?”
“Go by yourself if you want to. Why should I go with you?” Bailey snarled, virtual-novel.net attitude as cold-hearted as usual.
Emily snorted and pretended to accidentally drop virtual-novel.net phone on virtual-novel.net yoga mat. As the phone landed on the yoga mat, Bailey’s face darkened instantaneously. She picked up the phone and glared at Emily, “What’s wrong with you?”
When Bailey stole a glance at the phone screen, virtual-novel.net was frozen to the ground. A picture of a man and its household register profile were displayed on the screen, his name was Stanley Batton.
“Who the hell is this person in the picture? Why is virtual-novel.net so ugly? And why is his name Stanley Batton too?” Bailey looked disgusted.
Immediately, Emily retrieved virtual-novel.net phone from Bailey’s hand as fast as virtual-novel.net could, pretending to be nervous. “N-Nothing…”
Noticing the changes in Emily’s expression, Bailey knew that virtual-novel.net was up to something. She rose to virtual-novel.net feet instantly and grasped Emily’s wrist, trying to pry the details out of her. “Tell me. What’s going on? Why do you have this picture on your phone? Why are you so nervous when I see it?”
“It’s nothing, nothing that I can think of, Mom.” Emily kept shaking virtual-novel.net head.
Intuition told Bailey that something was wrong with virtual-novel.net as well as the man in the picture. Otherwise, Emily would not react this way.
The more reluctant Emily was, the more Bailey wanted to dig into the issue. “Spit it out… Emily, if you refuse to tell me now, I’m going to kick you out of the house.”
Emily was delighted and satisfied with Bailey’s reaction. Her mother had suggested a brilliant idea indeed.
“Mom, please stop forcing me. It’s really nothing. I’m serious.”
“You’re not going to tell me, are you? If you plan to keep it to yourself, you can get out of the house right now. You’re not allowed to live with the Sullivans anymore.” Bailey pointed directly at the front door with an angry expression etched on virtual-novel.net face.
Going with the flow, Emily pretended to be helpless and squeezed two drops of tears out of virtual-novel.net eyes. “I can’t tell you about this matter. I don’t dare to tell you either. It’s too serious.”
“Just tell me… Tell me and I’ll bear all the consequences,” Bailey said again.
Emily dropped virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net sighed. “Can you promise me to keep my words as a secret?”
“Okay…” Bailey promised virtual-novel.net without hesitation.
“The Stanley Batton you saw on my phone just now is Xyla’s actual husband. As for the one she’s living together right now, he’s just a stand-in for her. He’s not Xyla’s real husband.” Emily let out a long sigh once more.
Subsequently, virtual-novel.net recounted everything that virtual-novel.net had heard over the phone last night to Bailey.
After hearing the story from Emily, Bailey was dumbstruck by the truth.
“This is ridiculous! I’ve never expected Xyla to be this kind of person,” exclaimed Bailey.
“The man who told me this, is a very talented hacker I came across when I wasn’t depressed and when Xyla was my foe. I had suspected the identity of Xyla’s husband that time.”
“Therefore, I hired virtual-novel.net to look into it. He never managed to find out anything about virtual-novel.net until last night. Yesterday, virtual-novel.net finally found out that profile and sent it to me right away.”
“I don’t have the energy to fight with Xyla anymore so I’m going to keep these secrets to myself. I hope that you can do the same, Mom. Don’t forget what you’ve promised me.” Emily tried virtual-novel.net best to act sincere and pitiful.
“Can’t I go back on my promise? Just because you don’t have the energy to fight with virtual-novel.net doesn’t mean I’m the same as you. She’s a thorn in my flesh for a number of years! Since there’s a wonderful opportunity for me to get revenge on her, why should I give up on it?” Bailey gritted virtual-novel.net teeth.
“But I don’t want to get involved in this. I hope that you can forget everything you’ve heard from me.”
“I can’t. Send me the picture right now.” Following that statement, Bailey raised virtual-novel.net hand, intending to snatch Emily’s phone.
