“Since you know it’s not easy, you should’ve behaved yourself,” Stanley Batton responded half-heartedly. He looked ahead, not even bothering to glance at Tom Sullivan.
Right at this moment, Bailey Ronson walked out of the hall. Seeing the scene in front of her, Bailey immediately closed the door behind virtual-novel.net and strode toward them, coming to a halt beside Tom. Likewise, virtual-novel.net tried to beg Stanley for mercy humbly. “Stan, please forgive me. I know that I was wrong and I’ve learnt from my mistake.”
Pure disgust was all that was on Xyla’s mind as virtual-novel.net looked at Bailey. Thinking about everything virtual-novel.net had done at the banquet today and how virtual-novel.net used to support Tom Sullivan to dump her, Xyla could never forgive her.
Xyla’s kidney was right there in virtual-novel.net body. However, all through virtual-novel.net life, virtual-novel.net took everything for granted and virtual-novel.net never appreciated them.
Was there a need to sympathize with such an ungrateful person?
“If an apology helps, why do we need the police on earth?” Without bothering to talk to them, Stanley hugged Xyla and made his way to the hall.
Despair washed over Bailey. She hugged Tom tightly and helplessly, tears flowing down virtual-novel.net cheeks as virtual-novel.net muttered, “Son, we’re done for, aren’t we? Isn’t that Xyla heartless? Although I’m at fault, Why doesn’t virtual-novel.net try to help us? She deserves to die!”
“It’s unsurprising that Xyla gets mad at us. After all, what you did just now was… But virtual-novel.net really doesn’t bother to help us at all. That’s so cruel.”
“Cruel? She’s evil, okay? I’m so disgusted at her.” Bailey stomped virtual-novel.net foot in rage.
As soon as Bailey finished virtual-novel.net sentence, the door of the hall flung open again.
Tony Sullivan darted out of the hall with a gloomy face and headed straight for Bailey. Raising his hand, virtual-novel.net threw his hand forward as hard as virtual-novel.net could, swinging it across virtual-novel.net face.
He slapped virtual-novel.net with all his might. Very soon, Bailey’s right cheek became swollen. There was blood at the corner of virtual-novel.net lips.
She was looked on blankly, stunned. Tears started to flow down virtual-novel.net cheeks like a river escaping a dam. She stared at Tony with virtual-novel.net watery eyes as virtual-novel.net hand slowly made it to virtual-novel.net fire-red cheek “Honey, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I made a terrible mistake… Ahhh…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Tony’s hand cracked across virtual-novel.net face once more. The slap was as loud as a clap, causing virtual-novel.net head to reel sickeningly as a buzzing sound started to ring in virtual-novel.net ear.
“If this matter is not resolved, we’ll divorce!”
With that out of the way, Tony directly walked into the elevator without looking back at the two of them.
Bailey sank to the floor in shock while clutching virtual-novel.net face with both of virtual-novel.net hands, looking exceptionally miserable. Tom was heartbroken as virtual-novel.net looked at his dejected mother. Immediately, virtual-novel.net knelt and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. “Please don’t cry, Mom. I’ll find a way to sort it out.”
“Tom, did you hear that? Your father wants to divorce me!”
“I’m not going to let that happen.”
“But… We can’t survive this crisis!” Bailey’s arms wrapped tightly around Tom’s body. She choked, thinking about that.
“Alright, alright. I understand you’re worried, but there are too many people here. It’s going to worsen the situation if anyone sees us like this. I’ll go in to get Julian, and we’ll go home first, okay? We’ll think about how to solve the problem after that.” As Tom spoke, virtual-novel.net patted Bailey’s back gently several times.
Bailey nodded slowly before climbing up from the floor, all the time trembling. Tears continued to roll down virtual-novel.net cheeks as fear welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Tom soon entered the hall and bade a brief farewell to Jeremy Quest before pushing Julian Sullivan, who was in a wheelchair, straight to the hall’s exit.
When Emily Quest noticed that the Sullivan family was leaving, virtual-novel.net quickly followed after them.
Tom drove all of them back to their house. When they entered the house, no one was in the living room except for Tony.
There was a long riding crop placed on the coffee table in front of him.
