Every bloody cut on Bailey’s body was like a stimulant to Emily Quest. Before this, virtual-novel.net was sulking because virtual-novel.net plan to ruin Xyla was a big failure. Nevertheless, all the sorrow and dejection within virtual-novel.net had melted away as virtual-novel.net looked at the scene unfolding before her.
“Emily, what are you doing there? Hurry up and help us to plead for Mom right now!” Tom Sullivan ordered virtual-novel.net coldly.
Finally, coming back to virtual-novel.net senses, Emily’s smile faded as virtual-novel.net put on a look of fear and grief. She knelt in front of Tony Sullivan with virtual-novel.net hands folded. “Dad, please forgive Mom. Though she’s wrong, she’s your wife after all… If you’re not going to stop, please hit me instead of Mom…”
Tony gathered all his strength to free himself from Tom’s arms. Shortly after, virtual-novel.net raised the riding crop high into the air and lashed out at Bailey again.
Emily immediately ran over and pulled Bailey into virtual-novel.net arms. In the next second, the crop landed right on virtual-novel.net back. Her skin cracked, and virtual-novel.net flesh split open.
The scene terrified everyone in the living room.
None of them had expected that Emily would sacrifice herself to shield Bailey, not even Bailey herself.
At that moment, Bailey was extremely touched by virtual-novel.net action.
“Ahhh… Dad, please stop hitting Mom… Vent your anger on me instead…” Emily had rubbernecked enough, and it was virtual-novel.net chance to start acting now.
By doing so, virtual-novel.net could greatly win the Sullivan family’s favor and avoid herself from being divorced by virtual-novel.net husband. On top of that, Bailey would still be useful to virtual-novel.net in the future. Therefore, virtual-novel.net had to build a good rapport with this pawn for virtual-novel.net benefit. Besides, Tom would look at virtual-novel.net differently from now on, or even fall for virtual-novel.net perhaps.
Tony Sullivan raised his crop again. “Get out of the way!”
However, Emily did not move at all and continued to hug Bailey tightly, determined to protect her.
“Emily, aren’t you scared?” Bailey asked breathlessly.
Emily nodded virtual-novel.net head desperately. “I am. But I’m more afraid of you getting beaten up by Dad instead of myself.”
For a moment, Bailey felt that Emily had changed. She was not as annoying as before.
Tony did not whip Emily in the end. He finally decided to put a stop to it as virtual-novel.net did not want to implicate the innocent. Ruthlessly throwing away the crop in his hand, virtual-novel.net glowered at Bailey once more before turning to face Julian Sullivan. “Julian, it’ll be hard for you from today onward.”
Following what statement, virtual-novel.net left the four of them and went upstairs. He did not say anything to Tom.
Tom was extremely disappointed about that. He thought his father would at least ask for his help after what had happened. Nevermind. It did not matter. He was going to help out even if his father did not ask virtual-novel.net to. As long as virtual-novel.net managed to solve the crisis faced by Sullivan Food Group, the situation would be different then.
Gathering his thoughts, virtual-novel.net quickly pushed Julian to where Bailey and Xyla were sitting. He then helped Bailey to get up from the floor, without even looking at Emily.
In his eyes, Emily was merely a smelly rag. No matter what virtual-novel.net did, it would never get rid of the disgust in his heart toward her.
Emily’s heart sank when virtual-novel.net looked at Tom’s apathetic attitude.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net tried to ignore virtual-novel.net feelings and got up to help Bailey. “Mom, let’s go to the hospital.”
Bailey nodded in agreement before asking her, “Are you okay?”
Emily simply shook virtual-novel.net head. “It’s nothing. I’m glad to be able to block that whip for you, Mom.”
Upon hearing that, Bailey’s heart was warmed instantaneously. Today, none of virtual-novel.net sons had come up to protect virtual-novel.net from the whip.
Only Emily…

Meanwhile at the hotel, the guests surrounding Xyla and Stanley gradually left their table. The two of them were pretty hungry already. As a result, they were focused on the food right now.
