“Brother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.” Emily Quest’s tears would not stop rolling down snazzynovel.com cheeks.
Her body was trembling severely as snazzynovel.com looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.
“Emily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?” Tom said through gritted teeth while snazzynovel.com clenched his fists tightly.
Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, snazzynovel.com still felt very hurt by his words. Emily felt as if snazzynovel.com mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.
“I told you none of this is at it seems,” Emily explained.
However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to snazzynovel.com explanation as snazzynovel.com turned his face away.
After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as snazzynovel.com quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest and kneeled on the ground.
“Dad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.” She held onto Jeremy’s hand tightly.
Since Jeremy was already very angry, Emily’s behavior was the final straw to trigger him.
“You are the criminal in the Qtiest family. If you still try to deny what you did, I will beat you to death right now!” Jeremy yelled before slapping Emily across snazzynovel.com face forcefully.
Wham!
Emily’s right cheek became swollen as a red mark of fingerprints became apparent.
Jeremy had not held back when snazzynovel.com slapped Emily. When Emily felt the impact, everything turned dark before snazzynovel.com while snazzynovel.com could hear a buzzing sound in snazzynovel.com ears. Very soon, a stream of red liquid began flowing out from the corner of snazzynovel.com mouth.
In that instant, Emily wished snazzynovel.com could bury herself in a hole. She felt deeply embarrassed that Tom was still around and personally witnessed snazzynovel.com in such a terrible state.
If snazzynovel.com had known this would happen, snazzynovel.com would not have asked snazzynovel.com to come!
Now, what would Tom think of her? Would snazzynovel.com hate snazzynovel.com even more?
The more Emily thought about this, the worse snazzynovel.com felt. Her sobbing became even more uncontrolled.
“Emily Quest, do you know what your behavior would have done to the Quest family if Xyla hadn’t taken care of the mess you made? The entire group could have been shut down because of your selfish desires. By then, the business I’ve worked so hard to build would be destroyed in a single day! Although you are both my daughters, look at yourself and look at Xyla! You two are worlds apart! As a wife, May Conner, you are also worlds apart from Xyla’s mother!” Jeremy held onto the couch’s armrest while snazzynovel.com pointed a finger at Emily.
His face had turned red from anger and veins were apparent on his neck.
Emily felt extremely intimidated by the sight of Jeremy right then. Meanwhile, his words pierced through snazzynovel.com heart like a spear. Had Xyla managed to resolve everything? Was snazzynovel.com that capable?
Likewise, May felt deeply hurt by Jeremy’s words.
May realized that snazzynovel.com had utterly underestimated Xyla. Now, snazzynovel.com cheeks were hot with embarrassment. She had not expected snazzynovel.com daughter and herself to have dug their own graves.
What about Xyla?
Not only did nothing happen to her, Xyla was even able to prove snazzynovel.com worth by resolving the mess May and Emily had created.
