“If I were Xyla Quest, I would have slapped May Conner in return. Xyla is too kind.”“I suggest Tom Sullivan, Emily Quest, and May Conner a group called the ‘F3 of Atlantis’ so that they can all go to hell together.”Xyla’s mood was getting better as she read through these comments.Meanwhile, it began snowing outside. The world seemed to be encapsulated in a romantic scene of white snow.At that moment, Xyla felt that the snowy view was spectacular. Everything was so beautiful about the evening scene that she almost found it hard to believe.Even the cold northern wind felt gentle against her skin.‘Be it the Sullivan family, or the Quest family, everyone’s life had been affected.’ Xyla thought.She could imagine how frantic everyone was feeling right then.However, it was far from enough.After tossing her phone aside, Xyla began driving hastily away from the neighborhood and in the direction of home.While Stanley stood in front of the brightly lit window, he observed Xyla leaving b
“I only managed to do a part of what you asked me to. The young madam got to some of them before I could,” Zack Cassidy said.“Oh?” Stanley Batton raised his brows a little before taking another puff of his cigarette.“About exposing May Conner for hitting Xyla Quest, the young madam did it before I could do as you instructed. Originally, Mr. Quest already had plans to get a divorce. Now that things had gone south, I am quite certain he would go ahead with the decision to get a divorce. Also, you asked me to get the police to punish Tom Sullivan for what happened. However, the young madam did it before I could,” Zack explained respectfully.Whenever Xyla was mentioned, Zack felt nothing but respect for that woman.Hearing this, Stanley smiled approvingly. He did not expect Xyla to avenge him secretly.“Apart from that, I have already informed the Sullivan family that we are going to withdraw all our investments from their business just as you instructed,” Zack added.“Alright…” Stanley
Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with these dishes.***By the time Xyla Quest returned home, a thick layer of snow had already covered the courtyard floor.Meanwhile, there were large red lanterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.After quickly getting the car parked, Xyla hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house.As soon as she walked in, she was greeted with warm air that replaced the chill in her body.In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour looks on their faces.An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It seemed an intense fight had occurred earlier.Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in the large space that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.The air seemed heavy and stuffy.Everything had happened
“This matter is non-negotiable. If you are a smart person, you will get this divorce agreement signed immediately. I have given you enough, including five hundred million dollars in cash and two villas. If you refuse, I will take things to court. If that were to happen, you might not get as much as you would now,” Jeremy Quest said coldly without hesitation.Jeremy had signed a prenuptial agreement with May Conner when they got married in the past.Everything under the Quest family’s business belonged to Jeremy privately. Regardless of whether they remained married or not, May would have no claim over any of it.If they brought this to court, May would not benefit at all.Since they were once husband and wife and loved each other in the past and lived together, Jeremy hoped that they could separate in peace. Both parties would be significantly affected if legal measures were to be taken.Although it was a difficult decision, Jeremy knew that it was necessary. It was better to suffer in
Without bickering with May any further, Xyla turned around and started walking upstairs.“Xyla Quest, I won’t let you off the hook! Just you wait! Emily and I won’t be defeated by you this easily!” May murmured to herself in a murderous tone.After returning to her room, Xyla poured herself a glass of red wine and began observing the snowy view outside from her balcony.The layer of snow on the red plum tree seemed so thick that it might cause one of its branches to snap.Against the fully white surrounding, the slight dash of red appeared unusually striking.After taking a sip of the red wine, Xyla could not help but think about Emily.This should have been the happiest moment in Emily’s life because it was the night of her wedding. However, this was perhaps the beginning of Emily’s nightmare.Xyla had once experienced falling from the highest high to the lowest low. She knew all too well how painful it was.When Xyla thought of this, the painful memories began replaying in her mind a
While Tom Sullivan felt the pain spreading across his face, blood began to trickle down his forehead.“B*stard! You are still trying to defend yourself at this point! I don’t care what other people are doing. The Sullivan family absolutely cannot do such things! How dare you compare the Sullivan family to those small companies? You are hopeless!” Tony was so angry that his mind had gone blank. All he wanted to do right now was to kill Tom.When Bailey saw her son being hit like that, her heart went out to Tom.Carefully, Bailey pulled Tony’s hand away.“Husband, things have already gotten this far. Being upset won’t resolve anything. Shouldn’t we focus on finding a solution instead?” She asked.“Shut up! Tom Sullivan turned out this badly because you are too lenient on him! It’s all your fault!” Tony pushed her hand away and roared.Due to how Tony overpowered her, Bailey did not dare say anything else. She was shivering all over.Meanwhile, Mary Sullivan and Emily Quest also gave up o
“From what I know, that factory manager is a greedy gambler. As long as we offer him enough money, it’s likely that he would agree to be the scapegoat for Tom,” Julian said in a serious tone.“As for the issue of Dragon Group withdrawing their investments, I’ll speak to their CEO personally to find out what was going on. I’ll try my best to convince him to change his mind. If he insists on doing so, we’ll think of other ways. Trust me, I’ll sort this out,” Julian added.Tony Sullivan was overjoyed.“That factory manager was previously your subordinate. I’ll leave this to you then. Meanwhile, I’ll personally communicate with the quality checkers in charge of those three brands,” Tony said after nodding slowly.Instead of appearing strict as he was before, Tony now looked approvingly at Julian.After all, Julian was always Tony’s primary choice to take over his position. Julian was indeed exceptional.Years ago, Tony had asked Julian to leave the company because of his disabled legs. Ton
In Tony’s opinion, the Sullivan family could not survive without Julian.In the end, Tony was more confident in Julian than in Tom.When Tom, Emily Quest, Bailey Ronson, and Mary Sullivan heard what Tony said, they were all shocked.Emily and Tom, especially, had mixed feelings about it.Everyone knew what it meant if Tony was asking Julian to return to the factory and take charge.“But Dad, you know I don’t have great mobility. Don’t act out of spite. My little brother has never performed worse than me,” Julian said with a slight frown.“I’m not discussing this with you right now. I am also not acting out of spite,” Tony said before he stomped his foot and stood up. He walked upstairs directly.“Emily, help Tom upstairs to get his wound dressed,” Bailey said coldly to Emily.Thereafter, Mary followed right behind Tony.Carefully, Emily helped Tom to get up.“Let’s go, Brother Sullivan. We’ll get back to our room first,” she said.“Tom, once all this is done and dusted, I’ll persuade D
