If Bailey Ronson hadn’t spewed those nonsensical things, the Sullivan family wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble.What if all the banks stopped providing the Sullivan family with loans in the future? What would they do?When Bailey saw how upset Tony Sullivan seemed, she didn’t dare to say a word. In fact, she was even careful not to breathe too loudly.Everyone else around him behaved the same way.After the performances on the stage ended, Jeremy Quest held May Conner’s hand and walked onto the stage.He was preparing to give a speech.Meanwhile, the people who surrounded Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton quickly returned to their seats and looked at the stage.After Jeremy had thanked a bunch of people involved, it was now time for the donation drive.Guests got ready with their enlarged copies of cheques before going on stage one after another.Once the other guests were done with their donations, Stanley held Xyla’s hand and walked up to Jeremy and May. He took a golden
Wherever Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest went, all eyes were on them.Emily Quest could no longer sit still. She got up right away and quickly made her way to the restroom to freshen up.When Bailey Ronson saw Emily going to the restroom, she too got up and went after her.As soon as Emily entered the restroom, she walked to a window inside before angrily clenching her fist and punching the windowsill.Despite the pain she felt in her knuckles, she didn’t seem to be bothered by it.If it weren’t because of where she was, she would have lost control and shouted out loudly.‘Xyla Quest… You b*tch. Why are you always so lucky?’ Emily thought to herself as her eyes turned red.She couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.Could there be something wrong with the information that the person provided her?Could he have been lying to her?Emily was determined to get to the bottom of this!Very soon, Bailey entered the restroom.When she saw Emily, her gaze turned cold. She directly cl
The man’s eyes were full of tenderness, unlike when he was in the hall with the others just now. A mischievous smile blossomed on Stanley Batton’s face.From Xyla Quest’s angle, she could vaguely see the red mark under his collar.He looked exceptionally sexy and flirty with it.Xyla could feel her heart racing like a little girl who had fallen in love for the first time.A flutter of electricity ran through her body.Her blush had spread across her face, all the way to her neck. Her hands were wrapped around Stanley as she looked around them and frowned. “Stop it. There are people walking in and out from time to time. Don’t act like a pervert here.”The man’s eyes gradually became ambiguous. “What’s wrong with that if the target is my wife?”“Nasty.” Xyla’s face turned red again. “Hurry up and be honest with me. What happened to our marriage license? When did you get it on your phone?”“This morning. Grandpa told me that he added a picture of us onto our marriage license, so
“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 her and strode toward them, coming to a halt beside Tom. Likewise, she 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 she looked at Bailey.Thinking about everything she had done at the banquet today and how she used to support Tom Sullivan to dump her, Xyla could never forgive her.Xyla’s kidney was right there in her body.However, all through her life, she took everything for granted and she 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
Tony Sullivan’s face was as gloomy as a thunderstorm.The tension in the spacious living room was palpable. A cold chill washed over the few of them.The whole world seemed to be freezing at the moment.Bailey Ronsin let out an audible gasp at the sight of the angry expression carved on her husband’s face.She was dead. She knew that she was dead.Looking at Bailey’s helpless and panicked figure, satisfaction and joy surged up within Emily Quest.This damned, wicked woman… Finally, someone was going to give her a lesson.Tom Sullivan and Julian Sullivan were extremely anxious and scared. They were both worried about their mother.“Bailey, get your ass over here,” Tony ordered coldly.Bailey shuddered, as his frightful tone broke the silence in the air. Clutching her face with her hands, she shuffled to Tony’s front as fast as she could.Tom immediately pushed Julian’s wheelchair, following closely behind their mother.On the other hand, Emily took her time to walk to their s
Every bloody cut on Bailey Ronson’s body was like a stimulant to Emily Quest.Before this, she was sulking because her plan to ruin Xyla was a big failure. Nevertheless, all the sorrow and dejection within her had melted away as she 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 her coldly.Finally, coming back to her senses, Emily’s smile faded as she put on a look of fear and grief. She knelt in front of Tony Sullivan with her 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, he raised the riding crop high into the air and lashed out at Bailey again.Emily immediately ran over and pulled Bailey into her arms.In the next second, the crop landed right on her back.Her skin cracked, and her flesh split ope
Xyla Quest enjoyed the food served today very much, especially the plum braised ribs. It tasted amazing. Her appetite was much better before too.Noticing her love for the ribs, Stanley Batton reached for the ribs and fed her intimately.When the crowd saw the pair’s sweet interaction, jealousy began to stir in their hearts again.Jeremy Quest looked at them with a satisfied expression etched on his face. “Gee, how good it is to be young…” Memories of him feeding Xyla’s mother when they were young flashed in his mind.Xyla smiled at her father. “Daddy, why aren’t you eating?”Jeremy teased her. “I’m already full from looking at you lovebirds. What kind of sweet love is this?”“Daddy, hurry up and eat something,” said Xyla, embarrassed.“Alright, I will. Stan, have some food as well. She’s not handicap. She can eat with her own hands,” Jeremy joked again.However, Stanley did not say anything. He gave Jeremy a polite smile and continued to feed Xyla.“Aye, when will a sweet r
Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton both looked stunned when they heard this.Neither of them thought that Henry would actually be their grandfather’s friend.In fact, they thought Bailey Ronson bribed him to pretend to be his grandfather’s friend and to deceive others.Stanley had never been introduced to Henry as his grandfather’s friend.Immediately, Henry wiped the sweat off his face and looked away from the camera. “I’m… Sigh, it’s hard to explain. I mean, didn't you tell me that your grandson was ugly, Ron? You even showed me a picture and told me that was your grandson… Also, why didn’t you tell me that your family owns Dragon Group?”“I was just trying to keep a low profile. I didn’t want to talk about it, but first, tell me, how did you end up with my grandson? Also, how did you find out about my identity?” Ron Batton had a confused look on his face.“Answer my question first. Do you have any idea that my life is at risk because of you?” Henry added.Ron seemed even more conf
