Xyla Quest began to feel energetic and full of life again.She quickly checked her pulse once more…This time, from her pulse, she still couldn’t find anything wrong with herself.Hence, Xyla sat up with a sense of relief in her heart.She thought that she must have overeaten last night. On top of that, she hadn’t been getting enough rest and had probably over-exerted herself.Without overthinking, Xyla returned to the bathroom to clean up.After cleaning up, she put on some light make-up and changed into a clean, white shirt dress and a silver belt, as well as espadrille heels. She picked up her silver Hermes purse and walked downstairs.There wasn’t any sound downstairs. Xyla knew that Stanley Batton must have gone to work.Hence, she reflexively walked into the dining room.There was a lot of delicious food on the dining table, including steamed pork rolls, soy milk, fried dough, and tofu pudding.Apart from that, there was also a light-blue note Stanley had left behind. “
“That’s because Linda feels that the person who hates you the most in her group of female friends is Mary. Meanwhile, the timing of that incident was way too coincidental…“As soon as I heard that, I felt that this was indeed what happened. Hence, I didn’t even bother investigating any further,” Georgie Clementine explained everything carefully.This all sounded very logical to Xyla Quest too…Naturally, Mary Sullivan would feel jealous after finding out about all that in the WeChat group…Influenced by her resentment, Mary would naturally think of ways to torture Xyla.Meanwhile, blowing things out of proportion by leaking stuff on Weibo was undoubtedly the best way to do so.That was because if Stanley Batton had done this behind the back of Xyla’s in-laws, they’d surely find out if things got blown out of proportion.Also, Xyla’s in-laws would be mad. Moreover, they would direct their anger at her. In fact, they might even think that Xyla took advantage of Stanley’s riches wi
In the end, the man dressed in black directly raised Mary Sullivan above his head.Although Mary was naturally lean, the man dressed in black was tall and muscular. It was completely effortless for him to pick her up.Right then, it looked as if he was carrying a small chicken.A strong sense of insecurity instantly began to spread from Mary’s heart.She immediately started screaming. “Help… Help… Mmph…”However, after shouting twice, another man in black sealed her mouth up with black tape.Immediately after that, the man in black, who was holding her, mercilessly tossed her to the floor.Mary’s waist landed on the floor first. After that, her head did.Suddenly, Mary felt her mind going blank.Meanwhile, her legs seemed to have gone completely numb. She couldn’t move at all.Although Mary very much wanted to get up and run away, she couldn’t even move.“B*tch, how dare you use Miss Linda’s name to spread the news she shared with you… Are you mad?“Miss Linda told us to te
“You are on bad terms with Xyla Quest purely because of your own doing… With how you behave, I wouldn’t be nice to you if I were Xyla!” After saying that, Linda Jerome forcefully stepped on the back of Mary Sullivan’s hand with her heel.Intense pain spread through Mary’s hand, and she instantly broke into a cold sweat from the pain…Although Mary tried to struggle again, she didn’t have any energy left in her.She was petrified…She was afraid that she would die in Linda’s hands.Mary also felt very aggrieved.Back then, when the Sullivan family was powerful, even folks like the Jerome family would have to step aside.Would Linda have dared to bully Mary back then?Now that the Sullivan family was no longer powerful as it once was, everybody walked all over them.Hehe…If things were the way they were before, Mary would surely get someone to beat Linda to death if she were treated like this.But now, Mary couldn’t do anything even if Linda bullied her.If Mary did somethin
After quickly turning on the faucet, Mary Sullivan briefly cleaned herself up. After that, she fished around in her purse to look for something that could cover her face.However, she couldn’t find anything.In the end, she helplessly braced herself and walked out of the private room with her head down.On her way out, she walked past many people.Everyone who walked past her couldn’t resist glancing at her a few more times.By the time she arrived on the first floor, she had become the center of attention in the entire lobby.“Why is that woman covered in bruises? Could it be a case of domestic violence?”“Look at her. She’s all swollen up like a pig…”“Hang on… Isn’t that Mary Sullivan?”“It really does look like Mary Sullivan. Did she offend someone? She’s doing this all the time. Honestly, she brings shame to the Sullivan family!”Every word and sentence that Mary heard made her feel embarrassed.At this moment, she felt as if her pride was being trampled all over on the
Right after that, a large number of comments came into Xyla Quest’s sight—“At first, when I saw somebody’s face all swollen up like that in a picture, I still felt sorry for that person. But after seeing that the person is Mary Sullivan? Never mind…”“What else could have happened? I remember that this woman always gets herself into trouble. She’s an old witch. She must have asked for it.”“I would still be a little curious if other people were beaten up, but if it’s Mary, I won’t even need to guess to know that it must’ve been her fault.”“Although it’s very mean to say this, I still want to tell the person who beat Mary up that you did a good job.”“Tsk, tsk… She really brings a lot of shame to the Sullivan family… What did she do this time?”Back when Mary Sullivan did many bad things, she often made it onto the list of hot topics.Her reputation wasn’t good, to begin with…Hence, now, Xyla didn’t feel at all surprised by everyone’s comments.Xyla thought that the Sullivan
After sucking in a breath of cold air, Mary Sullivan quickly hung up the phone. Nervously, she turned on the car engine.After that, she grabbed the steering wheel with her trembling hands.She then stepped on the gas pedal and drove quickly away from the clinic in her black Porsche Cayenne.At this moment, Mary’s heart was already up to her throat…She knew that she was going to be in deep trouble.Mary wanted to run and hide, but she knew she couldn’t.She could avoid the trouble for a while, but she couldn’t avoid it forever.If she tried to hide, her father would undoubtedly be even more furious.When he eventually found her, he’d make her suffer even more.Mary knew her father very well. His rage wouldn’t subside just because she hid away for some time.Approximately half an hour later, Mary made it back to the Sullivan family’s house.The bruises on her face and body looked even worse than before.Her entire body looked even more like a pig now.In fact, she looked l
It hurt Mary Sullivan’s ego even more.Despite how Linda Jerome was Mary’s enemy, Mary’s father was teaching her a lesson in front of her enemy.Mary felt thoroughly humiliated, and she was also outraged.However, she could only keep her mouth shut. She didn’t dare to speak a word.“You b*stard! Didn’t I warn you not to cause any trouble, especially not Xyla Quest… Hmm?“Now, not only did you mess with Xyla, but you even messed with Linda. Have you gone mad?” Tony Sullivan started yelling coldly again.Julian Sullivan, who had remained silent all the while, couldn’t help but speak up. “Dad… I think Mary already knows that she’s wrong. Please forgive her.”Tom also started speaking. “Yeah… Dad, please forgive her.”After the two Sullivan brothers finished speaking, they looked at each other before shaking their heads helplessly.Mary didn’t only give Tony a headache, but they also gave the two of them headaches too.When Mary heard this, she instantly looked at Julian and Tom
