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

Xyla Quest was truly cruel!Even if Emily Quest was never nice to her, they were still sisters. How could Xyla do such things?Emily’s words were like spikes being stabbed against Tom Sullivan’s mind.All of a sudden, his world had been turned upside down.Is this all true? Tom wondered. He felt deeply annoyed and hateful.“Alright. Stop talking. I need some silence,” Tom said before making his way upstairs in a tired manner.Although the wound on his forehead was still bleeding, he completely ignored it. He was deeply confused by his own emotions.If what Emily said was true, wasn’t Xyla too cruel? How could she do this to him when he still cared so much about her?Emily quickly followed him and held his arm affectionately.“Brother Sullivan, walk slowly. Wait for me. I’ll come with you,” Emily said.Tom felt greatly annoyed.Now that Emily was getting close to him, he felt even more annoyed.Tom frowned coldly before heartlessly pulling his arm away. He then took quick strides upstai

“Xyla, you b*tch! I won’t be defeated by you this easily. Just you wait!” Emily murmured coldly to herself. The bright crystal lights above her made her eyes glare with hatred.At the moment, Emily could not help but think about how Xyla and her husband had stolen the limelight during her wedding today.Emily’s heart ached at the thought.For as much as Emily suffered today, it was in equal proportion to which Xyla enjoyed herself. In fact, Xyla was probably the highlight of the wedding.Up until now, Emily still did not understand why Xyla would choose to hide her husband if he was this handsome and was so good in the medical field.If things were exactly as Xyla mentioned, was Xyla only afraid that their father would be upset at her for making the decision to get married on her own? Was that why she intended to slowly reveal the truth to their father?Or was there something else Xyla was hiding?Emily felt that something was amiss.Was the handsome medical professional really Stanley
