“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

Right then, the door to the last room at the end of the walkway was opened.Julian Sullivan appeared in his wheelchair.Dressed in white pajamas, his fair skin seemed almost jade-like. It was as if his elegance was a quality he was born with.When Julian came out from his room, he witnessed Tom being taken away by the police officers. Julian immediately narrowed his eyes and stopped wheeling himself forward.Emily Quest saw Julian the moment she turned around.Julian quickly showed a cheerful expression.“Little sister, what happened to Tom?” He asked.Emily immediately came up with a thought before she hurried over and explained everything to Julian.“Big brother, can we keep this from your parents? If anything happens to Tom again, it would really be over for him,” Emily said.Although Emily had not interacted much with Julian, she always knew that Julian was a good brother to Tom. Ever since they were kids, Julian had looked after Tom very well.Therefore, she knew that Julian would

“Tom Sullivan was taken away by the police last night. Currently, the investigations are underway. This matter has already made the headlines. Although the police have not confirmed the allegations, the internet users have already convicted Tom of being guilty. He’s being verbally bombarded,” Georgie said while she chuckled lightly.“We didn’t even need to do anything. The matter was exposed very easily. I wonder what the Sullivan family is doing. Shouldn’t they be keeping things on the low?” Georgie added.Xyla felt equally shocked by what she heard.Logically, based on the Sullivan family’s power, it should be easy for them to hide these things from the media.During such trying times, there was no reason for the Sullivan family to allow such news to spread so quickly unless somebody else was behind it.Could it be the same person?What kind of rivalry existed between them?Regardless of how it happened, it was good news to Xyla. As long as the outcome was favorable, Xyla had no reas

Since Xyla Quest was fairly confident about her cooking skills, she did not taste the dishes after she cooked them.However, Five Batton did not say anything at the time. That must have meant the white powder was salt, right?Ding—Right then, the toaster rang. The toasts were done.Xyla immediately stopped thinking about what happened the night before while she proceeded to focus on making sandwiches for her father.Once the sandwiches were done, Xyla personally grounded some coffee beans and prepared some caramel for her father’s favorite caramel coffee. Finally, she brought all the food with her to the study.Knock, knock, knock.After knocking gently on the door several times, Xyla pushed the door open and walked in.At that moment, Jeremy was standing in front of a high-class rosewood desk while he paid full attention in writing two large calligraphic words on a long piece of white paper.“Serene heart.”A huge bookshelf, which did not have a hint of dust on it, extended across th

“Even if he were to be released from prison, I would never entrust him with any responsibilities again. What else is he capable of apart from causing a mess?!” Tony Sullivan shouted while he slammed his chopsticks on the dining table. His body was shivering with anger.Meanwhile, nobody else in the family had the courage to speak. They all had a gloomy expression on their faces.“Dad, please don’t be upset. I believe Brother Sullivan will change his ways after this incident,” Emily Quest said with trembling hands.At first, Emily thought she could keep this a secret from the rest of the family. However, it ended up being broadcasted in the media.Xyla Quest must have done this too. It must have been her!Right then, Emily was truly afraid. It really did seem like Tom Sullivan would lose his position as the family heir.If that were to happen, what would Emily do? It was a series of misfortunate events!Now, Emily’s parents were on the brink of getting divorced. If that happened, couple
