“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
“I saw from the hottest searches that you were attacked by Tom Sullivan’s hired goons. Looks like you made it out in one piece,” said Sharon. “So, you’ve finally shown some concern about that.” “Oh, my attention has been on my daughter-in-law, so I accidentally forgot. Sorry, Son.” “... Oh.” “Right, dear. I want to know if you managed to stun the crowd when you went to the wedding with Xyla last night. Did you show her enough respect? I figure that everyone must have been shocked when they saw what a gorgeous and compatible couple you two are,” exclaimed Sharon with great interest. She latched onto Stanley’s arm affectionately as she spoke, dying of curiosity. Stanley calmly raised an eyebrow in response. “Yeah.” “I knew it. After all, that outfit you were wearing when you left the house last night looked too good on you.” Stanley smiled. “Yeah. My wife has good taste.” “Did Xyla pick out that outfit for you?” “She bought it for me,” Stanley answered calmly. Sharo
Finally, she changed into a light blue chiffon floral dress and a pair of lotus pink boots. She threw on a lotus pink woolen coat to complete the look. With her already gentle temperament, the delicate and nude colors made her seem all the more soft and tender. After checking herself in the full-length mirror, Xyla grabbed her phone and drove to Unconscious Bar. At the crowded late-night bar, no matter what happened on the outside, music would always be playing as everyone indulged themselves. Lively rhythms resonated in the large hall. Every beat was impartial to its listeners. In this bizarre world, men and women dressed in the latest fashions to relax to their hearts’ content. They either gathered around to have drinks or went down onto the dance floor, swinging to the music. As Xyla had told Georgie to meet her there, she kept searching for her as she walked towards the counter. Her pure and angelic coordination attracted countless attention, and many lascivious men started c
Stanley shot them a glare before looking at Xyla and saying, “What a coincidence.” “Yeah,” she replied.“Old Fifth, aren’t you supposed to officially introduce Sister-in-law to us?” asked Sebastian. Xyla immediately blushed and explained out of reflex, “Don’t you guys misunderstand. I’m not his girlfriend. We’re just friends.”What had Five Batton told them about her? Why was he calling her Sister-in-law? Sebastian was still smiling. “Yeah, it’s true that you’re not his girlfriend, but you’re…” He turned to Stanley and gave him a mischievous smile. Stanley simply shot him an ice-cold glare. “Do you have a death wish?” Feeling a chill down his spine, Sebastian shut up at once, not daring to say another word. Henry gave Stanley a meaningful look before smiling at Xyla and greeting her, “Hi, I’m a good friend of Old Fifth’s, Henry Armstrong. No matter what relationship you have with Old Fifth, I’m still pleased to meet you.” Xyla took the initiative to shake hands with him
