Emily Quest was the first to hit the ground. Tom Sullivan then landed on top of her, which instantly caused Emily to cry out in pain.“Ouch… It hurts. I want to go to the hospital. Brother-in-law, why are you doing this to me?” Emily asked while she panted.However, Stanley remained calm and behaved as if he was not the person who just kicked Tom.“Help… Everyone, help me. Help!” Emily cried out continuously.“Stanley, don’t you think that’s too much? Your wife is committing murder right now! Are you just going to let her do that?” Emily’s uncle yelled coldly as he glared at Stanley.Stanley slowly shifted his gaze over to the man.“Yeah, even if she kills somebody, I’ll let her do it,” he said.The man was immediately lost for words.“This is getting out of hand! The couple is heartless! They should both die!” Someone in the crowd yelled out.“Someone, come and take Emily away for me!” May Conner quickly yelled out.However, Xyla Quest began to smile broadly.Within a second, Xyla wal

As Emily Quest shivered from head to toe, she could already picture how things would turn out.“You… What are you saying?” Emily pretended to sound weak as she lay flat on the ground. Her gaze was darting from left to right.The people who were yelling at Xyla Quest a moment ago now kept their mouths shut. They all looked at the bloody bag in Xyla’s hand with a look of disbelief on their faces.Without even asking, they all had an answer to the question in their minds.“Xyla Quest, what are you doing? Your little sister is covered in blood. Shouldn’t we get her to the hospital immediately? What are you holding in your hand?” May Conner shouted as her pupils dilated and darted around frantically.“What am I holding? It’s the planted evidence Emily wanted to frame me with for her miscarriage, of course,” Xyla said coldly before tossing the bloody bag at Tom Sullivan.“From the looks on your faces, I’m sure you all know the answer. That’s right. It is exactly what you think it is,”

Flint subconsciously glanced at Jeremy. The latter simply waved, signaling him to take the pulse. Upon receiving his instructions, Flint swiftly approached Emily. Seeing as things were about to go wrong, Emily started struggling. Xyla quickly flipped her over and pressed her to the ground. Flint took this chance to seize her hands and take her pulse. A few seconds later, his expression changed immensely. He looked at the crowd and stammered, “From… Judging from her pulse, she really isn’t pregnant.” At this, Stanley mildly raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xyla as his lips curled into a slight arc. Everyone else’s expression was completely dark. In an instant, Emily became the target of scorn. Voices of discussion started spreading like wildfire, sounding harsh and relentless. Jeremy was too furious even to stand. He held onto the railing with one hand for support and bellowed at Emily, “You piece of rubbish! I really have no idea where all your atrociousness came from.”

“They both share the same surname, but why are they so different? Xyla is so honorable, why can’t Emily be the same?” “Perhaps it’s because of the difference in their mothers’ background.” “Xyla is so generous and well-manned.” May was on the verge of exploding in anger after hearing these comments from bystanders, but she could not retort. She could only grit her teeth and try to act angry as she held Emily up and gave her a tight slap. This slap hurt Emily, but it hurt her even more. Emily did not resist, allowing her mother to slap her. She knew full well that it was impossible for her mother not to hit her this time. “You wretched fool! I never thought you would actually do such a thing! Didn’t you already promise me that you would get along with Xyla? “It wasn’t too long ago when you said that. Did you already forget? You really know how to embarrass me and embarrass our entire Quest family! “Emily Quest, what else do you have the nerve to do?” Enduring the pai

After that, he went ahead upstairs and called the police to inform them not to come over, saying that it was all just a misunderstanding. “Go and eat. I’ll come to find you later.” Xyla smiled at the man beside her. Her tone was tender as usual. “Okay.” Stanley lifted his hand to gently caress her head. This action made her heart skip a beat. However, as many pairs of eyes were watching, she could not say anything but simply turn to go upstairs. She followed Jeremy into the study. Upon entrance, Jeremy closed the door with a stern expression before walking over to the expensive rosewood desk and sitting down. Xyla stood across him. “Xyla… When did you install the surveillance camera at home?” Jeremy asked directly. “And when did you find out that Emily was never pregnant? You seem prepared like you have known this all along.” Xyla gently swept her ponytail back before answering truthfully, “I’ve actually known a long time ago. I just didn’t want to expose her, so I en

Xyla said nothing but hugged Jeremy in silence. “I just feel apologetic toward you.” Xyla’s eyes gradually turned red. “Don’t say such things anymore.” Jeremy gently let go of her. “Say, since she was faking her pregnancy, why wasn’t she exposed when she entered the detention center?” Jeremy could not figure this out. The doctors outside could be bribed, but after entering the detention center, how could she bribe the doctor in such a short amount of time? “Maybe she bribed the person who took her blood sample.” She had thought of this question before. Because once Emily was taken into the police car, she no longer had the chance to contact the outside world. Hence, the possibility of someone helping her from the outside was zero. The only possibility left was that she had promised the person responsible for her health checkup, and that person caved after hearing Emily’s tempting offer. After Emily was released, Xyla had secretly hacked into Emily’s phone and realized tha

Xyla scoffed. “That’s right. Are you unsatisfied? If you are, hold it in.” The anger in Emily’s heart rose once again. To her, this response sounded like a challenge. “You’ve calculated everything and was just waiting for me to make a fool of myself. So even if my actions today were flawless, I would still be caught, and this show was destined to fail.” Emily was trembling in a fury. At first, she thought that her plan was perhaps flawed. However, after seeing that surveillance video from Xyla, she understood immediately. Xyla had come prepared. She had known it all along. “That’s right,” Xyla replied calmly, the smile on her face gradually deepening. It was both enchanting and aloof. “Xyla Quest, someday, I’ll kill you with my own hands.” Emily raised her hand and attempted to slap Xyla’s face. However, before her hand could reach, like a spark of swift lightning, Xyla had caught Emily’s wrist. “You’re welcomed to try.” The next second, Xyla threw a swift and heavy sla

“I found nothing yet,” answered a female voice from the other end. “Continue investigating! I’ve said that I will reward you with 1.5 million dollars, now I’m offering you two million!” After that, she hung up. Then, she called Tom’s number again, but this time, the operator informed her that the number was invalid. She knew that Tom had blocked her number. She wanted to immediately return to the Sullivan manor, but knowing that the Sullivan family was currently livid, going back now would do her no good. Moreover, without knowing how things would develop and if she needed to return to prison, the best option was to run away. She would leave the rest to her mother and try to solve her own problems for now. At this thought, she began speedily packing her luggage, without any attention to pay to her dress that was now covered in blood. Even when packing her luggage, the image of how she got played by Xyla today kept resurfacing in her mind. With these thoughts, she couldn
