Chapter 417
With her race car’s engine roaring, Xyla Quest couldn’t hear what Mary Sullivan said at all.Through her rearview mirror, Xyla could see Mary’s twisted facial expression and how mad she appeared.After blandly raising her eyebrows, she quickly calmed down before searching for a contact on her phone named ‘Diana’ and made a call right away. “I need a favor…” Xyla said softly.“What is it?” The woman didn’t sound very fluent in Chinese.***Outside the door, Mary clenched her fists tightly while she cursed at Xyla. After some time, she got into her car.She then stepped on the accelerator, driving so fast that it felt as if her car had turned into a rocket.Since she had nowhere to vent her anger, she could only do so by driving furiously.When she was approaching a junction with a traffic light, the light happened to turn red. Mary brought the car to a direct halt.Buzz, buzz, buzz… Right then, Mary’s phone suddenly began to vibrate.She immediately took it out of her handbag

Why did it feel like this was all planned?Someone bought the butterfly-inspired necklace soon after it was released, but nobody in the world knew who this necklace belonged to.Mary Sullivan liked the necklace so much that she asked someone to make a counterfeit of it.Originally, she thought that since nobody knew who it belonged to, she could wear it to May Conner’s birthday party to show off.But she never thought something like this would happen.During the party, she even said that she would never wear counterfeit accessories, and even laughed at Xyla Quest when she thought Xyla was wearing a counterfeit necklace.People who witnessed this at the party must be laughing at her right now.If Mary had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have worn it.Could Xyla Quest be responsible for all of this? Why else would there be such a coincidence?But after thinking about it, Mary felt it was impossible. How could Xyla possibly know Diana in person? How would she happen to know

“Ahhh!!!” Mary Sullivan was hysterical while she stepped on the accelerator forcefully and sped forward.Her hatred against Xyla Quest grew even more.Mary wished she could skin Xyla alive and drink her blood.Beep, beep, beep… Mary’s phone began to ring after she had driven not too far away.When she saw it was a call from her father, her heart instantly started beating wildly. Her hands on the steering wheel began to tremble wildly too.After taking a deep breath, she stopped her car by the road and frightfully answered the call.“Mary Sullivan!!! Is it so hard for you to not embarrass me for a single day? How did I end up raising a child like you? Where are you? Get your ass back here right now!” Tony Sullivan shouted angrily.Mary immediately shuddered.“Didn’t you say you bought that necklace for fifty million dollars? Didn’t you say it was the original? If it’s a counterfeit, surely it would not have cost so much, right? Tell me. What did you do with the rest of the money

Mary Sullivan’s heart immediately began to race, and she looked frightfully to where the teacup had been thrown from, only to find Tony Sullivan staring at her face with a murderous glare.Bailey Ronson sat next to him, afraid of even breathing too loudly, and was wiping sweat off her forehead the entire time.“Get your ass over here! You backstabber!” Tony was huffing and puffing while he yelled at Mary.Because of Mary, Tony was completely humiliated today. Now, he wondered how many people were mocking the Sullivan family.When Tony thought about this, he felt too embarrassed to even go out there and face other people.Mary sucked in a breath of cold air before reluctantly walking over to Tony with her head lowered. “Father, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you,” she confessed.She was well aware of her father’s temper. At this point, only a sincere admission of guilt could possibly save her life.Although her father doted on her, he never compromised when it came to matter

Not too long after, six bodyguards walked in and began dragging Mary Sullivan out of the house, forcefully. “No… Father please, help…” Mary cried out as she struggled to free herself. Her efforts, however, were futile. Bailey Ronson was in such panic, that she was already in tears, but Tony Sullivan simply ignored her. Mary’s body was pressed against the cobblestone floor by four of the guards. One of them held on to a whip while he walked toward her. He lowered his gaze before respectfully saying, “I apologize for this, Miss. I cannot disobey the master’s orders.” “Let go of me!” screamed Mary. The more she struggled, the more the pebbles on the cobblestone floor scraped against her skin. It hurt terribly. “Miss, please do not struggle. If you don’t, the whip will only hit your back, but if you continue to do so, I cannot guarantee that you won’t be accidentally hit somewhere else.” After she started struggling less, the four bodyguards let her go. Immediately afte

It was a WeChat message from Noah Smith, asking when he could sign the contract with Xyla Quest. Xyla chose to reply by calling him. He picked up almost immediately. “Aren’t you going to ask about the contract details before signing it?” Noah chuckled. “I’m quite sure that you won’t treat me unjustly.” “Even so, couldn’t you at least pretend to be a little more worried?” Xyla laughed. She liked Noah’s straightforwardness. “It’s fine, really. Just get the contract ready and tell me once it’s done. We can sign it in person.” “Sure,” replied Xyla. After hanging up, Xyla suddenly felt an acute pain in her abdomen. It came from the lower right side. Her face turned pale almost immediately. As the pain slowly increased, her body became weaker and weaker. She held onto the sides of the bathtub to pull herself out. A second later, she lost control of her legs and she fell forward. Instinctively, she grabbed on to the closest thing to her and it was a metal shelf full of s

There seemed to be more cars and people on the road. Stanley Batton had to slow down every time he tried to overtake a car. After an agonizing number of cars he had to pass by, they finally arrived at the Municipal Hospital. The hospital’s dean was already waiting for them outside the main entrance alongside a large group of medical staff. Stanley hit the brakes right in front of them and quickly got out. He carried Xyla Quest out from the backseat and placed her on a stretcher that had already been prepared by the dean. Xyla was completely unconscious at this point. “Master Stanley, what’s wrong with her?” asked the dean. “Some kind of stomach ache,” said Stanley as he looked at the dean. The dean didn’t say anything else. With the help of the other medical staff, they carried Xyla hurriedly into the hospital. Stanley followed close behind. Xyla was in the emergency room in no time. After some time, she was officially diagnosed with acute appendicitis. After di

“It’s alright. I’ll ask Georgie to hire a professional caregiver to look after me,” Xyla Quest said as she shook her head. Xyla knew for a fact, that any woman would be upset to find out that their boyfriend was constantly taking care of another. She didn’t want something like that to happen. Since Stanley already had a girlfriend, he and Xyla should keep some distance between them. This was Xyla’s way of showing respect to his girlfriend. Sensing something amiss with Xyla, Stanley frowned slightly. “Is anything the matter?” he asked. Beep, beep, beep… At that moment, Xyla’s phone on the nightstand began to ring. His hand moved over to pick the phone up but just as he was about to hand it over to her, he unintentionally saw that it was Noah Smith who was calling her. Stanley looked at Xyla briefly before picking the call up on her behalf and placing the phone in her hand. Xyla looked at who the caller was. “Noah, what’s up?” She began coughing almost immediately a
