“Brother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.” Emily Quest’s tears would not stop rolling down her cheeks. Her body was trembling severely as she looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.“Emily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?” Tom said through gritted teeth while he clenched his fists tightly.Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, she still felt very hurt by his words.Emily felt as if her mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.“I told you none of this is at it seems,” Emily explained.However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to her explanation as he turned his face away.After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as she quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest and kneeled on the ground.“Dad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.” She held onto Jeremy’s hand tightly.Since Jeremy was already v

“Are you b*tches refusing to admit what you did? Alright… I’m not going to continue with this bickering. I didn’t want to deal with this internally anyway. Somebody, come here! Take Emily and her mother to the cops!” Jeremy Quest ordered coldly.When Emily and May heard this, their faces turned pale.“If you refuse to speak the truth here, the police will be able to make you do so at the police station!” Jeremy’s voice cracked by the time he was close to finishing his sentence.“I didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you turning me in to the police? I’m still a pregnant lady,” Emily shouted while she placed a hand over her stomach as she crawled up.“So what if you are a pregnant lady? A pregnant lady can still be investigated by the police! You should be lucky you are a pregnant lady. Otherwise, I would beat you up directly!” Jeremy yelled.“Husband, let’s sort this out internally. We shouldn’t advertise our domestic issues to outsiders. What are you doing?” May shouted.Thereafter, May

“Officers, did you hear that? She admitted it. Take her away immediately! There’s no need to investigate! Also, please investigate my wife. She’s part of this!” Jeremy stood up and said to the police officers.By then, Emily already felt hopeless. She knew this was the end for her.“Brother Sullivan, why don’t you say something to save me? If I’m taken away, our wedding might be indefinitely postponed! The child would be affected too!” Emily immediately turned to look at Tom Sullivan.Since Tom was eager for Emily to be taken away, and he never wanted to marry her anyway, he did not mind that she would be sent to prison. After all, the police officers would keep her child safe once she arrived.Therefore, Tom turned his face away without saying a word.Undoubtedly, Emily felt even more hurt by his attitude.May Conner could no longer take this anymore. She pointed a finger at Tom Sullivan. “Tom, how could you be this inhumane? She is bearing your child!” May yelled at Tom angrily.“Tha

“Alright, Dad is going upstairs to rest. You should rest early too. Tom, it’s getting late. You should head home soon,” Jeremy Quest said before standing up and heading upstairs.When Xyla Quest saw him leaving, she could not help but feel her heart aching on his behalf.It must have felt terrible to be betrayed by the person he trusted the most. It must have hurt even more to send the person he loved to jail.After Jeremy left, Xyla began heading upstairs as well. It did not seem like she even wanted to speak to Tom Sullivan.Alas, Xyla had seen through all of Tom’s tricks. He was an absolute jerk who did not even deserve to be looked at.However, just as Xyla arrived at the staircase, Tom immediately ran after her. He took one step further up the stairs to stand in her way.After a second, he wrapped his hands tightly around her shoulders.“I was very worried about you after what happened to Imperial Prime. When I saw how well you handled the situation, I felt very happy for you. Why

However, Xyla Quest did not respond to his nonsense. Instead, she frowned a little before using a shoulder throw to bring Tom Sullivan to the ground.Thereafter, Xyla swiftly made her way upstairs and disappeared around the corner without hesitation.After being thrown to the ground, Tom Sullivan barely had the energy to get up, never mind going after Xyla.After a long while, he finally crawled up with much difficulty as he panted and held onto the railing.Had Xyla picked up martial arts? She was even more appealing now.“Xyla, I won’t give up on you.” Tom had a determined look in his eyes.After Xyla went upstairs, she went directly to the master bedroom. As the door was not completely closed, she could see Jeremy smoking on his bed while he sat with his back facing the door.Amidst the smoke, Xyla could see how depressed he appeared. Her heart went out to him.Although Xyla wanted to go in to comfort him, she decided to close the door silently after some though. She knew her father

After three seconds, Zack Cassidy recollected himself. However, he was in a state of disbelief.Fifth Master did not used to be like this.Right then, the computer screen turned gray while a line of words appeared on the screen.“You have been killed.”Stanley Batton acted as if he had not seen it. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Zack.Zack immediately appeared respectful as before.“The person who went around spreading rumors had been located. That person is a famous hacker. Now, he has already admitted to everything. He said that Emily Quest was the person who had instructed him to do so. I heard that the young madam personally decoded the man’s fake IP address and tracked him down. I did not expect her to be a computer expert. She really is amazing,” Zack said.Stanley smiled a little but did not say anything. He was in awe of Xyla’s abilities.“Now, as long as the Quest family makes an announcement to show proof of what had actually transpired, the whole thing will come to pas

Embarrassing moments always came when one was least prepared for them.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton chose to ignore their messages and continued to play the game skillfully. He clicked on the mouse rapidly to activate one skill after another.Although it was only a game, he made it seem as if he were playing the piano. He was the most elegant killer in the world.Very soon, Stanley’s team achieved victory. He immediately removed himself from the queue and proceeded to open the chatroom between him and Xyla Quest in Wechat.After hovering his finger above the screen for a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes a little. “I’ve already memorized the book. What’s next?”Right then, Xyla was also waiting in a queue for her teammates to get matched.“Beep beep…”When Xyla’s phone suddenly started vibrating, she shifted her gaze to the phone.She was surprised to read what Five Batton sent her.How was he able to memorize everything in that book in such a short amount of time? Did he have a photograp

Although Sharon Lindt knew that Stanley Batton did not like it when someone talked to him while he was gaming, Sharon could not resist speaking her mind after seeing ‘Seven’.Stanley gave Sharon a look before he continued fighting against Seven.Sharon sat on the armrest of his chair while she observed the match earnestly.“Can I stay here and observe the entire match? After all, this is a battle between the two best players. I know you don’t like it, but it’s just this one time,” Sharon said.Her eyes were filled with hope and urgency. Sharon was eager to watch Stanley defeat his opponents.Meanwhile, Stanley was completely focused on playing the game. Despite the intense battle, he kept a calm expression on his face and did not say a word.Assuming that he silently agreed, Sharon did not leave.However, Stanley soon died in battle yet again. Like the last time, he was very close to defeating Seven.“Ahhh. If only you used A on him a moment sooner, he would have died instead,” Sharon
