The things people were saying felt like direct slaps at Emily Quest’s face.It felt increasingly difficult for her to stand her ground.What was it like being a street rat that everyone hated?Emily was the perfect example…In fact, she felt like she was even lesser than a street rat right now.Emily subconsciously raised her head and looked at the Sullivan family.She saw Tom Sullivan watching her with a gloomy expression. His eyes were full of disdain.Meanwhile, Bailey Ronson and Tony Sullivan had equally grim expressions on their faces.Trembling, Emily took a few steps back. She looked at Xyla with reddened eyes. “Xyla… You’re really shameless… Why are you doing this to me? Even if I had set you up, you shouldn’t treat me like this. At the end of the day, I’m still your sister!”“When you were harming her, you didn’t seem to think of her as your sister. Do you remember now?”“Emily Quest… Can you be quiet for a while?”“You ought to apologize…”People around Emily con

Emily Quest immediately tightened her grip on the phone as she gritted her teeth. “What do you mean?”Xyla Quest smiled a little, but she didn’t answer Emily. Instead, she hung up the phone right away.Emily felt a little frantic.What was Xyla going to do?Did Xyla have another scheme she had yet to execute?Meanwhile, May Conner stood in the courtyard for a long while before calming down her anger and her panic-stricken heart. She turned around and entered the living room to greet the other guests with Jeremy Quest.Throughout the entire process, Xyla didn’t take another look at May. Instead, she silently enjoyed the delicious food on the table.When Xyla was in a good mood, everything tasted delicious.Each of the dishes on the table whetted her appetite.Stanley Batton, on the other hand, sat calmly beside Xyla. He looked as if he had blocked out everything and everyone, and all he did was peel shrimps for her slowly and carefully.After peeling each shrimp, he would care

After Jeremy Quest saw all his guests off, he immediately stopped smiling. He returned to the living room with a gloomy expression on his face and sat across from Xyla and the rest.Jeremy glanced coldly at the servants who were cleaning up. “You guys can leave for now. Bring Emily down here on your way out.”The servants immediately left.When May Conner saw this, she immediately got up and sat next to him. She kept shaking Jeremy’s hand. “Honey, Emily knows she’s wrong. Please forgive her,” she said.“Forgive her? How many times have I forgiven her? She still hasn’t changed her ways.” Jeremy’s expression was still gloomy.May subconsciously shivered and continued to speak for Emily. “But at the end of the day, she’s still your daughter. She also has depression…”“She can’t use depression as an excuse all the time when she does something wrong!” Jeremy uttered each word firmly.Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton did not speak throughout this process. Instead, they merely silently ob

However, May Conner forced herself to play it cool as she looked at Xyla Quest. “Xyla… What are you saying? I don’t really get what you’re trying to say.”“Well then, do you understand this?” Xyla said before taking her phone out directly and playing a voice recording from it.In the next second, a young man’s voice could be heard.“Sorry, my thoughts were muddled for a moment. That’s why I accepted May Conner’s suggestion to hide Emily Quest’s actual medical condition from everyone. Emily was never sick…“To be honest, I was indeed tempted by the money in the beginning. Later, I realized my mistake, but it was too late. I had no choice but to continue the chain of mistakes…“Miss Xyla, please let me go…”Right after that, Xyla’s voice could be heard.“I can let you go, but you must give me a careful account of what Emily and May have done…” Xyla said.After that, the young man started speaking again.“Actually, in the beginning, I didn’t know Emily was faking depression when

Faking depression, committing suicide, and then getting out of jail. Emily Quest was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, keeping her fangs hidden in front of everyone while secretly stabbing Xyla Quest in the back. Jeremy Quest’s second daughter indeed was good at deception!Emily and May Conner were both equally dumbfounded.Neither of them thought they would hear such a recording clip from Xyla.They had already designed a seamless plot!They would never have dreamed that Xyla would find out about their plot!Subconsciously, May trembled as she stood up and shielded Emily behind her. “Honey… This isn’t what happened. This recording must have been faked,” May looked at Jeremy and said.“We can find out whether it’s true or not by asking Emily’s primary doctor later. We’ll be able to find out after bringing Emily to another hospital, won’t we?” Xyla added.“Xyla, even if you’re not happy with Emily, you don’t have to do this, right? How could you bribe Emily’s primary doctor and harm us

“I’ve been pretty good to you lately, haven’t I? Why are you doing this to me? Why did you fake that recording and accuse me of drugging you?” May Conner quibbled.May was still looking for a lifeline. That was the only thing she could do right now. “Is that so? Tell me what’s this then.” Xyla Quest pulled out a copy of her blood test result from her silver handbag. She thrust it into May’s hands. The report clearly stated that the mercury level in her body was ten times over the limit!There was a slight tremor in May’s eyes. “Xyla, what’s this?”“You should know better.” Xyla cut to the chase.“Stop it, Xyla! I can’t believe you’ve faked the report to slander my mother!” Emily Quest rebuked furiously. Xyla glared at May coldly. She did not even bother to look at Emily. “Am I slandering you? You know the answer better than anyone else, Auntie.”Jeremy Quest took a deep breath before interrupting their conversation. “May, you better go into jail with your daughter and… Let

Suddenly, Emily Quest was enraged. She pointed at Xyla Quest and bellowed, “Xyla! My mom has pleaded with you, and I’ve also apologized to you. Yet, you don’t want to forgive me. Fine! But how dare you send me to jail! How dare you frame my mom!“You deserve what I did to you. You’ve pissed me off ever since we were kids. I’m sick of the sight of you. You think that I’m picking on you. Oh yeah? Do you dare to swear to god that you’ve never done anything like that to me?“You, and I… We’re the same. Why are you pretending to be a pure little angel? You b*tch!” Emily roared frantically. Her resentment grew inside her like a tumor. “Emily, you’re the one who started this. I never wanted to pick a fight with you. Neither have I made up any unnecessary story to slander both of you. Whether I framed Auntie or not, the police will give you an answer,” Xyla replied coldly.“We keep getting at you because you ask for it!” Emily jabbed, “Besides, aren’t you alive and well after everything w

Suspicion flashed in Xyla Quest’s eyes. “Really?”Jeremy Quest shrugged indifferently. “Yeah. She has gone too far. I’ve had enough.”Following that statement, Jeremy lit another cigarette and took a long drag at it before continuing, “Xyla, is your body okay?”Xyla smiled. “I’m fine. Thank god I discovered her misdeed before it’s too late.”Jeremy’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Oh? How did you find out about it?”Xyla gave him a curt nod. “I’m not sleeping well these days, and I always wake up feeling dizzy. Moreover, I experience feelings of nausea occasionally. I’ve tried taking my pulse, but I don’t feel anything unusual.“I went to the hospital to find Emily’s doctor yesterday afternoon. He wasn’t in the office, so I decided to do a blood test while waiting for him. I was surprised to find out that the mercury level in my body was way over the limit.“That was when I realized that someone was trying to poison me. No doubt, Emily and May were the first who crossed my mi
