Chapter 84
“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 kneeled in front of Jeremy with her palms pressed together as she rubbed them back and forth. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“We have slept next to each other for many years. Besides, Emily is your biological daughter, and she is also pregnant. Can’t you have mercy on her?” May asked.
“Everybody has to pay for what they did! Even if she is a pregnant lady, and even if you have slept next to me for years! I will prepare the divorce agreement! When the time comes, don’t forget to sign on it.” Jeremy was so angry that he could no longer think straight.
More importantly, he did not want to consider anything further. He just wanted to make sure these women were punished for their terrible behavior.
While everyone yelled at each other loudly, and nearly all faces had turned red, Xyla Quest was the only one who sat silently nearby with a calm expression on her face.
When Xyla saw how the two women were tortured, she felt incredibly happy.
Since the beginning, Tom Sullivan had never said anything to defend them. Instead, he sat silently and stared at Emily’s face with an angry expression on his face.
When Emily saw the look in Tom’s eyes, she felt thoroughly hopeless because it seemed as if he was looking at his most hated enemy. There was no longer any sign of affection.
Long ago, he clearly said that he would stand with her even if he had to betray the entire world. What about now?
Were promises men made this cheap? He had changed! It was all because of that b*tch, Xyla Quest!
If Xyla had not returned, Emily would still be living the life of a happy princess! She would still be adored by Tom and everyone else who admired her.
What should Emily do now? Should she admit what she had done? If she did not admit it, she would suffer greatly. Emily recalled the terrible experience she had gone through when she was last sent to prison.
Moreover, she was getting married soon. What if this whole ordeal affected her wedding date? What if she ended up not being able to become part of the Sullivan family?
No way. She could not go to jail!
Ding-dong… Ding-dong… The doorbell began to ring. During this nerve-wrecking and tense moment, the ringing sounded unusually ear-piercing.
Xyla stood up without saying a word while she walked to the door.
There were six policemen standing outside. Xyla immediately nodded at them before extending a hand inward.
“Please come in,” Xyla said.
Thereafter, Xyla quietly led the policemen into the house.
When Emily saw the policemen, she immediately got onto her knees and pressed her palms together. “Fine, I’ll admit that I did it. Please don’t turn me in. Please?” She asked softly while she looked up at Jeremy.
Emily did not want to return to prison.
