SWNOVELS Chapter 35
When Xyla Quest first paid for the news article to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet, she only paid for a single
day’s worth of exposure. Logically speaking, the other party did not have to refuse Tom Sullivan’s offer.
Now that something like this had happened, someone else was clearly pulling a prank on Emily Quest apart from Xyla.
Who was this person? Could it be one of the Sullivan family’s competitors? Regardless of who did it, Xyla found this entire ordeal
to be impressive.
As soon as May Conner heard what Emily Quest said, she immediately pressed her ear against Emily’s phone. Emily pushed
May away, annoyedly, before walking over to the French window.
“Can’t you understand the human language? I was just about to call you and ask you about who you messed with.” Tom Sullivan
sounded very angry.
“Who else could I have messed with? Xyla Quest is the only person... Xyla must be behind this! She was the one who paid for
the story to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet in the first place,” Emily said before clenching her fists.
“What proof do you have that Xyla did it? You were the one who was dragged into the police station under broad daylight.
Wouldn’t it be normal for someone to have filmed you and shared the video on the internet for someone as famous as you?”
“Also, my offer of thirty million dollars had been refused today. They even told me that they wouldn’t take it down regardless of
how much I paid. Do you think Xyla is capable of that?”
“Can you stop being so cunning and stop blaming everything on Xyla? You really disgust me.”
Tom Sullivan sounded increasingly annoyed. In fact, it sounded as if he hated Emily.
To Emily, these words pierced through her heart like jabs from a knife. The feeling of jealousy surfaced once again.
What kind of man would defend an outsider? Emily was annoyed that Tom stood by Xyla. In fact, Tom even dissed the woman
who would soon become his wife for Xyla, an outsider.
The way Tom called Xyla by her name in such an affectionate way made Emily feel disgusted.
Although Emily was upset, she had to keep it to herself. To become Tom’s wife, she needed to be as patient as possible for the
time being.
“I just thought that the timing was too coincidental. I don’t mean anything else. I...,” Emily hurriedly explained.
“I’m asking you one last time. Who have you messed with recently?” Tom sounded even more impatient. He refused to listen to
her explanations.
“Nobody else. It’s true,” Emily said once again.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
It was the sound of the call being terminated.
When Emily called Tom, she received a recorded message informing her that the recipient was too busy to pick up her call.
“Arghh!!!” Emily fumed as she stomped her foot and tossed her phone onto the ground. Her phone immediately broke into
pieces.
Who else could it be if not Xyla? Who was the person behind her misery?
Moreover, why couldn’t Tom be nicer to Emily now that she was pregnant? Ever since Xyla returned, everything had changed!
It had all changed!
Why must Xyla be so lucky today? Why was she able to escape death when she was already so close to dying?
Things would have been much better if Xyla were dead!
May quickly walked over to Emily. “What happened?”
“I don’t know! Stop asking!” Emily Quest yelled.
Xyla could not resist chuckling by the kitchen door when she saw Emily breaking down. After that, she joyfully carried her food
and limped her way upstairs.
Once Xyla returned to her room, a thought suddenly occurred to her. She immediately ran over to her bed and picked up her
phone
