Chapter 35


    When X Quest first paid for the news article to be on the list of most popr topics on the


    inte, 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 X.


    Who was this person? Could it be one of the Sullivan family’spetitors? Regardless of who did it,


    X 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 humannguage? 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? X Quest is the only person… X must be behind this!


    She was the one who paid for the story to be on the list of most popr topics on the inte in the


    first ce,” Emily said before clenching her fists.


    “What proof do you have that X 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 inte for someone as famous as you?


    “Also, my offer of thirty million dors had been refused today. They even told me that they wouldn’t


    take it down regardless of how much I paid. Do you think X is capable of that?


    “Can you stop being so cunning and stop ming everything on X? 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 X. In fact,


    Tom even dissed the woman who would soon be his wife for X, an outsider.


    The way Tom called X by her name in such an affectionate way made Emily feel disgusted.


    Although Emily was upset, she had to keep it to herself. To be 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


    exined.


    “I’m asking you onest time. Who have you messed with recently?” Tom sounded even more


    impatient. He refused to listen to her exnations.


    “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.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Her phone immediately broke into pieces.


    Who else could it be if not X? Who was the person behind her misery?


    Moreover, why couldn’t Tom be nicer to Emily now that she was pregnant? Ever since X


    returned, everything had changed! It had all changed!


    Why must X 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 X were dead!


    May quickly walked over to Emily. “What happened?”


    “I don’t know! Stop asking!” Emily Quest yelled.


    X 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 X returned to her room, a thought suddenly urred to her. She immediately ran over to


    her bed and picked up her phone.
