Chapter 78


    “Things seem just fine. Husband, why are you yelling at Emily so angrily?” May Conner walked


    down the stairs before stopping at the final step and resting one hand on the railing while she


    looked at the others.


    Thereafter, May nced at X Quest coldly before hurrying over to Jeremy Quest and leaning


    against the couch’s armrest. “Are you unhappy because many people are requesting a refund for


    their rooms in Imperial Prime, and it’s all because X didn’t fulfill her responsibilities?” May asked.


    However, Jeremy did not say a single word. He kept a solemn expression on his face while he


    stared straight ahead angrily.


    If a person’s gaze could kill, Emily felt as if she would die on the spot.


    When May saw Jeremy’s reaction, she subconsciously reassured herself that he could only be


    angry for the very reason she thought.


    However, even if Jeremy were angry, how could he vent his emotions on May’s daughter? Clearly,


    X was the one who had messed up.


    “X… If you knew you were not capable of handling all this, why did you force yourself to take up


    such huge responsibilities? Your father told you clearly that you needed to deal with the matter on


    your own, but you refused to listen,” May said.


    “Do you think someone new to the industry like you would be capable of handling these things?


    Someone with less than ten years of experience in this market could not possibly get the job done.


    Do you really think of yourself as a superwoman? Also, X, you are a married woman. Why do


    you still live as if you were a singledy? Don’t you have a husband who is also a doctor? Why


    didn’t hee back to help you when you were going through such a difficult time? What kind of


    man did you marry? He’s probably not as good a person as you imed,” May added.


    Right then, May only wanted to make things worse for X. She hoped Jeremy would teach X a


    huge lesson for being an ignorant brat.


    However, X remained silent and did not even bother to look at May when she spoke. Instead,


    X quietly sipped on her juice and pretended as if it was not rted to her at all.


    This made May very upset. “X, why aren’t you saying anything? Hurry up and apologize to your


    father. Being quiet won’t solve anything right now. Whatever was lost won’t be recovered just


    because you keep your mouth shut,” May said.


    May’s words caused Jeremy’s facial expression to turn increasingly gloomy. He was beginning to


    clench his fists tightly.

    Now, Mary was certain that her tactics were working. She started feeling secretly happy.


    Meanwhile, X remained silent while she put her ss down and started ying with her phone.


    When she saw three unread messages popping up on her screen, she directly opened them.


    All three messages were from Tom Sullivan, including the messages he had sent yesterday and


    earlier today. The content involved him asking if she needed help and, if she did ask for his help, he


    would help her out without a doubt.


    ‘He really is a jerk. I’m sure Emily must have told him about me being married, but he is still trying to


    approach me. Unbelievable.’ X could not help but think to herself.


    X decided to ignore Tompletely while she proceeded to delete his messages and block his


    phone number.


    Since May was now here, Emily became much braver.


    “Dad, since X made you angry, you should yell at her. Why did you speak to me like that when I


    was just telling the truth? Did I say anything wrong?” Emily asked.


    Emily was only telling the truth. Why did her father have to overreact? Could he still be on X’s


    side despite what happened?


    Ding-dong… Ding-dong… Right then, the doorbell began ringing.


    Emily immediately smiled when she heard it.


    “I’ll get it.” Emily grabbed her phone and stood up.


    This was because Emily knew it must be Brother Sullivan at the door. In the afternoon, she had


    called him many times, but he hadpletely ignored her. During dinner, she had lied and told him


    that her stomach was not feeling well. Only then did Tom say that he would take her to the doctor’s


    later in the evening. Thereafter, since it was getting veryte, Emily thought he would not being


    after all.
