Chapter 129


    Tom Sullivan immediately ran up to the stage and stood in front of her protectively before he


    grabbed the microphone in a huff.


    “This is all a misunderstanding… I’ll find out the truth. Please don’t mind what happened. Please


    keep this to yourselves on the basis of your rtionship with the Sullivan family,” Tom said before


    bowing deeply at the audience off stage.


    After that, he held the microphone tightly and tried to keep his cool as he looked at the audience.


    “There will be more exciting performancesing up. Let’s shift our attention to the performances,”


    he said before dragging Emily Quest with him off the stage.


    Once the two returned to their seats, Tom felt the urge to kill Emily.


    Soon after, prettydies from the Antis Dancing Group began showcasing their peacock dance.


    ***


    However, the catastrophe had still note to an end. People were still discussing what happened.


    Tom’s parents seemed very annoyed. Although they already hated Emily a lot, the things that had


    happened so far made them hate her even more.


    In fact, Tony started to regret forcing his son to marry Emily just because of their child.


    “Beep, beep, beep.”


    At that moment, everyone’s phone began to ring.


    Soon after, the same news headline appeared on their phone screens.


    “Shocking! The culprit who framed Imperial Prime is actually Emily Quest, the second daughter of


    the Quest family!”


    Emily Quest was now going through aplete breakdown. Her hands trembled uncontrobly. Her


    eyes were red with anger.


    Meanwhile, Tony Sullivan and Bailey Ronson could barely breathe properly from being so upset.


    With her trembling hands, Emily tapped on the news headline. What came into sight was a


    screenshot of her pleading guilty all over the electronic screens of buildings around the city.


    Emily felt as if her mind was about to explode.


    ‘Ahhhh! Does this mean the news has already been leaked?! Has the entire city seen the footage?!


    It’s over!’ Emily thought.

    In front of the lift, X reached out for Jeremy’s hand as she panted.


    “Dad, don’t be upset,” X said as she looked at his cold expression.


    “Was it you, X?” Jeremy asked with a frown.


    “No… You made it clear you did not want the news to get out from how you solved the whole ordeal.


    I wouldn’t have dared to go against your wishes.” X shook her head.


    “Alright. Daddy believes in you,” Jeremy said as he patted the back of X’s hand gently.


    “Would you like me to find out who was behind all this?” X asked.


    “Don’t bother. I don’t want to waste any more effort on that b*stard child. If the Sullivan family wants


    to know who is behind all this, they can do it themselves,” Jeremy said and waved his hands


    helplessly.


    “Darling, why do you believe everything X says?” May Conner asked gloomily.


    “I’m not your husband anymore. Please be careful with your words. I believe X because she is


    trustworthy,” Jeremy said coldly.


    “But what happened today was clearly nned by X. Who else could it be?” May fumed. She


    wished she could tear X apart.


    “Based on Emily’s personality, she could easily make a lot of people hate her. It wouldn’t be strange


    if someone wanted to set this up. Besides, even if X did so, Emily deserved it!” Jeremy raised his


    voice angrily. Veins were clearly visible on his neck.


    X immediately felt touched by what Jeremy said.


    After that, Jeremy quickly entered the lift and closed the doors.


    X was about to step in with him when May tugged at her wrist.


    “X Quest, wait a minute,” Mary said.


    At that moment, the doors of the lift closed.


    “Aunty, what do you want?” X frowned slightly as she looked at May.


    p!


    Without saying anything, May pped X across her face.
