Chapter 252


    “X, although Mary went a little too far, don’t you think sending her to prison is too harsh?” asked


    Tony.


    X snorted coldly. “Do you really think it’s too harsh?”


    “I think it is. All Mary did was get a few people riled up to yell at you. There wasn’t any actual


    damage done.”


    X could not believe that Tony had just said that. What did he mean there was no actual damage


    done? Weren’t being verbally attacked and framed with ill intentions considered a form of damage?


    “You weren’t emotionally hurt. Therefore, you wouldn’t understand how painful it is,” said X with a


    bitter smile.


    “Okay, okay. X, I understand. However, things have already happened. I’ll apologize on her


    behalf. Please do me a favor and let her go, will you?”


    Tony sounded very sincere, but X knew that his sincerity waspletely fake. She knew the


    Sullivan family better than anyone else. The only reason he sounded sincere was because he felt


    truly afraid that his daughter would be sent to prison.


    “I’m sorry. I can’t do that. Uncle Sullivan, if there’s nothing else I can do for you, I’m hanging up,”


    said X before directly ending the phone conversation.


    Immediately after she did so, Tony called her on the phone again. When X saw the iing call,


    she pressed the button to reject the call before starting her car and driving off.


    She was well aware that rejecting Tony could result in what Mary warned her about. Tony might very


    well withdraw his investment from the project he and the Quest family were working together on.


    The project in question was a property development in a high-end tourist area. It was a


    coboration between the Quest family and the Sullivan family. In total, twenty billion dors had


    been invested—twelve billion dors from the Quest family and eight billion dors from the Sullivan


    family.


    This was a coboration both families had agreed on before the Dragon Group withdrew their


    investment from the Sullivan family.


    If the Sullivan family suddenly withdrew the eight billion dors they invested, the project would


    certainlye to a temporary halt. Although the Quest family was wealthy, eight billion dors was


    not an amount they could fork up within a short amount of time.


    Meanwhile, it would be no easy feat to look for new investors. After all, eight billion dors was a


    huge amount of money.


    However, X was not afraid at all, because she had a lot of money. Although money could not


    solve all the problems in the world, it was enough to give someone the courage to do what they


    wanted to.

    At the same time, in the Dragon Group CEO’s office, Zack Cassidy looked respectfully at a man


    who was reading through documents.


    “Fifth Master, the young madam has sorted out the problem on her own. Now, everyone is criticizing


    Mary Sullivan on the inte,” said Zack with a serious look on his face.

    The man he was talking to was dressed in a ck shirt and a pair of matching ck formal pants.


    With his sleeves rolled up slightly, there was a casual element to his outfit. His distinctive facial


    features seemed extraordinarily attractive under the bright sun. Although the sunlight was warm, it


    could not melt away the coldness about him. He was like a king in his own league.


    Slowly, Stanley Batton looked up. After closing the spotless ck folder in his hand, he smiled


    approvingly and picked up his phone.


    “Fifth Master, I suggest that you don’t go onto Weibo now,” said Zack nervously.


    Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he examined Zack’s face carefully.


    Feeling Stanley’s gaze on him, Zack continued, “Some of the content might make you feel


    ufortable.


    Hearing this, Stanley became even more curious. Without asking Zack what he meant, he


    immediately opened Weibo.
