Chapter 439


    “While it’s possible to nurture feelings, you will still suffer in the long run.”


    “If it’s to live a luxurious life, enduring a little suffering is nothing. Mom, it’s the Sullivan family we’re


    talking about. It’s impossible for me to let go of that position that easily.” Emily Quest persisted on.


    “Even if you don’t support me, I’ll still hold on to my view!” Emily said sternly. “Pain and suffering are


    always required in order to gain something.”


    “If you’re that persistent how could I not support you?” Mary Conner sighed, giving in.


    Footsteps from outside the room could be heard at that moment.


    The door opened and Jeremy Quest entered the room.


    Seeing him, Emily put on a depressed facade and forced tears out of her eyes till they became red.


    Jeremy looked at Emily dearly before letting out a long sigh, “I’ve talked to the Sullivan family.


    They’ve agreed to stop talking about the divorce, at least for now…”


    Emily’s eyes lit up immediately. “Really, dad?”


    Jeremy nodded. “They said they’ll postpone it till your depression is cured.”


    “Did they agree to let Emily stay with them after she gets discharged from the hospital?” May asked


    as both she and Emily waited for the answer, filled with anticipation.


    “They did…” Jeremy said as he nodded.


    In order to make the Sullivan family agree, he had to personally visit and convince them. It took


    quite a bit of time and effort but eventually, he won them over.


    If Emily lost the Sullivan family, she would be as good as dead. As a father, he couldn’t just sit back


    and watch that happen.


    A wave of relief washed over both Emily and May after hearing what he said.


    “Alright, I need to go back to the office. May, you stay and take care of Emily.” Jeremy sighed before


    standing up.


    May nodded as she got up as well. She massaged his temple gingerly. “Alright, hubby, take care. I’ll


    cook your favorite dish tonight.”


    “Mhm…” Jeremy answered softly before leaving the room.


    After Jeremy left, Emily could barely hide her joy any longer. She jumped down from the bed and


    hugged May tightly. “Mom...this is great. Not only is the divorce dyed, I can even return to the


    Sullivan house.”


    May nodded.


    “I did not expect dad to try this hard.”


    “You are his daughter. Both of you are connected by blood. Though he is usually strict toward you,


    he can definitely be counted on. He’s not the kind of person who would just watch you die slowly,”


    May said confidently.


    Emily’s smile grew wider, her eyes full of life. She stopped hugging May before confidently saying,


    “Mom, I''ll get everything I’ve ever wanted…”


    “Not only would I gain the Sullivan Family’s power, I would also be able to get X to grovel under


    my feet!” Emily said as she waved her fist in the air.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    “I believe my daughter can do it!” May said confidently. “Don’t worry, your mom will always be by


    your side. Luckes around and goes around. She’s had her turn, now it''s ours! We’ll crush X


    eventually!”


    “Mom, you said Mary Sullivan is also staying in one of the hospital rooms here right?” Emily


    sneered.


    “She is. Do you want to visit her?”


    “Of course.”

    Nearing midnight, Stanley Batton arrived back at the vi. A robotic vacuum cleaner was cleaning


    the floor.


    Georgie Clementine was sitting on the sofa, working on herptop.


    “You’re still here?” Stanley walked forward as he looked at Georgie coldly.
