Chapter 557
“Since you know it’s not easy, you should’ve behaved yourself,” Stanley Batton responded half-
heartedly. He looked ahead, not even bothering to nce at Tom Sullivan.
Right at this moment, Bailey Ronson walked out of the hall.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Bailey immediately closed the door behind her and strode toward
them,ing to a halt beside Tom. Likewise, she tried to beg Stanley for mercy humbly. “Stan,
please forgive me. I know that I was wrong and I’ve learnt from my mistake.”
Pure disgust was all that was on X’s mind as she looked at Bailey.
Thinking about everything she had done at the banquet today and how she used to support Tom
Sullivan to dump her, X could never forgive her.
X’s kidney was right there in her body.
However, all through her life, she took everything for granted and she never appreciated them. Was
there a need to sympathize with such an ungrateful person?
“If an apology helps, why do we need the police on earth?” Without bothering to talk to them,
Stanley hugged X and made his way to the hall.
Despair washed over Bailey. She hugged Tom tightly and helplessly, tears flowing down her cheeks
as she muttered, “Son, we’re done for, aren’t we? Isn’t that X heartless? Although I’m at fault,
why doesn’t she try to help us? She deserves to die!”
“It’s unsurprising that X gets mad at us. After all, what you did just now was… But she really
doesn’t bother to help us at all. That’s so cruel.”
“Cruel? She’s evil, okay? I’m so disgusted at her.” Bailey stomped her foot in rage.
As soon as Bailey finished her sentence, the door of the hall flung open again.
Tony Sullivan darted out of the hall with a gloomy face and headed straight for Bailey. Raising his
hand, he threw his hand forward as hard as he could, swinging it across her face.
He pped her with all his might.
Very soon, Bailey’s right cheek became swollen. There was blood at the corner of her lips.
She was looked on nkly, stunned. Tears started to flow down her cheeks like a river escaping a
dam.
She stared at Tony with her watery eyes as her hand slowly made it to her fire-red cheek. “Honey,
I’m sorry. I was wrong. I made a terrible mistake… Ahhh…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Tony’s hand cracked across her face once more.

The p was as loud as a p, causing her head to reel sickeningly as a buzzing sound started to
ring in her ear.
“If this matter is not resolved, we’ll divorce!”
With that out of the way, Tony directly walked into the elevator without looking back at the two of
them.
Bailey sank to the floor in shock while clutching her face with both of her hands, looking
exceptionally miserable.
Tom was heartbroken as he looked at his dejected mother. Immediately, he knelt and pulled her into
his arms. “Please don’t cry, Mom. I’ll find a way to sort it out.”
“Tom, did you hear that? Your father wants to divorce me!”
“I’m not going to let that happen.”
“But… we can’t survive this crisis!” Bailey’s arms wrapped tightly around Tom’s body. She choked,
thinking about that.
“Alright, alright. I understand you’re worried, but there are too many people here. It’s going to
worsen the situation if anyone sees us like this. I’ll go in to get Julian, and we’ll go home first, okay?
We’ll think about how to solve the problem after that.” As Tom spoke, he patted Bailey’s back gently
several times.
Bailey nodded slowly before climbing up from the floor, all the time trembling. Tears continued to roll
down her cheeks as fear welled up in her eyes.
Stanley soon entered the hall and bade a brief farewell to Jeremy Quest before pushing Julian
Sullivan, who was in a wheelchair, straight to the hall’s exit.
When Emily Quest noticed that the Sullivan family was leaving, she quickly followed after them.
Tom drove all of them back to their house.
When they entered the house, no one was in the living room except for Tony.
There was a long riding crop ced on the coffee table in front of him.
