Chapter 679


    Bailey Ronson immediately started shivering as she walked over to Tony Sullivan with the divorce


    papers in hand. “I’m really sorry. If I had known Stanley Batton was the heir of Dragon Group, I


    wouldn’t have done something like that even if my life counted on it… Husband, please forgive me.”


    Tony snorted coldly before standing up and walking up the stairs without looking back.


    He was making it clear that there this situation could not be salvaged.


    When Emily came down, she saw this scene unfolding before her.


    Although Bailey had been rather nice to Emily recently, Emily still couldn’t forgive Bailey for the


    things she did and said to her in the past.


    Seeing Bailey being treated so harshly by Tony made Emily feel gleeful.


    However, Emily also felt a little worried.


    If Emily wanted to establish her influence in the Sullivan family, she needed to rely on Bailey. Now,


    the only people Emily could control in the Sullivan family were Bailey and Mary Sullivan.


    However, Mary was quite useless to her. Bailey was the one whom Emily found valuable.


    Emily could only stand her ground with Bailey around.


    She immediately stepped forward and pretended to be very sad as she pulled Bailey into her arms.


    “Mother, don’t be upset. I believe Father will change his mind.”


    Bailey shook her head with a helpless expression on her face. “There’s no chance of that


    happening. You must know… I’ve affected the Sullivan family’s business greatly. One-third of our


    factories have been sold. It’s the equivalent of losing an arm!”


    “Mother, I’ll help you… for sure.” Emily clung to Bailey tightly, trying to make her feel confident.


    “How would you help me? You can’t even help yourself…” Bailey said.


    “Although I can’t help myself, I can help you think of ways to ovee your problem,” Emily said


    before moving close to Bailey’s ear and whispering her idea.


    Emily’s idea was for Bailey to fakemitting suicide so that Tony would feel shocked.


    Bailey hesitated for a moment. In the end, she decided that this was thest resort and nodded.


    “It’s all X’s fault. That b*tch. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Although I


    wanted to ruin her, I failed in the end. Does she still have to be so cruel to me? She’d better not let


    me find the opportunity to have my revenge. Otherwise, she’s going to be in deep trouble,” Bailey


    said through gritted teeth as she clenched her fists tightly.


    “Don’t, Mother. Let’s put an end to this,” Emily said. She was trying to act all pure and innocent.


    “That’s impossible,” Bailey said determinedly.


    When Emily saw how determined Bailey seemed, she felt d.


    “Mother, I haven’t thanked you yet. Thanks for protecting me in front of X…” Emily added.


    “Why do you have to thank me? I was just speaking the truth. You had nothing to do with this from


    the beginning.” Bailey frowned a little.


    Emily smiled without saying anything.

    However, she very quickly acted extremely depressed and lowered her head.


    When Emily thought about her scheme, she truly felt that it was perfect.


    Emily knew early on that X would try to find out if she had anything to do with all this. Hence, she


    contacted Dex Reagen long ago to make sure they were on the same page.


    “But I really didn’t think you’d actually have a recording,” Bailey added.


    “I… I only wanted to protect myself,” Emily said.


    “Hmm. I understand…” Bailey said.


    ***


    The next day at noon, Stanley Batton drove X in his ck Bentley Arnage to the Quest family’s


    house.


    There were many cars in the courtyard today.


    At one nce, X was able to recognize all of them. These cars belonged to May Conner’s


    rtives as well as the Sullivan family members.


    After Stanley parked the car, X immediately held his hand and entered the house with the gift


    they had prepared for Jeremy Quest.


    As soon as they opened the door, they could hear people talking andughing cheerfully.


    It was a very joyous affair.


    X never liked noisy environments. Hence, she found a mix of noises extremely annoying.


    However, she didn’t show it on her face. After she and Stanley changed their shoes, they walked


    into the living room.
