Chapter 82
After a second, Emily Quest took a deep breath and tried to suppress her fear while she looked at Xyla Quest.
“Did you arrange everything to happen this way? You made that woman and that man say those things to put the blame on me. I have no idea what they were talking about! Xyla Quest, what have I done to deserve this? Have you decided to be heartless just to fight over the family inheritance? Dad, Mom, and Brother Sullivan, you must not believe what Xyla said. She set all this up to put the blame on me intentionally,” Emily said. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
At this crucial moment, Emily had to deny everything to possibly stay alive. If she admitted to all the accusations, her father would beat her into a pulp!
“That’s right. Husband, you can’t only listen to one side of the story. A lot of things need to be verified gradually,” May Conner added before walking over to Jeremy nervously. She leaned against the armrest while holding on to his arm tightly.
Since the beginning, Xyla had not uttered a single word. Instead, she looked calmly at how the duo was shamelessly defending themselves.
Although Xyla was fuming on the inside, she kept calmed and composed on the outside.
With solid proof, and her father being present, Xyla did not feel the need to say or do anything else.
Finally, Jeremy could no longer suppress his anger. He mercilessly pushed May Conner away before he stood up and pointed at the two women.
“You are both b*tches. Even with solid proof, you are still trying to talk your way out of it and shifting the blame! Are you two tired of living? Emily Quest, you piece of trash. In order to mess with Xyla, you are willing to sacrifice the company. How did I end up raising someone like you?! And you, May
Conner! From how you reacted, it is clear to me that you knew everything. Otherwise, why were you so surprised by the surveillance footage? How dare you cooperate with Emily, you b*tch? I want a divorce!” Jeremy yelled.
Although Jeremy knew how Emily and May had terrible personalities, he never thought they were capable of doing such a thing.
How could the person who slept next to him, and the daughter he worked so hard to bring up, do this to him?
May and Emily were both in a state of disbelief after hearing what Jeremy had said. Their bodies were trembling severely.
“Dad, you can’t do this to Mom! Things haven’t been verified yet. How could you arrive at a conclusion based on what these two people said? I’m innocent, and so is Mom!” Emily’s tears were running down her cheeks while her body trembled uncontrollably.
Emily felt as if she had gone from cloud nine to the depths of hell. It was so dark around her that she could not see a thing.
Things were not supposed to turn out this way. Xyla should have been the one suffering like this!
While tears rolled down May’s cheeks, she held onto the couch’s armrest with trembling hands and crawled her way up.
“Husband, I’ve been with you for so many years. I gave you a daughter and took care of things at home. Even if I have not achieved a lot, I deserve to be recognized by my hard work. Even if Emily and I were not innocent, you cannot do this to us. I swear to God that I didn’t do such a thing with Emily.” May was crying her heart out by the time she finished her sentence.
May could feel that Jeremy was serious about what he said. If she did not sort this mess out, he really would divorce her. How could May give up the good life of being Jeremy Quest’s wife?
After May got married to Jeremy, her side of the family had always been envious of her. They were jealous of the life she had. If she really did fall, those people would all laugh at her.
May did not want to become a joke. It absolutely could not happen!
