“Ahhh!!!” Mary Sullivan was hysterical while virtual-novel.net stepped on the accelerator forcefully and sped forward. Her hatred against Xyla grew even more. Mary wished virtual-novel.net could skin Xyla alive and drink virtual-novel.net blood.
Beep, beep, beep…
Mary’s phone began to ring after virtual-novel.net had driven not too far away. When virtual-novel.net saw it was a call from virtual-novel.net father, virtual-novel.net heart instantly started beating wildly. Her hands on the steering wheel began to tremble wildly too.
After taking a deep breath, virtual-novel.net stopped virtual-novel.net car by the road and frightfully answered the call.
“Mary Sullivan!!! Is it so hard for you to not embarrass me for a single day? How did I end up raising a child like you? Where are you? Get your ass back here right now!” Tony Sullivan shouted angrily.
Mary immediately shuddered.
“Didn’t you say you bought that necklace for fifty million dollars? Didn’t you say it was the original? If it’s a counterfeit, surely it would not have cost so much, right? Tell me. What did you do with the rest of the money?”
“You’ve got a lot of nerve to cheat money from your family! Get your ass back here in an hour. Otherwise, don’t ever come back!” Tony shouted angrily once more.
Completely terrified, Mary shuddered again before quickly hanging up. After putting virtual-novel.net phone in virtual-novel.net handbag, virtual-novel.net pressed virtual-novel.net trembling hands together.
What should virtual-novel.net do?
Right then, virtual-novel.net felt like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Meanwhile, Xyla had prepared a bubble bath for herself. She leisurely sprinkled a layer of red rose petals over the white foamy surface before stepping into the bath. Slowly, virtual-novel.net applied a golden mask over virtual-novel.net face and picked up virtual-novel.net phone to have a look at Mary Sullivan’s latest news on Instagram.
When Xyla saw how those marketing accounts scrambled to expose Mary wearing a counterfeit, virtual-novel.net subconsciously smiled in a beautiful way.
Her gaze continued to shift down while various hateful comments against Mary came into sight. The stream of never-ending texts made left Xyla in a very good mood.
Beep, beep, beep…
Right then, Xyla received a call from Diana. Xyla pressed the button to answer right away. After that, virtual-novel.net put the call on loudspeaker and placed it by virtual-novel.net side. She then leaned back into the bathtub lazily with virtual-novel.net hands gently holding onto the edges. Her body sank ever so slightly into the tub with only virtual-novel.net head and neck still above water.
“I did just as you asked. Satisfied?” Diana asked in less than fluent English.
“Yeah… Thank you,” Xyla said softly.
“You’re welcome… It’s something I should do.”
“Well then, I shall not distract you from work.. I’m taking a bath now,” Xyla added.
“Okay. Rest well. Goodnight,” Diana said.
After that, Diana hung up the phone.
White snowy mist continuously rose above the bubbles, and the scent of roses wafted through the room. The light, fragrant scent put Xyla at ease.

Mary had just walked into the living room when a teacup was sent flying toward virtual-novel.net head.
She quickly tried to dodge it with virtual-novel.net eyes wide in shock, but virtual-novel.net didn’t manage to avoid it in time.
The teacup hit virtual-novel.net on the left side of virtual-novel.net face, the area that was already swollen from being slapped earlier. Now, it felt even more painful. Her skin and flesh became even more swollen, and a shade of purple now spread across virtual-novel.net cheek.
