“Oh, right. Ever since Tom Sullivan married Emily, he’s been so unlucky. Bad things keep happening to him. He’s way past his prime now too…”
“Not long ago, I saw the wife of Sullivan Group’s president. She never once batted an eyelid when buying purses that cost several million dollars in the past. But now, she’s only browsing but not buying these purses.”
“It must be because of virtual-novel.net family’s deteriorating financial status… Haha… ”
The group of ladies continued their discussion.
Bailey Ronson was holding Tom by his arm when virtual-novel.net walked nearby these women, and virtual-novel.net happened to overhear their conversation. Both the expressions of the mother and son instantly turned cold.
The things these people said made them feel extremely humiliated, especially Tom, who now wished virtual-novel.net could kick Emily to the curb.
When virtual-novel.net looked up, virtual-novel.net saw Xyla crouching down like a child, with virtual-novel.net hands placed on virtual-novel.net face. She was looking at the sculpture of a rooster.
Her long hair dangled past virtual-novel.net neck. Although virtual-novel.net didn’t have any makeup on, virtual-novel.net lips looked beautiful and virtual-novel.net skin fair. Her eyes seemed bright and virtual-novel.net teeth shiny. The long, white chiffon dress virtual-novel.net wore made virtual-novel.net appear almost like a fairy.
Xyla seemed to be surrounded by light. Wherever virtual-novel.net went, the light would follow her. Even if virtual-novel.net wasn’t doing anything, virtual-novel.net could still easily take his breath away.
After the two of them broke up, Xyla’s life seemed to be getting better and better. With virtual-novel.net hard work, virtual-novel.net had managed to carve virtual-novel.net path to success. In fact, virtual-novel.net seemed to have become even more elegant and charismatic.
The feeling of remorse crept upon Tom once again. If virtual-novel.net could, virtual-novel.net would go back in time to kill himself for mistreating Xyla as virtual-novel.net did.
If only virtual-novel.net had been more patient, virtual-novel.net would have been able to wait until Xyla went through virtual-novel.net perfect transformation. He wouldn’t have ended up being stuck with the idiot virtual-novel.net was with now, Emily. More importantly, that idiot wouldn’t stick to virtual-novel.net like glue and continue to make his life worse.
Xyla saw Tom from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Slowly, virtual-novel.net turned to look at him. Although their eyes met, they lasted for only a second. Xyla looked away coldly right after that.
She didn’t feel a single thing. However, Tom’s heart was beating wildly out of control.
When Bailey saw Xyla nearby, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth hatefully. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to do anything publicly to Xyla.
Their family had already been poorly tortured enough by Stanley last time. Meanwhile, Bailey nearly ended up getting divorced at a mature age because of Stanley.
If it weren’t for virtual-novel.net crying and threatening to commit suicide to get Tony’s sympathy, as well as getting help from virtual-novel.net two sons to convince Tony not to divorce her, virtual-novel.net would have been kicked out of the Sullivan family long ago.
Although Tony wasn’t bringing up divorce anymore, the couple’s relationship was going through a very cold phase. Bailey couldn’t afford to make another mistake. If virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would be kicked out of the family for good.
“Control yourself! Why are you looking at her?” Bailey immediately said in a cold tone when virtual-novel.net saw the look in Tom’s eyes.
After that, Bailey directly turned around and looked at a sculpture of a monkey behind her.
Tom looked deeply at Xyla once more before walking over to Bailey.
Right then, Emily walked through the door.
Stories between Xyla and Emily had always been an entertaining topic among the affluent circle of people.
When Emily appeared in the same place as Xyla, everyone immediately turned to look at virtual-novel.net and Xyla.
At this moment, Xyla still wasn’t aware that Emily was here. She was looking at an art sculpture with Ron. However, Emily immediately noticed Xyla when virtual-novel.net entered the place.
Xyla’s smile and the light around virtual-novel.net made Emily feel disgusted.
After looking at Xyla coldly, Emily acted very depressedly as virtual-novel.net walked over to Tom and Bailey.
“Why are you here?” Tom asked coldly when virtual-novel.net saw that Emily was here.
