Xyla’s depressed face was virtual-novel.net favorite view.
Why should Xyla be happy when virtual-novel.net was not?
On top of that, virtual-novel.net would be at an advantage if Xyla and Stanley remained locked in a stalemate because it meant that nobody was going to stop virtual-novel.net from crushing Xyla anymore.
They were sisters.
Sisters were supposed to stick to each other through thick and thin. Since virtual-novel.net was now plunging into an abyss of despair, naturally, virtual-novel.net had to drag Xyla down with her.
Imagine suffering alone in the abyss Without Xyla’s company.
How lonely must it be!
Xyla totally did not notice that Emily was staring at her.
She kept virtual-novel.net head down and replayed the recording over and over again. Every single word pierced through virtual-novel.net heart like a spear, rendering virtual-novel.net in torment.
She sank deeper into virtual-novel.net misery as virtual-novel.net listened to the conversation for the ninth time. The truth was cruel, and the pain was almost unbearable.
Xyla’s knees went weak. She felt that virtual-novel.net whole body was losing strength all of a sudden.
Taking a deep breath, virtual-novel.net clutched virtual-novel.net phone and stalked out of the hall.
The bodyguards standing outside the main entrance immediately ran after virtual-novel.net when they caught sight of her.
Looking at Xyla’s receding figure, Emily could not help but burst out laughing. Her left palm over virtual-novel.net mouth.
Xyla was hurt. She was really hurt.
Everything would go as Emily thought next. Excitement overtook virtual-novel.net whenever virtual-novel.net thought about that.
Well, well… Thank God all the money I spent on the fake recording is not wasted.
It’s such a brilliant idea, isn’t it?
I can make up a little story while revealing the truth to her…
Emily muttered to herself again.
At this time, Ron came out of the washroom.
Noticing his presence, Emily immediately regained virtual-novel.net usual melancholic look and approached a sculpture before her, pretending to admire it.
Ron headed straight to the lobby to look for Xyla. However, virtual-novel.net could not find her.
Ron immediately pulled out his phone and called Xyla.
Meanwhile, in the red Maserati, Xyla stared at Ron’s name on virtual-novel.net phone screen for some time before taking a deep breath and answering the call.
“Xyla, where are you?”
“I have something to do. I have to leave first… Sorry…”
She then hung up the phone without waiting for Ron’s reply.
After discovering the harsh truth, there was no way virtual-novel.net could face Ron as if nothing happened.
Once virtual-novel.net thought of the things Ron told Stanley, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that shielded virtual-novel.net heart away from the world.
The red roses on both sides of the road were in full bloom.
Xyla could faintly smell the rosy fragrance even with the car windows closed.
She finally understood that the man turned the entire city into a sea of roses was not because of love. He was just after virtual-novel.net blood.
He would not even look at virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net was not needed, would he?
Pfft!
