Jullian remained silent the whole time. He was acting like an outsider.
“Look at all the things virtual-novel.net has done. They’re enough to put virtual-novel.net in jail for eight or even ten years. You’d better stay away from her,” Bailey admonished him.
Though virtual-novel.net was grateful for what Emily had done for virtual-novel.net in the past, virtual-novel.net could not bear to side with virtual-novel.net anymore.
Emily had gone too far this time. There was no way virtual-novel.net could save virtual-novel.net from the disaster. She could not help Emily and certainly did not want to. She finally realized that Emily was a hopeless case.
A second felt like an eternity when Tom was drowned in his deep thoughts.
At last, to everyone’s surprise, virtual-novel.net shook his head. “No… I can’t…”
“Are you out of your mind?!” Tony snapped.
“I’m not… I… I just don’t want to get a divorce,” Tom stuttered.
Upon hearing that, Jullian instantly fixed his gaze upon Tom, dumbfounded. The calmness in his eyes was gradually replaced by suspicion.
“Get out of the house if you don’t get a divorce!” Tom bellowed.
“Calm down, dear. Tom must have his reasons. We should listen to him,” Bailey immediately clutched Tony’s hands, eager to protect virtual-novel.net son.
“Fine! Spit it out! What’s your reason?” Flinging Bailey’s hands away in disgust, Tony turned to glare at Tom and questioned him.
“I just don’t want to get a divorce…”
With that, Tom got up from the sofa and headed straight to the door.
Emily would definitely expose his secret once virtual-novel.net divorced her. If the scandal of virtual-novel.net doing drugs was revealed to the public, the consequences were unimaginable!
Rage gripped Tony. He grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and threw it at Tom mercilessly.
Tom, who was unaware of it, did not dodge.
The teacup hit right squarely in his back with a loud smash.
Indescribable pain ran down his spine. However, virtual-novel.net did not make a sound. Lowering his head, virtual-novel.net darted out of the house and got into his black Porsche Cayenne right away.
He started the car and floored the pedal, whizzing past the gate in exasperation.
Tom sped down the streets and came to the beach.
He did not get out of the car. He parked his car by the road and gazed at the waveless sea not far away from him.
There was no one around him. Dreadfully and without warning, his vulnerability and wrath began to creep up from the pit of his stomach and flooded his heart.
Tom felt tightly constrained by this bitter experience. He wanted to divorce Emily so badly, but virtual-novel.net could not. She had the goods on him.
He could not risk going against Emily before virtual-novel.net got everything virtual-novel.net wanted from his father. No matter how much virtual-novel.net hated her, the only thing virtual-novel.net could do was swallow down his frustration.
His life was hopelessly muddled. He was destined to be plagued by that insane woman. Tom felt like virtual-novel.net was going crazy. He had messed up his life with his bare hands.
Tom clenched his fists and slammed it at the car door irritatedly.
Sadly, harming himself physically could never ease the angst within him.
Lifting his head, Tom looked out of the car window once more. Warm, vivid memories started replaying before him.
Before Xyla turned into a fat woman, virtual-novel.net once brought virtual-novel.net and his best friends to the beach in the late night for barbeque. The two of them were so in love that time. His brothers were all so jealous of him.
The stars were bright that night, but virtual-novel.net was more dazzling than all of them.
Tom tried to recall the last time virtual-novel.net laughed carelessly. He was surprised to find Xyla’s lovely smiles from the memories of his good old days. He was truly happy when virtual-novel.net was with her.
Remorse bit his heart as virtual-novel.net thought of Xyla.
