As Emily Quest shivered from head to toe, she could already picture how things would turn out.
“You… What are you saying?” Emily pretended to sound weak as she lay flat on the ground. Her gaze was darting from left to right.
The people who were yelling at Xyla Quest a moment ago now kept their mouths shut. They all looked at the bloody bag in Xyla’s hand with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Without even asking, they all had an answer to the question in their minds.
“Xyla Quest, what are you doing? Your little sister is covered in blood. Shouldn’t we get her to the hospital immediately? What are you holding in your hand?” May Conner shouted as her pupils dilated and darted around frantically.
“What am I holding? It’s the planted evidence Emily wanted to frame me with for her miscarriage, of course,” Xyla said coldly before tossing the bloody bag at Tom Sullivan.
“From the looks on your faces, I’m sure you all know the answer. That’s right. It is exactly what you think it is,” Xyla said as she looked at everyone around her.
Meanwhile, Tom ignored Xyla as he got up painfully. When he turned to look at Emily coldly, his eyes were red with anger.
“Everyone, have a look. What’s this?” Xyla asked as she let go of Emily and took her phone out. She then searched for a video clip before showing it to the others and tapping on her phone’s ‘Play’ button.
Very soon, everything that had happened upstairs earlier started replaying on the phone screen, almost like a movie scene.
Emily’s voice, her behavior, and everything that happened earlier were now exposed to the public.
Suddenly, people around her began talking among themselves as they turned to look at her.
“This is ridiculous! All kinds of people exist in this world. If I were Xyla, I’d probably have killed Emily for the things she said,” someone exclaimed.
“Was she pretending to be pregnant the whole time? Did she trick her husband into getting married? I feel terrible for the Sullivan family’s bad luck,” someone added.
With Tom leaving, Emily felt as if the world had abandoned her.
Emily’s feelings of hatred and jealousy toward Xyla caused her to grind her teeth angrily. She wished she could kill Xyla right there and then!
“If you really are pregnant, you would have lost the baby when you rolled down the stairs just now, unless your baby is made of steel,” Xyla snorted coldly.
After finishing her sentence, Xyla turned to look at the private doctor, Flint Coleman, whom Jeremy Quest had just called over.
“Doctor Coleman, from what I know, you are greatly skilled in Chinese medicinal treatment. I would like to trouble you to check on my little sister’s pulse. To avoid any suspicion, my husband should not get involved,” Xyla said calmly but confidently.
When Emily heard Xyla’s words, her hands began to tremble in fear as she pushed them against the ground.
