Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 409

“Honey, Emily likes race cars the most. If you’re buying one for Xyla, could you also buy one for Emily? Perhaps she might feel better if she saw the car. What do you think?” May Conner asked.

“Okay…” Jeremy Quest nodded decisively.

May then smiled satisfactorily before resting her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and hugging him tightly around the waist.

***

As soon as Emily Quest arrived by the entrance, she could see Tom Sullivan’s Bentley parked right in front.

The two cherry blossom trees in front of the entrance were in full bloom. There were light pink petals all over them.

When a gust of wind blew past the trees, the petals took off to the air like snowflakes. Eventually, the petals landed on the ground, and some also landed on the roof of Tom’s car.

Emily tried her best to appear depressed while she quickly got into the car from the passenger side before closing the door.

Tom glared at her coldly before forcefully tossing the divorce papers onto her hand. “Hurry up and sign it. Don’t waste my time.”

When Emily saw the words ‘divorce agreement’, she instantly lost all hope.

After that, she began to feel angry from the bottom of her heart.

He was lying after all! He intentionally lied to her about not bringing the divorce up because he was afraid that she wouldn’t come out.

Clearly, Emily was diagnosed with depression. But did Tom even care? Obviously, he didn’t because he repeatedly brought up the matter of getting a divorce.

Wasn’t he worried that her depression would worsen? Did this man even have a conscience?

Even if he did not, Emily still could not give up on him. This was what troubled her the most.

Emily loved Tom. She loved him as a person, and she loved his identity.

His words were like a knife being stabbed into Emily’s chest over and over. She was close to having a meltdown…!

“Tom Sullivan! Must you do this? I refuse to get a divorce. Bring this to court if you have what it takes! I don’t want a divorce!”

Wham…! Right after she finished screaming, Tom slapped her across the face.

He had hit her so hard that her tears were sent flying.

Although Tom slapped her on the face, Emily felt as if her heart was aching instead.

She covered her face that now felt like it was burning. “You… How dare you slap me…?” Emily looked into his bloodshot eyes.

“That’s because you deserve it! Emily Quest, you are truly a b*tch! A b*tch like you deserve to be slapped!” Tom yelled cruelly. He no longer looked like the gentleman he once was.

“You are so despicable. How could I have fallen for you before?” Tom added.
