Xyla Quest didn’t know about any of this at all, and she couldn’t possibly have done it…
Who did it?
“When did this happen?” Xyla asked.
When Emily Quest heard this, she instantly sneered. “You really can act. Didn’t you do this as an act of revenge because I used your blueprint design? The timing of what happened to me was too much of a coincidence… Even if I can’t find proof, I know it’s you. Stop trying to wash your hands clean,” Emily said.
Emily’s words revealed to Xyla another piece of information.
This meant that the incident happened after Xyla competed with Emily in the ocean theme park blueprint design competition.
Who did it then?
It couldn’t have been Stanley Batton.
If it were, he would have told Xyla.
However, if it wasn’t Stanley, who could it be?
And why did Tom Sullivan actually remain quiet after finding out about all of that? Why didn’t he cause a scene?
Tom already hated Emily. He didn’t have any reason not to use it against her.
Also, Emily was already sent to jail now. Yet, Tom still behaved very abnormally. In the past, he would have requested to get a divorce right away.
However, this time, Xyla didn’t hear anything about them getting a divorce.
If someone had told Xyla that their relationship improved and that Tom loved her, she might not feel suspicious.
However, the two of them were clearly estranged from each other.
Hence, there was only one possibility. Emily must possess something she could blackmail Tom with.
“Did you think you could ruin our relationship with those little tricks of yours? It’s impossible. Our relationship is far stronger than you think.
Xyla took out a pair of limited-edition, black Gucci sunglasses from her purse and put them on. She then got directly into her red Maserati and drove away.
Throughout the journey, she kept thinking about the things Emily had said to her.
There were still too many questions on her mind.
However, Xyla couldn’t deduce any answers within a short time.
If Stanley Batton didn’t do those things, who did?
Also, what did Emily know about Tom Sullivan that kept him under her control?
At first, Xyla was prepared to send all the recent proof of Emily hiring gigolos, sleeping with men from online dating applications, and cheating on Tom every day to Tom himself.
Xyla wanted Tom to have a taste of how it felt like to be cheated on over a long time without any idea of it happening.
However, she didn’t expect someone would beat her to it.
