“Tom Sullivan, you really are cruel!” Emily Quest yelled through gritted teeth.
“Yeah, I am very cruel. Why don’t you get a divorce? Why don’t you get rid of me? Just take the money I’m offering and get lost. What are you thinking? You really are a lowly b*tch!” Tom Sullivan raised his voice and stared at her face like he was staring at his enemy.
Tom absolutely hated this woman. He was determined to get a divorce.
His words hit Emily like a truck. She was now bawling her eyes out.
Emily felt as if Tom had just torn her heart apart.
“Tom Sullivan, this is too much,” Emily said while she clutched the divorce agreement tightly. The white sheets were now all crumpled.
“If you don’t want me to do this, sign the papers,” Tom said. He had been trying to negotiate with her for so long in the nicest way possible, but she repeatedly rejected him. How else could he achieve his objective if he didn’t use drastic measures?
“I have depression… Severe depression. Are you trying to get me killed?” Emily asked.
“It’s just a crappy case of depression. What’s the big deal? Besides, I’m already getting a divorce with you anyway. Why would I care if you died? Even if you die, that’s what you deserve,” Tom snorted coldly.
“You’re heartless…” Emily said each word loudly and clearly.
“I’ve always been heartless, haven’t I? When I betrayed Xyla for you, you should’ve known how heartless I was. Since you have the guts to seduce a heartless man like me, you should bear all the negative consequences,” Tom uttered coldly. His gaze felt like a sharp blade that could slice through her heart.
Suddenly, Emily could not find the words to argue against the hurtful things he said.
“Does this feel bad? It should. I’ve given it a thought, Emily Quest. Perhaps this is karma for what you did to Xyla in the past,” Tom said before laughing coldly.
Emily was clenching her fists so tightly that her nails had dug into her own flesh without her realizing it.
Tom was nearly driving her mad.
In the next second, Emily covered her ears and began shouting like a mad person. “Ahhh!!! Ahhh!!! Ahhh!!!” She pretended to go insane.
Very soon, bodyguards came running out.
