“Ahhh!!!” Mary Sullivan was hysterical while she stepped on the accelerator forcefully and sped forward.
Her hatred against Xyla Quest grew even more.
Mary wished she could skin Xyla alive and drink her blood.
Beep, beep, beep… Mary’s phone began to ring after she had driven not too far away.
When she saw it was a call from her father, her heart instantly started beating wildly. Her hands on the steering wheel began to tremble wildly too.
After taking a deep breath, she stopped her car by the road and frightfully answered the call.
“Mary Sullivan!!! Is it so hard for you to not embarrass me for a single day? How did I end up raising a child like you? Where are you? Get your ass back here right now!” Tony Sullivan shouted angrily.
Mary immediately shuddered.
“Didn’t you say you bought that necklace for fifty million dollars? Didn’t you say it was the original? If it’s a counterfeit, surely it would not have cost so much, right? Tell me. What did you do with the rest of the money?”
“You’ve got a lot of nerve to cheat money from your family! Get your ass back here in an hour. Otherwise, don’t ever come back!” Tony shouted angrily once more.
Completely terrified, Mary shuddered again before quickly hanging up.
After putting her phone in her handbag, she pressed her trembling hands together.
What should she do?
Right then, she felt like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Meanwhile, Xyla had prepared a bubble bath for herself. She leisurely sprinkled a layer of red rose petals over the white foamy surface before stepping into the bath.
Slowly, she applied a golden mask over her face and picked up her phone to have a look at Mary Sullivan’s latest news on Weibo.
