Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 420

Mary Sullivan’s heart immediately began to race, and she looked frightfully to where the teacup had been thrown from, only to find Tony Sullivan staring at her face with a murderous glare.

Bailey Ronson sat next to him, afraid of even breathing too loudly, and was wiping sweat off her forehead the entire time.

“Get your ass over here! You backstabber!” Tony was huffing and puffing while he yelled at Mary.

Because of Mary, Tony was completely humiliated today. Now, he wondered how many people were mocking the Sullivan family.

When Tony thought about this, he felt too embarrassed to even go out there and face other people.

Mary sucked in a breath of cold air before reluctantly walking over to Tony with her head lowered. “Father, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you,” she confessed.

She was well aware of her father’s temper. At this point, only a sincere admission of guilt could possibly save her life.

Although her father doted on her, he never compromised when it came to matters of principle.

“What’s the use of being sorry? Can my reputation be salvaged just because you apologized? Why am I so unlucky to have cumbersome children like you and Tom?” Tony uttered.

It was as if Mary and Tom had purchased their own column on the list of hottest news. As soon as one was removed from the list, the other would show up on it.

There was no dignity to be spoken of the Sullivan family now.

Tony was so angry that he thought about strangling Mary right away.

Mary kept her head down, afraid to even look at Tony’s face. “I’m sorry, Father. I’m truly sorry. I was wrong.”

“Using a stupid counterfeit to scam fifty million dollars from me. You’re the real deal, Mary Sullivan. How much did this necklace actually cost?” Tony asked.

“Ten… Ten million…” Mary said truthfully despite knowing the consequences.

“Ten million… Ten million dollars for it, and yet you came to me for fifty million dollars…! You’re a real piece of work, making money off your family at such a young age. What did you do with the rest of the forty million dollars you cheated from me?”

“I… I bought a car… and clothes,” Mary stammered.
