Immediately, Emily Quest slid her phone into her pocket. “I’ve already deleted the picture before I explain everything to you. There’s no point snatching my phone now.”
“Why did you do that?” Bailey Ronson’s face was filled with fury.
“It’s because I’m afraid that you won’t keep your words. I told you that I’m not going to go against Xyla Quest anymore. I’m tired.” Emily added, “I’m telling you because I’m afraid that you’ll kick me out of the house. I don’t have any other intentions.”
With that out of the way, Emily secretly tapped the screen of her phone in her pocket.
Her phone stopped recording their conversation.
It was for back-up purposes. To have the sound recording in her phone, she would have evidence to excuse herself from the trouble in case things went bad.
Everything was going exactly according to her mother’s plan.
“You better recover that picture right now and send it to me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook!”
“I hope that you will keep the promise. If you insist on me to do that, I’ll leave this house at all cost.”
Emily’s reply was totally out of Bailey’s expectation. As a result, rage began to sear through Bailey again.
She pointed at Emily furiously. “Fine… What a good daughter-in-law of mine… You know very well that my daughter, who is your best friend, Mary Sullivan has been bullied by Xyla all this while. Now that you have the evidence in your phone but you refuse to give it to me…”
“I really can’t.” Following that statement, Emily headed to the main door and left the house. “I’m going to see Mary.”
Bailey clenched both her fists tightly, all time mumbling to herself, “Emily, you’re a backstabber…”
Then, she sank into the sofa, her fists still tightly clenched.
Though Emily refused to give her the picture or to cooperate with her, it did not really matter to her.
She could still expose the embarrassing news if she wanted to.
All she had to do was to look up Emily’s call records and find that hacker friend of hers…!
Since that guy loved money so much, he would definitely send her all the evidence and information about Stanley Batton as long as she was willing to pay him at a high price.
Xyla had brought so much trouble to her baby daughter. Undoubtedly, she had to make Xyla pay the price no matter what.
