“Since you know it’s not easy, you should’ve behaved yourself,” Stanley Batton responded half-heartedly. He looked ahead, not even bothering to glance at Tom Sullivan.
Right at this moment, Bailey Ronson walked out of the hall.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Bailey immediately closed the door behind her and strode toward them, coming to a halt beside Tom. Likewise, she tried to beg Stanley for mercy humbly. “Stan, please forgive me. I know that I was wrong and I’ve learnt from my mistake.”
Pure disgust was all that was on Xyla’s mind as she looked at Bailey.
Thinking about everything she had done at the banquet today and how she used to support Tom Sullivan to dump her, Xyla could never forgive her.
Xyla’s kidney was right there in her body.
However, all through her life, she took everything for granted and she never appreciated them. Was there a need to sympathize with such an ungrateful person?
“If an apology helps, why do we need the police on earth?” Without bothering to talk to them, Stanley hugged Xyla and made his way to the hall.
Despair washed over Bailey. She hugged Tom tightly and helplessly, tears flowing down her cheeks as she muttered, “Son, we’re done for, aren’t we? Isn’t that Xyla heartless? Although I’m at fault, why doesn’t she try to help us? She deserves to die!”
“It’s unsurprising that Xyla gets mad at us. After all, what you did just now was… But she really doesn’t bother to help us at all. That’s so cruel.”
“Cruel? She’s evil, okay? I’m so disgusted at her.” Bailey stomped her foot in rage.
As soon as Bailey finished her sentence, the door of the hall flung open again.
Tony Sullivan darted out of the hall with a gloomy face and headed straight for Bailey. Raising his hand, he threw his hand forward as hard as he could, swinging it across her face.
He slapped her with all his might.
Very soon, Bailey’s right cheek became swollen. There was blood at the corner of her lips.
She was looked on blankly, stunned. Tears started to flow down her cheeks like a river escaping a dam.
