Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 559

Every bloody cut on Bailey Ronson’s body was like a stimulant to Emily Quest.

Before this, she was sulking because her plan to ruin Xyla was a big failure. Nevertheless, all the sorrow and dejection within her had melted away as she looked at the scene unfolding before her.

“Emily, what are you doing there? Hurry up and help us to plead for Mom right now!” Tom Sullivan ordered her coldly.

Finally, coming back to her senses, Emily’s smile faded as she put on a look of fear and grief. She knelt in front of Tony Sullivan with her hands folded. “Dad, please forgive Mom. Though she’s wrong, she’s your wife after all… If you’re not going to stop, please hit me instead of Mom…”

Tony gathered all his strength to free himself from Tom’s arms.

Shortly after, he raised the riding crop high into the air and lashed out at Bailey again.

Emily immediately ran over and pulled Bailey into her arms.

In the next second, the crop landed right on her back.

Her skin cracked, and her flesh split open.

The scene terrified everyone in the living room.

None of them had expected that Emily would sacrifice herself to shield Bailey, not even Bailey herself.

At that moment, Bailey was extremely touched by her action.

“Ahhh… Dad, please stop hitting Mom… Vent your anger on me instead…” Emily had rubbernecked enough, and it was her chance to start acting now.

By doing so, she could greatly win the Sullivan family’s favor and avoid herself from being divorced by her husband.

On top of that, Bailey would still be useful to her in the future. Therefore, she had to build a good rapport with this pawn for her benefit.

Besides, Tom would look at her differently from now on, or even fall for her perhaps.

Tony Sullivan raised his crop again. “Get out of the way!”

However, Emily did not move at all and continued to hug Bailey tightly, determined to protect her.

“Emily, aren't you scared?” Bailey asked breathlessly.

Emily nodded her head desperately. “I am. But I’m more afraid of you getting beaten up by Dad instead of myself.”
