Tom Sullivan snorted coldly before turning around to look at Emily Quest. “What do you have to say?” he asked.
“You’ve been taking drugs all the time these days… Don’t think I’m unaware of it,” Emily said with a cold snort.
Tom’s facial expression changed immediately. “What nonsense are you saying?”
Half a month ago, Emily smelled drugs on Tom when he came home one night.
Since Emily knew someone who did drugs previously, she was familiar with that scent, and she was also susceptible to it.
Back then, she had already suspected that Tom was doing drugs. However, she never found any concrete proof.
Now, she had no choice but to try tricking him.
If she managed to make him confess, she’d be able to blackmail him into not getting a divorce with her.
“Do you think your father would entrust you with the Sullivan family’s business if he found out? Won’t you have to go to jail if the police found out?
“Do you think I’m talking nonsense? I’m going to call the cops and tell them that you’re doing drugs. They’ll arrest you to get your blood tested,” Emily enunciated each word. She had a very confident look on her face.
“You… Wh*re of a woman…” Tom was so angry with embarrassment that he lifted his hand and was about to slap Emily across her face.
His reaction easily convinced Emily that her guess was correct.
Indeed, he really was doing drugs.
Emily instantly sighed in relief and grabbed his hand so that he couldn’t slap her. “Be a good boy and don’t divorce me. I won’t tell anyone if you do that,” she said.
“Emily Quest! You are despicable and shameless!” Tom yelled through gritted teeth.
“Indeed, I am despicable and shameless… But it’s all because I love you…” Emily said.
“Tom, you must believe me. Although my personal life is messed up, and I’ve slept with countless men, there’s only one person in my heart. They can have my body, but they can’t have my heart,” Emily added.
Tom felt even more disgusted with her. “When did you find out?” he asked.
“You don’t have to care about that. Either way, I know about it, and I even have proof of it. If you go ahead with the divorce, I can ruin your reputation at any time,” Emily said.
At this moment, Tom felt as if this woman in front of him was a leech. Not only was she disgusting, but she was also difficult to get rid of.
“Why do you do drugs? Is it because you’re under a lot of pressure?” Emily asked.
