From that audio clip, Xyla Quest could clearly feel that Stanley Batton did not love her at all.
She was the only one who was serious about their relationship, after all.
She could not help doubting herself. Did she not deserve to be loved? Did she not deserve to be happy?
From Tom Sullivan to Stanley, all the men she met were nothing but trash.
As she pondered about it, tears began to pour down her cheeks.
Xyla also started wondering about the identity of the person who sent her the email.
Why would he or she have a recording of their conversation?
Who was that person?
While she was lost in her thoughts, she found that she arrived home. Nevertheless, she did not want to step into that house right now. Without further ado, she made a U-turn and headed straight to Silver International Hotel.
She wanted to be alone tonight. She needed a few moments of peace to process everything that was happening to her right now.
Then, she had to make a decision.
***
After Bailey Ronson and Tom settled the bill, they took Emily Quest back to the Sullivan family’s house.
Once they got back home, Emily ran upstairs and shared the good news with May Conner.
May sprang out of bed in shock and excitement the moment she heard the breaking news. The mask on her face flew away and fell to the floor.
Without paying any heed to the mask, she tiptoed to the window while stealing glances at the doorway. Making sure there was no one around her, she asked in a low voice, “Really?”
May could barely conceal her delight. Exhilaration and contentment streaked through her like a comet.
