“Officers, did you hear that? She admitted it. Take her away immediately! There’s no need to investigate! Also, please investigate my wife. She’s part of this!” Jeremy stood up and said to the police officers.
By then, Emily already felt hopeless. She knew this was the end for her.
“Brother Sullivan, why don’t you say something to save me? If I’m taken away, our wedding might be indefinitely postponed! The child would be affected too!” Emily immediately turned to look at Tom Sullivan.
Since Tom was eager for Emily to be taken away, and he never wanted to marry her anyway, he did not mind that she would be sent to prison. After all, the police officers would keep her child safe once she arrived.
Therefore, Tom turned his face away without saying a word.
Undoubtedly, Emily felt even more hurt by his attitude.
May Conner could no longer take this anymore. She pointed a finger at Tom Sullivan. “Tom, how could you be this inhumane? She is bearing your child!” May yelled at Tom angrily.
“That’s because he can tell the difference between right and wrong, unlike you!” Jeremy answered.
Very soon, the police officers placed handcuffs over the wrists of the two women.
Xyla Quest snorted while she sat back down on the couch and enjoyed the show.
These two women were the perfect example of going out for wool and coming home shorn.
“Xyla, you have gone too far. Can’t you speak up for us? I don’t mind if you don’t care about me. However, Emily is your little sister! You two are related by blood! Are you really going to watch a pregnant lady get sent to prison and face those risks?” May Conner said angrily.
“She is willing to put the entire Quest family at risk for the sake of messing with me. What could I possibly say to help her?” Xyla said calmly in a soft voice. Although she did not make any face, she sounded equally confident as May.
