As Emily Quest shivered from head to toe, she could already picture how things would turn out.
“You… What are you saying?” Emily pretended to sound weak as she lay flat on the ground. Her gaze
was darting from left to right.
The people who were yelling at Xyla Quest a moment ago now kept their mouths shut. They all looked
at the bloody bag in Xyla’s hand with a look of disbelief on their faces. Without even asking, they all
had an answer to the question in their minds.
“Xyla Quest, what are you doing? Your little sister is covered in blood. Shouldn’t we get her to the
hospital immediately? What are you holding in your hand?” May Conner shouted as her pupils dilated
and darted around frantically.
“What am I holding? It’s the planted evidence Emily wanted to frame me with for her miscarriage, of
course,” Xyla said coldly before tossing the bloody bag at Tom Sullivan.
“From the looks on your faces, I’m sure you all know the answer. That’s right. It is exactly what you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthink it is,” Xyla said as she looked at everyone around her.
Meanwhile, Tom ignored Xyla as he got up painfully. When he turned to look at Emily coldly, his eyes
were red with anger.
“Everyone, have a look What’s this?” Xyla asked as she let go of Emily and took her phone out. She
then searched for a video clip before showing it to the others and tapping on her phone’s ‘Play’ button.
Very soon, everything that had happened upstairs earlier started replaying on the phone screen, almost
like a movie scene.
Emily’s voice, her behavior, and everything that happened earlier were now exposed to the public.
Suddenly, people around her began talking among themselves as they turned to look at her.
“This is ridiculous! All kinds of people exist in this world. If I were Xyla, I’d probably have killed Emily for
the things she said,” someone exclaimed.
“Was she pretending to be pregnant the whole time? Did she trick her husband into getting married? I
feel terrible for the Sullivan family’s bad luck,” someone added.
“I think Xyla Quest is the unfortunate one. It’s a case of lifetime suffering for having a younger sister like
this,” someone said.
As the people discussed among themselves, the clip came to an end. Closely after that, Xyla pressed
on the replay button.
Every word that could be heard sounded like music to her ears.
Meanwhile, Emily began to break down. Watching the clip felt as if she saw a ghost right before her.
Did Xyla actually install a surveillance camera there before the scene took place?
When did she do it?
Why did Emily feel as if Xyla had planned for this to happen all along?
It seemed as if Xyla was certain Emily would try to frame her in such a way. Therefore, Xyla had made
sure everything was arranged in advance.
“No, don’t listen to the nonsense Xyla is saying. I… I wanted to frame Xyla with the fake blood. That
part is true. However, the fact that I am pregnant is true. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto the hospital so that I can be examined.” Emily continued to defend herself.
However, Tom had lost his patience and stormed off. With Tom leaving, Emily felt as if the world had
abandoned her. Emily’s feelings of hatred and jealousy toward Xyla caused her to grind her teeth
angrily. She wished she could kill Xyla right there and then!
“If you really are pregnant, you would have lost the baby when you rolled down the stairs just now,
unless your baby is made of steel,” Xyla snorted coldly.
After finishing her sentence, Xyla turned to look at the private doctor, Flint Coleman, whom Jeremy
Quest had just called over.
“Doctor Coleman, from what I know, you are greatly skilled in Chinese medicinal treatment. I would like
to trouble you to check on my little sister’s pulse. To avoid any suspicion, my husband should not get
involved,” Xyla said calmly but confidently.
When Emily heard Xyla’s words, her hands began to tremble in fear as she pushed them against the
ground.
