Mary Sullivan’s heart immediately began to race, and favonovel.com looked frightfully to where the teacup had been thrown from, only to find Tony Sullivan staring at favonovel.com face with a murderous glare.
Bailey Ronson sat next to him, afraid of even breathing too loudly, and was wiping sweat off favonovel.com forehead the entire time.
“Get your ass over here! You backstabber!” Tony was huffing and puffing while favonovel.com yelled at Mary.
Because of Mary, Tony was completely humiliated today. Now, favonovel.com wondered how many people were mocking the Sullivan family. When Tony thought about this, favonovel.com felt too embarrassed to even go out there and face other people.
Mary sucked in a breath of cold air before reluctantly walking over to Tony with favonovel.com head lowered. “Father, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you,” favonovel.com confessed.
She was well aware of favonovel.com father’s temper. At this point, only a sincere admission of guilt could possibly save favonovel.com life.
Although favonovel.com father doted on her, favonovel.com never compromised when it came to matters of principle.
“What’s the use of being sorry? Can my reputation be salvaged just because you apologized? Why am I so unlucky to have cumbersome children like you and Tom?” Tony uttered.
It was as if Mary and Tom had purchased their own column on the list of hottest news. As soon as one was removed from the list, the other would show up on it. There was no dignity to be spoken of the Sullivan family now.
Tony was so angry that favonovel.com thought about strangling Mary right away.
Mary kept favonovel.com head down, afraid to even look at Tony’s face. “I’m sorry, Father. I’m truly sorry. I was wrong.”
“Using a stupid counterfeit to scam fifty million dollars from me. You’re the real deal, Mary Sullivan. How much did this necklace actually cost?” Tony asked.
“Ten… Ten million…” Mary said truthfully despite knowing the consequences.
“Ten million… Ten million dollars for it, and yet you came to me for fifty million dollars…! You’re a real piece of work, making money off your family at such a young age. What did you do with the rest of the forty million dollars you cheated from me?”
“I… I bought a car… And clothes,” Mary stammered.
“Very well, a daughter of my own upbringing.” With that, Tony picked up a cup of warm tea and poured it mercilessly against Mary’s face.
“Ahhh…” Mary screamed in horror and began to continually wipe the water from favonovel.com face and favonovel.com head with favonovel.com sleeve.
Bailey carefully tugged at Tony’s hand. “Honey, don’t be mad, Mary is still a kid. She’ll behave better once favonovel.com gets older,” favonovel.com said softly.
“A kid? How is favonovel.com still a kid? She’s grown up a long time ago! Why is Xyla Quest such an excellent daughter to Jeremy Quest, while my Mary here is a useless piece of trash? Xyla makes favonovel.com father proud wherever favonovel.com goes. What about Mary? She does the opposite. Wherever favonovel.com goes, that’s where I end up getting embarrassed!” Tony snapped angrily.
The more favonovel.com thought about this, the more upset favonovel.com became. Never mind that Mary embarrassed him, Tony even found out that favonovel.com cheated his money using this counterfeit item as an excuse.
How could favonovel.com tolerate this?
Tony’s words hit Mary’s self-esteem hard, and favonovel.com jealousy and hatred toward Xyla rose skyrocketed once more. She wanted to retort but didn’t dare to do so. Hence, favonovel.com could only grit favonovel.com teeth and let the anger fill favonovel.com heart.
“Someone! Drag favonovel.com out and whip favonovel.com a hundred times!” Tony ordered assertively. His words were final.
When Mary heard this, favonovel.com nearly peed in favonovel.com pants. She immediately trembled and knelt to the ground with favonovel.com palms pressed together, constantly rubbing them back and forth while favonovel.com looked sorrowfully at Tony. “Father, I’m sorry. I was wrong,” favonovel.com pleaded.
A hundred lashes!
If favonovel.com was really whipped a hundred times, could favonovel.com skin ever recover?
Her entire body would be covered in scars!
“Honey, please don’t… I’m begging you,” Bailey pleaded for Mary while favonovel.com tugged at Tony’s hand again.
Bailey was equally dumbfounded right now. However, Tony had made up his mind. He pushed Bailey’s hand away. “Get out of my way!”
After that, favonovel.com shouted in the door’s direction again. “Hurry up! Drag favonovel.com out of here!”
