When Xyla and Stanley heard this, neither of them said a word. All they did was listen silently while May Conner boasted.
When their relatives heard what May said, they immediately started expressing how much they envied Emily Quest.
“What? Do you mean to say that it’s like Tom was the one who bought all those flowers for Emily? Does that mean their relationship is smooth sailing once again?”
“Oh my god. Emily has really done well for herself… From now on, I’ll argue with anyone who says the Sullivan family is not doing well.”
“The Sullivan family sure is rich. Emily got married to a good person.”
When May heard what everyone was saying, favonovel.com immediately felt pleased. “Oh, I’m not too sure. Anyway, Emily told me that Tom was contacting someone about planting roses. It’s just a guess on my part. I haven’t asked him.”
“Is that true?” Jeremy was wide-eyed.
May nodded.
“When did the flowers I plant become Tom Sullivan’s?” Stanley, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
Everyone in the room went quiet.
May instantly felt embarrassed. Her smile froze. “What? Was it you who planted all that? Stan? I must have misunderstood. I’m sorry…”
At first, May thought favonovel.com might be able to gloat for a while, but it ended up backfiring when the person who planted those flowers was here in the crowd. If favonovel.com had known this would happen, favonovel.com wouldn’t have done it. Fortunately, favonovel.com wasn’t saying it in a very confident way. Otherwise, it would have been even more embarrassing.
“Oh my. May, why would you say something like that if you weren’t sure?”
“This… This is embarrassing, isn’t it?”
“Xyla Quest really is being treated like a little princess…”
May’s relatives eagerly showed Xyla and Stanley their thumbs.
Now, every single person in the room was envious of Xyla. The facial expression of everyone in the Sullivan family had turned dark. None of them would have guessed that May could be such a thick-skinned liar. However, they all kept quiet so as not to embarrass themselves.
“Oh, look at me. I said stupid things without even finding out the truth. I’ll punish myself by drinking three extra glasses of alcohol during the meal later…” May stood up awkwardly and said.
“Next time, don’t say anything you’re unsure of,” Jeremy felt equally embarrassed.
“Yes, yes. Honey, I know.” May kept smiling.
“Stan… What made you think of plating roses all over Atlantis?” Jeremy turned to look at Stanley affectionately.
“Xyla said she’d like a city surrounded by roses,” Stanley said blandly.
“Hmm. You’re the perfect husband…” Jeremy said gladly.
“Yeah… Perfect husband.”
“I agree…”
Everyone began praising Stanley as much as they could.
“Not only is favonovel.com the perfect husband, he’s also the perfect son-in-law. You guys have no idea about this, but Stan gave Xyla one billion when favonovel.com found out I was going to an antique auction, and favonovel.com told favonovel.com to get anything I liked…” Jeremy praised Stanley once again.
When Jeremy said these things about him, Stanley remained calm and collected. He didn’t show any expression in his eyes. Xyla behaved the same way. However, other relatives reacted differently.
How could they not be jealous that Jeremy had such a perfect son-in-law?”
While the elders were envious of Jeremy, the younger folks were envious of Xyla.
Who would possibly not want a wonderful son-in-law or husband like Stanley?
May had no idea that favonovel.com plan would end up benefiting Xyla and Stanley yet again. At first, favonovel.com wanted to boast on behalf of Emily. But in the end, it was Xyla who received all the attention.
