To be honest, when Xyla Quest heard from Georgie Clementine about Tom Sullivan’s downtrodden state, she wasn’t as excited as Georgie on the inside.
In comparison, Xyla was much calmer.
It was probably because she already had her revenge against Tom previously.
Perhaps, it was also due to Emily Quest’s death and all the bad things that happened to Tom and his family one after another. Xyla could already find it in her to let the past stay in the past.
The Sullivan family no longer deserved her emotions in any way.
Xyla felt that life was quite miraculous.
Often, when one felt that obstacles were impossible to get past, one would look back after overcoming such obstacles and think it wasn’t all that bad after all.
Most of the feelings of hatred that one used to think were impossible to let go of might fade away as time went on. The better one lived, the sooner it all went away.
In fact, one might even laugh about all the things that used to hurt oneself.
All wounds left scars behind.
In the end, those scars became one’s shield that would make one impenetrable.
Despite how much Tom and Emily hurt Xyla in the past, they were now nothing but a speck of dust in her life.
They’d be blown away by a single gust of wind…
In fact, they didn’t deserve to linger in Xyla’s memories.
After silently watching the night scenery for a while, Xyla turned around and walked back to her desk. She then retrieved a makeup mirror from her drawer and placed it in front of her.
Immediately after that, she put all her cosmetic products on the desk.
Once she was done reapplying her makeup, she put everything back into place.
Right then, her phone started ringing again.
Beep, beep, beep…
It was a WeChat text from Georgie.
Georgie had sent her the location where they would have dinner tonight.
