Regardless of what happened, Mary Sullivan was bound to be humiliated today.
She genuinely regretted her behavior earlier.
She also hated God. Why did God always leave the best things for Xyla?
Who was she anyway?
After taking a deep breath, Mary looked down with conflicted feelings. Her face was completely red.
Right then, she could neither leave nor stay.
Everyone’s gaze seemed to burn into her skin.
“What’s the matter? Can’t stand to lose, Mary Sullivan?” Xyla Quest slowly flicked her long beige nails against one another while asking softly.
Although her voice was soft, she still had a commanding presence.
Despite not showing any facial expression, she could easily overpower Mary.
Mary was speechless.
Meanwhile, the bodyguards around Xyla couldn’t bear watching this any longer.
They started criticizing Mary on her behalf.
“She really can’t stand to lose.”
“Exactly. She said she’d get on her knees and call Ms. Quest Mommy. What’s the matter? Feeling regretful?”
“You can regret all you want. In that case, do a handstand and defecate just like you said.”
“Since you can’t bear the consequences, why did you act so bold earlier? Didn’t you consider the fact that you might lose?”
Mary felt even more embarrassed by what the bodyguards said.
Right then, she felt like she was the greatest joke in the world.
Humiliated to the point of anger, Mary stomped her feet and looked up at Xyla, who seemed unconcerned.
The calmer Xyla appeared to be, the angrier Mary felt.
