Everyone in the Sullivan family seemed very aggrieved, but there wasn’t a single tear in their eyes.
Xyla Quest knew very well that the entire family was just putting on an act.
None of them from the Sullivan family actually felt sad about Emily Quest’s death.
Yet, even so, Xyla still didn’t feel sorry for Emily.
Everyone needed to pay for what they did. Back when Emily was alive, she wasn’t kind to others. After she died, she also shouldn’t receive kindness from others.
Jeremy Quest didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently listened to what the Sullivan family said as he looked at his wife and daughter’s memorial portraits with an empty gaze.
He was feeling extremely upset.
Although he hated the two of them thoroughly, he still felt a great pain in his chest when he looked at their coffins and memorial portraits.
Seeing her father like this made Xyla feel extremely upset as well.
She immediately hugged Jeremy tight. “Dad, please don’t be too sad. You’ll hurt yourself,” Xyla said carefully.
Jeremy nodded, but he still didn’t say anything.
Members of the Sullivan family pretended to let out a long sigh. After that, they backed away to one side and silently stood there in mourning.
Once they had left, Stanley Batton also kneeled next to Jeremy and patted his shoulder. “Dad, my condolences.”
Jeremy nodded again.
After a long while, Jeremy slowly turned to look at Xyla and Stanley. “Xyla, you are all I have left. You must stay alive and not make me lose you too. Stan, please protect Xyla well.”
“Alright…” Xyla and Stanley said simultaneously.
“Dad, don’t be sad anymore. Watching you like this makes me feel terrible,” Xyla added.
Jeremy let out a long sigh and wiped his tears. “How could I not feel sad… Xyla, why don’t you and Stan go over to help me greet the guests. I want to sit by myself for a while.”
This man was truly heartless.
Xyla also began to feel glad that this man had abandoned her back then.
Looking at how Tom behaved now, Xyla even felt a little grateful toward Emily.
If it weren’t for Emily, who was adamant about stealing Tom away from her, Xyla would’ve had to spend the rest of her life with this piece of trash.
In the end, Xyla would’ve ended up just like Emily.
When Tom realized that Xyla seemed to be looking at him, he immediately stopped smiling. He lowered his head and continued to act as if he was grieving.
Xyla snorted coldly.
‘This man sure has some acting skills.’ She thought.
Xyla couldn’t be bothered to pay any further attention to Tom. She shifted her attention once again to the guests who had just arrived.
