Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 420

Mary Sullivan's heart immediately began to race, and she looked frightfully to where the teacup had been thrown from, only to find Tony Sullivan staring at her face with a murderous glare. Bailey Ronson sat next to him, afraid of even breathing too loudly, and was wiping sweat off her forehead the entire time.

"Get your ass over here! You backstabber!" Tony was huffing and puffing while he yelled at Mary.

Because of Mary, Tony was completely humiliated today. Now, he wondered how many people were mocking the Sullivan family.

When Tony thought about this, he 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 her head lowered. "Father, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you," she confessed.

She was well aware of her father's temper. At this point, only a sincere admission of guilt could possibly save her life.

Although her father doted on her, he 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 he thought about strangling Mary right away.

Mary kept her 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 her face and her head with her sleeve.

Bailey carefully tugged at Tony's hand. "Honey, don't be mad, Mary is still a kid. She'll behave better once she gets older," she said softly.

"A kid? How is she 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 her father proud wherever she goes. What about Mary? She does the opposite. Wherever she goes, that's where I end up getting embarrassed!" Tony snapped angrily. The more he thought about this, the more upset he became.

Never mind that Mary embarrassed him, Tony even found out that she cheated his money using this counterfeit item as an excuse.

How could he tolerate this?

Tony's words hit Mary's self-esteem hard, and her jealousy and hatred toward Xyla rose skyrocketed once more.

She wanted to retort but didn't dare to do so. Hence, she could only grit her teeth and let the anger fill her heart.

"Someone! Drag her out and whip her a hundred times!" Tony ordered assertively. His words were final.

When Mary heard this, she nearly peed in her pants. She immediately trembled and knelt to the ground with her palms pressed together, constantly rubbing them back and forth while she looked sorrowfully at Tony. "Father, I'm sorry. I was wrong," she pleaded.

A hundred lashes!

If she was really whipped a hundred times, could her skin ever recover?

Her entire body would be covered in scars!

"Honey, please don't... I'm begging you," Bailey pleaded for Mary while she 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, he shouted in the door's direction again. "Hurry up! Drag her out of here!"
