NovelEnglishEvery bloody cut on Bailey Ronson's body was like a stimulant to Emily Quest.
Before this, she was sulking because her plan to ruin Xyla was a big failure. Nevertheless, all the sorrow and dejection within her had melted away as she looked at the scene unfolding before her. "Emily, what are you doing there? Hurry up and help us to plead for Mom right now!" Tom Sullivan ordered her coldly.
Finally, coming back to her senses, Emily's smile faded as she put on a look of fear and grief. She knelt in front of Tony Sullivan with her hands folded. "Dad, please forgive Mom. Though she's wrong, she's your wife after all... If you're not going to stop, please hitinstead of Mom..." Tony gathered all his strength to free himself from Tom's arms.
Shortly after, he raised the riding crop high into the air and lashed out at Bailey again.

"Ahhh... Dad, please stop hitting Mom... Vent your anger oninstead..." Emily had rubbernecked enough, and it was her chance to start acting now.

On top of that, Bailey would still be useful to her in the future. Therefore, she had to build a good rapport with this pawn for her benefit.
Besides, Tom would look at her differently from now on, or even fall for her perhaps.
Tony Sullivan raised his crop again. "Get out of the way!" However, Emily did not move at all and continued to hug Bailey tightly, determined to protect her.
"Emily, aren't you scared?" Bailey asked breathlessly.
Emily nodded her head desperately. "I am. But I'm more afraid of you getting beaten up by Dad instead of myself." For a moment, Bailey felt that Emily had changed. She was not as annoying as before.
Tony did not whip Emily in the end. He finally decided to put a stop to it as he did not want to implicate the innocent.
Ruthlessly throwing away the crop in his hand, he glowered at Bailey once more before turning to face Julian Sullivan. "Julian, it'll be hard for you from today onward." Following what statement, he left the four of them and went upstairs.
He did not say anything to Tom.
Tom was extremely disappointed about that. He thought his father would at least ask for his help after what had happened.
Nevermind. It did not matter. He was going to help out even if his father did not ask him to. As long as he managed to solve the crisis faced by Sullivan Food Group, the situation would be different then.
Gathering his thoughts, he quickly pushed Julian to where Bailey and Xyla were sitting. He then helped Bailey to get up from the floor, without even looking at Emily.

Emily's heart sank when she looked at Tom's apathetic attitude.
Nevertheless, she tried to ignore her feelings and got up to help Bailey. "Mom, let's go to the hospital." Bailey nodded in agreement before asking her, "Are you okay?"
Emily simply shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm glad to be able to block that whip for you, Mom." Upon hearing that, Bailey's heart was warmed instantaneously.
Today, none of her sons had cup to protect her from the whip. Only Emily...
