“For the time being, I still haven’t been able to find anything. Please give me more time…” The man’s voice could be heard from the other end of the call.“Why haven’t you found anything? Are you useless?” Emily Quest said disappointedly. She seemed very unhappy.“Miss Quest, could it be… that there’s nothing at fault with your sister’s husband? Why else can’t I find anything?” The man asked carefully.“That’s impossible. Keep investigating. My intuition is never wrong. If you haven’t found anything, why did you call me?” Emily yelled scornfully.“I just called to tell you that my pay for this month is late by two days.”“I know! I’ll give you one more month. If you can’t find anything, you can get lost,” Emily said through gritted teeth before hanging up right away.***Downstairs, Xyla Quest was still the center of attention.There was an increasing number of women surrounding her. They kept trying to talk to her about the vice president’s wife.Having to suddenly deal with
Jeremy Quest couldn’t resist raising his thumb. “Xyla, you are truly excellent. Indeed, you live up to the expectations I have for you as my heir.”“To be honest, it’s probably because she liked the way I looked,” Xyla said. This was the only reason Xyla could think of if she had to provide an explanation.“Regardless of what the reason is, I still think you are amazing,” Jeremy complimented her yet again. He seemed very proud of Xyla.“Yeah, Xyla is amazing. But you should be careful when interacting with people like her. If you make a wrong move, you might end up dragging the entire family business down,” May said and smiled at Xyla while she pretended to be concerned.Xyla looked at May calmly while she replied to her. “Okay… Thank you for the reminder, Aunty. I know what to do. If there’s nothing else, Aunty, we’ll be heading back. I need to get ready to go over to the vice president’s residence tonight.”“Okay, okay… Oh right, Xyla. I want to buy you a new race car… Don’t you
After finishing her sentence, Xyla Quest headed directly upstairs.Buzz, buzz, buzz… Catherine Batton’s call came in again and distracted Stanley Batton right then.“What is it now?” Stanley said after picking up.“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to play a game with me?”“No,” Stanley answered right away.After that, he ended the call and walked out the door.***Meanwhile, in the Quest family’s villa, Emily Quest was playing with her phone in bed after calming herself down from feeling angry earlier.Beep, beep, beep… Suddenly, she received a call from Tom Sullivan.When she saw who was calling, her hand trembled slightly.These days, Tom had been calling her very frequently, and he always talked about getting a divorce.Despite rejecting him each time, Tom still called her back repeatedly. It seemed he was very determined about it.As usual, Emily immediately cancelled the call.She absolutely refused to get a divorce with Tom. Now, she had already lost to
“Honey, Emily likes race cars the most. If you’re buying one for Xyla, could you also buy one for Emily? Perhaps she might feel better if she saw the car. What do you think?” May Conner asked.“Okay…” Jeremy Quest nodded decisively.May then smiled satisfactorily before resting her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and hugging him tightly around the waist.***As soon as Emily Quest arrived by the entrance, she could see Tom Sullivan’s Bentley parked right in front.The two cherry blossom trees in front of the entrance were in full bloom. There were light pink petals all over them.When a gust of wind blew past the trees, the petals took off to the air like snowflakes. Eventually, the petals landed on the ground, and some also landed on the roof of Tom’s car.Emily tried her best to appear depressed while she quickly got into the car from the passenger side before closing the door.Tom glared at her coldly before forcefully tossing the divorce papers onto her hand. “Hurry up and s
“Tom Sullivan, you really are cruel!” Emily Quest yelled through gritted teeth.“Yeah, I am very cruel. Why don’t you get a divorce? Why don’t you get rid of me? Just take the money I’m offering and get lost. What are you thinking? You really are a lowly b*tch!” Tom Sullivan raised his voice and stared at her face like he was staring at his enemy.Tom absolutely hated this woman. He was determined to get a divorce.His words hit Emily like a truck. She was now bawling her eyes out.Emily felt as if Tom had just torn her heart apart.“Tom Sullivan, this is too much,” Emily said while she clutched the divorce agreement tightly. The white sheets were now all crumpled.“If you don’t want me to do this, sign the papers,” Tom said. He had been trying to negotiate with her for so long in the nicest way possible, but she repeatedly rejected him. How else could he achieve his objective if he didn’t use drastic measures?“I have depression… Severe depression. Are you trying to get me kill
Wee-woo… Wee-woo…Right then, the sound of an ambulance arriving could be heard.Xyla Quest immediately looked over in that direction.She could clearly see Emily Quest being carried into the ambulance by a bodyguard while Jeremy Quest and May Conner got in right after.Everyone seemed very panicked.Xyla frowned confusedly before giving Jeremy a call. “Father, what’s going on?”“Let’s not talk about it. Tom Sullivan, that b*stard, came to your little sister asking for a divorce. Your sister got so upset that she got her head injured, and she’s now passed out,” Jeremy uttered.Xyla was not at all surprised by Tom’s terrible behavior.“Alright, let’s stop talking about it. I’m hanging up…” Jeremy said before he hung up.Xyla didn’t feel sorry at all for what happened to Emily because she brought all of this upon herself.Was this how glad Emily felt when she made Tom cheat on Xyla in the past?Back then, Emily must have thought she was a winner in life.However, Emily forgot
Very soon, a tall, thin man wearing a long, black trench coat, a white shirt, and black pants walked in.With a short haircut, he had handsome facial features and fair, soft skin. He seemed very noble and well-mannered.Rather than saying he was handsome, one might say he was beautiful instead. He looked like a gorgeous woman capable of making any man fall for him.Xyla Quest had heard in the past that the vice president’s only son was quite good-looking, and she was convinced now that she had seen him.After allowing his gaze to linger on Xyla’s face for a second, the man smiled and walked over to her and Rebecca. He kept his hands in his trench coat’s pockets while he looked at Rebecca. “Mother, who is this beautiful young lady?”When he smiled, a special pair of delicate dimples appeared on his face.After asking the question, he turned to look at Xyla with a smile on his face.“Xyla Quest… the eldest daughter of the Quest Group’s family. She’s a year older than you. You shou
The pendant on the necklace was an eight-carat round, pink diamond. On top of the pink diamond, there was a pair of wings made from finely ground platinum.Meanwhile, the chain was an extremely simple platinum chain.The gorgeous diamond emitted a beautiful halo in the light and Rebecca Robin was instantly amazed by it.Rebecca couldn’t help but enthuse excitedly. “Wow! Such an excellent piece by the internationally renowned jewelry designer, Sunny.”With that, Rebecca carefully took the necklace out of the box and examined it.On the clasp of the necklace, there were carved alphabets which spelled out ‘Sunny’.“I’ve always wanted something Sunny designed. I really like her style of design, but I’ve never been able to buy it. Whenever her designs were released, too many people competed for them. There were always people with a higher status than me. Hence, I never got the chance to buy her designs,” Rebecca said while she admired the pendant.When Xyla Quest saw how pleased Rebe
