The more aggrieved Emily Quest was, the more May Conner hated Xyla Quest.“But Emily… Didn’t you say that you drew the blueprint yourself?” May asked cautiously. Emily pushed May away at once and glared at her with her red eyes. “Weeks ago, I inadvertently found a sketchbook outside of our house. There were many architectural sketches inside. They looked fantastic to me, so I decided to take it home…“The sketchbook reminded me of your suggestion. You said that I should use architectural design to win Dad’s favor. Therefore, I chose a couple of sketches from the book and made some minor changes to it. They turned out to be pretty good. I thought it wouldn’t be a problem to use the original blueprint this time.“In fact, the main reason I did that was… I wasn’t satisfied with my design. In a moment of madness, I persuaded myself to take the easy way out,” Emily confessed.May let out a deep, helpless sigh. “Forget it. It’s just plagiarism. What’s so big deal about it? I can’t beli

A random guy—with a Maserati steering wheel as his profile picture—sent her an invitation on Messenger. “Shall we get a room tonight?”Emily Quest opened the message and scrolled through his profile. There was not a single picture of him on his timeline. Emily could only find some photos of the countries he visited. There were also a few pictures of his luxury car.Judging from those pictures, Emily could tell that he was a wealthy man. “Sure.” Emily agreed without hesitation. She was already thinking of finding someone in the evening as she was in a bad mood today. She hoped that having a date could help her to relax and unwind. Surprisingly, the wealthy man came to her before she took any action. How could she refuse such a great offer?Emily immediately typed ‘sure’ and sent it to the man. Shortly, the man shared his location with her. He was at Silver International Hotel. “See you at 8809 Presidential Suite at 8.00 p.m. I’ll be waiting for you here,” the man repl

After a lingering kiss, Stanley Batton forced her down and bit her earlobe mischievously. “Tell me… Do you miss me? Hmm?”It was a blatant lie if she said she did not miss him at all. Xyla Quest nodded truthfully.“Which part of you misses me?”“My heart.“Stanley Batton!”Xyla’s face grew redder and redder. Luminous rosiness seared through her cheeks, all the way to her ears and neck. Her heart was about to leap from her throat. The man above her grinned. He leaned forward and met her lips again, hungry yet passionate.***The man refused to let her go even after they reached home. Xyla slowly rolled over and raised her head, gazing at the man’s mesmerizing face. “How’s the issue in Country Y? Is everything settled?” she asked.“Yeah…” the man mumbled while gently stroking her hair. Every bit of him dwelled in great fondness for her. “That’s pretty fast.”“Of course… I want to see you.” Once again, Xyla was deeply touched by him.Heat rose from her stomach to her

The man remained expressionless the entire time. He stood there watching for a while, then sat down on the chair across from the bed and continued watching her performance from a different angle. When Emily Quest was completely naked, the man slowly rose to his feet and muttered, “Let’s have fun in the bathroom…”Emily nodded and jumped off the bed. She inched closer and grabbed the man’s lapel, trying to pull him to the bathroom with her. However, the man stood still. “Keep going. I’ll get something first.”Emily smiled at him as she turned around, taking the lead to enter the bathroom.Instead of following her, the man secretly picked up the scattered clothes and bag before stalking out of the room.Though Emily heard a thud from the closing door, she did not find it suspicious as she thought the man was going out to buy some condoms. She took a shower unwarily.After the shower, she found that the hotel did not provide them with any towels. She quickly looked around the

“Ahhh!!! I’m so pissed!” Emily Quest broke down. She should not have accepted the man’s invitation in the first place. Regret sat in her stomach, drowning her in dread. ***There were a few cars at the hotel’s underground parking lot. The darkness around them was absolute, and the silence was oppressive. In the black Rolls-Royce limousine, Christopher Lancelot was languidly sitting on the back seat of the car with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He was wearing a white dress shirt and a pair of black trousers. The first three buttons of his shirt were unfastened, revealing his imposing chest muscle. The daunting aura exuded by him was intensified in the darkness. There were two rows of black-clad men standing beside the car. The lineup was formidable. The people who passed by the parking lot could hardly stop to turn and look at them. Suddenly, the car door was opened. A young man with the glossy slicked back hair hung his head respectfully. “Master Lancelot,

Getting no response from Emily Quest, Tom Sullivan pulled out the room’s key card from his pocket. He placed it on the door lock and opened the door without hesitation. The door slowly opened.Emily’s heart was in her throat. In the very next second, her naked body came into Tom’s view. Pure disgust was all that was in his mind at that instant. Without love, there was nothing about her that could affect his emotion. He did not even care about what she did just now. The disgust in his eyes only intensified with each second he looked at her. Just how did he find this slut attractive in the past?His heartless gaze pierced through Emily’s heart as though it was a sharp blade. Agony ripped through her skin, threatening to take her life away.“I heard that you got a room with someone and did some strip dances. I’m here to check it out and, by the by, put my cards on the table.” Tom remained as cold as ever.Upon hearing that, Emily was completely panicked. Like a crazy wom

Apart from Xyla Quest, Emily Quest really couldn’t think of anyone else.Xyla was the only person who had any reason to do this.“Alright… If that’s the case, I admit to all of this. But it’s all because of you, isn’t it? You refused to touch me, and I feel very empty because of that…“That’s why, I have hooked up with other people. I’m still so young. How could I possibly abstain from sex all the time? Although I have cheated on you physically, I only have feelings for you.“To me, physical and emotional attachment can be separated. My heart has always belonged to you and you only. I only love you,” Emily said with an earnest look in her eyes.Indeed, these were the thoughts from the bottom of her heart.At this point, Tom Sullivan couldn’t believe what he heard anymore.He couldn’t understand how anyone in the world could be this thick-skinned and shameless…The more Emily behaved like this, the more Tom missed Xyla.Xyla would never do something like this. She had always be

Tom Sullivan snorted coldly before turning around to look at Emily Quest. “What do you have to say?” he asked.“You’ve been taking drugs all the time these days… Don’t think I’m unaware of it,” Emily said with a cold snort.Tom’s facial expression changed immediately. “What nonsense are you saying?”Half a month ago, Emily smelled drugs on Tom when he came home one night.Since Emily knew someone who did drugs previously, she was familiar with that scent, and she was also susceptible to it.Back then, she had already suspected that Tom was doing drugs. However, she never found any concrete proof.Now, she had no choice but to try tricking him.If she managed to make him confess, she’d be able to blackmail him into not getting a divorce with her.“Do you think your father would entrust you with the Sullivan family’s business if he found out? Won’t you have to go to jail if the police found out?“Do you think I’m talking nonsense? I’m going to call the cops and tell them that yo
