The truth would be revealed one day. Those who were on the dark side would have to pay for their misdeeds. What went around came around. It was only a matter of time. Jeremy Quest nodded in agreement. “You definitely will.”Jeremy could not take it anymore. It all happened so suddenly. He was heartbroken enough to find out that her daughter committed suicide, whereas his wife died of a cerebral hemorrhage.Never in his life had he imagined that they were murdered. Who the hell was this ‘master’? Jeremy’s utter bewilderment was reflected in his eyes. He was appalled when he recalled everything that had happened on Xyla Quest before. He was so close to losing his favorite and most outstanding daughter. “Xyla, I’m so grateful that you’re alive and well. I thank god for taking care of you. I really am scared when I think about it.” Jeremy patted Xyla’s hands, mixed feelings churning inside of him. Xyla was touched hearing that. She slid her fingers between Jeremy’s

The fake bodies they found replaced Emily Quest and May Conner’s corpses to be cremated at eight o’clock the following day. At noon, countless guests had arrived at the funeral home to watch the burial ceremony. Tears and silent anguish accompanied the substitutes’ ashes into the grave. After the burial, the crowd placed bouquets around the graves and started a prayer with Jeremy Quest taking the lead. The funeral ceremony officially ended a few minutes later. Jeremy, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton took the guests to a fancy hotel downtown for lunch. They finished the meal at around third o’clock in the afternoon. After sending off the guests, Xyla and Stanley drove Jeremy back to the Quest family’s house. Jeremy drowned in raw agony and sorrow even after he went home. His face was as pale as chalk. Xyla and Stanley carefully helped him to the couch in the living room. Jeremy could not stop sighing as he sank onto the couch. He grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee

“By the way, the investigation will be carried out in secret. I’ve warned Carson Ritzer, Zack Cassidy, and all my bodyguards to keep their mouths shut. You guys don’t have to worry about it.“We won’t tell anyone about the mastermind behind their deaths. I’ve taken care of everything,” Stanley Batton reassured Xyla Quest and Jeremy Quest. Xyla and Jeremy felt much more relieved after hearing that. Jeremy patted Stanley’s shoulder and complimented him, “I know I can always rely on you. Stan, you’re my best son-in-law.” Once again, Stanley had proved his strong sense of responsibility and accountability to Jeremy. Jeremy was grateful to have a son-in-law like him. “It’s the least I can do, Dad,” Stanley replied humbly. Upon hearing their conversation, Xyla’s soft lips subconsciously stretched into a beautiful smile. She did not have to worry about anything when she was with him. All she had to do was to sit there and enjoy her life. He would settle everything for her, pe

“Don’t you need to go back to your company? You’ve been with me for two days.”“My company is not as important as you,” Stanley Batton answered truthfully. “You can always go back to your office if you’re busy. I’m fine being alone here,” said Xyla.“It’s okay. I’ve settled everything there.”Xyla stopped arguing and surrendered to his secure embrace. She lay on her chest like a tame, adorable kitten. “Dad didn’t really eat just now. Make some dinner for him later. He loves your sweet and sour pork ribs,” Xyla whispered, her voice soft and weak. “No problem.”“Thanks, hubby.”“That’s what I’m supposed to do.”Buzz buzz buzz… Stanley’s phone vibrated just as he finished his sentence. Seeing Zack Cassidy’s name on the screen, Stanley hung up on him without hesitation. Very soon, Zack sent him a text message. “Fifth Master, we have a client waiting for you at the company. Should I pick you up now?” “I’ll talk to him another day.” Stanley quickly typed and sent. “What

The Quest family and the maid’s family held a small funeral for the maid the following day. After the funeral, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their home together. This was the first time they went back home since Emily Quest passed away. Sunlight streamed golden through the window and lit the living room.All the Baroque-style ornaments in the living room were shimmering brightly in the golden sun rays. Xyla plopped down on the couch as soon as she reached home. She leaned against the backrest and pinched her nose bridge to keep herself awake. After putting on the slippers, Stanley strode across the living room and sat down next to her. Suddenly and without warning, he turned her body sideways and gave her stiff shoulder a massage. He was as good as a professional masseur. He applied the right amount of pressure at the exact acupoints of her body. Xyla felt like all her soreness disappeared at that instant. Tenderness was written all over the man. The sun

The sunlight added luster to their tanned skins. Their utter dismay was reflected in their eyes. Xyla Quest’s heart began to throb frantically at the sight of them. Xyla floored the gas pedal and accelerated the car. She pulled up in front of their house and opened the car door for them politely. After they got into the car, Xyla drove them to a bank downtown. Xyla parked her car at a nearby parking lot before getting out of the car and heading to the bank with the two elders. Bang!Suddenly, they heard a loud bang behind them. Xyla immediately turned to look in the direction of the noise. She was shocked to find the rear of a black Audi crashed into her Bentley Arnage. The spot where the two cars clashed belched dense smoke. Obviously, the driver of the black Audi was terrible at parking. He or she must have accidentally hit Xyla’s car when reversing. “We’ll go inside to queue first,” the maid’s mother said. “Alright. I’ll be right over.” Xyla smiled. Subseq

“Since they’re your family, you should teach them how to get a number using the ticket machine. This is the most basic thing, duh. Can’t you see we’re all very busy? Don’t bring more trouble to us, please,” the beautiful woman complained heartlessly. Judging from Xyla Quest’s soft and fragile appearance, the beautiful woman deduced that she was an excellent target to bully. “If everyone can do everything themselves, why do we need you here?” Xyla jabbed. “Get a number or get lost. What a troubled lady.” Once again, the beautiful woman snorted. Her terrible attitude had triggered Xyla. Xyla had been to the bank countless times ever since she was a kid. However, this was her first time encountering such a rude worker. Raw anger thrummed through her veins, her resentment quickening her blood. Noticing that Xyla’s face turned gloomy, the maid’s mother immediately held her hand and calmed her down. “Forget it. Let’s do it ourselves.”Xyla hated people who disrespected the elder

She was frozen to the spot when she saw the number of zeros on the computer screen. She was even more startled when she saw the name on the account. Xyla Quest. She seemed to have heard before that Xyla was Quest Property Group’s heir and Dragon Group’s young mistress!Judging from the amount she had in her bank account, the bank teller was convinced that her memory did not fail her. Who would have so much money if she was not the Xyla on the news? The bank teller stole a glance at Xyla’s face. Yes, she was right. The lady in front of her was indeed Xyla. She totally did not expect a rich woman like her to dress like that. She was supposed to wear some branded clothes and carry a branded handbag, wasn’t she? Why did she not do that? She was too humble!“Miss Quest, are you sure you want to take out all the money here? Three billion dollars?” the bank teller suddenly spoke in a respectful, courteous tone. The beautiful woman and the young couple, who were just about to
