Chapter 3
After the engagement ceremony ended in Silver International Hotel’s high-ss dining hall, Emily
Quest and Tom Sullivan joyfully followed behind their parents as they approached each table to
raise their sses.
However, wherever they went, people rolled their eyes at them after they had walked away.-
Unfortunately, the Quest family and the Sullivan family were clueless about what had happened,
and they kept a smile on their faces.
Meanwhile, Emily Quest, who had a lot of make-up on her face, was smiling from ear to ear. She
seemed proud of herself, no doubt entuated by the long, red gown with an alluring tube top.
The Sullivan family owned a foodpany that ranked top five in the world. Compared to the Quest
family and the other famous women and their families, the Sullivan family was financially much
better positioned.
As the fiancée of the Sullivan family, Emily would undoubtedly make everyone in the circle of
famous women jealous.
Meanwhile, the fact that Tom Sullivan had managed to get rid of X Quest, the fat woman, and
gotten engaged with the truly rich and beautiful Emily Quest made her feel even more joyful.
The rich housewives, who had already found out about the news on the inte, were gossiping
about Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan behind their backs.
“I’ve said it before that Emily Quest looks like a b*tch. See what I mean? It’s been proven.”
“Tom Sullivan looks like a gentleman. How could he be such a jerk? You really can’t judge a book by
its cover.”
“My heart goes out to X Quest. Although she does look a little hideous, she is a kind person.
Unfortunately, she developed feelings for the wrong person.”
As soon as X Quest walked in the door, she locked her gaze on Tom Sullivan and the Quest
family. When she saw how pleased Emily Quest looked, she was certain that the couple was still
unaware of what had happened.
X felt secretly happy that the couple had no idea they were being stabbed at behind their backs.
Dressed in a champagne-colored evening gown, X Quest stood out from the crowd. With her
long ck hair curled around her shoulders, she portrayed the qualities of elegance, style, and
nobility.
Even with a simpleyer of foundation on her face, she was already indescribably beautiful. It felt as
if a woman like her should always stay in a clean ce. Any sort of touch by another person would
be considered contamination of her purity.
Very soon, several men approached X and introduced themselves as theyplimented her for
her beauty and asked her where she was from.
After five years since shest experienced this, X had mixed feelings about it.
Calmly, she smiled at them and lifted her gown slightly before walking elegantly over to Tom
Sullivan and Emily Quest.
However, as soon as Tom Sullivan set his eyes upon her, he stopped breathing and seemed terribly
shocked.
Who was this? X… X Quest?
Was she not the unimaginably fat woman? How had she be this good-looking now?
Tom Sullivan could not take his eyes off her.
Clearly, she had only put on an evening gown and barely had any make-up on her. In fact, she did
not even wear any other essories.
Effortlessly, she outshone Emily, who had plenty of make-up on her. X was now the center of
attention of all males in the room.
Although Emily was pretty, she did not have intricate facial features, and there was something about
her that made her quite in.
However, X was different. She was pretty from head to toe.
Like a work of art given extra attention by god’s hand, X was pretty but not fragile, almost like a
fairy who was paying a visit to the human realm.
Tom Sullivan suddenly felt a sense of regret wash over him. If he had known she could recover her
former beauty, he would not have dumped her.
Parents of both the Quest family and the Sullivan family seemed equally shocked.
Jeremy Quest stared at his beautiful and favorite daughter in disbelief. “X, is it really you? Where
have you been for the past three years? Why didn’t you keep in touch with your family? And how
did you transform into this state?”
Although Jeremy Quest heard that X might have eloped with someone else, he did not believe
that was true because he understood his daughter very well…
When X saw how emotional her father seemed, she felt very guilty.
Back then, to focus on her recovery, X did not even contact her father.
“Dad, it’s a long story. Let’s talk about it when we get home,” X answered.
Jeremy nodded repeatedly. “Okay… Okay… Okay.”
“X, you’ve returned…” Tom Sullivan’s eyes were still locked on her as his hands trembled slightly
by his side.
If a woman were described as a flower, X would be a pure and noble white peony while Emily
Quest was a wild rose.
After not seeing a white peony for some time, a man might be attracted to a wild rose.
However, once a white peony came along, a wild rose would hold no meaning.
Tom Sullivan’s reaction made Emily bubble in rage.
At that moment, Emily was reminded of the period when X’s beauty kept her in the dark.
Back in those days, Tom Sullivan and all the wealthy men in Antis only had eyes for X. None of
them took notice of the second child of the Quest family, Emily Quest.
The strong feeling of jealousy nearly caused Emily’s knuckles to make a cracking sound from how
tightly she was squeezing them.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
How could X regain her beauty? How was it possible?
X calmly looked at Tom Sullivan. The look in his eyes made her feel disgusted.
This man was truly disgusting.
By then, many people noticed what was going on here and hence gathered around them.
“Yeah. I heard about your engagementst night when I returned to the country. That’s why I have
decided toe here to convey my good wishes.” X appeared very calm and unemotional.
Her attitude made Tom Sullivan feel extremely disappointed. In the past, she used to be at his feet
because he used to be her entire world.
However, things were different now, and Tom Sullivan was finding it difficult to ept the dent in his
ego.
“Oh my god. X Quest has be pretty once more. Emily Quest pales inparison.”
“They have already treated X in such a way, X could still wish them well with a smile on her
face. What a big heart thatdy has.”
“Not only does Emily Quest look less beautiful than X Quest, but she also has a significantly
worse attitude than X.”
Emily felt her ego was under attack by the whispering voices of people around her. Right then, all
she could feel was anger.
Wait a minute. What were the people referring to when they talked about how Emily Quest and Tom
Sullivan treated X Quest? Whatever happened between the three, nobody else should have
found out.
“What nonsense are you all talking about?” Emily Quest asked as she red at the people who
looked at her with sarcastic gazes.
“Have a look at the most popr topic on the inte yourself,” someone in the crowd said.
Emily immediately opened Weibo and searched for the most popr topic on the inte.
Instantly, Emily, Tom, and their parents were all shocked.
“What the hell is going on? Emily, give me an exnation! Didn’t you and Tom Sullivan get together
after X had left? Have you been lying to me all along?” Jeremy Quest looked visibly upset.
“Alright, darling, let’s talk about this when we get home. Do you think our family isn’t embarrassed
enough?” May Conner tugged at Jeremy Quest’s hand as she uttered softly.
On top of everyone’s spiteful stares and the dirty gossip on the inte, Emily felt deeply ashamed.
Did that mean the guests here had known about this all along?
If that were the case, Emily and Tom must have been making a fool of themselves when they raised
their sses.
The more Emily thought about this, the more embarrassed she felt.
Meanwhile, X seemedpletely disengaged as she stood nearby.
Emily highly suspected that X was the one behind all this. Why was it such a coincidence that
this happened when X returned?
Without hesitating, Emily Quest grabbed X Quest by her wrist and pulled her to the walkway’s
end.
“Are you the one who did all this? You are truly shameless for doing this as soon as you returned.
Was it your n to make me miserable all along?” Emily asked through gritted teeth.
Angered, Emily raised her hand, readz to p X.
