Chapter 4


    When Emily Quest’s hand moved downward, X Quest quickly grabbed Emily’s hand and stared


    right into her eyes. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”


    When Emily caught sight of X’s eyes, she shivered.-


    Emily felt that X had changed.


    Although X’s physical appearance was the same as before, she felt somewhat more heartless.


    “X Quest, stop denying it. You are only pretending to be calm today. In actual fact, you are


    extremely hurt that I got engaged to the man you love the most.


    “You’re just jealous that Brother Sullivan and I are in love with each other. That’s why you’re doing


    all this to destroy my life.”


    X could not help butugh coldly.


    What a joke. Was she jealous? Did an a**hole like Tom Sullivan even deserve her?


    “What are youughing at? Do my words ring true? Is that why you are speechless?” Emily asked.


    “Emily Quest, you are the only one who could be happy about being married to a trashy person. You


    think everyone in the world would be jealous of you.” X felt that Emily was an absolute joke.


    Right then, Tom Sullivan happened to have walked out of the door and overheard X’s words. He


    immediately felt hurt.


    ‘Trashy person?’


    Did X not use to worship him like an idol? She would talk about getting married to him all day and


    wanting to give him many children.


    “Keep pretending. I wonder who has always dreamt about being married to Brother Sullivan,” Emily


    countered.


    “Like you said, it was in the past,” X said.


    “You… I don’t care what you say. I am certain you are the one who did this! If it’s not out of jealousy,


    it’s out of hate!”


    “Show me the proof then,” X said calmly.


    “I don’t need proof. I’ll kill you right now, you evil woman.” Emily reached out toward X ’s neck.


    In an agile movement, X managed to dodge the attack. As a result, Emily slipped and fell to the


    ground.


    “That’s enough!” Tom called out before hurrying over to Emily to help her up. However, his eyes


    never left X’s body.


    The look in his eyes made Emily feel even more jealous. “Brother Sullivan, X Quest is bullying


    me.”


    “X Quest, we once loved each other after all. Must you force me into a dead end? Can’t we talk


    about this?” Tom seemed unhappy.


    “Tom Sullivan, did you hear about it or see it with your own eyes? If you don’t have proof, keep your


    mouth shut. Even if I was the one who did it, what right do you have to question me about it?” X


    felt disgusted that she used to love a man like this.


    As soon as X finished her sentence, she lifted her gown a little and walked away.


    Feeling insulted, Tom could not find the words to express himself. Whatever X said was


    irrefutable.


    “Why are you still standing there? Get someone to catch her and beat her up. It must be her who


    did it!” Emily eximed.


    “That’s enough! Do you have proof? Can you grow some brains?” Tom was already mad and could


    find no other way to vent his emotions. As such, Emily naturally became his punching bag.


    Although Emily had wanted to insult him in return, she stomped her feet and remained quiet.


    As soon as X entered the elevator, she received a call from Georgie Clementine. “President X,


    haven’t you always wanted to sign Josh Batton onto ourbel? I just received news that he won’t be


    renewing his contract with his existingpany. Hence, I have invited him for a meeting at eight


    o’clock tonight in the Southern Misty Lake Room of Dreand Hotel.”


    “Got it.”


    After hanging up, X received a call from Jeremy Quest. “X,e home after an hour. We


    need to talk.” His voice sounded a little cold.


    ***


    When X Quest entered the house, there was a gloomy ambiance inside.


    Jeremy Quest sat on the couch with a sullen expression on his face while Emily Quest continued to


    cry with her knees on the ground.


    May Conner sat next to Jeremy Quest. “Darling, I believe Emily was just blinded by love. We can


    talk about this in the future,” she said carefully.


    “Right now, X Quest should be the person you are most mad at.


    “After all, even if Emily was in the wrong, X Quest shouldn’t have done something like that to put


    our family to shame. Isn’t that right?” May Conner asked.


    In her usual manner, X nced at May Conner before approaching her. “Aunty, you really do


    know what to say. Can you really justify seducing one’s elder sister’s fiancé as being blinded by


    love?”


    May was speechless.


    “X, is what Emily said true? Did you n all of this?


    “Even if your little sister did something deserving of insult, you should not expose the family like


    that.


    “Didn’t you think that it would put the Quest family to shame?” Jeremy Quest seemed extremely


    upset.


    Due to what happened between Emily, X, and Tom, the Quest family and the Sullivan family had


    be the biggest joke in the country. How could Jeremy not be mad?


    “It wasn’t me,” X exined. “How would you know if it wasn’t a rival of the Sullivan family who did


    it? The Sullivan family members all have terrible personalities. Am I the only one who would make


    enemies?”


    From the look in X’s eyes, Jeremy felt that she was telling the truth.


    “It is you! The timing is too coincidental! Dad, don’t listen to X’s bullsh*t,” Emily mumbled.


    “Darling, the Sullivan family is already investigating the matter. I believe they will get to the bottom


    of this very soon. The b*tch who did this will be taken care of by the Sullivan family.” May red at


    X.


    Although X knew that May was directing those words at her, she could not be less bothered.


    ‘Investigate? How could they possibly find anything?’


    After all, the news had been leaked by an internal staff member of Weibo. What would their


    investigations lead to? The original ount which spread the story had a fake IP address anyway.


    “Emily Quest, I’ve already overlooked the fact that you seduced my fiancé and intentionally


    contacted me through a video call to broadcast your acts of intimacy. Can’t you just be quiet for a


    moment?” X added.


    “What?” Jeremy was enraged.


    He was shocked by what he heard. It exined why X had disappeared for three years. Who


    could possibly tolerate such behavior when they observed it happen before their eyes?


    “Yes. Even so, Big Sister shouldn’t…”


    “Shut up. If you say another word, I will punish you in my own way.” Jeremy raised his voice. “Do


    you really think you can justify seducing your big sister’s man?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “She didn’t stop at seducing my man. After the video call ended, I went looking for them. She even


    stepped on my stomach and my face along with Tom. They physically abused me.” X snorted


    coldly.


    Jeremy felt even more shocked. His heart went out to X.


    How much pain did X go through back then?


    Jeremy never thought that Emily and Tom could be this evil.


    “Of course, that’s not all…”


    After that, X Quest took a few paper sheets from her ck Hermes purse and handed them over


    to Jeremy.
