Chapter 7
X Quest turned around calmly. “What is it?”
A long time ago, this man used to be like a religion to her. Her heart would pound whenever she
saw him.
However, when X looked at Tom’s face now, she felt nothing else but disgust and hatred.
Tom quickly approached X and tried to reach for her hand.
However, X immediately avoided his touch and took a step back. “You can talk to me, but do not
touch me.” She frowned.
“X, I’ve given it a serious thought. I don’t care if you did all of that. I’m ready to forgive you. Even
if you did it, consider it an act of revenge for how I hurt you in the past. It’s all fine. X, will you
please give me a second chance?” Tom Sullivan sounded very eager.
Chuckle. ‘Can this man be more of a jerk?’
“Have you heard of a discounted key? You’re not even worth the price.” X looked at him coldly
while she snapped her fingers together.
Tom was not used to her cold rejection and proud attitude.
“X… You didn’t used to be like this.” In the past, X would forgive him no matter how upset she
became as long as he spoke to her nicely.
However, the more X behaved in this way, the more Tom liked her and wanted to have her.
Now that X had be an idol to tens of thousands of people, she was apletely different
person from the fat woman she used to be.
It was human nature to want something one could not have.
While the two were speaking, the sound of car engines revving could be heard.
Ten limited edition luxury cars stopped in front of X, making her feel confused.
What was going on?
Tom seemed equally confused.
Very soon, a group of young men got out of their respective cars with bouquets of flowers in their
hands.
As soon as they got out of their cars, they surrounded X and pushed Tom out of the way.
“Miss Quest, these are flowers from the heir of Logan Wine Group. He asked me to tell you that he
admires you a lot.”
“These are flowers from the heir of Glorious Century Jewelry. He says that he likes you a lot.”
“These are flowers from the heir of Meiji Group. He says that he wishes to be your friend.”
The young men eagerly told X about the people who sent her those flowers.
Each of those names belonged to influential people in Antis and, in fact, the entire country.
Before X could react, they had shoved the flowers into her arms.
Once her hands were full, the remaining flowers were left on the cobblestone ground in front of her.
After that, they quickly slipped away for fear that she might refuse to ept the flowers.
Right then, Tom was in a state of utter shock. Most of the heirs who sent the flowers were even
more powerful than him. In fact, some of them were people the Sullivan family could only dream of
getting close to.
The woman Tom had abandoned before had now be the brightest star in the sky. Most people
could only admire her from afar.
After looking down at the flowers in her hands and those around her on the ground, X finally
looked at Tom’s face. “Mr. Sullivan, people have to line up to ask me out now. Also, I do not ept
recycled goods.”
Emily Quest, who was hiding behind the door, saw everything that happened.
She was jealous of both the things Tom said to X and the people who came to deliver flowers to
X.
To stop Tom from continuing the conversation with X, Emily hurriedly walked over to Tom. She
forced a smile on her face before wrapping her hand around Tom’s. “Brother Sullivan, what are you
talking about with X?”
“It’s none of your business.” Tom pulled his hand away and returned to the house.
His cold attitude made Emily feel extremely unhappy. In fact, she wished she could peel X’s skin.
With her fists balled up, Emily turned to look at X. “I’m warning you to stay away from my Brother
Sullivan.”
X could not even be bothered to look at Emily. Instead, she turned to face the gardeners around
her. “Take these flowers inside…”
After finishing her sentence, X got into her Maserati and drove away.

X Quest drove her red Maserati all the way to Antis’ shopping haven, Goldfield za.
Once she arrived, she headed directly over to Chanel’s counter.
As soon as she walked in, X set her eyes upon a white winter coat.
After touching it to check how it felt, she was about to ask a shopping assistant to get one for her to
try on when another hand reached for the coat. The person’s nails were painted with a thickyer of
red paint.
X immediately turned to look at the person.
She was none other than Tom Sullivan’s little sister, who was also Emily Quest’s best friend, and the
third daughter of the Sullivan family, Mary Sullivan.
Mary also happened to be the most annoying brat among the siblings.
In nicer terms, she was a courageous person. Frankly, one might say that she was brainless.
Due to Mary’s tight rtionship with Emily since they were young, X had never liked her.
Therefore, when X saw Mary right now, she felt annoyed immediately.
When Mary saw X, her facial expression instantly turned cold. “How dare you show up here
when you’ve put my brother and Emily in such a terrible position?”
“I haven’t done anything wrong. Why shouldn’t I?” X asked calmly.
“You have clearly done something bad, and you are still denyng it. Let me teach you a lesson on
behalf of my brother and Emily!
“You used to be extremely ugly. So what if my brother dumped you? He is such a wonderful person.
Emily deserves him more than you do.”
Mary was speaking through gritted teeth. Her facial expression was horrendous.
However, X could not be bothered to even look at Mary. X proceeded to point at the winter
coat. “Moss, do you mind grabbing this for me to try on?”
Mary felt unusually angry after being ignoredpletely by X. “How dare you ignore me, you
b*tch? Who the hell do you think you are?”
As soon as Mary spoke, she raised her hand to X’s face.
However, X responded in time to avoid the p. In the end, Mary tripped and fell against a rack
of clothes nearby.
Suddenly, the rack toppled over and caused clothes to scatter all over the ground. The entire
section of the shopping mall becamepletely silent.
Those who were leisurely walking outside heard the sound and began to gather around them.
Meanwhile, the shopping assistant had already respectfully handed the coat X asked for to her.
Once X received the coat, she put it against herself in front of a mirror before handing it to the
shopping assistant and her credit card. “You may swipe the card.”
X made it seem as if she had not seen or heard what happened behind her.
When Mary noticed that there were a lot of people staring at her, she felt deeply embarrassed.
However, when she saw how calm X seemed, her anger returned. She charged toward X from
behind. “X, are you out of your mind?”
However, X pretended as if she had not even heard Mary as she walked over to the cashier and
proceeded with the payment.
“X Quest! Are you deaf?” Mary shouted angrily.
Right then, Stanley Batton and a group of managerial staff of the shopping mall were walking down
the esctor and had happened to witness what took ce. Stanley’s face grew several degrees
colder.
A part of his wrist was revealed with his white sleeves rolled up halfway, making him appear
somewhat casual but still noble at the same time.
Meanwhile, his ck tuxedo pants were without a trace of wrinkles, entuating his unusually long
legs.
Right then, Stanley seemed as if he were a prince who had just gone to a feast with the king and
was now making his way downstairs. Anyone, regardless of their gender, would stare at him when
they passed by.
When Zack Cassidy, Stanley’s personal assistant, saw this scene unfold, he seemed stunned. “Isn’t
this…”
“I don’t want to see that woman who looks like a ghost again,” Stanley said calmly as he red
coldly at Mary.
However, he did not stay around. Instead, he continued to walk down the esctor with the
entourage behind him.
Zack Cassidy immediately waved at two security guards nearby. “Come with me…”
