Chapter 39


    X Quest stopped thinking about it as she focused her attention on work once more after putting


    her phone down.


    Meanwhile, in the Dragon Group CEO’s office, Stanley Batton leanedzily against his revolving


    chair as he looked at X’s social media page.


    With a look of focus on his face, he would asionally smile without realizing it.


    He was wearing only a white shirt and a necktie tucked neatly under his cor after taking his coat


    off. He seemed iparably noble.


    X’s social media page was rather interesting. Usually, she would share little things about her day,


    where she went, what she ate, and what mood she was in. In fact, she would even include a picture


    for each post.


    The words she used in the texts were usually heartwarming and uplifting.


    However, her posts only dated back to a month ago. After going through the posts from the current


    month, he came to an end.


    Therefore, he exited from her social media page. Afterward, he nced briefly at X’s messages,


    which prompted him to give her his bank ount number, before putting his phone down nearby.


    It seemed he had no intention of giving her his bank ount number.

    In the blink of an eye, it was now one day before Imperial Prime wasunched.


    At eight o’clock in the morning, X was finally done with nning for theunch. Exhausted, she


    dragged herself home.


    As soon as X walked through the front door, she saw Emily Quest cheerfully twirling about in a


    white wedding dress in the living room.


    Meanwhile, May Conner showed her thumbs to Emily. “My daughter really is beautiful…”


    Emily was wearing a slim-fit, tube-top inspired dress with a mermaid-style finish at the end. It


    perfectly entuated herrge breasts and perked buttocks while making her appear tall and sexy.


    Coupled with her thick make-up, Emily looked somewhat like a sl*t.


    When Emily saw X walking through the door, she walked up arrogantly to X. “Why are you


    home thiste? Is it because you are very nervous about theunch of the new property


    development project?” Emily asked with her chin lifted


    “Rightfully so. After all, if you don’t perform well, Dad will have a bad impression of you.


    “To be honest, it’s not really the best of times for the property market. It’s impossible to create a


    sales miracle.


    “What do you think will happen if you screw up this project?”


    Emily was speaking as if X had already lost.


    It made X furious on the inside.


    However, X was too tired to even talk to Emily. She chose to walk around Emily to get upstairs.


    However, Emily would not have any of it.


    Being ignored made Emily even angrier. As such, Emily immediately turned around to stand in


    X’s way. “Until now, you have only announced that there would be a special promotion for the


    property, and nothing else has been announced. I bet not many people would show up. Even if you


    managed to get Josh Batton as the ambassador, it would still not be effective.


    “After all, with eight million dors, the person you hired would only be willing to shoot a video as


    part of advertising for the property development project.


    “It’s impossible to expect the ambassador to show up during theunch. In order to make Dad


    happy, you signed Josh Batton with eight million dors. Do you regret it now?


    “Don’t you wish you offered Josh Batton a little more money? He might have at least agreed to


    show up to theunch to help with promoting.”


    The things Emily said sounded increasingly terrible. Now, Emily was certain that Josh Batton would


    not go to theunch. If he was going, it would have been announced way earlier.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    “What if Josh Batton ends up going? Wouldn’t you be deeply embarrassed?” X could not resist


    insulting Emily.


    “Haha… the sun is already up. Why are you still speaking as if you are in a dream?” Emily rolled her


    eyes at X.
