Chapter 47
When May Conner saw what Emily Quest did, she immediately snatched the wine ss away from
Emily. May tapped Emily on her arm. “My child, are you mad? Since you are pretending to be
pregnant, you should act the part. Why are you drinking? What if your dad or other people see
you?”
Emily frowned unhappily before she looked around. “It’ste already. Everyone has gone to sleep.
Who would see me? Besides, I’m not that unlucky.”
“Please be careful!” May said seriously.
“I know,” Emily snorted coldly. She appeared fully confident.
Outside, a red Maserati came to a halt in the courtyard. Exhausted, X Quest gave her forehead a
pinch before she unbuckled her seatbelt.
However, instead of getting out of the car immediately, she plopped down into her seat and zoned
out.
Ever since the preparations for the propertyunch started, she had been working overtime. She
continuously motivated herself to keep working hard. Now that she had aplished her goal and
waspletely exhausted, she appeared almost like a deted balloon.
Since the sales went very well today, she had celebrated with her team. After drinking a tad bit too
much, she was feeling a little tipsy right now.
After some time, X finally dragged herself exhaustedly into the house.
As soon as she walked in, Emily and May rolled their eyes at her.
The red lipstick stain on the wine ss above the coffee table caught X’s eyes. After her gaze
lingered for a moment on the lipstick stain, X turned to look at Emily’s red lips. Without saying a
word, Xya proceeded to walk upstairs directly.
Right then, Jeremy Quest walked down the stairs excitedly. When he saw X, he immediately
hastened his footsteps to approach her and pped her on her shoulder. “X, you did amazing
today. You made me very proud. A lot of my friends even called me on the phone to give you
compliments.”
When May and Emily heard Jeremy’spliments, they felt even more jealous. They both felt the
urge to tear X apart right then.

“Dad, you speak too highly of me.” X chuckled.
“Since you’ve performed this well, you can take over the general manager’s role at thepany
headquarters’ sales department once the units in this property development are sold out,” Jeremy
added.
When Emily heard this, she immediately stood up. “Dad, aren’t you being unfair? Up until now, I still
haven’t been able to step foot into thepany. On the other hand, X has merely aplished
a small feat, and you have already decided to let her move into the headquarters. You have even
offered her the important position of general manager of the sales department.”
“I’ve told you before that you will have nothing to do with mypany. I told you to forget about it.
Don’t you understand?
“Also, do you think what your sister aplished is a small feat? Why don’t you show me that you
are capable of doing the same thing?
“Apart from being jealous of your sister and embarrassing me, what else are you capable of? Didn’t
you say that you would broadcast yourself doing a headstand if your sister manages to sell half of
the units?
“Hurry up and do it. Why are you still making so much noise here? You are extremely annoying,”
Jeremy said mercilessly.
Right then, Emily was speechless.
In the face of Jeremy’s increasingly harsh words, Emily felt as if she would start crying soon.
Now, Emily could feel as if Jeremy no longer loved her at all because of the way he treated her.
Ever since X returned, her Dad had changed! Dad did not use to be like this!
“When are you going to broadcast yourself doing a handstand? Please inform me. I would like to
see it.” X chuckled yfully.
At that moment, Emily felt the urge to insult X. However, she had neither the courage nor the
power to do so. Despite the anger she was feeling, she had to keep it to herself.
While Emily’s face turned red, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
Sensing things were going awry, May quickly stepped forward and pulled Emily behind her
protectively. “Alright, darling, don’t be angry. Emily is still a child.”
