Chapter 48


    Jeremy Quest could not be bothered to respond to May Conner. Instead, he continued to look at


    X Quest affectionately. “X, go to bed. Oh, right. I have already transferred Emily’s five percent


    of shares to your ount.”


    “Okay. Thank you, Dad.” X chuckled as she stood on her tiptoes to give Jeremy a peck on his


    cheek. After that, she exhaustedly made her way upstairs.


    After Jeremy red at his wife and younger daughter, he walked upstairs in a huff.


    “If X Quest continues to stay in the limelight, the Quest family’s business will really end up in her


    hands!” Emily said frantically.


    “Therefore, we must do something more extreme to her.” May had a cunning look on her face.


    “I asked you to check on something before. How is it going?” May asked.


    “I’m still looking into it.”

    “Fifth Master, these are the receipts from Master Armstrong, Master Lakes, and Master Brenand.”


    Buried in a deep pile of work in front of his high-ss desk made of Narra wood, Stanley Batton


    slowly lifted his head to look at Zack Cassidy.


    Zack carefully pushed his golden-framed sses up his nose-bridge before quickly cing a bunch


    of receipts on the desk.


    “Why did they give me this?” Stanley frowned.


    “They probably wanted to show you proof that they bought the buildings,” Zack answered


    respectfully.


    “Throw them away.”


    “Yes.” Zack nodded.


    “This is the contract we signed for purchasing the property, along with the receipt. Please have a


    look.” Zack ced a thick, red folder in front of Stanley.


    “Got it. You may go out now.”


    After finishing his sentence, Stanley Batton shifted his gaze to his phone to continue reading a news


    article about theunch of Imperial Prime.


    When he made it to the end, he smiled a little. There was a look of approval in his eyes.


    Meanwhile, the city lights behind him shone brightly through the French window. Antis seemed as


    bright as the sun from this viewpoint.


    However, regardless of how pretty the scene looked, it would only ever serve as a backdrop in


    Stanley’s eyes.

    After an exhausting day, X sankfortably into her warm bubble bath and ced a moisturizing


    face mask over her face.


    Once she was done with the bath, shey down on her bed before taking her phone out and


    opening WeChat.


    Subconsciously, her gazended upon her conversation with Five Batton. However, thest


    message that came into view was still the previous message she sent, asking him to give her his


    bank ount number.


    After such a long time, he still had not replied to her.


    X could not help but murmur to herself, “This person is really weird.”


    Closely after that, she sent him another text. “???? Bank ount number.”


    However, he still did not respond.


    X frowned slightly. Weren’t most people who owed money these days usually older men? Why


    were things reversed in her case?


    As a debtor, X wondered why she needed to run after her creditor to pay the money back. Did


    this person hate money?


    After murmuring to herself, X sent Stanley another text message. “Hey, are you there?”


    After approximately five minutes, the man replied, “You don’t have to.”


    X was now feeling a little unhappy. “Why? Didn’t we agree on this?”


    “You were the one who gave me five hundred thousand dors in the first ce.”


    “That was a payment for you to keep what happened between us a secret.”


    “You don’t have to” he replied.
