Chapter 53
“He said he wanted to rely on himself,” said X.
Jeremy’s eyes were filled with approval. “He seems like a fine young man. Bring him home next
time so I can meet him.”
“Okay,” replied X, nodding.
Emily chimed in, “When?”
To find out whether or not X was lying, Emily would just have to interrogate her so-called
husband when the time came. If the man had no medical knowledge, that would mean he was lying.
X would be done for!
She firmly believed that the day when X would shoot herself in the foot was near.
“Why don’t you get Brother-inw toe to my wedding? It’s the wedding of your only sister,
there’s no reason for Brother-inw not to attend, right?” Emily pressed on, not giving X any
opportunity to drop the subject.
X answered casually, “Sure.”
“Alright then. I’ll be heading to thepany,” said Jeremy. He patted X’s hand affectionately
before leaving the house.
X had no time to spare for the mother-daughter duo either. She got up, about to go upstairs and
tidy up before heading to Imperial Prime for a spin, then to X Entertainment. Just as she was about
to stand, Emily viciously tugged her back onto the sofa.
She abruptly stood up and stared down at X with a look of disdain. “I’ll just wait for your lie to be
exposed at my wedding!”
X shook her head helplessly. She found Emily’s behavior to be both annoying and amusing.
“Even if what you said is true, I bet he’s an ugly toad! As far as I know, men who study medicine are
rarely good-looking. He’s not balding, is he? Or maybe he even smells like chemicals.”
As she spoke, Emily couldn’t hold back herughter.
“If thoughts like this make you happy, then be my guest,” replied an unbothered X as she made
her way upstairs.
Emily yelled after her, “Hahaha, he definitely won’t be more handsome than my Brother Sullivan
anyway…”
Tom Sullivan had a dignified aura and was handsome to boot. How could a cheap man studying
medicinepare to him? In the first ce, the temperament of an aristocrat was different from a
commoner’s.
X ignored her, letting Emily’s words simply flow in one ear and out the other.
When she got back to her room, she received a call from Georgie. As she looked at Georgie’s name
on the caller ID, she couldn’t help but think about how in sync they were. Here she was wanting to
call Georgie, and she had called her instead.
X immediately answered the call. “I was just about to call you. Let me borrow your brother for
Emily’s wedding. I need him to pretend to be Stanley Batton. Emily has done the impossible that we
previously talked about.”
Under these circumstances, it was impossible for her to get the real Stanley Batton, because he
definitely wouldn’t agree to y along.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
When X and Georgie discussed this previously, although they thought it was impossible back
then, they had still nned well and weaved the perfect story for that husband of hers. They even
gave him a believable identity.
Back then, Georgie had suggested that when the time came, she would get her little brother who
studies medicine to help y the role of Stanley Batton. Once the three years were up and X had
legally divorced Stanley, she would tell her father that rtionship discord was the reason for the
divorce.
They hade up with such a daring n out of curiosity about Stanley’s appearance. Georgie had
even tried to look him up, but there were no results.
Immediately after X spole, whimpering could be hearding from the other end of the call.
Throughout the time she had known Georgie, this kind of reaction was a first. Georgie was a strong,
independent woman, it seemed like nothing could ever break her down. Hardly anything could make
her cry either.
“Georgie, what’s wrong?” asked X anxiously.
Through her tears, Georgie managed to choke out, “My little brother is dead. I’m actually calling to
ask if I can take a week off. Is that okay?”
