Chapter 58


    “Okay, hurry on home.”


    Having said that, Stanley braced the snow and walked swiftly to the roadside. The streetlights


    elongated his shadow. Watching him go, X immediately felt a surge of warmth in her heart.


    Taking off the coat, she quickly chased after him and stuffed it into his hands. “Put this on. I’m not


    cold. Why don’t I send you back? There’s no need to trouble your friend.”


    “My friend will be here soon,” he said as he prepared to drape the coat over her shoulders again.


    X nimbly dodged away before quickly running to her red Maserati, not giving him any chances.


    Staring at that slender silhouette, Stanley’s cold lips gradually curved upward slightly. After X got


    into her car, she disappeared into the night.


    A little while after she left, a row of ck Rolls Royces stopped steadily in front of Stanley. Zack


    could immediately be seen leading a group of ck-clothed men as they stood respectfully in front


    of Stanley, bowing.


    Zack opened a car door for Stanley, who gave him an indifferent nce before gracefully getting in.


    Leaning against the soft genuine ck leather backrest, he folded his legs and flipped through


    ‘Foundation in Medicine’.


    Zack quickly got in. Upon seeing the book in Stanley’s hands, Zack’s gaze was filled with confusion.


    “Fifth Master, why are you reading that?”


    “Someone told me to read it properly,” replied Stanley. His expression remained indifferent.


    Zack looked curious. “Was it the Young Mistress?”


    “Yeah.”


    “But uhm…”


    “Shut up.”


    Zack kept quiet. Daring to say no more, he silently started the car and mused to himself, ‘Since


    when did our Fifth Master be so obedient? To the point that he’s actually reading what


    someone told him to read.’

    When X returned to Quest Manor, her phone started vibrating. After stopping the car at the


    entrance, she nced at her phone.


    ‘Shocking news! ording to an insider, there are quality issues with Imperial Prime, the real estate


    development by Quest Property. Corners were cut during construction!’


    X’s pupils immediately dted at this headline. Properties by the Quest family never had such a


    problem. The construction sites were always supervised by professional workers. Her father had


    brought people to Imperial Prime’s construction site countless times, and there had been no


    problems.


    X had great confidence in their family’s real estate developments. Now that something this vulgar


    broke out so suddenly, she could only think of two possibilities.


    One, the Quest familypetitors were trying to attack them by stirring things up. Two, someone


    was trying to mess with her, preventing her frompleting the task her father had assigned her. It


    was a no-brainer as to who this person would be.


    She immediately went on Weibo to look at thetest searches. Sure enough, ‘Imperial Prime quality


    issue’ was number two on the list. That scandalous issue about Emily was still at number one.


    As soon as X clicked into the news report, a slew of reproaches entered her view.


    ‘Is what the Quest family doing humane? How could they cut corners in something like this, are they


    mad? How can Josh Batton endorse such a thing? Are they crazy?’
