    Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with


    these dishes.

    By the time X Quest returned home, a thickyer of snow had already covered the courtyard


    floor.


    Meanwhile, there wererge rednterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.


    After quickly getting the car parked, X hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house.


    As soon as she walked in, she was greeted with warm air that reced the chill in her body.


    In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour


    looks on their faces.


    An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It


    seemed an intense fight had urred earlier.


    Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in therge space that the sound of a


    needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.


    The air seemed heavy and stuffy.


    Everything had happened exactly as X had imagined.


    “X, you are home…” Jeremy said. The coldness on his face slowly disappeared.


    “Yeah,” X slowly walked forward.


    The fingerprints on her face seemed unusually clear under the light. Right then, the bruise had


    be very apparent and made it seem much more serious than it was.

    When Jeremy saw how badly her daughter was hit, he became even angrier.


    “Does your face still hurt?” Jeremy asked worriedly.


    “It’s not too bad,” X answered.


    “Have a seat,” Jeremy reached for X’s hand and pulled her close to him.


    X sat right beside Jeremy.


    As soon as she sat down, she saw a divorce agreement on the coffee table.


    The words stood out to her.


    Without changing her facial expression, X scanned May’s face as if it was a passing gesture.


    “If you think the terms are appropriate, hurry up and get it signed. I’ve already thought clearly


    through this. I want a divorce,” Jeremy said as he red at May.


    Before this, he was still somewhat hesitant.


    However, after finding out that May attacked X, Jeremy stopped hesitatingpletely.


    There was no way he could keep this woman around because she was still not ready to change her


    ways.


    “No, please. Darling, I know I was wrong,” May immediately stood up and sat next to X and held


    her hand.


    “X, Aunty knows her mistakes. Please tell your father to change his mind,” May pleaded.


    “X, help Aunty, please. Won’t you do so? I promise I will treat you better from now on,” May cried


    out hoarsely.


    Clearly, she had already begged X’s father many times to no avail.


    The divorce was bound to happen.


    “I can’t decide whether the divorce happens or not. It all depends on Dad,” X said softly and


    calmly.


    After that, X gently pushed May’s hand away.


    ‘Begging for help?’ X thought.


    Ever since X was a kid, nothing May did make X feel the need to help her out.


    When May saw how X responded, she became even more upset.


    However, May resisted the urge to show her anger. Instead, she turned around and kneeled in front


    of Jeremy before pressing her palms together and rubbing them against each other repeatedly.


    “Darling, I really had no idea about what Emily did… You must believe me! Why would I do anything


    to harm our family business? As for hitting X, I only did it because I overreacted. I am willing to


    apologize to X until she forgives me. If there is anything wrong with how I acted before, I promise


    to change my ways. Darling, don’t do this to me, please? I’m very afraid,” May said as tears rolled


    down her cheeks.
