Chapter 194
When Stanley Batton asked the question, X Quest immediately knew what he was trying to say.
“What do you think?” She asked softly as she smiled.
Indeed, Stanley was a smart person. It exined why he could work for his big brother as an
important member of the gang.
“I think the same as you do,” Stanley said calmly. He was twirling his fingers around through the
smoke.
“How do you know what I’m thinking?” X asked.
After that, X turned the car around with a seemingly trained motion as she spun the steering
wheel and ced one hand against the car’s window frame.
The way she was driving made her seem both beautiful and cool.
“That’s because you are very smart,” he said.
“You are also very smart. After all, you work for your big brother in a gang,” X said.
“What are you going to do next?” Stanley asked after taking another puff from the cigarette. With the
smoke wafting in front of his face, it was getting difficult to see clearly his facial expression.
“Investigate,” X answered.
“Do you need help?” He asked calmly.
“What can you help me with?” X asked.
“I’ve been on this path for a long time. At least I know some people,” Stanley said before flicking
some ash out of the window naturally.
“Thanks, I think I’ll be fine on my own. However, I think there would be some difficulties along the
way,” X said confidently.
If May Conner intended to make the tables turn by making such sacrifices, she must have already
nned the perfect storyline before acting.
May would not make it easy for anyone to expose her.
Before the truth came out, May and Emily Quest would be able to prance around happily for a while.
“Beep, beep, beep—” Right then, Jeremy Quest gave X a call.
“X, go to work at the headquarters from tomorrow onward. I’ve already handed over the position
of the sales manager to you. Please keep an eye on things in thepany after you start working. I
might have to look after your aunt for the next couple of days and won’t be able to return to the
office,” Jeremy said decisively.
“Okay,” X said.

In the days which followed, everything went as X had expected.

The culprit was still not caught.
Not a single clue could be found about the case.
Meanwhile, May was able to convince Jeremy to forgive her and Emilypletely by acting victim.
In fact, she had even persuaded Jeremy to give her a vi in the city center.
May had managed to re-establish her position in the family.
Meanwhile, Emily seemed to be much livelier around the house. In fact, X began seeing Emily
show up at her mother’s house a lot more frequently. Emily was always pretending to be an
obedient girl in front of Jeremy.
asionally, X could even hear the family’s joyfulughter from her balcony.
As time went on, Tom Sullivan’s release from prison soon approached. Emily and her mother were
overjoyed.
However, X was so upied that she did not have the time nor energy to think about their
rtionship with her father. Instead, X asked Georgie Clementine to follow up with the police
regarding the results of the investigation.
Since it was getting to the end of the year, X had a lot of work to handle in X Entertainment as
well as Quest Group. It was beginning to wear her down.
On one fine day, X received a call from Jeremy when she got out from the Quest Group’s
headquarters.
X picked up the call before quickly getting into her red Maserati.
“Hey, Dad,” she said.
“X, do you remember that Tom was released from prison two days ago? Your aunt said that they
couldn’t have a proper weing party because he was locked in there. Therefore, she wants to
throw another weing party the day after tomorrow. When the timees, we will be doing it at
home. Some family members and close friends will be invited,” Jeremy said.
“Okay,” Emily said calmly.
“I know you don’t like Emily much. However, she is still your little sister. A lot of friends and family
will be there. It won’t look good if you don’t show up. What do you think?” Jeremy asked.
