Chapter 196


    Emily Quest red coldly at X Quest and Stanley Batton before tugging at Tom Sullivan’s arm.


    She wanted to join Jeremy Quest and May Conner in greeting the other guests with a toast.


    However, Tom did not intend to leave. Silently, he stood and looked in X and Stanley’s direction


    with mixed feelings.


    The couple with near-perfect looks were holding hands. Tom was pained by the sight of them


    standing together and attracting everyone’s attention around them.


    After not seeing X for a long time, Tom found that she had be a lot prettier. Although X


    barely had any make-up on, she seemed a lot more strikingly beautiful than Emily.


    Whenever Tom thought about how the woman he cared about might have hurt him, his eyes would


    turn cold. Now, he clenched his fists tightly.


    If X threw tantrums, Tom might have been able to bear with her. However, if she hurt him at a


    deeper level, he would not bear with it.


    If X really was the one who did those things to him, he swore he would never let her off the hook.


    While scanning through the crowd, X’s gaze eventuallynded upon Tom’s face. When their eyes


    met, X felt physically ufortable after seeing his cold gaze.


    Although she knew what the look on his face meant, she did not care at all.


    X knew what the Sullivan family had been investigating recently.


    However, X continued to hold Stanley’s hand without changing her facial expression before


    walking over politely to Jeremy.


    “Dad, we’re here,” she said with a smile.

    “X, Stanley, there are all my business partners. Say hello to your uncles and aunties,” Jeremy


    said proudly as he held X and Stanley’s hands.


    “This is my eldest daughter and her husband. You’ve all met them before,” Jeremy looked at the


    people seated around the table.


    Since X and Stanley were the best-looking couples there, they attracted people’s attention


    wherever they went.


    “Uncles and aunties, nice to meet you,” X said.


    “Nice to meet you,” Stanley said as he nodded politely at the group of people.


    “X, your husband looks very aplished,” one of the middle-aged women said without taking


    her eyes off Stanley.


    “Yeah, I was there when Emily got married. I saw how your husband checked someone’s pulse. He


    seemed very professional,” another middle-aged womanplimented.


    When her wedding was mentioned, Emily and Tom’s expressions immediately turned cold.


    Due to the various adverse events surrounding their wedding, it had be something the two of


    them wanted to avoid talking about.


    Sensing that Emily and Tom were clearly upset, the woman awkwardly cleared her throat before


    changing the topic.


    “Mr. Quest, you really are lucky that both your daughters are married to sessful men,” she said


    with augh.


    “Haha… Not at all,” Jeremy said humbly.


    “X, this dress looks really good on you. I love it,” May said after walking over to X and circling


    her hands around X’s arm.


    “Elder sister, Brother-inw, you are here. Your outfits seem to be a great match,” Emily said warmly


    as she looked at X and Stanley.


    Since X was not used to this kind of attitude, which they rarely exhibited, she felt goosebumps all


    over her body.


    Although this seemed odd, it was all within X’s expectations. After how her father dealt with these


    two women, they naturally had to pretend to be obedient in front of him.


    When Jeremy saw how Emil and May behaved, he smiled satisfactorily. Meanwhile, Tom nodded


    politely at X and Stanley without saying a word. He seemed very cold and distant.


    “Yeah,” X nodded at them politely.


    Likewise, Stanley nodded at them politely without saying anything.
