Chapter 208


    “I found nothing yet,” answered a female voice from the other end.


    “Continue investigating! I’ve said that I will reward you with 1.5 million dors, now I’m offering you


    two million!” After that, she hung up.


    Then, she called Tom’s number again, but this time, the operator informed her that the number was


    invalid.


    She knew that Tom had blocked her number. She wanted to immediately return to the Sullivan


    manor, but knowing that the Sullivan family was currently livid, going back now would do her no


    good.


    Moreover, without knowing how things would develop and if she needed to return to prison, the best


    option was to run away.


    She would leave the rest to her mother and try to solve her own problems for now.


    At this thought, she began speedily packing her luggage, without any attention to pay to her dress


    that was now covered in blood.


    Even when packing her luggage, the image of how she got yed by X today kept resurfacing in


    her mind.


    With these thoughts, she couldn’t calm down. She got more irritated and more frenzied!


    “Ahhh!!!” she growled as she hastily folded her clothes.


    She was going mad! Really mad! Why did she have to be so unlucky?


    ***


    By the time X returned downstairs, everything was back to normal.


    Guests were eating at the tables while May greeted them like she was fine.


    From her behavior, it was as if nothing had happened. She was still wearing a bright smile.


    X was used to May Conner’s shamelessness.


    Hence, she shifted her gaze to that man.


    Even in a sea of people, she could spot him with just one nce.


    Everyone else talked to each other while only he sat alone, aloof and detached.


    His sitting posture was most proper out of everyone present. His actions were simr to that of a


    well-educated aristocrat.


    Many youngdies from tables beside him were staring at him, but he never gave them so much as


    a nce.


    Just then, he slowly lifted his head as his gaze fell on her face in the sea of people.


    He put his chopsticks down, and in front of everyone, strode over to her. He was staring only into


    her eyes.


    “Is everything taken care of?” he asked.


    “Yeah.” X nodded slightly. “Have you finished eating?”


    “Yeah,” he replied faintly.


    “Then, let’s take a seat inside my car to take a breather,” said X, then she lowered her head to


    send Georgie a WeChat message, ‘Proceed.’


    “Aren’t you going to eat?” Stanley asked.


    “I’ll eatter. I don’t have an appetite.”


    X smiled, holding the white fox fur coat tighter as she walked outside.


    The moment she turned, May coincidentally caught sight of her. Thetter’s expression immediately


    darkened as she kept scolding X, calling her a b*tch in her heart.


    Stanley followed and walked beside her. This gorgeous couple attracted looks of envy from the


    people around them.


    The weather outside was tranquil, with the sun shining bright.


    Although the temperature was still low, it was considered good weather for winter in Antis City.


    She was wearing only transparent stockings, so she quickly dashed into the red Maserati due to the


    chill and turned on the heater the moment she stepped outside.


    Soon, he got in from the other side. He rolled down the window halfway and lit a cigarette.


    He did not smoke the cigarette but held it between his slender fingers, letting the smoke surround


    him as he slowly turned to look at her. “When did you find out that Emily wasn’t pregnant?”


    “I was already suspicious when she announced her pregnancy, so I took her pulse,” X answered


    with a smile. “Do you remember when Emily got sent to prison? Back then, she wasn’t pregnant. I


    suspect that she has bribed aw enforcement officer to escape getting caught.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
