Chapter 213


    “Yeah… X, Stan, your aunt is a little unwell, so I’ll be keeping herpany. If there’s nothing you


    guys need, go on ahead and enjoy yourselves, there’s no need to mind us,” said Jeremy.


    “Alright, Dad, you and Aunty take care of your health,” said X.


    After that, she turned to leave, tugging the man beside her along.


    Back inside the car, X’s phone vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Georgie, X put on her


    headset to answer the call as she started the car.

    As she turned the car around, she asked, “What’s up, Georgie?”


    “President X, Tom has proposed a divorce with Emily, and he was very firm on the decision,”


    reported Georgie.


    X smiled. “A divorce?”


    “Yeah… I went to the detention center to take care of something and heard it from the people there,”


    Georgie added.


    Although it was within her expectations, she still felt great when she heard it.


    “Got it,” said X.


    After that, she ended the call, stepped on the gas pedal, and the red Maserati sped away.


    Stanley was quietly smoking beside her the whole time without saying anything. His existence was


    hard to ignore, as usual.


    ***


    Once home, X was exhausted as she took off her high heels and simply sat on the sofa.


    God knew just how tired X was from the homing banquet until now.


    Toot, toot, toot.


    Stanley was about to sit down when his phone rang. It was a call from Sharon.


    He nced faintly at X before turning to walk over to the french windows. “What is it?”


    “Make a trip home. There’s an emergency.”


    “Okay.”


    He hung up and turned to look at X. “I have some matters to take care of, so I’m heading out.”


    “Go on…” X nodded, lifting her head to let her eyes meet his cold gaze.


    Sunlight shone in from behind him. Standing there with the backlit glow, the man was radiant and


    captivating.


    He said nothing but turned to leave.


    After Stanley had left, X called Lana and requested her to interfere with Emily’s case. No matter


    who pleaded, they were not to reduce Emily’s sentence.


    Lana agreed immediately.


    X casually chatted with her for a bit before hanging up.


    Next, Lana sent her a WeChat message. “X, there’s a fashion show in Antis in three days. Will


    you go with me? My friends happened to be busy, and so is my husband. I don’t want to go alone…”


    “Sure.” X smiled.


    “Great, that’s a promise then. Don’t worry. I’ll tell my husband about Emily’s case and get him to


    pass on a severe sentence. No one can plead to help her,” said Lana.


    Her attorney general husband was a remarkably powerful man. If he were to interfere, forget the


    Quest family, even the Sullivan family would not be able to help.


    “Alright, Aunty.” X smiled. “Thank you, Aunty.”


    “My life is yours, so why are you thanking me?” the woman chuckled in response.
