Chapter 407


    Jeremy Quest couldn’t resist raising his thumb. “X, you are truly excellent. Indeed, you live up to


    the expectations I have for you as my heir.”


    “To be honest, it’s probably because she liked the way I looked,” X said. This was the only


    reason X could think of if she had to provide an exnation.


    “Regardless of what the reason is, I still think you are amazing,” Jeremyplimented her yet


    again. He seemed very proud of X.


    “Yeah, X is amazing. But you should be careful when interacting with people like her. If you make


    a wrong move, you might end up dragging the entire family business down,” May said and smiled at


    X while she pretended to be concerned.


    X looked at May calmly while she replied to her. “Okay… Thank you for the reminder, Aunty. I


    know what to do. If there’s nothing else, Aunty, we’ll be heading back. I need to get ready to go over


    to the vice president’s residence tonight.”


    “Okay, okay… Oh right, X. I want to buy you a new race car… Don’t you like Maserati? Why don’t


    youe with me to check it out when you’re free?” Jeremy asked kindly.


    When May heard this, she became even more jealous of X.


    Why did Jeremy only mention buying X a car? Why didn’t he say he would buy one for Emily


    Quest too? Did he think of Emily as May’s daughter with another man?


    “Okay, thank you, Father.”

    After returning to her vi, X removed her high heels and changed intofortable white


    slippers.


    Having worn high heels for too long, her soles were aching badly. The moment she changed into t


    shoes, X suddenly felt as if she had been resurrected from the dead.


    After instantly letting out a long sigh, she sat down on the couch.

    Stanley Batton changed his shoes before walking over to the couch.


    Buzz, buzz, buzz…


    Right then, his phone started to vibrate.


    The words ‘Little Darling’ appeared on the screen. His gaze became gentler while he picked up the


    call.


    “Brother… Let’s have dinner tonight, shall we?” Catherine Batton’s tender voice could be heard.


    “Okay… What time?”


    “How does six sound?” Catherine asked.


    “Deal,” Stanley answered without hesitation before sitting down next to X and hanging up.


    The moment he hung up the call, X unintentionally caught sight of the phone and saw the words


    ‘Little Darling’ on the screen. She instantly felt very jealous.


    Five Batton sure was intimate with his girlfriend.


    Although X knew he had a girlfriend, and that she shouldn’t care about him, she couldn’t stop


    herself.


    “Are you very tired?” Stanley asked when he saw X’s pale face.


    “Yeah,” X said and nodded slightly.


    “Would you like some tea?” Stanley asked.


    “Five Batton…”


    “Yeah.”


    “Please be careful when you interact with other women out there. After all, you are ying the role


    as my husband, Stanley Batton. If you get photographed doing anything unusual, I would end up on


    the news with you… It’s not good for either of us,” X reminded him.


    Stanley raised his brows a little with an inspecting gaze. “Why are you suddenly bringing this up?”


    “I just thought of it and decided to remind you,” X said.


    After that, X helped herself up exhaustedly with both hands pressing on the couch. “I’m going to


    take a bath upstairs, get my makeup done, and then head out for dinner.”
