Chapter 449


    Immediately after he ended his sentence, Jeremy Quest continued. “Worry not, X. I’ll deal with


    him for you.”


    X simplyughed gently. “Don’t be hasty, dad. The woman in the picture is his blood-rted


    sister.”


    “What?!” Jeremy was stunned for a moment.


    “Yes, she’s been studying overseas all this time. Don’t be angry with him anymore, I’m doing very


    well with my husband,” X exined in a serious but calm voice.


    “That’s… That’s great to hear…” Jeremy sighed in relief as he slowly calmed down.


    After she was done exining, X continued to talk with Jeremy for a while. Nearing the end, the


    smile on her face faded and she began to furrow her brows again.


    Once the call ended, Jeremy immediately went to the washroom.


    Emily Quest could barely hold her excitement and whispered in May Conner’s ear, “Mary Sullivan’s


    definitely done a good job this time!”


    May snorted, pleased with the situation. “Let’s see whether that brat can still be as arrogant as she


    usually is after this.”


    Emily didn’t reply, but she cupped her hands over her mouth as she secretly smiled.


    A flushing sound was heard and the mother and daughter immediately ceased their whispering.


    Emily quickly put on her usual depressed facade.


    After washing his hands, Jeremy walked out of the washroom.


    May Conner pretended to be worried and stood up. She slowly walked toward Jeremy before


    asking, “Darling? Is X going to be okay?”


    Emily could barely hold her anticipation for his answer but she continued to look toward the floor,


    still pretending to be depressed.


    Both of them wanted to hear him say that X was doing terribly.


    Jeremy walked closer to both of them and sat by May’s side. “She’s doing fine.”


    May let out a long sigh. “How could that be? Is she just saying she’s fine so that we won’t be


    worried about her? X, that poor, poor child…”


    Emily almostughed out. She pressed her thumb against her index finger so that the pain would


    allow her to control her emotions better.


    “She told me that the girl on the news is just Stan’s sister. No need to worry about it any longer,”


    Jeremy exined.


    Upon hearing that, May and Emily didn’t think much about it.


    Both of them assumed that it was probably just a lie to cover up her embarrassment.

    May held onto Jeremy’s arm gently. “Darling, couldn’t she just be lying to us? We’ve never heard of


    X mention about him having a sister. Could it be that she’s just too afraid that we’ll be overly


    worried about her?”


    Jeremy simply shook his head. “That’s quite impossible. X would never lie to us. Alright, I need to


    return to my office now.”


    Upon finishing his sentence, Jeremy left the room immediately.


    After he left, Emily approached her mother and asked, “...Mom, what do you think about this?”


    “I think the brat’s just lying to save her image… She’s never mentioned about Stanley’s sister


    before,” May snorted.


    Emily snorted as well. “We both have the same idea.”


    “If we’re both thinking the same thing, Mary would definitely not believe the story either. Let’s wait


    for her to solve the mystery. We just need to remain calm for now and wait for X to continue


    embarrassing herself.” In her mind, May was already scheming several ideas.


    “That’s for sure. Based on X’s personality, she would definitely post a rification message. The


    message would definitely make the issue go viral again.” Emily’s lips curved upwards as she smiled


    coldly.
