Chapter 695


    “It’s Tang Bohu’s painting. X told me that you love to collect antique calligraphy and paintings,


    especially Tang Bohu’s artworks.” Jeremy Quest responded.

    A smile blossomed on Wilson Batton’s face when he heard his favorite painter’s name. Without


    further ado, he unfolded the handscroll in front of everyone.


    This beautiful painting was a collection that he had longed for.


    Unfortunately, he waste to the auctionst time. As a result, someone else had taken away this


    painting for twenty million dors.


    He could not believe that Jeremy was actually that ‘someone else’.


    “Aye! Thank you so much, Jeremy!” Wilson held the painting joyfully and admired it with all his


    heart.


    He looked very much like a little girl encountering her beloved idol in real life.


    X Quest understood why her father was willing to give Wilson his favorite painting of all time.


    The Batton family had given her family many valuable gifts. Hence, he wanted to return something


    of the same value to show his gratitude.


    On top of that, he hoped that his decent gift could more or less grace her daughter in front of her in-


    laws.


    As X pondered about it, the corner of her soft lips subconsciously curved upward into a shallow


    arc.


    Her father always had her best interests at heart.


    “Isn’t this the painting you’ve been longing for? You’ve finally found it. You must be really happy,


    aren’t you?” Sharon Lindt nced at the painting and asked.


    “Are you interested in the painting too?” Upon hearing that, Jeremy could not help but grin in


    satisfaction.


    Wilson nodded. “Yeah. I love it…”


    Looking at the painting in Wilson’s hand, May Conner’s heart was shattered into a million pieces.


    She did not agree with Jeremy to give such a priceless gift to the Batton family.


    This painting was worth more than twenty million dors.


    It would not be a problem if they wanted to resell it at the price of thirty million dors.


    Tang Bohu’s artwork was one of the rarest antiques on the market.


    However, May had no right to stop Jeremy as he had already made up his mind. Furthermore, she


    had learned an important lesson from her previous mistake, that was, to y nice in front of Jeremy.


    It was safer and better for her to keep quiet.


    Devastated at the loss of the painting, May decided to change the subject. “Josh Batton, my


    daughter, Emily Quest, is very fond of you. I totally didn’t expect you to be part of our family. My


    daughter would be overjoyed if she knew about this.”


    Emily Quest. Josh Batton did remember this name.


    The nasty woman who often went against X.


    Josh managed a faint smile. “Is that so?”


    “Yes… Of course…” May replied.


    As she spoke, she snuck a sneaky text message to Emily when nobody was looking at her, sharing


    the good news with her daughter.


    As soon as Catherine Batton heard Emily’s name, she could not help but roll her eyes at May, her


    face as dark as night.


    Sharon had told her all the filthy things that the two of them had done to X.


    Two vicious women. This was her impression of May and Emily.


    “Catherine… What a sweet little girl! Sharon, Wilson, you’ve done a wonderful job in raising your


    kids,” May continued.


    Catherine did not even bother to listen to her sheer bunk. Without paying any heed to her, Catherine


    lowered her head and kept eating, asionally forcing a smile out of politeness.


    Halfway through the meal, Emily pushed open the door and walked into the private room.


    She had rushed here as soon as she saw May’s message.


    This shameless woman had dropped a bombshell in the room. X, as well as the Batton family,


    were stunned by her arrival. Their utter dismay was reflected in their eyes.


    None of them had invited Emily…


    Why was she here?


    On the other hand, Emily was bbergasted with joy when she caught sight of her favorite idol.


    Nevertheless, she tried to suppress her excitement as she was still a severely depressed patient in


    the public. Trying as she might, she hid her smile and nodded politely to everyone before sitting on


    the empty seat next to Josh.


    “Hello everyone… I’m Emily Quest…” Emily mumbled.


    X red at her, speechless. How could she be so shameless?


    What a brazen unbidden guest…
