Chapter 762


    Which blueprint would Emily Quest steal from the ones X Quest threw away?


    X was really looking forward to finding out.


    “Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, X’s phone started ringing.


    When she saw it was a WeChat video call from Stanley Batton, she immediately smiled. X got up


    and walked over to the french window before answering the call.


    Very soon, Stanley’s face appeared on the phone screen.


    He was wearing a well-ironed white shirt. His hair was airy and volumized, and it seemed he had


    only just washed it.


    Without any wax on his hair, it seemed naturally curvy.


    Since this hairstyle covered his fierce-looking brows, it made Stanley appear less intimidating.


    “Honey, isn’t it ten o’clock at night where you are? Why aren’t you asleep yet?” X asked.


    “Hmm. I wanted to check on you before I sleep,” Stanley said, smiling.


    When X heard that, she immediately startedughing. “Well, you have done it now. Go to bed.


    I’m at my father’s ce.”


    “Hmm… Do you miss me?” Stanley asked.


    “Yeah. There are guests here. Be careful with what you say…” X reminded him for fear that he


    might say something inappropriate.


    “Okay… Pass your phone to Dad… I want to say hello,” Stanley said.


    X instantly brought the phone over to Jeremy.


    When Jeremy saw Stanley, he waved passionately at him. “Hey, Stan… How are you?”


    “Hey, Dad. How have you been for the past few days?” Stanley asked.


    “All is well. Have things been going smoothly for you overseas?” Jeremy asked.


    “Very much so…” Stanley said.


    “Take care of yourself. Don’t exhaust yourself too much… ” Jeremy said.


    “Okay, I will. Take care of yourself too, Dad.” Stanley was behaving like the perfect son-inw when


    he spoke to Jeremy.


    “Dad, I discovered a new painting by a famous artist. I’ll bring it home to you when I return…”


    Stanley added.


    When Jeremy heard this, he was overjoyed.


    After giving his precious art piece away from before, Jeremy constantly felt as if something was


    missing.


    He wanted to buy another one like it, but he hadn’t been able to.


    The three architectural designers who overheard this conversation were all stunned.


    Was this how a rich person’s world worked?


    They gave each other expensive art pieces for fun.


    Everyone started feeling envious of Jeremy.


    “Stan… You’re too kind.” Jeremy seemed very satisfied.


    “As I should be, Dad. Could you pass the phone back to X, please…” Stanley said.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Jeremy immediately returned the phone to X.


    “Honey… Go to your room for a while… I have something to tell you,” Stanley added.


    His voice was crisp and hypnotic. X’s heartbeat quickened when she heard it.


    Obediently, X went upstairs with her phone. After entering her bedroom, she locked the door


    from the inside.


    After X left, the designers downstairs began praising Jeremy once again.


    However, this time, they were no longer praising Emily. Instead, they had shifted their attention to


    X.


    With attention taken away from her yet again, Emily felt extremely jealous.


    She didn’t even get their full attention for very long before Stanley’s video call stole the limelight


    away from her.


    X sat on her bed before looking at Stanley on her phone screen. “What did you want to tell me?”


    She asked.


    “Honey… I miss you,” Stanley said.


    “Hmm…” X murmured.
