Chapter 821


    “Get up. I can go there and sit if you do…” Tom Sullivan said.


    “Carry me there…” Emily Quest said.


    Tom frowned helplessly before carrying Emily over to the chair and sat her down.


    After that, he sat down on the other side of the table.


    For Tom, a day like this wasplete torture.


    Sometimes, he wished he could kill Emily for being the b*tch she was.


    Next door, X Quest and the others were still having a good time, and they were talking and


    laughing all the way…


    Ron Batton carefully ced a piece of plum-braised pork rib on X’s te. “Don’t you like plum-


    braised pork ribs? Have a little more,” he said.


    X leaned gently against Stanley Batton as she smiled at Ron. “Thank you, Grandpa…” She said.


    “Oh, right. There’s something I need to talk to you about, Stan…” Ron looked at Stanley and said


    with a serious look on his face.


    “What is it?” Stanley held onto X’s shoulder with one hand. His fingertip rubbed against her skin


    very gently.


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


    “I asked your father to amend his will,” Ron said.


    “Amend his will?” A look of surprise appeared in Stanley’s eyes.


    “Yeah. It’s been changed such that… If you ever do X wrong, everything you were supposed to


    inherit from your father after he passes away, including thepany and some properties, will all


    belong to X…” Ron said as he ate.


    X was shocked to hear this.


    She never thought the Batton family would do something like this for her, and she felt deeply


    touched at this moment.


    “Okay… I’m fine with that,” Stanley said as he continued to hold X. He didn’t show any


    expression in his eyes.


    “Grandpa… You didn’t have to do this. I believe my husband will always be good to me,” X said.


    “Who knows what might happen in the future? I think it’s a good thing to keep you insured.” Ron


    smiled before cing another piece of plum-braised pork rib on X’s te. “Eat some more, my


    good child,” he said.


    “Why are you so nice to me?” X’s eyes began to well up.


    “That’s because Grandpa likes you… and I think of you as my biological granddaughter,” Ron said


    straightforwardly.


    “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about something else. X, I’m going to a sculpture art


    exhibition tomorrow… Will youe with me if you are free?” Ron changed the topic directly.


    “Sure…” X nodded without hesitation.


    ***


    After the meal, Ron started discussing something important about thepany with Stanley.


    X yed with her phone nearby. Feeling a little bored in the room, she excused herself. She took


    the elevator on her own to get to the garden on the first floor.


    This garden looked like a garden in an emperor’s pce. It was huge.


    Although it was nighttime, the garden still looked as bright as day because of the many lit street


    lamps all around the ce.


    The garden’s floor wasyered with colorful rocks of various shapes, and there were exotic-looking


    rocks and lush nts everywhere.


    All the various types of rare flowers and odd nts made the garden seem very lively.


    Walking into the garden made X feel as if she had entered a pce drama series.


    X walked around the garden. When she saw a swing, she sat on it and gently swayed herself


    back and forth while ying with her phone…


    After Ron finished discussing business with Stanley, he let out a long, serious sigh. Ron then waved


    at Stanley. “Come and sit over here,” he said.


    Stanley got up and sat next to Ron.


    Without saying anything, Ron silently checked Stanley’s pulse.


    In the walkway, Emily had just finished talking on the phone. She was about to return to her room


    when she saw Ron checking Stanley’s pulse through the gap in the door.
