Chapter 830


    Suddenly, Ron Batton and X Quest became the center of attention in the hall.


    “X, look at how well your inws treat you… Tens of millions of dors are nothing as long as you


    like the sculptures.”


    “That’s right. Sir Batton really is a generous man.”


    “I’d wake upughing if I were you.”


    Once again, Emily Quest had turned invisible in the crowd.


    All the things that the Sullivan family had bought for her were simply insignificantpared to the


    Batton family’s.


    Grief thrummed through Emily’s veins when the light around her gradually faded.


    She would never be able to shine in X’s presence.


    She had been living in X’s shadow since they were kids, except for the time when X was fat


    and hideous.

    Smiling awkwardly at the babbling crowd, X secretly tugged at Ron’s right sleeve and whispered,


    “Grandpa, why are you doing this? I think they’re nice, but that doesn’t mean I want them…”


    Ron returned a lovely grin, then inched closer to whisper in her ears. “I know what’s going on


    between you and your sister. I’ll never allow her to overshadow you.”


    Warmth rose in X’s stomach instantaneously, filling her heart.


    Her master always looked out for her as if she was his granddaughter.


    “But… You don’t have to do this…” X stuttered.


    “Don’t worry about it. I’m happy to spend my money on you. Even if you want to bring all the


    sculptures home, I''d be happy to do so,” Ron insisted.


    “Alright, let’s go to settle the bill.”


    Subsequently, Ron and X walked arm in arm to the trading office under the staff’s guidance.


    As soon as they left, the entire hall was in an uproar.


    “X married the right man indeed. Her status in the Batton family is on firm ground.”


    “Exactly. She’s the apple of the Batton family’s eye. Everyone is spoiling her like a princess!”


    “Imagine being part of the wealthy family and enjoying that kind of treatment from them… What did


    X do to deserve this?”


    There was not a single woman who did not envy X whenever they mentioned her name.


    Their discussion split Emily’s eardrums.


    Her resentment and hatred toward her sister were only intensified with each word they spoke.


    However, her anger soon dissipated when she thought of the conversation between Stanley Batton


    and Ron that night.


    The crowd’s adoration toward X had triggered Bailey Ronson too. Swallowing down her


    frustration, she red coldly at X’s receding back and nudged Emily. “Let’s go to settle our bill


    too.”


    Emily frowned slightly, then followed Bailey to the trading office.


    Tom Sullivan, who had been acting like an outsider, caught up with themter.


    X’s blessed marriage upset him.


    In the past, X was the one who promised that her future was bound to Tom. She told him that he


    was the only one who could bring her happiness.


    Nevertheless, X was now living a prosperous life without him. She was even happier than before.


    Ron paid for his sculptures first. After that, he led X out of the trading room.


    Once they stepped out of the room, Ron turned to X and said, “Wait for me at the lobby. I need to


    go to the washroom.”


    X nodded obediently and headed straight to the lobby.


    Right at that moment, her phone vibrated.


    A notification popped up on the screen. There was a new email in her QQ Mailbox.
