Chapter 832


    X Quest’s depressed face was her favorite view. Why should X be happy when she was not?


    On top of that, she would be at an advantage if X and Stanley Batton remained locked in a


    stalemate because it meant that nobody was going to stop her from crushing X anymore.


    They were sisters. Sisters were supposed to stick to each other through thick and thin. Since she


    was now plunging into an abyss of despair, naturally, she had to drag X down with her.


    Imagine suffering alone in the abyss without X’spany. How lonely must it be!


    X totally did not notice that Emily Quest was staring at her.


    She kept her head down and reyed the recording over and over again.


    Every single word pierced through her heart like a spear, rendering her in torment.


    She sank deeper into her misery as she listened to the conversation for the nth time.


    The truth was cruel, and the pain was almost unbearable.


    X’s knees went weak. She felt that her whole body was losing strength all of a sudden.


    Taking a deep breath, she clutched her phone and stalked out of the hall.


    The bodyguards standing outside the main entrance immediately ran after her when they caught


    sight of her.


    Looking at X’s receding figure, Emily could not help but burst outughing. Her left palm over her


    mouth.


    X was hurt. She was really hurt.


    Everything would go as Emily thought next.


    Excitement overtook Emily whenever she thought about that.


    ‘Well, well… Thank God all the money I spent on the fake recording is not wasted. It’s such a


    brilliant idea, isn’t it? I can make up a little story while revealing the truth to her…’


    Shane muttered to herself again.


    At this time, Ron Batton came out of the washroom.


    Noticing his presence, Emily immediately regained her usual mncholic look and approached a


    sculpture before her, pretending to admire it.


    Ron headed straight to the lobby to look for X.


    However, he could not find her.


    Ron immediately pulled out his phone and called X.


    Meanwhile, in the red Maserati, X stared at Ron’s name on her phone screen for some time


    before taking a deep breath and answering the call.


    “X, where are you?”


    “I have something to do. I have to leave first… Sorry.”


    She then hung up the phone without waiting for Ron’s reply.


    After discovering the harsh truth, there was no way she could face Ron as if nothing happened.


    Once she thought of the things Ron told Stanley, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that


    shielded her heart away from the world.

    The red roses on both sides of the road were in full bloom.


    X could faintly smell the rosy fragrance even with the car windows closed.


    She finally understood that the man turned the entire city into a sea of roses was not because of


    love. He was just after her blood.


    He would not even look at her if she was not needed, would he?


    Pfft.
