Chapter 863
After Jeremy Quest saw all his guests off, he immediately stopped smiling. He returned to the living
room with a gloomy expression on his face and sat across from X and the rest.
Jeremy nced coldly at the servants who were cleaning up. “You guys can leave for now. Bring
Emily down here on your way out.”
The servants immediately left.
When May Conner saw this, she immediately got up and sat next to him. She kept shaking
Jeremy’s hand. “Honey, Emily knows she’s wrong. Please forgive her,” she said.
“Forgive her? How many times have I forgiven her? She still hasn’t changed her ways.” Jeremy’s
expression was still gloomy.
May subconsciously shivered and continued to speak for Emily. “But at the end of the day, she’s still
your daughter. She also has depression…”
“She can’t use depression as an excuse all the time when she does something wrong!” Jeremy
uttered each word firmly.
X Quest and Stanley Batton did not speak throughout this process. Instead, they merely silently
observed everything…
Stanley slowly and methodically lit a cigarette. He held it in between his fingers, but he didn’t take a
puff at it. Instead, he let it burn.
The smoke surrounded him, making his shapely fingers seem unusually seductive.
Right then, Emily Quest was escorted down the stairs by two bodyguards.
When Emily saw Jeremy’s gloomy face, her heart began to pound again.
Subconsciously, Emily took a deep breath. She then walked bravely up to Jeremy. “Dad, you
wanted to see me…”
“X, what are you going to do with Emily? No matter what you choose to do this time, I will
definitely support you,” Jeremy looked at X and said.
Emily immediately panicked when she heard this. “Dad… Am I not your daughter too?”
“I wish you weren’t,” Jeremy said.
This sentence hurt Emily’s ego even more, and she instantly felt a greater sense of hatred toward
X.
“Emily… Hurry up and apologize to your sister, will you?” May pretended to look at Emily sternly
while she ordered coldly.
However, Emily didn’t say a word. She kept a cold expression on her face and stood still, clenching
her fists tightly.

Honestly, she didn’t want to bow down to X at all.
Why must she? Did she do anything wrong? She hated X and wanted to bring X down. What
was wrong with that?
However, because of Jeremy and Stanley Batton’s authoritative presence, Emily thought deeply for
a few seconds before finally lowering her head. “Sorry, X. I won’t do it again,” Emily said.
X still didn’t disy any emotion in her eyes. She could tell at one nce what Emily was
thinking.
“X… Emily has already apologized to you. Forgive her this time… She’s still young and silly. You
should be more patient with her. I’ll teach her a lessonter,” May looked at X earnestly as she
spoke.
“I think Emily is only a year younger than me, isn’t she, Auntie? She’s not exactly a kid anymore, is
she?” X asked calmly in return.
May was dumbfounded by X’s words.
May paused for a moment before smiling again. “At the end of the day, she’s still a little younger
than you, isn’t she? After all, she’s your little sister. Just let her off the hook this time. She definitely
won’t do it again… She also has depression, and she really can''t be provoked any further,” May
said.
“Auntie, how long will you continue to use depression as an excuse to pardon Emily’s actions?” X
said before picking up the cup of green tea in front of her. After taking a little sip, she swallowed the
tea elegantly.
“X… What do you mean by this?” May’s face instantly turned pale, and her eyes started to dart
around a little.
“Actually, you don’t have to act all innocent… Emily managed to act as if she has depression,
escaped from prison, and even deceived all of us for so long. You deserve a lot of credit for all these
things…” X said.
X’s calm tone, coupled with the noises guests were making downstairs, made Emily feel
unusually annoyed.
After saying that, X gently put down the cup in her hand. She slowly fixed her gaze on May’s
face.
May panicked…
