Chapter 867


    Suddenly, Emily Quest was enraged. She pointed at X Quest and bellowed, “X! My mom has


    pleaded with you, and I’ve also apologized to you. Yet, you don’t want to forgive me. Fine! But how


    dare you send me to jail! How dare you frame my mom!


    “You deserve what I did to you. You’ve pissed me off ever since we were kids. I’m sick of the sight of


    you. You think that I’m picking on you. Oh yeah? Do you dare to swear to god that you’ve never


    done anything like that to me?


    “You, and I… We’re the same. Why are you pretending to be a pure little angel? You b*tch!” Emily


    roared frantically. Her resentment grew inside her like a tumor.


    “Emily, you’re the one who started this. I never wanted to pick a fight with you. Neither have I made


    up any unnecessary story to nder both of you. Whether I framed Auntie or not, the police will give


    you an answer,” X replied coldly.


    “We keep getting at you because you ask for it!” Emily jabbed, “Besides, aren’t you alive and well


    after everything we’ve done to you? Did you get killed? No, right? Do you have to be so cruel to


    us?”


    Emily’s harsh words sounded offensive.


    Rage flowed through X likeva.


    However, she was sick of arguing with Emily. She managed a half-hearted sneer before falling silent


    again.


    Jeremy Quest glowered at the two bodyguards and ordered, “Bring them back to the room to wait


    for the police! Keep an eye on them. I’ming after you if the two of them escape from here…”


    The two bodyguards immediately nodded respectfully.


    Was Emily going to give up so easily?


    She gritted her teeth and rushed to the door right away.


    Sadly, she was soon caught by the two bodyguards and forced onto the floor, unable to move.


    Subsequently, one of the bodyguards pulled off his tie and wrapped it around Emily’s feet as tightly


    as he could.


    The other bodyguard also pulled off his tie to tie up her hands.


    Lastly, one of them carried Emily upstairs while the other forcibly dragged May Conner behind them.


    The two struggled and begged for help but to no avail…


    The living room had finally regained its peace after everyone left.


    It went so quiet one could hear a pin drop.


    Jeremy’s face was as red as a tomato. He plopped onto the couch, lit a cigarette, and puffed at it


    grumpily.

    “Dad, are you mad at me? I’ve ruined the banquet by throwing shade at Emily. What I’ve just done


    is pretty mean, too,” X asked cautiously.


    Jeremy shook his head. “Why should I be mad? You didn’t do anything wrong.”


    X felt relieved and touched hearing his answer.


    “Thanks for your understanding… I’m sorry, Dad…” X muttered.


    The harsh truth must be really heartbreaking to him.


    “That’s what a father should do. You’re doing the right thing, my girl. You don’t have to be sorry


    about it.


    “Giving them another chance will only put you in danger. I see right through them. They’ll never


    learn from their mistakes,” Jeremy reassured her.


    After receiving so many lessons, the two of them were still as stubborn and sinful as usual. They


    would never turn over a new leaf. They were hopeless.


    “Speaking of which, I’m the one who should thank you. Thank you for helping me to see May’s true


    colors. That woman is terrifying. It’s too risky to keep her by my side. She might turn her back on me


    someday,” Jeremy added.


    X nodded in agreement. “I’m worried about that too. That’s why I want to get rid of her. I can’t let


    her stay by your side.”


    Jeremy nodded. “Don’t worry. I know how evil and heartless she is now. My heart for her has died.


    You don’t have to worry about me...:”
