Chapter 868
Suspicion shed in X Quest’s eyes. “Really?”
Jeremy Quest shrugged indifferently. “Yeah. She has gone too far. I’ve had enough.”
Following that statement, Jeremy lit another cigarette and took a long drag at it before continuing,
“X, is your body okay?”
X smiled. “I’m fine. Thank god I discovered her misdeed before it’s toote.”
Jeremy’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Oh? How did you find out about it?”
X gave him a curt nod. “I’m not sleeping well these days, and I always wake up feeling dizzy.
Moreover, I experience feelings of nausea asionally. I’ve tried taking my pulse, but I don’t feel
anything unusual.
“I went to the hospital to find Emily’s doctor yesterday afternoon. He wasn’t in the office, so I
decided to do a blood test while waiting for him. I was surprised to find out that the mercury level in
my body was way over the limit.
“That was when I realized that someone was trying to poison me. No doubt, Emily and May were
the first who crossed my mind, but I had no proof. Who knew that Emily’s doctor would confess
everything to me once we met,” X recounted.
Wrath festered in Jeremy as he listened to her story, his hands subconsciously balling into fists.
“May Conner… What a heartless woman she is!”
“Dad, I’ve really thought of calling a truce with them because I don’t want to upset you. However, I
have no choice. I can’t guarantee that they’ll quit hurting me if I let them off the hook this time. I
honestly don’t know what they are going to do next…
“Furthermore, I’m afraid that May will try to harm you one day. Yes, she hates me, but that’s not the
main reason she drugged me. She’s after our family fortune…
“She’s out of her mind. She would do anything for the family fortune. I’m the one poisoned this time,
but we never know what she’s thinking. She might change her target to you anytime.”
X finally got her most genuine thoughts off her chest. A serious expression was etched upon her
face as she looked at Jeremy.
They were not baseless spections.
She had seen simr cases in the foreign magazines.
She would never allow such tragedies to ur in her lifetime.
Jeremy nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, X. I won’t be soft-hearted this time.”
Stanley Batton, who had been keeping his mouth shut all the time, fixed his gaze upon Jeremy and
said, “X and I will take care of you in the future. You’ll live a good life without them.”
Jeremy nodded gratefully. “Okay… I know you will…”
After that, Stanley averted his gaze to X. “Leave everything to me. You guys don’t have to worry
about it anymore, alright?”
“Thanks, hubby.” X nodded obediently.
X carefully studied Jeremy’s face again. “Dad… Have you made up your mind? Are you sure you
won’t regret your decision?”
Jeremy shook his head firmly.
Only then did X feel relieved.
Nee-naw… Nee-naw… Nee-naw…

Suddenly, ear-splitting police sirens echoed from the outside, interrupting their conversation.
The sirens got increasingly closer and clearer.
Jeremy got up from the couch and stubbed out the cigarette with his bare fingers. “I’m going to open
the door.”
With that, he left the pair and headed straight to the main door.
When Jeremy opened the door, three police cars pulled up in front of him.
Very soon, a dozen police officers hopped down from the cars.
As soon as the police officers got out of the cars, they quickly walked up to Jeremy.
The policeman in the lead—with a crew cut—gave Jeremy a polite nod. “President Quest, we’ve
received a call reporting your wife and your younger daughter. We have to bring them back to the
police station for further investigation.”
Without hesitation, Jeremy turned sideways and made a wee gesture. “They’re on the second
floor. My bodyguards are guarding their room. You should have no problem finding it.”
The police officers entered the house right away.
Jeremy followed them to the living room.
However, he did not follow them to the staircase. He frowned and sat down across X and
Stanley.
Soon, May Conner and Emily Quest came down with the police officers.
