Chapter 873


    “Yes, I’m alright,” As Stanley Batton spoke, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it


    to Jeremy Quest courteously.


    Jeremy took the cigarette from him and ced it between his lips.


    Stanley then took out the lighter and carefully lit the cigarette for Jeremy.


    Jeremy took a deep breath before continuing, “X told me that you’d be fine as long as you go for


    regr blood transfusion. Is that true?”

    “Yeah.” Stanley refused to borate on his condition.


    “Are you sure?” Jeremy asked again.


    “Don’t worry, Dad. It shouldn’t be a problem if I take good care of myself.” Following that statement,


    Stanley lit another cigarette and took a couple of long drags at it.


    Smoke suspended in the still air, twirling around his exquisite jawline and perfect features. His


    charm was irresistible.


    Only then did Jeremy heave a sigh of relief. “That’s great…”


    “Shall we y another round? I’ll go get the chess set,” Stanley asked.


    “Nah. You should get some rest. Just sit with me for a while.” Jeremy exhaled a puff of smoke


    before calling Quest Property Group’swyer. “Mr. Owen, pleasee to my house if you have


    time. I need you to draw up a divorce agreement for me.”


    “Okay,” the man replied.


    Jeremy then hung up the phone.


    “Dad, have you thought it through?” Stanley asked concernedly.


    Jeremy nodded without hesitation. “Of course. She’s not worthy of being my wife, much less X’s


    stepmother. To be honest, I feel so sorry for X every time I think about her.


    “Perhaps I’m indirectly responsible for all the setbacks she has faced throughout her life. She


    would’ve lived a better life if I had stopped looking for other women after X’s mother passed


    away.” Jeremy’s heart began to ache.


    X Quest might have been mentally deranged because of May Conner. Though X had


    discovered it before things got worse, the appalling thought still haunted him.


    “It’s not your fault…” Stanley tried tofort him.


    “But I always think that it’s my fault…”


    “You didn’t do anything wrong. It all has nothing to do with you,” Stanley added.


    Jeremy sighed once more.


    ***


    After X Quest reached the police station, she gave the police an ount of Emily Quest and May


    Conner’s crimes.


    The investigation went on for an hour.


    After making the statement, she grabbed her silver handbag and stalked out of the police station.


    It was already evening.


    The setting sun painted fresh colors across the sky. The city was aglow with soft orange as if the


    whole world was bathed in sunlight.


    The diamonds on X’s gold dress shimmered brightly as the golden sun rays shone upon her.


    The sunset indicated that it was time to get off from work. People were rushing out from the


    buildings, and the tarmac road was filled with cars.


    All the male drivers who passed by the police station were fascinated by X’s beauty.


    They could not help honking at her to catch her attention.


    Nheless, X could not care any less about them.


    She headed straight to a nearby tree and stood under the shade. Leaning against the trunk, she


    pulled out her phone and tapped on the Uber app, intending to book an Uber ride home.


    Right at this moment, a ck Bentley Arnage drove in her direction.


    X subconsciously smiled genuinely when she saw the car.


    Very soon, the car pulled up next to her.


    X could clearly see Stanley’s handsome face through the tinted car windows.


    His ashen, low-spirited look hadpletely vanished.


    On the contrary, he had taken on an entirely new look.


    Stanley got out of the car and immediately pulled her into his arms, studying her gorgeous face as if


    he was admiring a piece of art. “Let’s go, honey.”
