Chapter 956


    Everyone in the Sullivan family seemed very aggrieved, but there wasn’t a single tear in their eyes.


    X Quest knew very well that the entire family was just putting on an act.


    None of them from the Sullivan family actually felt sad about Emily Quest’s death.


    Yet, even so, X still didn’t feel sorry for Emily.


    Everyone needed to pay for what they did. Back when Emily was alive, she wasn’t kind to others.


    After she died, she also shouldn’t receive kindness from others.


    Jeremy Quest didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently listened to what the Sullivan family said as he


    looked at his wife and daughter’s memorial portraits with an empty gaze.


    He was feeling extremely upset.


    Although he hated the two of them thoroughly, he still felt a great pain in his chest when he looked


    at their coffins and memorial portraits.


    Seeing her father like this made X feel extremely upset as well.


    She immediately hugged Jeremy tight. “Dad, please don’t be too sad. You’ll hurt yourself,” X said


    carefully.

    Jeremy nodded, but he still didn’t say anything.


    Members of the Sullivan family pretended to let out a long sigh. After that, they backed away to one


    side and silently stood there in mourning.


    Once they had left, Stanley Batton also kneeled next to Jeremy and patted his shoulder. “Dad, my


    condolences.”


    Jeremy nodded again.


    After a long while, Jeremy slowly turned to look at X and Stanley. “X, you are all I have left.


    You must stay alive and not make me lose you too. Stan, please protect X well.”


    “Alright…” X and Stanley said simultaneously.


    “Dad, don’t be sad anymore. Watching you like this makes me feel terrible,” X added.


    Jeremy let out a long sigh and wiped his tears. “How could I not feel sad… X, why don’t you and


    Stan go over to help me greet the guests. I want to sit by myself for a while.”


    X nodded before walking over to greet the other guests with Stanley.


    Right then, X was also not in a good mood.


    However, it wasn’t because of Emily or May. In fact, it wasn’t because of anyone else. Instead, it


    was because of her father.


    While everyone couldn’t see, Tom couldn’t help but smile.


    He thought he would still have to suffer under Emily’s control for the longest time. But, to his


    surprise, she died just like that. He was overjoyed right now.


    From now on, he wouldn’t have to live in fear anymore, and Emily would no longer haunt him.


    He could do whatever he wanted to without having to hide it.


    X unintentionally turned around and saw Tom’s smile from the corner of her eyes.


    She couldn’t help but feel sad for Emily yet again.


    Despite loving Tom all her life, Emily couldn’t even get him to shed a single tear for her when she


    died.


    This man was truly heartless.


    X also began to feel d that this man had abandoned her back then.


    Looking at how Tom behaved now, X even felt a little grateful toward Emily.


    If it weren’t for Emily, who was adamant about stealing Tom away from her, X would’ve had to


    spend the rest of her life with this piece of trash.


    In the end, X would’ve ended up just like Emily.


    When Tom realized that X seemed to be looking at him, he immediately stopped smiling. He


    lowered his head and continued to act as if he was grieving.


    X snorted coldly.


    ‘This man sure has some acting skills.’ She thought.


    X couldn’t be bothered to pay any further attention to Tom. She shifted her attention once again


    to the guests who had just arrived.
