Chapter 967


    She felt safe whenever she was with him.


    In fact, she was not that worried about her safety.


    Her life might be in danger, but she had him. She was not afraid of anything when he was around.


    “The upright need not fear the crooked. Trust me. We’ll get through this.” X Quest looked as


    determined as ever.


    “Yeah.” Stanley hugged her tightly again.


    Ron was pleased to look at the intimacy between the lovely couple.


    However, it did not ease his worries.


    He feared that something terrible was going to happen to X.


    He was on tenterhooks because he cared about her.


    X got along well with everyone in the Batton family. She was the apple of their eyes. They could


    not bear losing her.


    “Alright. I’ll go find Dad first.” X pushed Stanley away and admonished him, “Take care of


    Grandpa.”


    “I will.” Stanley smiled and gently stroked her hair.

    X headed straight to parlor No.1 once she reached the funeral home.


    She was surprised to find that all her family and friends were still at the parlor.


    Everyone was sitting on the sides of the parlor, praying sincerely for May Conner and Emily Quest.


    On the other hand, Jeremy Quest was sitting in front of their coffins with his head down, his face all


    somber.


    As soon as X stepped into the hall, she could feel it was full of sorrow.


    The air was cold and woeful as if the world was going to freeze in the very next second.


    Taking a deep breath, X walked up to Jeremy and knelt beside him. “Dad, can you pleasee


    with me? I have something important to tell you.”


    Jeremy gazed at X for a few seconds before nodding weakly.


    X immediately helped him get up from the chair, then led her to the ck Rolls Royce in the


    courtyard.


    She got into the driver seat while Jeremy got into the car from the other side.


    After scanning around the courtyard to make sure that there was no one around, X recounted


    everything that had just happened at home to Jeremy, including her suspicions and ns. The


    seriousness in her tone only amplified with each word she spoke.


    Jeremy nearly jumped out of his skin after listening to her story.


    He could not believe his ears.

    “May and Emily were most likely killed by that so-called ‘master’. Is that what you mean? However,


    their autopsy reports clearly state that they’re two suicides,” Jeremy eximed in disbelief.


    “This guy must be a powerful man. Otherwise, he couldn’t have sneaked into jail and kill the two of


    them at once. Judging from the poison he used, I believe that faking their deaths as hemorrhage or


    suicide is easy-peasy to him,” X exined.


    Jeremy nodded and took a deep breath, trying to digest the breaking news. He then quickly


    recollected himself and turned to X. “Do what you’re supposed to do. I support you.”


    He could not help gritting his teeth when he thought of the ‘master’.


    He frowned and sighed annoyedly, “I seriously can’t believe that this is real… X, why would


    someone do such things to harm you? This is unbelievable!”


    This guy really was vicious!


    “Dad, we’ve never stepped on anyone’s toes, right?” X’s eyes were brimming with curiosity.


    “No,” Jeremy answered without a second thought.


    “This guy might be yourpetitor or the Batton family’spetitor in the business world. No


    matter who he is, I’ll definitely dig him up one day,” X said without turning a hair.
