Chapter 968


    The truth would be revealed one day.


    Those who were on the dark side would have to pay for their misdeeds.


    What went around came around. It was only a matter of time.


    Jeremy Quest nodded in agreement. “You definitely will.”


    Jeremy could not take it anymore. It all happened so suddenly.


    He was heartbroken enough to find out that her daughtermitted suicide, whereas his wife died


    of a cerebral hemorrhage.


    Never in his life had he imagined that they were murdered.


    Who the hell was this ‘master’?


    Jeremy’s utter bewilderment was reflected in his eyes.


    He was appalled when he recalled everything that had happened on X Quest before.


    He was so close to losing his favorite and most outstanding daughter.


    “X, I’m so grateful that you’re alive and well. I thank god for taking care of you. I really am scared


    when I think about it.” Jeremy patted X’s hands, mixed feelings churning inside of him.


    X was touched hearing that.


    She slid her fingers between Jeremy’s and forced a smile. “To be honest, I’m scared too. I was once


    so close to death, wasn’t I?”


    There was a big boss behind May Conner and Emily Quest. This was totally out of her expectation.


    She did not have the slightest idea who the big boss was. Neither did she know how long he had


    been controlling May and Emily to hurt her.


    She thought that her life would be peaceful again after sending May and Emily to jail.


    Little did she know that everything had just begun…


    “Thank you, god. Thank you so much,” Jeremy wiped his tears while mumbling, “Do you think the


    ‘master’ has been controlling your aunt and sister since a long time ago? Let’s say he started


    controlling May when we got married. Then, he started controlling Emily when she was getting more


    mature.


    “Maybe their hatred for you came from the ‘master’ too. He must have brainwashed them,” Jeremy


    continued.


    “I’ve spoken about this with Stanley and Grandpa, too, but we all agree that it’s impossible,” X


    said.


    “Yeah, true... I guess I’m just overthinking,” Jeremymented.


    “Alright, let’s go back inside.” X added, “By the way, Dad, this is a secret. Don’t let the cat out of


    the bag.”


    Nodding helplessly, Jeremy let out a deep sigh and got out of the car.


    X immediately got out of the car from the other side.


    Her ck hat fell a little forward as she lowered her head, the veil on the brim perfectly covering


    her unreadable expression.


    Later, X wrapped her arms around Jeremy’s elbow and walked him to the funeral home.


    ***


    Around ten o’clock at night, Jeremy dismissed the people inside the parlor.


    Stanley Batton brought some people with him to switch the bodies an hourter.


    May’s and Emily’s bodies were then transferred to the funeral home’s freezer.


    The fake bodies were ced into their coffins.


    Their mission waspleted in a blink of an eye.


    After switching the bodies, X, Jeremy, and Stanley settled down at the parlor and acted as


    though nothing had happened.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
