Chapter 972


    The Quest family and the maid’s family held a small funeral for the maid the following day.


    After the funeral, X Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their home together.


    This was the first time they went back home since Emily Quest passed away.


    Sunlight streamed golden through the window and lit the living room.


    All the Baroque-style ornaments in the living room were shimmering brightly in the golden sun rays.


    X plopped down on the couch as soon as she reached home. She leaned against the backrest


    and pinched her nose bridge to keep herself awake.


    After putting on the slippers, Stanley strode across the living room and sat down next to her.


    Suddenly and without warning, he turned her body sideways and gave her stiff shoulder a massage.


    He was as good as a professional masseur.


    He applied the right amount of pressure at the exact acupoints of her body. X felt like all her


    soreness disappeared at that instant.


    Tenderness was written all over the man.


    The sun was warm, but it was simply not as warm as him.


    “How do you feel?” he asked.


    “It’sfortable,”said X with her eyes closed. She was clearly enjoying herself.


    “Now that we’ve settled everything, it’s time for us to move on and return to our normal lives. Let’s


    go back to work tomorrow. Don’t overthink, alright?” Stanley said.


    “Okay,” X replied without hesitation.


    “As for the other things, we should leave it to Carson Ritzer,” Stanley added.


    “Okay.”


    “By the way, Mom asked us to have dinner with her tonight.”


    “Sure.”


    Following that statement, X slowly opened her eyes. “I need to go to the bankter.”


    “What for?” Stanley asked curiously.


    “Didn’t I say that I’ll give the maid’s parents five million dors? They asked me to go to the bank


    with them to settle the money,” X exined.


    “You can transfer the money to them online.”


    “They’re from the vige. They can’t read. They don’t know anything about credit cards and


    smartphones. Their daughter used to help them with it but now that she’s gone… I… ” X


    stuttered.


    “Alright… Should Ie with you?” Stanley looked at her dotingly.


    “Nah, it’s okay. You should go to yourpany. There’s a bunch of work waiting for you to settle.”


    “Okay then. Bring more bodyguards with you, alright? Which bank are you going to? I’ll give the


    manager a call so you guys can find him right away tomorrow,” Stanley offered.

    X immediately shook her head. “That’s too troublesome. Don’t worry. The bank is not that


    crowded in the morning. It won’t take us too much time.”


    Upon hearing that, Stanley nodded helplessly and admonished her, “Fine. Bring more bodyguards


    with you.”


    “I know what to do.”


    Later, X went upstairs to take a bath. She picked a white crop top, a pair of light blue ripped


    jeans, and a pair of white sandals from the checkroom and put them on.


    She bought this set of outfits from Amazon. It was cheap, but its quality was good, and it fitted her


    perfectly.


    She looked more energetic than usual in this outfit.


    X pulled her long wavy hair back into a low ponytail before taking a white cap from the rack and


    putting it on. She then grabbed her car keys and phone and left the house.


    She got into the ck Bentley Arnage and headed straight to the maid’s house with several


    bodyguards following closely behind her.


    X could see the maid’s parents standing in front of the house from a distance.


    They were still wearing the ck cotton suit and white flip-flops they wore during the funeral this


    morning.
