Chapter 1701


    It all felt new to Annabeth Cates.


    "If you talk about the Cates family behind their backs again, I won''t let you off the hook," X Quest warned. Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm.


    "..." The two women nodded respectfully but remained silent.


    When Annabeth heard this, she could immediately guess why X was upset.


    Suddenly, she felt extremely grateful on the inside.


    The better she got to know X, the more she understood why Stanley Batton and Josh Batton were head over heels in love with her.


    That was because X wasn''t only good-looking, but she was also an upright person.


    Even Annabeth herself, despite being a woman, was soon falling for X, let alone the two men.


    X was a good-looking, fit, upright, generous, intelligent, and well-educateddy from a wealthy family. Who wouldn''t like her?


    X wasn''t an ordinary girl like Annabeth couldpare to.


    When X lifted her head, she saw Annabeth looking at her like a fangirl who was stunned in ce.


    Seeing this, X''s cold expression immediately faded away. She approached Annabeth with a smile and held her hand. "Annabeth, why aren''t you dancing?"


    "I''m tired... I saw that the tiramisu cake looked good. So I brought you and Stanley some..." Annabeth said.


    X carefully took the two tes from Annabeth when she heard this. "Thank you..."


    "I should be the one thanking you. They were talking about my family behind my back, weren''t they? Thank you for standing up on their behalf...


    "I know my family members don''t act like other people around here, but it''s only because they haven''t seen much of the world.


    “That''s why they find everything in a ce like this new and exciting. They like all the food..." Annabeth exined earnestly.


    “Nothing is embarrassing about it. Being curious about the world is a good thing..." X said casually.


    X''s extremely high emotional quotient andforting words made Annabeth feel at ease.


    "Let''s go. We''ll sit over there and chat..." X nodded in the direction of the coffee table.


    "Sure..." Annabeth was very d.


    After that, X held the two tes of Cake and led Annabeth over

    wasn''t hiding the fact that she liked X.


    "You''re a very nice person too. I like you a lot." X chuckled before holding Annabeth''s hand.


    By the time the ball ended, it was alreadyte at night...

    Meanwhile, X and Stanley took a private car to the international airport.


    They then took a private jet back to Antis.


    When everyone arrived at Antis, it was already two o''clock in the afternoon.


    The weather was warm despite it being winter, and indeed it was unusually good weather.


    As soon as the couple got out of the jet, they were stunned by what they saw...
