Chapter 1706


    The person calling X Quest was Georgie Clementine.


    Having woken up naturally, X felt that the exhaustion from working on Josh Batton''s wedding had suddenly disappeared...


    She now felt at ease.


    Due to a good night''s sleep, she was in an excellent mood.


    After slowly stretching her body, she reached for her phone that was ringing on the nightstand. She nced at it.


    "Hey, Georgie..." X said.


    X''s voice was soft and had azy quality to it. It was very pleasant to listen to.


    "Tom is dead..." Georgie said.


    X was very shocked by what she heard.


    She was just told not long ago that Tom Sullivan was in rehab for doing drugs.


    Suddenly, she was told he was dead.


    Apart from feeling shocked, X didn''t feel anything else when she found out about this.


    The man, who once meant the world to her when she was younger, didn''t even make her feel the slightest bit sad when he died.


    "How did he die?" X asked subconsciously.


    After that, X slowly sat upright.


    Her long, ck, curly hair naturally fell down her back as she sat up.


    The soft, flowy texture made her seem even more striking.


    Even if X had only just woken up, she was still gorgeous.


    This phone call also woke Stanley Batton.


    He slowly opened his eyes before reaching out and pulling X into his arms tightly.


    "I heard he suffered from withdrawal and bit his tongue off because it felt too terrible...


    "There wasn''t any professional caretaker around when it happened. So that''s how he ended up dead.


    "This responsibility falls on the rehab center. But, logically speaking, somebody should''ve been around to watch over him when something serious like this happened.


    "However, the person who was supposed to keep an eye on Tom was cking off... That''s why...


    "Tom''s family is furious. After all, at


    the end of the day, Tom was still their son. Tony is distraught. He vowed to get to the bottom of it and me it on the rehab center.” Georgie exined carefully.


    "Understood..." X said.


    "That jerk deserved to end up like this... Karma always strikes back. Nobody is spared," Georgie added.


    Nearby, Stanley calmly listened to the conversation without saying anything.


    Likewise, he didn''t feel any particr emotion regarding this matter.


    After briefly chatting with Georgie, X hung up. She then curled Stanley''s arms. "Life is truly fragile..."


    "Yes... What would you like for breakfast?" Stanley asked.


    "I want the pork rib noodles you make..." X said.


    "Alright. I''ll make it for you," Stanley said.


    After that, Stanley got out of bed and went to get cleaned up.


    Meanwhile, X didn''t feel like getting up yet. So she decided toze on the bed for a while longer.


    After picking up her phone, X unlocked it.


    Various news articles appeared on her phone screen through the news applications...


    The same person''s name appeared on each of the news articles—Tom Sullivan.


    "The Sullivan Group''s heir, Tom Sullivan, has died..."Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Tom Sullivan was arrested for doing drugs. He was found dead in a rehab center."


    "X Quest''s ex-boyfriend, Tom Sullivan, died in a rehab center.”


    “Shocking! X Quest''s ex-boyfriend, Tom Sullivan,mitted suicide by biting his tongue off!"


    X wasn''t interested in any of it. Hence, she cleared all the notifications before opening Weibo.


    She wanted to see if any of herpany''s artists were on the list of hot topics.


    Upon opening the list of hot topics X saw #X Quest''s
