When Stanley Batton asked the question, Xyla Quest immediately knew what he was trying to say.“What do you think?” She asked softly as she smiled.Indeed, Stanley was a smart person. It explained why he could work for his big brother as an important member of the gang.“I think the same as you do,” Stanley said calmly. He was twirling his fingers around through the smoke.“How do you know what I’m thinking?” Xyla asked.After that, Xyla turned the car around with a seemingly trained motion as she spun the steering wheel and placed one hand against the car’s window frame.The way she was driving made her seem both beautiful and cool.“That’s because you are very smart,” he said.“You are also very smart. After all, you work for your big brother in a gang,” Xyla said.“What are you going to do next?” Stanley asked after taking another puff from the cigarette. With the smoke wafting in front of his face, it was getting difficult to see clearly his facial expression.“Investigate,” Xyla a
“Alright, I’ll be there. What time will it start on that day?” Xyla Quest agreed heartily.Xyla did not want to make things difficult for her father during such times.“Twelve o’clock, the day after tomorrow. You must remember to come with Stanley, got it?” Jeremy Quest sounded a lot happier.“Alright,” Xyla answered cheerfully.***The welcoming party for Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan was unusually grand.Many of the Quest family’s friends and relatives showed up. By eleven o’clock, the parking spaces inside and outside the courtyard were already filled with cars.Meanwhile, people kept pouring into the courtyard.In total, the Quest family had prepared sixty tables for their guests. Dressed in a festive outfit, May Conner wrapped her hands around Jeremy’s arm affectionately. While the two of them walked from table to table, May kept a broad smile on her face.Prior to this, many people were waiting for her to make a fool of herself. How many of them were anticipating her divorce with
Emily Quest glared coldly at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton before tugging at Tom Sullivan’s arm. She wanted to join Jeremy Quest and May Conner in greeting the other guests with a toast.However, Tom did not intend to leave. Silently, he stood and looked in Xyla and Stanley’s direction with mixed feelings.The couple with near-perfect looks were holding hands. Tom was pained by the sight of them standing together and attracting everyone’s attention around them.After not seeing Xyla for a long time, Tom found that she had become a lot prettier. Although Xyla barely had any make-up on, she seemed a lot more strikingly beautiful than Emily.Whenever Tom thought about how the woman he cared about might have hurt him, his eyes would turn cold. Now, he clenched his fists tightly.If Xyla threw tantrums, Tom might have been able to bear with her. However, if she hurt him at a deeper level, he would not bear with it.If Xyla really was the one who did those things to him, he swore he would ne
“Thank you, Aunty. Thank you, Sister,” Xyla Quest replied equally politely with a natural smile on her face.In social situations like this, it was necessary to appear cheerful even if Xyla was annoyed on the inside.“Sister and Brother-in-law, your seats are over there. Why don’t I lead you there?” Emily Quest asked as she pointed at a table in the center of the living room.Currently, there were two empty seats at the table. The guests seated at the table were mostly from May Conner’s side of the family. There were also relatives to Xyla’s mother.“That won’t be necessary,” Xyla answered calmly before pulling her hand away from May. After that, Xyla held Stanley’s hand as they both walked to the empty seats.After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton sat down, relatives to Xyla’s mother began asking her and Stanley questions about their life together.Xyla and Stanley politely answered their questions throughout.Once Emily and Tom Sullivan had greeted their guests at each table, Tom quickl
“Do you want to pick another fight?” Xyla Quest snorted coldly.The longer Xyla looked at Emily Quest’s face, the more annoyed she felt.“Yes, I’m picking a fight. Hit me if you dare,” Emily said obnoxiously as she stared at Xyla with a mean expression.After that, Emily took a step closer to Xyla and poked her finger into Xyla’s shoulder.“Although I don’t have proof that you are behind everything bad that happened to Brother Sullivan and my mother, I know very well that it was you, Xyla Quest. There isn’t another heartless b*tch like you in this world. Clearly, you are a shameless creature. However, you pretend to be polite every day. Do you not get tired? Do you know what people like you are? You are a b*tch who appears innocent and charming but is actually calculating and manipulative. You are incapable of doing anything to my mother or me. As long as you are alive, Mom and I won’t be defeated, and we won’t let you have your way. Xyla Quest, all I did was steal your boyfriend away
“Wham—”Emily Quest’s face immediately turned red, where Xyla Quest had slapped her.“Xyla Quest… You… How dare you hit me…? Do you have a death wish?” Emily asked with her eyes wide open as she struggled to set herself free.Despite her efforts, Emily was not doing herself any favor at all. Left without a choice, Emily knocked her head against Xyla’s head forcefully.The instant their heads collided, Xyla felt a sharp pain in her head. Her vision turned dark suddenly as she subconsciously loosened her grip on Emily.Emily immediately used the opportunity to push Xyla away and ran a few steps down the stairs before lying down directly.“You are dead,” Emily said as she glared at Xyla.As soon as Emily finished speaking, she began screaming down the stairs.“Ahh! Ahh! Help me!!!” Emily screamed.After that, she began rolling down the stairs.Emily looked like a ball that had gone out of control as her body rolled down unusually quickly down the stairs.Her pitiful cry attracted everyone
When everyone heard what was said, they were horrified. Even Jeremy Quest’s face had turned dark.“Oh, god. Hasn’t Xyla Quest gone too far? How could she do that to Emily Quest’s child even if she has a problem with Emily?” Someone said.“That’s right. Adults should deal with problems on their own. Children are innocent,” another person added.“I can’t believe a gentle person like Xyla is actually so evil,” someone said.The surrounding audience began to discuss among themselves. To them, Xyla was an evil woman right then.Emily was in a poor state.Meanwhile, Emily continued to moan as she paid close attention to the voices around her. When she noticed that everyone’s facial expressions had changed, she felt incredibly satisfied.Emily knew that today was the day Xyla’s reputation would be ruined. It was all over for Xyla.Likewise, May thought the same thing. She could not wait to watch Xyla be kicked out of the house. In fact, she could not wait to see how Xyla would go down with a
Emily Quest was the first to hit the ground. Tom Sullivan then landed on top of her, which instantly caused Emily to cry out in pain.“Ouch… It hurts. I want to go to the hospital. Brother-in-law, why are you doing this to me?” Emily asked while she panted.However, Stanley remained calm and behaved as if he was not the person who just kicked Tom.“Help… Everyone, help me. Help!” Emily cried out continuously.“Stanley, don’t you think that’s too much? Your wife is committing murder right now! Are you just going to let her do that?” Emily’s uncle yelled coldly as he glared at Stanley.Stanley slowly shifted his gaze over to the man.“Yeah, even if she kills somebody, I’ll let her do it,” he said.The man was immediately lost for words.“This is getting out of hand! The couple is heartless! They should both die!” Someone in the crowd yelled out.“Someone, come and take Emily away for me!” May Conner quickly yelled out.However, Xyla Quest began to smile broadly.Within a second, Xyla wal
