May Conner instantly shuddered.Emily Quest forced a bitter smile, looking lost and confused. “Dad doesn’t care about me anymore?”Bailey Ronson, who was standing beside her, felt like she would explode the next second. Success was just around the corner before it blew up in her face. How come their plan did not work?Why was everyone from the Quest family so strange and unpredictable?“Mom, what should I do now?” Emily looked at May anxiously.“Your father looks determined. If he’s not going to change his mind, I’m afraid that there’s nothing else we can do. He’ll hate me if I come up with some sorts of ideas again.” May sighed helplessly.Though it had been a long time since the last time Jeremy Quest almost divorced her, that horrible experience still haunted her.“What if I attempt suicide again?” Emily asked.“For all I know, that’s not going to help.” May let out a deep sigh once more before fixing her gaze upon Bailey. “You’ll have to fend for yourself from now on. Emily
“That’s not going to happen. There will be a way!” Emily Quest had made up her mind.***After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton had a little chat with Sharon Lindt, the two of them left the house hand in hand.It was late at night, and the night sky was aglow with the bright silvery moon. The stars were hardly seen tonight. There were only a few of them around the moon.The fragrance of flowers danced along with the breeze, keeping the two’s minds refreshed in the late night.Xyla’s foot still hurt, so she did not change her shoes. She was wearing the same pair of pink slippers she wore at home.“Let’s go home…” Stanley held her hand and got into the car with her.Xyla fastened her seat belt while looking at him. “I thought we’re going to meet Sebastian Brenand and the rest?”“Your foot hurts. We’ll meet them next time,” answered Stanley.“Nah, I can walk perfectly fine. I’m not so dramatic, okay?” Xyla said again, “It happens to women all the time.”“Are you sure?” Stanley’s ey
Josh Batton managed a faint smile. “Let’s continue with the interview…”On the other side, Xyla Quest was quietly reading the news using Stanley Batton’s phone after ending her call with Josh.Stanley reached out to her. Obediently, Xyla freed her right hand and held his, their fingers intertwined tightly.Very soon, Stanley’s car had arrived at the main entrance of the Unconscious Bar.The bar was very lively at this hour. Numerous people were walking in and out of the bar, bustling the night with noises and excitement.The luxury cars in front of the bar were as spectacular as those in a car show.After the two of them got out of the car, they went into the bar together hand-in-hand.The bar was super crowded inside. Music was blasting through the speakers, and fancy lights were flashing in all directions.The music played over the dance floor as if it had fused the bodies, hearts pounding to the crazy beats like they belonged to the music. Everyone in the bar was hyped up.
Xyla Quest and Georgie Clementine exchanged looks and smirked. Neither of them took her words seriously.They wondered who her boyfriend was and why did she keep threatening them using his name.While Xyla caressed Georgie’s cheek, she asked with a concerned face, “Does it hurt?”Georgie shook her head, trying to reassure Xyla that she was fine.About five minutes later, Sebastian Brenand stalked out of the elevator. Noticing Sebastian’s arrival, the social media influencer quickly ran toward him and hugged his arm. She began to wail miserably, “Sob… Dear, that two women over there bullied me.”“Who has the nerve to touch my girl?” Sebastian looked gloomy. Without hesitation, the social media influencer pointed at Xyla and Georgie.Sebastian looked in the direction where she was pointing and found Xyla and Georgie staring at him.Like Sebastian, the two of them were surprised at his appearance. They had never expected him to be the social media influencer’s patron.Xyla shr
The social media influencer was beginning to feel increasingly embarrassed.After watching her leave, Sebastian Brenand walked up to Xyla. “I would like to apologize to both of you once again. I didn’t know she was like that. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have brought her along.”None of the women Sebastian got to know lately had spared him from trouble, and none of them were as pleasant to look at as Rachel Wood.“It’s okay. It wasn’t your fault,” Xyla said with a chuckle.“Let’s go. Come up with me, Sister-in-law,” Sebastian said before looking over at Georgie Clementine. “You should come up with us too.”Right then, Henry Armstrong leisurely walked out of the lift. He then saw Georgie, Xyla, and Sebastian standing together.Henry immediately smiled and approached them.At one glance, he noticed the fingerprint mark on Georgie’s face. “What happened? Who hit you?” Henry asked.“It’s the entertainer I brought with me. She started the fight for no reason, causing a scene with Xyla a
“The entertainer I brought with me spilled wine all over Xyla. She even caused a scene and later attacked Georgie,” Sebastian Brenand said truthfully with a worried expression on his face.Henry Armstrong remained silent as he pulled Georgie Clementine by her hand to the couch. He then forced her to sit down.After that, he swiftly retrieved a few chunks of ice from an ice bucket on the table. He then wrapped the ice in a wet napkin and gently pressed the makeshift ice pack against Georgie’s face.The coolness spread across Georgie’s face, lessening the burning sensation on her face.“Thank you,” Georgie said. Her attitude remained cold.“Don’t mention it.” Henry sat with one leg crossed over the other.Georgie didn’t say anything else. She grabbed the ice pack and continued to press it against her face.Stanley then turned to look at Sebastian coldly. “Don’t bring any random people over in the future,” he said.Sebastian quickly nodded and apologized. “Alright, alright. I know
However, Sebastian Brenand’s singing was unbearably terrible.Everyone began to feel goosebumps all over their body. Stanley Batton glanced briefly at Sebastian before covering Xyla Quest’s eyes.When Henry Armstrong saw Stanley doing so, he also covered Georgie Clementine’s ears.Georgie immediately tried to pull his hands away, but she failed to do so.Despite seeing what happened, Sebastian ignored them and continued to serenade himself.By the end of the song, everyone let out long sighs of relief…Georgie pushed Henry’s hands away in a huff before rolling her eyes at him.To Henry, Georgie had an ice-cold personality, and she was also quick-tempered. However, he still found her attractive and interesting.The more Georgie behaved like this, the more Henry desired to have her.Stanley also pulled his hands away from Xyla’s ears and poured her another glass of cocktail.“You lot just don’t know how to appreciate my good singing,” Sebastian complained before returning to Ga
When Sebastian Brenand saw what happened, his heart tightened, and he began to feel goosebumps all over his head.The bleeding became worse, and soon blood covered nearly half of the bed.Although Sebastian had seen what happened when women went through their periods, he had never seen this much blood on those occasions. Hence, he knew that Rachel Wood was lying!Sebastian quickly carried Rachel in his arms and ran out of the door.After placing her in the backseat of his car, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off.He drove extremely fast on the road.Meanwhile, Rachel continued to bleed, and her face was getting paler by the second.In the car’s enclosed space, the strong scent of blood wafting through Sebastian’s nose made him feel even more panicked.What happened to her?Although Sebastian had gone through many challenges growing up, and had been with many women before, he had never felt like this before.He had never felt this worried about anyone.Very soon, they
