It seemed like Jeremy Quest was serious about getting a divorce despite how badly it hurt him.

Xyla Quest did not react to it as she continued to hold Jeremy’s arm as they walked out the door.

After the snow from the night before, the courtyard was completely white. The servants and

bodyguards were occupied with clearing the snow.

After Xyla and her father greeted everyone, they proceeded to run out of the courtyard and continued

along the pedestrian lane.

By then, most of the snow in the middle of the road had already melted away. However, the snow on

both sides of the road had not completely melted yet, and sanitation workers were busy shoveling them

aside. Although the weather was cold, neither of them felt cold because they were exercising.

After running along the asphalt road for a few kilometers outside their house, the two leaned against a

wilted cherry blossom tree to rest

With their backs facing each other, they panted heavily. Their clothes were soaked all the way through.

“Now that you mention it, it really does feel good to run outside,” Jeremy said.

“Yeah… Dad, are you feeling better now?” Xyla asked.

“Much better,” he said.

“Do you really plan on getting a divorce?” Xyla asked.

“Yeah. I plan on giving her 200 million dollars and a house so that she will disappear from my

world,”Jeremy said as his face became sullen. It seemed as if his frown could never go away.

Xyla could feel how unwilling and hurt Jeremy was. Thus, she was starting to feel a little guilty. She

wondered if her act of repeatedly causing these scenes in front of her father was the wrong thing to do.

If he did not know about any of it, he might still be his old happy self. However, Xyla did not have a

choice. Her plans would only go smoothly once he found out about certain things.

If Xyla did not hold onto those grudges, she might have been able to tolerate all the pain she was going

through for the sake of peace in the family. However, there was no way she could do that now. What

happened before had allowed her to see through too many things.

Sometimes, on top of not soliciting friendly treatment from others, forbearance would only make other

people behave more harshly. When a person appeared too much like a softy, he or she would only

attract bullies.

However, if Xyla disregarded everything else and looked at this ordeal from a logical perspective, she

believed her father was doing the right thing by leaving May Conner.

May was even willing to put their family business on the chopping block to get what she wanted. There

was no telling what other horrible things this woman could do in the future.

Even so, the outcome might still change until the curtains came down. Xyla could not be too sure.

Therefore, she decided not to say anything and instead silently hugged Jeremy and patted him on the

back.

“Alright, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. Let’s return home for a bath and have breakfast

together,” Xyla said.

“Okay,” Jeremy answered.

At the same time, in Confinement Room 606 of the prison, May Conner and Emily Quest were given

their task of the day by the superior officers, which involved handkerchief embroidery with the other

female inmates.

They sat in rows of tens at a wide table. Everyone had an embroidery kit in front of them. They were

focused on sewing flowery patterns and drawings according to the pictures.

While most of the female inmates had dozens of white silk handkerchiefs that needed to be sewn, in

front of them, Emily and her mother had hundreds of them stacked before them.

Apart from Emily and May, everyone else seemed to be skilled at what they were doing.
