Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with these

dishes.

By the time Xyla Quest returned home, a thick layer of snow had already covered the courtyard floor.

Meanwhile, there were large red lanterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.

After quickly getting the car parked, Xyla hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house. As

soon as she walked in, she was greeted with warm air that replaced the chill in her body.

In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour looks

on their faces.

An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It

seem ed an intense fight had occurred earlier.

Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in the large space that the sound of a

needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.

The air seemed heavy and stuffy.

Everything had happened exactly as Xyla had imagined.

“Xyla, you are home…” Jeremy said. The coldness on his face slowly disappeared.

“Yeah,” Xyla slowly walked forward.

The fingerprints on her face seemed unusually clear under the light. Right then, the bruise had become

very apparent and made it seem much more serious than it was.

When Jeremy saw how badly her daughter was hit, he became even angrier.

“Does your face still hurt?” Jeremy asked worriedly.

“It’s not too bad,” Xyla answered.

“Have a seat,” Jeremy reached for Xyla’s hand and pulled her close to him.

Xyla sat right beside Jeremy. As soon as she sat down, she saw a divorce agreement on the coffee

table.

The words stood out to her. Without changing her facial expression, Xyla scanned May’s face as if it

was a passing gesture.

“If you think the terms are appropriate, hurry up and get it signed. I’ve already thought clearly through

this. I want a divorce,” Jeremy said as he glared at May.

Before this, he was still somewhat hesitant.

However, after finding out that May attacked Xyla, Jeremy stopped hesitating completely. There was no

way he could keep this woman around because she was still not ready to change her ways.

“No, please. Darling, I know I was wrong,” May immediately stood up and sat next to Xyla and held her

hand.

“Xyla, Aunty knows her mistakes. Please tell your father to change his mind,” May pleaded.

“Xyla, help Aunty, please. Won’t you do so? I promise I will treat you better from now on,” May cried out

hoarsely.

Clearly, she had already begged Xyla’s father many times to no avail.

The divorce was bound to happen.

“I can’t decide whether the divorce happens or not. It all depends on Dad,” Xyla said softly and calmly.

After that, Xyla gently pushed May’s hand away.

‘Begging for help?’ Xyla thought.

Ever since Xyla was a kid, nothing May did make Xyla feel the need to help her out.

When May saw how Xyla responded, she became even more upset.

However, May resisted the urge to show her anger. Instead, she turned around and kneeled in front of

Jeremy before pressing her palms together and rubbing them against each other repeatedly.

“Darling, I really had no idea about what Emily did… You must believe me! Why would I do anything to

harm our family business? As for hitting Xyla, I only did it because I overreacted. I am willing to

apologize to Xyla until she forgives me. If there is anything wrong with how I acted before, I promise to

change my ways. Darling, don’t do this to me, please? I’m very afraid,” May said as tears rolled down

her cheeks.
