Emily Quest glared coldly at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton before tugging at Torn 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 never let her off the hook.

While scanning through the crowd, Xyla’s gaze eventually landed upon Tom’s face. When their eyes

met, Xyla felt physically uncomfortable after seeing his cold gaze. Although she knew what the look on

his face meant, she did not care at all.

Xyla knew what the Sullivan family had been investigating recently. However, Xyla continued to hold

Stanley’s hand without changing her facial expression before walking over politely to Jeremy.

“Dad, we’re here,” she said with a smile.

“Xyla, Stanley, there are all my business partners. Say hello to your uncles and aunties,” Jeremy said

proudly as he held Xyla and Stanley’s hands.

“This is my eldest daughter and her husband. You’ve all met them before,” Jeremy looked at the people

seated around the table.

Since Xyla and Stanley were the best-looking couples there, they attracted people’s attention wherever

they went.

“Uncles and aunties, nice to meet you,” Xyla said.

“Nice to meet you,” Stanley said as he nodded politely at the group of people.

“Xyla, your husband looks very accomplished,” one of the middle-aged women said without taking her

eyes off Stanley.

“Yeah, I was there when Emily got married. I saw how your husband checked someone’s pulse. He

seemed very professional,” another middle-aged woman complimented.

When her wedding was mentioned, Emily and Tom’s expressions immediately turned cold. Due to the

various adverse events surrounding their wedding, it had become something the two of them wanted to

avoid talking about.

Sensing that Emily and Tom were clearly upset, the woman awkwardly cleared her throat before

changing the topic.

“Mr. Quest, you really are lucky that both your daughters are married to successful men,” she said with

a laugh.

“Haha… Not at all,” Jeremy said humbly.

“Xyla, this dress looks really good on you. I love it,” May said after walking over to Xyla and circling her

hands around Xyla’s arm.

“Elder sister, Brother-in-law, you are here. Your outfits seem to be a great match,” Emily said warmly as

she looked at Xyla and Stanley.

Since Xyla was not used to this kind of attitude, which they rarely exhibited, she felt goosebumps all

over her body. Although this seemed odd, it was all within Xyla’s expectations. After how her father

dealt with these two women, they naturally had to pretend to be obedient in front of him.

When Jeremy saw how Emil and May behaved, he smiled satisfactorily. Meanwhile, Tom nodded

politely at Xyla and Stanley without saying a word. He seemed very cold and distant.

“Yeah,” Xyla nodded at them politely.

Likewise, Stanley nodded at them politely without saying anything.
