Xyla Quest did not dare to tell her father the entire truth.

Since Jeremy Quest was a man of tradition, he would be enraged if he found out Xyla got married to a

stranger to recover her looks. More importantly, the fact that she remained in a marriage, which lacked

solid foundations and might even end up being divorced.

Perhaps, Jeremy might think that Xyla lacked self-love and was a harlot.

Instead of telling the truth, which might make him upset, Xyla thought it was a better idea to create a

story where she and her husband were living a happily married life. This would make Jeremy feel a lot

better. Therefore, Xyla needed to make sure the story was perfectly logical. More importantly, she must

appear very happy in this story.

After finishing her sentence, Xyla immediately stood up and kneeled in front of Jeremy. “I’m sorry, Dad.

I should not have done something like this behind your back.”

There was a serious expression on her face.

Xyla was saying those words from the bottom of her heart. To be honest, she felt guilty about keeping

such a thing from her father all this while. However, she did not have a choice back then.

If Xyla did not recover her beauty back then, many things would not have gone as smoothly as she

wished. Moreover, she did not want to remain as a hideous lady and allow Emily to step all over her for

the rest of her life.

When Emily and May saw what had transpired, they both smiled at each other satisfactorily before

turning to look at Jeremy and waiting for him to announce his punishment against Xyla.

“Do you think Dad will let you off the hook this easily? Aren’t you too naive?” Emily snorted coldly.

When Jeremy saw how sincere Xyla seemed when she told her story, his frown immediately faded.

After letting out a long sigh, Jeremy carefully helped Xyla up and allowed her to sit next to him on the

armrest. He completely ignored Emily as he did so. After that, he held Xyla’s hand. “I understand. You

naturally could not refuse love and warmth when you were suffering through so much all on your own.”

Emily and May were both shocked by Jeremy’s response. They never imagined Jeremy would react

this positively.

How could this happen when they were prepared for a good show?

At that moment, the duo clasped their hands together angrily.

“Since that man gave you a second chance at life, and he has such a wonderful grandson, I can say

that you did a good thing by repaying him in kind,” Jeremy added.

When Xyla saw how Jeremy reacted, she felt even more sorry. Her eyes began to fill with tears. “Dad,

I’m sorry.”

“Indeed, you have done something wrong against me. You should have discussed it with me before

you made the decision. In fact, not only would I not refuse you, I would even have held a grand

wedding for you.”

Jeremy’s face became sullen when they talked about this.

“Sorry…”

“Alright. Stop being sorry. What does he do? Since he is the grandchild of a doctor, I’m sure he works

in a respectable field.” Jeremy seemed very concerned.

Since things have gotten this far, he had no choice but to accept it.

“He has always been by the doctor’s side and learned from him. He plans to establish a hospital in the

country once he completes his studies.”

“How old is he?” Jeremy asked.

“Twenty eight, ” Xyla answered without thinking about it.

Although she did not know much about her husband, she at least knew his age.

“Dad, stop listening to Xyla’s nonsense. I bet she made everything up, including the doctor and his

grandson, supposedly a medical student.”

“The truth was she got married to a lowly being and didn’t have the guts to tell you about him.” Emily

was very straightforward.

“In that case, why don’t you check if there’s a doctor called Dr. Batton? Find out if he has a grandson…

Aren’t you very good at playing detective? Why don’t you gather all the information?” Xyla said

confidently.

“Emily Quest, shut up. All you do is make a mess of everything under the sun,” Jeremy yelled coldly.

Ever since Jeremy’s attitude toward Emily shifted for the worse, he began to feel annoyed regardless of

what she did.

Although Emily seemed as if she was eager to continue insulting Xyla, May quickly covered her mouth

and pinched her thigh forcefully. “Shut up! Can’t you see that your father is angry?” She warned.

“I think it’s great that he wishes to establish a hospital. If he needs help, I can support him financially,”

Jeremy said.

Although a family of doctors did not fare as well as their family did financially, it was still a respectable

profession. Jeremy was rather pleased with the idea.
