Stanley Batton affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair and looked down at her. “Is it good?”Xyla nodded.Zack Cassidy had bought the black pepper flavored steak she liked. The texture was excellent. Not only was the meat tender, but it was also juicy. Xyla liked it a lot.“Have some more, okay?” Stanley said.With that, he gracefully picked up his knife and fork, and he started to enjoy the delicious food.When others saw that Stanley was eating, they eagerly picked up their knives and forks, and they started to eat too.They ate and discussed work over the meeting at the same time. Everyone still seemed serious.After finishing her steak, Xyla carefully opened a bottle of strawberry milk tea. She drank it while she played with her phone.Once she finished drinking the milk tea, she felt exhausted.Hence, she leaned against her chair and was prepared to rest with her eyes closed for a while.However, she somehow ended up falling asleep without realizing it.Not long after

Under the warm, gentle light, Xyla Quest’s face seemed like a peeled lychee fruit that was soft and delicate.Her eyes were shining brightly like a thousand stars.When Stanley Batton looked at her face, he felt as if a once empty space in his heart had been instantly filled.This woman was way too beautiful.No matter how often he looked at her, he would still be impressed.“Tell me, why are you so pretty? Hmm?” Stanley’s eyes were filled with affection.Xyla’s smile widened. “Hmm… It’s most probably because my parents both looked good…”“Hmm… Xyla Quest, I think I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you. What do I do?” Stanley said.Before meeting Xyla, Stanley never thought he’d one day fall for a woman like this.Even more so, he never thought he’d be this interested in any woman. In fact, he would feel disturbed for not seeing her for a single day. He wished he could tie this woman to his waist and bring her with him wherever he went.His straightforward words made Xy

After the entourage of black luxury cars left the airport, they sped all the way.Finally, the cars stopped in front of parlor No.1 at Municipal Funeral Home.All sorts of black luxury cars were parked in the parking lot.There were white lanterns hung all around the courtyard where the funeral was held.The sky seemed gray and dull.It was as if the entire world was shrouded in a haze.The door of the parlor was wide open.Xyla Quest could clearly see Emily Quest and May Conner’s coffins surrounded by a large pile of wreaths.There were also countless wreaths placed neatly by both sides of the parlor’s entrance.There were also black-and-white photos of the both of them smiling widely on the wall behind the coffins.Jeremy Quest was sitting motionless in front of their coffins. He seemed to be hunching a little from behind. It was as if he had suddenly aged by a few years.All the Quest family’s close friends and family members were here. Right then, some of them were linin

About half an hour later, Jeremy Quest trembled as he stood up. He walked directly to Xyla Quest. “Please go home and pack up your aunt and Emily’s belongings. We’ll bury those things with the two of them tomorrow,” he said.After saying that, Jeremy looked at Stanley Batton. “Stan, please stay here and look after the guests.”“Okay,” Xyla replied. After that, Xyla walked out of the parlor with Stanley. She then left the funeral home with a group of bodyguards waiting outside.***Back at the Quest family’s place, Xyla led the servants into Emily’s room to sort out her personal belongings.They first took the jewelry on Emily’s dresser and put them into a leather case.After that, they went into Emily’s closet to continue sorting stuff out. They placed all of Emily’s clothes, some accessories, and her shoes into the leather case.“What is this? Ms. Xyla, come and have a look, quickly…” A female servant suddenly called out.Xyla happened to be holding a few items of clothing and

“Everyone, leave for now… Don’t touch anything inside this room. Leave it all to me,” Xyla Quest said.The servants were more than happy to hear this. As soon as they heard what Xyla said, they all ran outside.Once everyone had left, Xyla shifted her gaze back to the box in the drawer.Upon taking a closer look, she discovered a piece of red paper beneath the box.She knew there would be secrets regardless of whether it was the box before her eyes or the paper beneath the box.If something terrifying wasn’t hidden inside, Emily Quest definitely wouldn’t have used a box that contained such a mechanism.Although Xyla badly wanted to know what was inside, she didn’t dare to just touch it.Xyla could only suppress her curiosity and carefully push the drawer back inside.She’d have to look for someone professional to solve this mystery.Otherwise, she would end up like the female servant earlier.From the odd symbols on the wall to the strange box in front of her, Xyla realized m
