“Thank you, Aunty. Thank you, Sister,” Xyla Quest replied equally politely with a natural smile on her
face.
In social situations like this, it was necessary to appear cheerful even if Xyla was annoyed on the
inside.
“Sister and Brother-in-law, your seats are over there. Why don’t I lead you there?” Emily Quest asked
as she pointed at a table in the center of the living room. Currently, there were two empty seats at the
table. The guests seated at the table were mostly from May Conner’s side of the family. There were
also relatives to Xyla’s mother.
“That won’t be necessary,” Xyla answered calmly before pulling her hand away from May. After that,
Xyla held Stanley’s hand as they both walked to the empty seats.
After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton sat down, relatives to Xyla’s mother began asking her and Stanley

Once Emily and Tom Sullivan had greeted their guests a teach table, Tom quickly returned to his own
table. Meanwhile, Emily lifted her dress slightly before walking over to Xyla and tapping her shoulder
gently.
“Sister, I have something to tell you. Will you come with me upstairs?” Emily asked.
“Sure,” Xyla answered with a smile before she slowly put down her wine glass.
“I’ll come with you,” Stanley said.
“Brother-in-law, we would like to talk to each other in private regarding our sisterly affairs. Could you
please not come with us?” Emily asked in an amiable tone.
“Don’t worry,” Xyla whispered to Stanley before gently patting his hand and chuckling light-heartedly.
“Call me if anything happens,” Stanley said.
Xyla nodded and glared at Emily coldly before tugging at her white fox fur coat. She then slowly made
her way upstairs as Emily followed her from behind.
A cold and murderous aura exuded from Xyla where people could not see Xyla’s face.
After taking a few steps up the staircase, Xyla turned her head around gently to smile at Emily. Then,
she continued walking forward as if nothing was going on between them. Stanley did not take her eyes
off Xyla for a single moment. Coincidentally, he was able to see her turning around and smiling.
The smile on her face reminded him of flowers blooming in the spring.
Once they reached a corner along the staircase, Emily was the first to stop walking. The expression on
her face had turned cold.
“Let’s talk here, my dear sister.” Emily’s tone sounded equally cold.
Emily leaned gently against the wall with flower carvings before she looked down the stairs. She then
flicked her right thumb against the painted nail of her index finger.
Where they stood was a blind spot to the rest of the people downstairs.

Emily snorted coldly before raising her chin and taking a few quick steps toward Xyla until they were on
the same level. She then kept her arms crossed in front of her chest.
“After personally planning everything before, you must have been very happy, right? You must be
hugely disappointed that Mom and I are both fine now, huh? Xyla Quest, did you really think Mom and I
would be defeated by you this easily? You really have underestimated us,” Emily said loudly and
clearly.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. If you’re going to cause a scene without any reason, I’m afraid
I won’t put up with it,” Xyla said before softly pushing Emily away and prepared to walk downstairs.
However, without saying anything, Emily quickly ran after Xyla and lifted an arm to stop her from
leaving. “Leaving already? Did you think it would be this easy?” Emily asked.
