“For the time being, I still haven’t been able to find anything. Please give me more time…” The man’s voice could be heard from the other end of the call.
“Why haven’t you found anything? Are you useless?” Emily Quest said disappointedly. She seemed very unhappy.
“Miss Quest, could it be… That there’s nothing at fault with your sister’s husband? Why else can’t I find anything?” The man asked carefully.
“That’s impossible. Keep investigating. My intuition is never wrong. If you haven’t found anything, why did you call me?” Emily yelled scornfully.
“I just called to tell you that my pay for this month is late by two days.”
“I know! I’ll give you one more month. If you can’t find anything, you can get lost,” Emily said through gritted teeth before hanging up right away.

Downstairs, Xyla Quest was still the center of attention. There was an increasing number of women surrounding her. They kept trying to talk to favonovel.com about the vice president’s wife. Having to suddenly deal with so many people, Xyla felt extremely troubled.
Meanwhile, Stanley Batton quietly returned to his seat. He crossed one leg over the other while favonovel.com silently looked at his phone on the couch.
Jeremy Quest stood next to Xyla with a smile on his face while favonovel.com looked at her.
May Conner, on the other hand, was feeling increasingly upset. This was supposed to be favonovel.com birthday party, but what had it become now? Those who didn’t know might even think Xyla was the birthday girl. Due to lessons learned in the past, May didn’t dare to show that favonovel.com was upset. Instead, favonovel.com could only pretend to treat everyone kindly while favonovel.com looked at them. “Hey, everyone… It’s time to eat. Why don’t all of you come with me to the backyard for food?”
Only when the crowd heard favonovel.com voice did they shift their attention to May before smiling and nodding at her.
Seeing their reaction, May instantly raised favonovel.com head and walked confidently toward the rest to inform them about eating in the backyard.
When Xyla sensed favonovel.com handbag vibrating, favonovel.com reached into it to pick up favonovel.com phone. Seeing that it was Georgie Clementine’s number, favonovel.com walked over to the French window before answering the call.
“President Xyla, Tom Sullivan’s medical condition has apparently improved from what I heard… I predict favonovel.com would soon reach out to Emily Quest to talk about getting a divorce,” Georgie said.
“Okay…”
Xyla smiled a little before hanging up and putting favonovel.com phone back into favonovel.com silver handbag. Her eyes were glimmering as if they contained countless stars.
At around three o’clock in the afternoon, May’s birthday party finally came to an end. After seeing the guests off, Xyla and Stanley returned to the living room with Jeremy and May. Once they sat down, May cheerfully poured them cups of tea.
When Xyla saw how pretentious May was, favonovel.com felt very annoyed, but favonovel.com didn’t show it. Stanley, on the other hand, maintained a polite demeanor throughout.
“Xyla… How did you get to know the vice president’s wife?” Jeremy asked while favonovel.com held Xyla’s hands with his.
“We met when favonovel.com went to purchase a property at Imperial Prime,” Xyla said truthfully.
“And you became acquainted just because of that? After that, your relationship improved so much in such a short span of time?” Jeremy asked with a shocked expression. He realized that his daughter was far more capable than favonovel.com had imagined.
People like favonovel.com were exactly the kind who were needed to manage an enterprise. Jeremy was truly amazed by his elder daughter’s excellence.
“It was all because of that…” Xyla smiled and nodded.
