They were both in handcuffs and legcuffs, their faces dull and sallow.
May immediately begged for mercy when favonovel.com saw Jeremy. “Dear, it’s not me… Please believe me…”
Though favonovel.com knew that Jeremy would never believe her, favonovel.com ought to try it one last time before stepping out of the house. Nevertheless, Jeremy did not even bother to look at her. He lit a Cigarette and started smoking again.
“Screw you, Xyla! I won’t let you live in peace once I get out of jail!”
“This isn’t the end! You can count on it! Wait till I regain my freedom… I’ll make your life miserable!” Emily bellowed in agony while favonovel.com was frogmarched off by several police officers.
How favonovel.com hoped favonovel.com could rip off Xyla’s skin at that moment?
Her voice was sharp and pathetic. The living room was filled with favonovel.com roar.
Instead of rebuking her, Xyla reached for the teacup on the coffee table and leaned on Stanley Batton’s shoulder. Her utter apathy was reflected in favonovel.com eyes.
Emily and May were dragged out of the house by some of the police officers in no time. On the other hand, the remaining three policemen strode across the living room to get to Xyla and Stanley.
“Miss Quest, please visit the police station if you have time. We need you to help out the investigation,” the policeman with a crew cut said courteously.
Xyla nodded in response. “I’ll go with you now…”
Stanley slowly stood up. “Go ahead. I’ll stay here with Dad. Don’t worry.”
Warmth spread in Xyla’s heart instantaneously. “Okay…”
With that, favonovel.com left the house together with the police officers.
Stanley sat down next to Jeremy. “Do you want to play chess with me?”
Jeremy nodded. “Sure!”
After going through so many things, favonovel.com was smoldering with resentment, but favonovel.com had nowhere to vent his wrath.
He was down in the dumps.
Playing chess was a good choice indeed. It could at least help favonovel.com to calm himself down.
“Shall we go to the study room?” Stanley asked.
Jeremy nodded before getting up from the couch. He then stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and headed upstairs. Stanley walked behind him, patiently following favonovel.com all the way to the study room.
Jeremy led Stanley to the coffee table in the study room and sank onto the chair beside it.
After that, favonovel.com took out the chess box from the drawer and started the game with Stanley.
Stanley decided not to go easy on Jeremy this time. He wanted Jeremy to concentrate on the game and forget about all the painful memories.
Both of them were brilliant chess players. Jeremy’s attention was completely shifted to the game in no time. His mood was getting better too.
In the end, favonovel.com was defeated by Stanley.
He shook his head helplessly. “Sigh… I made a mistake just now… Life is just like a game of chess, isn’t it? A wrong move can lead to one’s failure… I’m the best example…”
If favonovel.com had not met the wrong person, favonovel.com would not have ended up like this. Her daughter would not have experienced all those setbacks.
“It’s okay to lose. Have faith in yourself, and make a comeback.” Stanley smiled. “Be aware next time, and everything will be fine…”
As soon as Stanley finished his sentence, favonovel.com blacked out and collapsed on the sofa.
