When Xyla Quest heard that, she was instantly dumbfounded.
Her mind went blank.
She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
Two days ago, Emily Quest was still boasting about how she would deal with Xyla in the future. How did she die just like that?
And how did May Conner die so suddenly too?
“How did they die?” Xyla asked.
Stanley Batton could vaguely overhear the conversation between Xyla and her father.
His facial expression instantly became serious.
He didn’t say anything, but he quickly sat up and moved closer to Xyla so that he could hear what Jeremy was saying.
“Emily killed herself. Your aunt suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage… They both died yesterday,” Jeremy said.
This sudden news left Xyla in a state of disbelief.
She really didn’t think the two of them would end up like this.
The other day, when Xyla saw Emily, Emily didn’t look like she would kill herself at all.
Emily even said through gritted teeth that she would get her revenge against Xyla once she got out of prison.
However, apart from feeling shocked, Xyla didn’t feel any other emotion.
Now, she was most worried about her father. “Dad, are you alright?”
“I thought I hated them to the point that I wouldn’t care even if they died, but the truth isn’t so… They left so suddenly. My heart still aches…” Jeremy wasn’t concealing his feelings at all.
“Dad, I’ll come back to you right away. My condolences… We’ll talk when I get back,” Xyla said.
“Alright. Their funeral will be held at parlor No. 1 in Municipal Funeral Home. The cremation will be held tomorrow morning,” Jeremy said.
By the time the Batton family’s private jet arrived in Atlantis, it was already five o’clock local time.
The daylight period during the early part of summer lasted much longer than in spring.
By then, the entire city was still brightly lit.
Stanley and Xyla got out of the plan before directly getting into a black Rolls-Royce.
Zack was driving, and the two of them sat in the backseat.
Meanwhile, the other bodyguards got into other cars meant for security.
Right after that, the group of luxury cars started heading quickly to Atlantis’ Municipal Funeral Home.
Throughout the journey, Xyla’s phone kept notifying her with news of Emily and May passing away.
Xyla wasn’t in the mood to read the news. Instead, she glanced at the international news before putting her phone into her purse.
