Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1063

"What's the matter?" Stanley Batton asked.

"I clearly told you last night that I was going to the office today," Xyla Quest said.

On the other side of the phone, Stanley was sitting in the conference room at Dragon Group's headquarters. He was in the main seat.

All around him were some of the company's high-level executives.

The meeting hadn't officially started yet, and people were still coming in one by one.

Meanwhile, everyone who passed by Stanley could hear the voice on the phone clearly...

Zack Cassidy, who was standing next to Stanley from the start, was especially able to hear the entire call.

Zack awkwardly cleared his throat.

It turned out that Mr. Batton was this kind of man...

When Stanley heard Zack clearing his throat, he instantly frowned a little. Subconsciously, he looked around at the people in the meeting room. After that, he stood up and walked out. Stanley leaned lazily against the wall outside the meeting room. "Alright, I know I was wrong. I'll be careful next time, okay?"

Xyla knew that Stanley didn't mean what he said.

In reality, he meant to say, 'Yeah, I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time'.

Xyla sat up with much difficulty. "I don't believe a word you say right now."

"If you don't believe me, who will you believe? Hmm? Be good. I'll make you something delicious tonight to make up for it."

Stanley had a gentle look in his eyes, and he seemed full of affection.

He was able to coax her into a good mood by just saying a few words.

"In that case, I want to eat braised pork and steamed fish. I want you to make those dishes personally. Alright, I'm getting out of bed," Xyla said.

"Okay. I've made breakfast. It's in the kitchen. Heat it in the microwave and eat it later," Stanley said.

"Alright. I'm hanging up..." Xyla said.

Everyone who passed by Stanley and saw him like this couldn't help but give him a strange look... Soon, the meeting room was buzzing with excitement.

"Is our CEO actually this kind of person?"

"Why do I feel that he's changed into a different person? What do you guys think? Oh my god."

"The CEO actually cooks at home. I heard him telling his wife that he made breakfast!"

"As a woman, I honestly feel jealous. Indeed, nice husbands always belong to other people."

"It's really hard to imagine our CEO changing from his suit into an apron, as well as him washing his hands before he cooks soup."

"Ms. Quest is a definite winner in life. Isn't our CEO absolutely the best husband ever?"

***

After hanging up the phone, Xyla walked into the bathroom with much difficulty.

She then washed up and ate breakfast. Once she was done, she put on some light makeup and changed into a lavender, chiffon, layered dress with straps before heading downstairs. Her long hair was pulled back into a neat, tall ponytail. There was a stylish lavender bow on top of her ponytail. At one glance, she seemed very feminine.

Just as Xyla was about to head out, Ron Batton entered the house.

When Xyla saw him, she immediately stepped forward and greeted him with a smile. “Grandpa... Come here. I have something good to show you."

"What is it?" Ron asked with interest.

"This..." Xyla pulled Ron's hand and walked over to the coffee table. She then pointed at the purple clay teapot on the coffee table.

This teapot instantly attracted Ron's attention. "This... This looks like an antique. Moreover, it seems to be rather aged."

"Yes... I bought it for 50,000 dollars. I'll need your help to polish off the encrustation on the outside to find out which year it was made in," Xyla said. A smile appeared upon Ron's face. "Alright..."

After that, Xyla carefully retrieved a white, pear-shaped porcelain bottle from the drawer under the coffee table. She handed it over to Ron.

Xyla then told Ron about how Yaksha healed Daisy Cox.

"I went to Yaksha to ask for this kind of medicine... However, to be on the safe side, we should run some experiments on it first. Once we're certain it's 100% safe, my husband can take it," Xyla added.

After listening to everything Xyla said, Ron seemed thoroughly stunned and excited at the same time. "Didn't Yaksha already passed on? I can't believe he's still alive."

"Yes. I guess the reason why he put out news that he died was that he hoped nobody would bother him anymore," Xyla said.
