Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1186

"I'll send you to one of my houses nearby right now. There's everything you need inside... You can use anything you want.

"From now on, you'll stay there...

"After that, I'll arrange for two bodyguards to protect you at all times for the next two days.

"If you need help with anything, you can call me at any time.

"During this period, you should focus on recovering. I'll get someone to take care of your resignation procedures and things like that.

"As for everything else, we'll talk about it after you've recovered from your injuries," Xyla Quest said gently and softly. At the same time, she focused on looking forward and operating the steering wheel. Adam Shaw nodded. "Alright... Thank you, Ms. Quest."

Xyla drove Adam to her peaceful, high-class neighborhood in the city center.

After getting the spare key from the property management staff, she handed it over to Adam.

Later, two of Xyla's bodyguards helped Adam up the stairs.

Meanwhile, Xyla quickly drove her car back to her house along with the other bodyguards...

By the time she arrived at home, it was already midnight.

Stanley Batton wasn't asleep. Right then, he was sitting on the couch with a serious look on his face as he held his laptop. He was having a meeting with high-level executives from a subsidiary company in Country L...

On the screen, all those people were either black or Caucasian with distinct facial features.

Stanley was wearing a pair of black Bluetooth earphones with a serious expression on his face. He gave orders in fluent English.

Stanley's English was very pure and fluent. If one didn't look at his face and only listened to him with eyes closed, one would surely think he was a native.

When Stanley saw Xyla walking through the door, his gaze instantly turned gentle.

Stanley told the people on his laptop screen to wait for a minute. After that, he directly put down his laptop and walked up to Xyla.

He extended his arm and naturally pulled Xyla into his embrace. "I heard that Adam was bullied by Cody today. Is that true?"

Xyla's eyes filled with shock. "Yeah. How did you find out?" she asked.

"His father called my father to apologize... He said he would teach Cody a tough lesson, and he hoped you wouldn't be mad. He even said that his son was a blind fool for not knowing that Adam was your friend," Stanley said.

However, Xyla still didn't feel any emotions after hearing what he said...

All of this was within her expectations.

Xyla merely shrugged coldly. "I'm not angry. After all, I've already avenged Adam."

"Okay... Come to think of it. His father is quite unlucky to have raised a son like him..." Stanley said.

"Yeah... He's a spoiled brat who only knows how to entertain himself," Xyla said.

"Yeah... He can't help it. Since he was a child, his mother had always protected him. Since his father adored his mother, and his mother protected him, he couldn't help it either," Stanley said. Xyla had long heard about Cody's father being very loving toward his wife.

In fact, he loved his wife so much that he'd let his son take after the maternal family's surname. Moreover, he was the one who brought this up.

Very few men in the world could do something like this.

"Yeah... After all, he's a man who loves his wife so much that he could let his son take after the maternal family's surname," Xyla said.

Stanley chuckled. "I've already told my parents. If we have children in the future, they could take after your surname, too..."

Xyla's eyes immediately filled with shock.

She had never thought about this question before.

Xyla didn't think Stanley had considered this already. He even thought of letting their children take after her surname. Suddenly, Xyla felt genuinely touched.
