Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 822

Emily Quest instantly stopped walking and turned her head to listen to what they were saying carefully.

"You seem to be getting better... But you should still be careful..." Ron Batton said seriously before letting go of Stanley Batton's hand.

"Okay," Stanley said.

"However, based on the amount you need now, that person probably won't be able to satisfy you. In the end, you still need Xyla. I think you should talk to her about this..." Ron added. "We'll talk about it when the time comes," Stanley said.

"Sigh... I know you aren't willing to use her blood, but even so, you still have to in the end..." Ron said.

"Let's not talk about it now..." Stanley let out a long sigh.

"I'm really happy to see you two getting along so well now. My efforts to get you two to be together weren't a waste. You can only continue to live well with Xyla by your side..." Ron added. Stanley didn't say anything. Instead, he silently poured himself a cup of tea and finished drinking it.

Outside the door, Emily seemed shocked.

What did their conversation mean?

Why did it sound like there was an ulterior motive for Stanley to marry Xyla and that the Batton family was so nice to Xyla? Why did it sound like they were doing it for Xyla's blood? Most importantly, it sounded like Xyla had no idea about their motive.

From what they said, Stanley seemed to need Xyla's blood to continue living.

Could it be that Stanley was nice to Xyla not because of love but because he wanted to get her blood?

This must have been the case.

When Emily thought of this, she secretly began to feel happy...

Emily really wanted to find out how Xyla would feel once she realized her husband married her and was nice to her with an ulterior motive...

The more Emily thought about this, the more excited she became.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard.

Emily immediately came back to her senses and started walking back to her room.

Just as Xyla got upstairs, Emily disappeared around the corner.

The two sisters narrowly missed bumping into each other.

Xyla directly walked back to the room the men were in and back to her seat.

When Stanley saw her, he immediately stood up and returned to Xyla's side while hugging Xyla by her shoulder. "Were you bored downstairs? Why did you come back so soon?" He asked.

"Yeah. It's a little cold... I don't know what's wrong with the weather this year. It's very abnormal. Although it's almost summer, it still feels cold at night," Xyla said.

Stanley immediately held her hand.

Sensing the coldness of her hand, Stanley took his jacket off and wrapped it around Xyla's shoulders.

Xyla could feel his warmth through the jacket.

The warmth gradually spread throughout her body until it reached her heart.

Suddenly, she no longer felt cold...

"Alright. It's getting late. Let's leave... Go home and rest," Ron stood up and said.

Xyla and Stanley held each other's hand and stood up.

The next day, in X Entertainment.

In the CEO's bright and spacious office, Georgie Clementine was going through a large pile of documents at her desk with a serious look on her face.

She was wearing a set of sapphire-blue formal attire with a white shirt on the inside.

With intricate makeup, and her hair pulled back into a bun, Georgie seemed fresh yet experienced. She also looked bright and attractive. "Knock, knock, knock-"
