Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1791

Zack Cassidy awkwardly glanced at the two of them before directly backing out of the office with a glass of orange juice in his hand.

After taking a deep breath, Zack knocked on the door.

Stanley Batton didn't mind what happened earlier at all.

He calmly adjusted his black coat before looking at the door. "Come in..."

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest slowly sat down next to Stanley.

When other people were around, Xyla would be sure to salvage his reputation.

Zack awkwardly took a deep breath before approaching them with the glass of orange juice that Xyla wanted.

He put the glass of orange juice down. "Mr. Batton, here's the orange juice you wanted."

With that, he bowed respectfully to Stanley and Xyla. He then turned around and left right away.

Zack hadn't even closed the door, but Stanley had already pulled Xyla onto his lap. "Don't be angry... I'll carry it with me, okay? You're not allowed to divorce me." When Zack heard the word 'divorce', he stopped walking immediately, tempted to eavesdrop.

Although his mind was telling him to close the door, his hand wouldn't budge.

The door remained half-closed.

Zack could hear everything said in the office clearly.

"As long as you listen to me, I won't be angry. Otherwise, we'll really get a divorce," Xyla said seriously.

Stanley pinched his forehead helplessly. "Alright, alright... Whatever you say, as long as we don't get a divorce. Alright?"

"That's more like it... Listen to what I say from now on, okay?" Xyla asked.

"Alright... I'll listen to you," Stanley agreed.

Zack was thoroughly confused as he stood by the door.

Although he knew Stanley had an inferiority complex at home, he didn't realize it was this bad.

How could Stanley say he'd do whatever Xyla wanted as long as they didn't get a divorce?

Zack was shocked.

After taking another deep breath, he silently closed the door and walked away in a bewildered state.

The moment he turned around, he

couldn't resist sighing in his hearket

'What

s love? It was something

only made one worse off...'

Meanwhile, Xyla and Stanley had no idea that Zack had overheard their conversation.

She slowly pushed Stanley away.

She

Sinthen sat nearby and took a h the glass of orange

instantly quenching her

The orange aroma spread in her mouth. It made her feel refreshed.

"Honey, let's discuss something," Stanley said.

"Sure, go ahead," she replied.

"Don't threaten me with a divorce next time," Stanley warned.

"In that case, listen to what I say..." Xyla said after taking another big gulp of orange juice.

"Okay, I will," he agreed.

The next day, the sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky.

Good weather as such was extremely rare during winter.

Early in the morning, Xyla hopped onto a helicopter and traveled to the jade mine she owned in Blue Mountain City.

Upon arrival, the helicopter descended to the ground.

Rovel.

Xyla's bodyguards got out of the helicopter first. Xyla, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly saw something when the helicopter landed.
