Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2050

The caller was Zack Cassidy.

Stanley Batton immediately picked up the call.

A large meeting room filled with top executives on the top floor of Dragon Group's office building was completely silent on the other side of the call.

Zack stood by the empty main seat as he spoke softly to Stanley on the phone. "Mr. Batton, the top executives are all here. When will the meeting start?" Stanley frowned and glanced at his expensive watch. "Cancel today's meeting."

"But..." Zack's voice trailed off.

Didn't they need to discuss and decide on something important during the meeting today?

"My wife needs me," Stanley said before hanging up directly.

His voice thundered clearly over the phone in the silent meeting room.

The people closer to Zack were able to hear what Stanley said.

Suddenly, everyone in the meeting room erupted into discussions.

Recently, Stanley had missed countless meetings because of his wife's health.

People change.

In the past, Stanley always took his time at work seriously.

As they exchanged glances, they couldn't resist feeling respectful toward Xyla Quest.

These people had witnessed the couple's journey as a couple for the longest time. They genuinely felt that Xyla was not a simple woman.

Even a stern and serious man like Stanley could transform into a loving and gentle husband.

He had become someone completely different from who they used to know.

He absolutely adored his wife.

Everyone had done lots of

preparation for this meeting, but their efforts were wasted. Nobody dared to complain out loud even though there was a feeling of discontent inside.

It wasn't a secret that Xyla was Stanley's number one priority. Her emotional well-being was

Zack glanced at everyone guiltily before pocketing his phone.

meeting is canceled. Mr. R Thenet

needs to accompany his wife."

With that short announcement, he packed up his documents, picked up his laptop, and walked directly out of the room.

As soon as he was gone, everyone in the meeting room began discussing among themselves—

"Mr. Batton's devotion for his wife is getting out of hand."

"As a woman, I have to admit that Xyla sure is something."

"I don't even recognize Mr. Batton anymore. He used to be a cold-hearted, decisive workaholic. Where has that man gone?"

"Every hero has a weakness, and that's a beautiful woman. Even Mr. Batton can't escape that fate."

Outside, Zack could hear everything they were saying, and he found himself agreeing with them.

Stanley was letting his adoration toward his wife spiral out of control.

When she was physically ill, he'd drop his work.

When she was emotionally unwell, he'd also drop his work.

Generally, whenever something happened to Xyla, he'd drop everything to be by her side.

Even a man like himself was envious of her.

How could she be this lucky?
