Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2076

Stanley Batton wore a white shirt with a black suit under a long, black woolen coat. His appearance was like a dominant CEO described in novels. There was a cold, noble aura that surrounded him.

After getting out of the car, he subconsciously looked up in Xyla Quest's direction, his lips instantly curving into a smile when he saw her.

At that moment, the coldness around him dissipated.

Stanley hastened his footsteps into the house with a bag of roasted chestnuts, heading directly into the bedroom where his wife greeted him with a hug as soon as he entered. "How did it go? Did you replace out who did it?" she asked eagerly as she inhaled the agarwood cologne on Stanley's body. His unique scent made her feel very warm and safe. His arms wrapped around Xyla, returning her hug. "Yeah, you were right. Sebastian's parents made Rachel leave."

Xyla didn't reveal any emotions when she heard this.

She pulled away from Stanley to gaze up at him. "What?"

Frowning, he handed the bag of roasted chestnuts to Xyla.

The fragrant scent wafted through the air, but she didn't have any appetite at all.

She held onto the bag and waited for Stanley to finish his story.

Meanwhile, he picked her up into his arms and placed her on their bed. He made every move carefully as if he was touching a fragile piece of antique.

Then, he sat next to her, holding onto the bag of roasted chestnuts and feeding her while he spoke. "Eat this first. Mom said that you didn't eat much during dinner." Xyla didn't think Sharon would tell him something as unimportant as that.

She obligingly popped one roasted chestnut with an eager look on her face. "Quick, tell me what happened. Otherwise, I refuse to eat."

Frowning, Stanley began to speak.

"My men hacked into the Brenand family's surveillance system and found out that Rachel went to their house the day before yesterday. She came out crying later.

"Sebastian returned home to ask his parents about it, and they admitted to what they did. They told him that Rachel was under their control, so unless he listened to them, he would never get to see her again.

Xyla was stunned, thinking it was extreme that parents like his would exist in the world.

"What about Sebastian?"

"He caused a scene at home and forced his parents to tell him where Rachel went, but he couldn't get an answer," he explained further.

"My men hacked into his parents' phones, but they couldn't replace anything either. We'll have to leave this to the police."

"Oh god, why is this happening?"

Xyla lamented with a deep frown. "Did they capture Rachel and pretend to write that letter on her

behalf or did she leave after writing it? Was that when they captured her?"

All of this was making her feel very curious.
