Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2201

Stanley Batton hadn't turned off his microphone, so participants on the conference call could see and hear him clearly. Hence, they were all charmed by the man as they began exchanging knowing looks and smiles on camera.

Beside him, Xyla Quest shook her head. "It's fine, you can continue. I'll keep you company."

"Okay," he uttered before shifting his attention back to the conference call.

Suddenly, his facial expression turned cold again, a complete one-eighty from when he looked at Xyla earlier.

Everyone was already used to how he possessed double standards when it came to his wife, so they all merely looked at each other and smiled as the meeting continued.

However, the top executives were all privately envious of his wife, wishing he would speak to them as he spoke to her.

If that happened, they wouldn't have to feel so nervous when they saw him.

Even if it was only a conference call, they had to be attentive and not make a single mistake in their presentations.

Approximately half an hour later, Stanley called for the meeting to end.

Once everything was over, he checked in on her again. "Do you want supper? I'll order something or go out to buy something for you. Perhaps even cook for you?"

She was already feeling sleepy by then, so she shook her head. "Thanks, but I don't want to eat. I want to sleep."

"Okay, let's sleep together," he said, shooting her an ambiguous smile.

Xyla knew exactly what his smile meant, feeling her cheeks reddening instantly.

Soon, he turned the lights off, plunging them into darkness.

They then began having the time of their lives in the dark.

Opening her eyes, she reached out to touch the spot beside her, but it felt cold to the touch, and she knew

While she checked for relevant gossip, she also looked out for any negative media related to her company's artistes.

Right then, everything seemed quiet on the list of hot topics.

The only thing that caught her attention was her interview with HC Magazine, spurring her to click on it immediately.

The first thing that came into sight was a video of her interview.

HC Magazine listed all the questions she had answered throughout the interview.

By then, there were already a large number of forwards, likes, and comments under the video-

"Xyla is the luckiest woman alive. She's glowing. Indeed, being in love made one look better." "Hahaha, Stanley is way too good! I can sense how well he treats Xyla. The look in her eyes says it all."
