At that moment, Xyla Quest felt that Stanley Batton was like her hero.Every word he said would make her feel better.In fact, she even felt as if he were an umbrella that protected her from the wind and rain.Xyla had met many people over the years during her travels. However, none of the men she had met made her feel safe in such a way.When May Conner and Emily Quest heard the word ‘prison’, they immediately felt goosebumps all over their bodies.Since they had just come out from that hellish place, they knew all too well how much suffering they would have to go through there.Even if they did not have to suffer as much, it would not be a good idea to go back to prison.If things got worse, Jeremy Quest would only hate them even more.Right then, Emily and May were in a difficult position. It seemed as though whatever they did would turn out badly for them.Meanwhile, they were beginning to feel the burning gaze from everyone around them.The anger they felt immediately subsided and

The six men surrounded Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. Each of them looked mean.“Let’s do this together! Kill this b*stard!” A large bald man shouted as he stared at Stanley angrily.Reflexively, Xyla took off her coat and tossed it at Stanley before she pushed him behind her protectively with one arm.“Stand still and don’t move. I can handle these people,” she said.Xyla moved quickly while maintaining vigilance. Compared to her gentle mannerism earlier, she seemed so much cooler now.Stanley felt as if something had touched him gently somewhere deep in his heart.In his life, this was the first time a woman protected him during a time of crisis.Silently, he placed the coat over her body.“Stand still and don’t move. I’ll protect you,” he said.As soon as he spoke, a large man swung his metal bat at Stanley’s head.Remaining perfectly calm, Stanley kicked the man multiple times and sent him flying. It all happened within a single breath.In that instant, Xyla felt as if she was watc

Xyla Quest seemed very focused as she continued to examine Stanley Batton’s elbow professionally.Meanwhile, Stanley sat cooperatively, silently allowing her to examine him.The light shining against her face from the outside made her appear even gentler.Despite the large coat that hung over her shoulders, she did not look any less attractive.After repeatedly examining his elbow, Xyla looked up at Stanley.“I don’t think there’s any displacement or crack in your bones. However, just as a precautionary measure, we should get an X-ray for it at the hospital. Sometimes, it’s impossible to tell if there’s a crack in the bones from the outside,” Xyla said.“Okay,” Stanley said.“The cops will be here soon. We’ll go to the hospital after we explain to them what went on here,” Xyla said.“Alright,” Stanley answered.“Thank you for taking the hit for me,” Xyla said softly.When Xyla recalled how Stanley took the bat’s hit without hesitation, she felt a warm sensation spread in her heart.“Do

“Shocking! The children’s cookies made by the Sullivan Food Group contains expired ingredients.”Xyla Quest smiled before she quickly turned the doorknob and walked downstairs as she opened the news article.“Today, Megan Courtney, a factory worker in one of the Sullivan Food Group’s bread and biscuit factories, filed a report against the Sullivan family. She claimed that the Sullivan family used expired ingredients to produce its ‘Finger Biscuit’, ‘Fruit Dodo’, and ‘Vege Dodo’ biscuits to cut down on the cost of production. The worker also provided many pictures she secretly took of the original ingredients in the Sullivan Food Group’s storage warehouse. In the pictures, a lot of the flour already had molds on them. On top of that, the vegetables and fruits were also visibly rotten. According to a detailed report, all three products are managed by Tom Sullivan, the heir of the Sullivan Group. They are also produced in the same factory. Not only did the whistleblower, Megan Courtney, l

“I only managed to do a part of what you asked me to. The young madam got to some of them before I could,” Zack Cassidy said.“Oh?” Stanley Batton raised his brows a little before taking another puff of his cigarette.“About exposing May Conner for hitting Xyla Quest, the young madam did it before I could do as you instructed. Originally, Mr. Quest already had plans to get a divorce. Now that things had gone south, I am quite certain he would go ahead with the decision to get a divorce. Also, you asked me to get the police to punish Tom Sullivan for what happened. However, the young madam did it before I could,” Zack explained respectfully.Whenever Xyla was mentioned, Zack felt nothing but respect for that woman.Hearing this, Stanley smiled approvingly. He did not expect Xyla to avenge him secretly.“Apart from that, I have already informed the Sullivan family that we are going to withdraw all our investments from their business just as you instructed,” Zack added.“Alright…” Stanley
