Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1781

The rocks were making Xyla Quest’s feet ache.

On top of that, the path was slippery due to the snow. Each step had to be taken carefully. That was why Xyla felt exhausted.

“But… I can still take it… I’m not that weak…” Xyla said.

As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Stanley Batton bent over and picked her up.

Stanley gently carried her through the wind and snow, step by step, as they headed up the hill.

This affectionate scene made the bodyguards around them jealous.

The single men instantly felt attacked.

The bodyguards behind Xyla and Stanley were very far away.

A few of them couldn’t resist discussing among themselves in hushed voices.

“Mr. Batton truly adores his wife…”

“Exactly. He treats her like the most fragile thing on earth.”

“I suspect that he would give up his life if his wife asked for it.”

“I only admire two people in this world. The first one is Mr. Batton. He had only taken over Dragon Group not too long ago, but he’s already brought it to greater heights with his extraordinary capabilities… The other person I admire is his wife… She’s truly unusual for being able to turn cold Mr. Batton into a loving husband…”

Their voices were soft. Stanley and Xyla, who were far away, couldn’t hear them at all.

Beep, beep, beep—

Right then, Xyla’s phone started ringing.

It was the leader of the Blue Sky Exploration Team, Darren Green…

He was the man in charge of mine exploration on Blue Mountain.

Xyla immediately answered the call. “Hi, Darren. What’s the matter?” she asked.
