When Xyla saw what happened to Tom, who was all over her just a moment ago, her anger immediately faded away.
This was an extremely bloody scene, which she wished to never see again. Subconsciously, she buried her face in Stanley’s chest and shook her head to let him know she was not hurt.
Stanley rubbed her chin against her head and asked in a soft voice, “What do you want me to do to him?”
Xyla tried to open her mouth. When she realized she could finally speak, she sighed in relief. “That’s enough. Send him to the hospital,” she said.
Regardless of what Tom did, they could not kill him. Otherwise, it would be a difficult situation to resolve. After responding to Stanley, Xyla hugged him tightly once more. Since she was still in shock, keeping Stanley close to her was the only way she could recover quickly.
“That’s not enough. Beat him up,” said Stanley, looking at the men dressed in black by the door. His facial expression had turned cold once more.
“Are you crazy?! Do you know who I am? Do you think my father will let you off the hook for doing this?!” Tom screamed.
“Don’t let me off the hook then,” Stanley snorted coldly as he carried Xyla out of the room.
Tom tried to use all his might to get up and to escape. However, the large group of men dressed in black charged into the room and surrounded him, then proceeded to beat him up.
Xyla felt goosebumps all over her scalp from looking at what unfolded before her eyes. “Stop it. Things will get out of hand,” she said.
She was afraid that Stanley might get into a lot of trouble for doing this. But he did not say anything and continued to walk out with her in his arms. When they arrived in the walkway, Xyla heard Tom’s pitiful cry to be forgiven. The sound pierced through her ears and made her heart shiver.
Carefully, Xyla looked up at Stanley’s perfect jawline and his cold eyes. “Stop this, will you?”
“I’m here for you, no matter what happens,” he said confidently.
