The ferocious aura he emitted struck all his men in the backseat.
Stanley Batton did not say anything else. He pulled Xyla Quest onto his lap and caressed her lovingly as though she was a fragile gem.
“Master Lancelot has already taught her a lesson. He said that she’d be treated the way she wanted me to be treated,” Xyla said.
“Mhm.” Stanley responded apathetically.
“How did you and Master Lancelot meet?” Xyla asked.
“Dragon Group has dealings with his legal company,” Stanley answered truthfully. His slim fingers ran through her hair gently, as if he was patting a noble Persian cat.

About half an hour later, the helicopter arrived at their villa.
The helicopter gradually landed on the helipad.
Zack Cassidy was the first to get out of the helicopter. He then walked over to open the door for the two of them, courteously.
Carrying Xyla carefully in his arms, Stanley jumped out of the helicopter and headed straight to the living room.
The living room was warm and cozy.
Xyla’s heart was currently filled with mixed emotions.
When she woke up on the cruise just now, she was almost scared to death.
This was especially true when Ada gave her the injection. She thought her life was going to be ruined by them..
She did not expect that she would be able to return to their home unharmed.
Stanley carefully placed her on the sofa before cupping her face in his hands while whispering, “You must take bodyguards with you from tomorrow, onward.”
“Okay.” Xyla nodded obediently. She then crept toward Stanley and sat on his lap, hugging him as tight as she could. “Feels good to be safe.”
“Yeah.” Stanley returned her hug enthusiastically, his chin gently rubbing against the top of her hair. “You should be hungry by now. I’ve made dinner before I left the house. I’ll go warm it up for you, alright?”
