Chapter 266
After dinner, Josh drove Xyla home. Throughout the journey, he remained silent with a deep frown on his face. Since it was very dark in the car, Xyla did not notice any changes in his facial expression. When they arrived at the entrance to the Quest family’s villa, the car came to a stable halt. During the meal, Xyla had drunk a bit of red wine. Although she did not think it was a lot at the time, she was beginning to feel the effects kicking in now. Josh drove her all the way to the front of her house. Once the car stopped in front of the main building, Xyla turned around to look at him. “Thank you for sending me home. Get back safely. Goodnight.” Closing the car door behind her, she started to walk towards her house. “Hold on…” said Josh, getting out of the car. The cold northern wind made both Xyla and Josh shiver a little. “Whenever and wherever you need help, you can come to me. Even if we can’t be lovers, I hope we can still be good friends,” said Josh sincerely with a

At such a close distance, Xyla’s heart was nearly beating out of control. “Untangle it, quickly,” she said. “Okay… I’ll untangle it,” replied Stanley.The closer they were, the better his voice sounded. It sounded like an expensive cello which played a beautiful melody. There was a noble quality to his deep-sounding voice. Listening to it, Xyla felt like she was becoming even more intoxicated. “Is it untangled yet?” she asked. “Hold on…”Stanley lowered his head while he carefully tried to untangle Xyla’s hair from his button. However, there seemed to be an unresolvable knot which could not be untangled swiftly. While their bodies were tightly pressed against each other, Xyla dared not move about, for fear that she might hurt herself from tugging her hair too hard. In between breaths, her hair softly rubbed against his face. It caused an itchy sensation. For some reason, Xyla felt something pressing against her from behind. Her body trembled and she subconsciously took a st

“I have a pair of scissors in my room. If this doesn’t work, let’s use it,” said Xyla.She could not stand being stuck so closely to Stanley. If this continued, she was afraid that her heart might stop beating.“Alright. Come with me, slowly,” said Stanley while he led her into the room.Xyla pointed at the nightstand. “The scissors are in the drawer of my nightstand.”Without saying a word, Stanley slowly led her to the bed and the two of them sat down together. Carefully, he reached out to the drawer to get the scissors. As soon as he moved, Xyla yelped in pain.“Wait a second. It hurts…” she said.Still staying silent, Stanley pressed her head naturally against his chest while he reached for the scissors. In this affectionate pose, a multitude of feelings were growing at a rapid rate. Xyla began to feel an itch in her heart. There was also a numbing sensation.Soon, Stanley was able to grab the scissors. He carefully cut off that strand of hair before putting the scissors dow

Stanley did not say anything. After chuckling softly, he walked away. Once the door closed behind him, Xyla’s world became calm again. However, her heart was still pounding. The image earlier kept appearing in her mind.Her face was getting redder by the second. Now, Xyla felt as if she would rather just die.***Meanwhile, at the Batton family’s villa, Josh saw Sharon on the couch when he returned home. He immediately walked over and sat down next to her.“Mom, why are you here?”“Did you see your brother?”“Yeah…”“Did he tell you everything he ought to?”Josh let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead in exhaustion.“He did. Don’t worry. I won’t set my eyes on my sister-in-law in the future.”Ever since he was a young boy, he found it difficult to fall in love with anyone. When he eventually did, the person turned out to be his sister-in-law. What kind of drama was this?Josh felt as if something was stuck in his chest and made it difficult for him to breathe. He kept Shar

Tom’s vulgarity thoroughly annoyed Xyla. With a slight frown, she took a step forward and stared at his face coldly.“Tom Sullivan, watch what you say,” she said.Xyla knew that Tom probably came to her in a huff because he wanted to get back at her for what she did to Mary.“What’s the matter? Didn’t you once beg me to f*ck you?” Tom asked sarcastically with a sly smile on his face.His words were like a needle to her heart. Xyla felt as if a hole had been pricked through somewhere in her body. Memories began to flood through her mind. Like a compressed balloon, all it took was a hole for these memories to blast through.Back when Xyla was ugly and fat, she once asked to be f*cked in order to keep him around. However, Tom had righteously told her that he wished to wait until the night of their wedding. Moreover, he claimed that he would never engage in sex before marriage.Like a fool, Xyla believed him. In fact, she was very touched that her Brother Sullivan was not like other

Smoke surrounded Tom’s solemn-looking face. He no longer seemed as kind and peace-loving as he normally did.Xyla could clearly sense that she was in danger. Although she struggled to free herself, her body was far too weak. A strong sense of anger filled her heart. She felt as if her chest was about to explode. Despite wanting to speak, she was unable to utter a single word.Apart from causing Xyla to faint, the drug also made her entire body weak, and even made her unable to speak for a short period of time.At a place like this, with only her and Tom around, anything could happen. Even if he wanted to kill her, he could do so with ease.Tom took a slow puff of his cigarette with an annoyed expression. “Why are you looking at me like that? Huh? Did I do something wrong?” he asked.Stubbing out the cigarette, he climbed onto Xyla. His body pressed tightly against hers while he pinched her chin forcefully with a single hand.Even when Xyla was angry, her face still looked very be

Tom felt clueless about what he should do. Recently, whenever his father saw him, he would only criticize him. His father would not agree with anything he did, which drove him mad. With so many things piled up in his mind, Tom urgently needed someone he could vent his frustrations on.Xyla, who personally forced his sister into prison and was the suspect for the crime against his family, became Tom’s perfect target. As he recalled all the bad things that happened to him recently, he began tearing Xyla’s clothes apart like a mad person.“Xyla Quest, even if I was wrong, you should not have treated me so cruelly. I have nothing left! Do you understand that? You have an evil heart. Have you ever thought how hard it was for me to continue loving you when you were as fat as a pig? The fact that I stayed with you for so long proves that I really tried my best. I didn’t have a choice. Whenever I saw your ugly face, I felt as if I was going mad. All you lost was a single kidney, but do you k

When Xyla saw Stanley’s face, she cried even more intensely. At that moment, she felt as if she was someone about to die from dehydration in the desert, while Stanley was the savior who brought water to her.Feeling extremely grateful from the bottom of her heart, she found it impossible to stop her tears from falling.“Close your eyes,” ordered Stanley, glaring at the people around him.Everyone immediately closed their eyes.When Tom saw the large group of people, he was momentarily stunned and stopped what he was doing. However, he quickly recovered and took a dagger out of his pocket, pointing it at Xyla’s neck.“Don’t come any closer, or I will slit her throat,” he said.Realizing that he was outnumbered, Tom had to find a way to escape. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.Xyla could feel the cold dagger against her neck. A chilling sensation began to spread across her skin. Although she was in a dangerous situation, she no longer felt afraid because Stanley was here.
