With a face like that, it would be difficult for her to live a decent life, not to mention revenge.

Ron Batton was Xyla Quest's life savior.

However, she broke the promise between them.

Her heart sank whenever she reminded herself of her irresponsibility and incapability. She found herself standing as rigid as a pole at the gate, her legs frozen to the ground. It took some time for her to recover from her dejection before she dragged her suitcase and strode into the courtyard.

The first thing that she saw as soon as she stepped into the villa was a traditional Chinese style courtyard decorated with different species of flowers and shrubs. It looked the same as it was before she left. Spring was definitely the most beautiful time of the year. The cherry blossoms in the courtyard were fully bloomed and the petals were dancing in the air as the cooling wind blew across the house, carrying a tinge of floral fragrance with it.

Stepping across the ground covered with fallen leaves, Xyla made her way to the entrance of the main building under the rustle of the leaves before pulling open the door.

When the maids saw her entering the house, all of them came forward to greet her. She returned their greetings one by one and headed to the living room.

In the living room, an old man was sitting on a sofa made of fine rosewood while enjoying his tea. Across the rosewood coffee table was a lit incense concocted by the old man himself, which helped to keep his mind refreshed.

Upon seeing Xyla, Ron Batton eagerly stood up and walked to her with a delighted expression. "Xyla, you're finally back."

As he spoke, his hands clasped firmly on Xyla's shoulders and his eyes studied her body from head to toe. "Come on, let Grandpa take a look at my good girl... Eh? Have you lost some weight?" "Your face looks pale too, like you've just had a surgery." Ron examined her face closely while mumbling to himself.
