Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest immediately stopped by a deserted corner and leaned against the wall while opening the email.

The email consisted of a short paragraph and an audio clip.

The paragraph stated, "Have you ever wondered why the Batton family would set you up with Stanley Batton? Aren't you curious why the Batton family is so nice to you? Click on the audio clip, and you'll know the answer..."

Xyla was too stunned to move.

In fact, she had never really understood why the Batton family insisted on her marriage with Stanley.

She had always been curious about why her master insisted she got a marriage certificate with Stanley.

Nonetheless, she failed to figure out the main reason back then, and she had slowly forgotten about it as time slipped by.

Now that she pondered about it, everything seemed fishy indeed...

Xyla recalled the day her master gave her a blood test. He did make a very peculiar request immediately after he obtained the blood test result. He said that she had to marry Stanley if she wanted to cure her disease.

Lured by curiosity, Xyla quickly put on her earphone and tapped the audio clip attached to the email.
