Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

With his wife, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton behaved in a charming manner.

However, in front of his staff, he could be incredibly aloof.

Despite his distant stance, he was still strikingly handsome.

Upon walking out of the conference room, Stanley leaned lazily against the wall and waited for Xyla to speak with a solemn expression on his face.

Xyla described everything she saw down at the mines in detail over the phone.

She also mentioned that she would send him pictures, even though he could already imagine the scenes in his mind as she described them in great detail. However, the more he listened, the colder his facial expression became.

In the end, he looked like he was about to throw a tantrum.

Stanley remained silent while Xyla talked non-stop.

After she finished, she realized he was not replying to her.

"Darling? Are you listening?" Xyla asked in confusion.

Xyla was currently leaning against a pine tree halfway up the mountain with nobody else around so she could speak freely.

Stanley furrowed his brows. "Hmm..."
