Xyla 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, virtual-novel.net had never really understood why the Batton family insisted on virtual-novel.net marriage with Stanley. She had always been curious about why virtual-novel.net master insisted virtual-novel.net got a marriage certificate with him. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net failed to figure out the main reason back then, and virtual-novel.net had slowly forgotten about it as time slipped by.
Now that virtual-novel.net pondered about it, everything seemed fishy indeed.
Xyla recalled the day virtual-novel.net master gave virtual-novel.net a blood test. He did make a very peculiar request immediately after virtual-novel.net obtained the blood test result. He said that virtual-novel.net had to marry Stanley if virtual-novel.net wanted to cure virtual-novel.net disease.
Lured by curiosity, Xyla quickly put on virtual-novel.net earphone and tapped the audio clip attached to the email.
“Be nice to Xyla. You know that virtual-novel.net blood is what you need the most. Your life is bound to Xyla…” It was Ron Batton’s voice.
“Speaking of which, she’s fortunate indeed. If it weren’t for virtual-novel.net blood, our family wouldn’t even have accepted virtual-novel.net in the first place.” Stanley was the one speaking this time.
“Oh, that’s for sure. Look at her. Do you think I’ll treat virtual-novel.net this well if it weren’t for virtual-novel.net blood? You could’ve found a woman who’s able to match our family’s standard,” Ron hissed.
“Of course. She’s utterly unattractive. Too bad virtual-novel.net has a rare blood type like mine. It can’t be helped. Ugh, it’s really annoying to face a woman I don’t even love every single day,” Stanley complained.
The harsh truth pierced through Xyla’s ears as though it was a sharp blade, smashing virtual-novel.net head as though it was a thousand-pound boulder.
The conversation ended.
Xyla felt like virtual-novel.net brain was going to explode at any second.
She could recognize their voices. There was no mistake!
She was a hundred percent certain that it was their voices.
Their conversation blew virtual-novel.net mind and ripped virtual-novel.net heart apart. The sad truth had just dragged virtual-novel.net down from heaven, sending virtual-novel.net to the bottomless hell.
Stanley had decided to marry virtual-novel.net and spoil virtual-novel.net like a princess simply because virtual-novel.net needed virtual-novel.net blood. He was kind, understanding, and clingy, not because virtual-novel.net loved her.
It was all driven by his need for virtual-novel.net blood. It was all because virtual-novel.net blood could save his life.
Xyla finally knew how Stanley felt about her. He was annoyed by her.
He pretended to be nice to virtual-novel.net because what flowed within virtual-novel.net was what virtual-novel.net needed the most right now.
At that moment, Xyla felt like virtual-novel.net heart was being slashed by a knife mercilessly, leaving a deep and bloody cut. The pain was beyond words.
The buzzing in virtual-novel.net brain disconcerted and confounded her.
She could not think straight.
Emily instantly noticed the grief in Xyla’s eyes when virtual-novel.net passed by her.
The corner of virtual-novel.net lips subconsciously curved upward into an evil smirk.
Poor Xyla, you must’ve listened to the recording, right?
As virtual-novel.net thought about that, the smile on virtual-novel.net face widened.
She knew Xyla very well. If Xyla found out that the Batton family was nice to virtual-novel.net simply because they needed virtual-novel.net blood, virtual-novel.net would definitely be in despair.
When the time came, virtual-novel.net would divorce Stanley. After the divorce, virtual-novel.net light would fade, and virtual-novel.net would fall from grace!
The more distressed Xyla was, the more excited Emily felt.
