Thank god I discovered her misdeed before it's too late." Jeremy's eyes were filled with curiosity. "Oh? How did you find out about it?" Xyla gave him a curt nod.

She would never allow such tragedies to occur in her lifetime.
Jeremy nodded repeatedly. "You're right, Xyla. I won't be soft-hearted this time." Stanley Batton, who had been keeping his mouth shut all the time, fixed his gaze upon Jeremy and said, "Xyla and I will take care of you in the future. You'll live a good life without them."
