Chapter 296 I Need a Favor

Losing his allowance was a small matter. If things got serious, he might even be grounded for days- scolded nonstop.

Even the faint images of Mrs. Zaylee and the others in the videos…

All these signs clashed violently with the vile image of Elizabeth that Kevin knew.

But how could gentle, kind, well–bred Xyla falsely accuse anyone for no reason?

Zachary had been drugged and victimized–Xyla knew more about the situation than Kevin did.

After a moment of hesitation, Kevin decided to ask Xyla Knight directly.

He picked up his backup device again, took a deep breath, and called the pinned contact.

The call connected quickly, and Xyla’s clear, pretty face appeared on the holographic screen.

She seemed cheerful. Seeing it was Kevin, her eyes lit up with just the right amount of surprise. Her sweet voice said, “Kevin, I was just about to contact you. I didn’t expect you to call first.”

Hearing that Xyla wanted to reach out lifted the gloom from earlier conflicts and family stress. Kevin couldn’t help smiling. “Xyla, did you need something?”

“Yes!” Xyla nodded, a mix of girlish shyness and worry on her face. “I need a favor. I don’t know if it’s convenient for you.”

“Just tell me. If I can help, I’ll do it!” Kevin puffed up his chest and promised, always happy to help Xyla.

Xyla seemed relieved, her voice carrying a hint of hope. “You know Elizabeth, right? The woman who drugged Zachary. Later, she got lucky and married into the Hewitts thanks to genetic matching. I heard she’s authorized by the Hewitts to sell some farm products. People say they taste amazing and even help with mental focus. My mom hasn’t been sleeping well and has been feeling low. I was wondering if you could get some for me? Money isn’t an issue.”

Kevin’s smile froze, like someone had hit pause.

He thought he misheard. His ears buzzed. After a long moment, he finally found his voice, full of disbelief and subtle unease. “Xyla, didn’t you say Elizabeth was vile, and that her stuff wasn’t good, and we should all stay away? Why do you suddenly want to buy from her?”
