Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1104

“We still don’t have a clue for now…” Zack Cassidy said over the phone.

“In that case, have we found out who killed those people on the cruise ship on the day of Dragon Group’s seventieth anniversary?” Stanley Batton asked again.

“No…” Zack sounded a little dejectedly.

“Understood… Keep an eye on them and make sure they quickly get to the bottom of this,” Stanley added.

When Xyla Quest heard these things, she felt immensely disappointed on the inside…

Noticing the look of disappointment upon Xyla’s face, Stanley affectionately caressed her face. He directly hung up the phone.

He extended his arm and pulled her onto his lap. Just like how one treaded a noble and obedient Persian cat, he started gently stroking her head. “Don’t worry. We’ll discover the truth…”

Xyla nodded a little. “Hmm…”

“I heard that you discovered a real work of Pablo Picasso at the antique market. Is that true?” Stanley asked.

When this incident was mentioned, Xyla’s mood suddenly became much better.

“Who told you about it? Did the bodyguards do so?” Xyla asked.

“Hmm… One of them bragged about you to Zack. Zack took a screenshot of it and sent it to me. Here…” With that, Stanley showed Xyla the conversation history between him and Zack.

At the very top, there was an extensive account of Zack sharing work-related stuff. Despite all the things Zack shared, Stanley only replied ‘okay’ in the end.

Further below, there was a screenshot from Zack as well as a sentence. “Madam is very impressive.”

This time, Stanley wrote much more than he did previously. “She’s my wife. Naturally, she is impressive.”

Immediately after that, Xyla tapped on the screenshot. In the screenshot was a conversation between Zack and someone named Six—

“Mr. Cassidy, Mrs. Batton is absolutely amazing!” Six wrote.

After that, Six told Zack everything that happened at the antique market without missing a single detail.

After a long message, Six added something else. “I’m fortunate to be able to protect a madam like her.”
