Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 148

“Xyla, you b*tch! I won’t be defeated by you this easily. Just you wait!” Emily murmured coldly to herself. The bright crystal lights above her made her eyes glare with hatred.

At the moment, Emily could not help but think about how Xyla and her husband had stolen the limelight during her wedding today.

Emily’s heart ached at the thought.

For as much as Emily suffered today, it was in equal proportion to which Xyla enjoyed herself. In fact, Xyla was probably the highlight of the wedding.

Up until now, Emily still did not understand why Xyla would choose to hide her husband if he was this handsome and was so good in the medical field.

If things were exactly as Xyla mentioned, was Xyla only afraid that their father would be upset at her for making the decision to get married on her own? Was that why she intended to slowly reveal the truth to their father?

Or was there something else Xyla was hiding?

Emily felt that something was amiss.

Was the handsome medical professional really Stanley Batton?

Could it be that this man was not Stanley Batton? Was he a substitute Xyla had found for the occasion?

Previously, Emily had not been able to find out a lot of information about Stanley Batton. In fact, she was not even able to get her hands on a picture of him. If Xyla merely asked someone to pretend to be Stanley, Emily naturally would not know the truth.

Although Emily felt that this was all ridiculous to think about, her instincts were telling her that it was not entirely impossible.

She still needed to investigate further to find out if this was the true Stanley Batton.

Knock, knock, knock—

Right then, someone knocked on the door.

Emily immediately set her thoughts aside and quickly opened the door.

Outside, one of the family’s maids and two police officers stood in wait.

Since Emily had suffered a lot in prison, she would tremble at the sight of police officers, just as she did now.
