Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 20

Zack Cassidy nodded respectfully. “Fifth Master, what would you like me to do?”

“Make the third most popular topic on the internet stay in the number one spot for a week.” Stanley Batton proceeded to walk upstairs after that.

Zack seemed utterly confused as he scratched his head. When did their fifth master start caring about the most popular topics on the internet?

Didn’t he always ignore such things?

Moreover, who was unfortunate enough to get on his nerves?

Zack immediately searched for the piece of news. When he saw that it belonged to Emily Quest, he immediately understood what was going on.

This woman must have done something to Xyla Quest yet again.

As a realization hit him, Zack ran after Stanley. “Oh, right. Fifth Master… Your mother has returned.”

Before Zack could finish speaking, a noble-looking middle-aged woman with long curly hair walked down the stairs. She was dressed in a white silk cheongsam and a shawl made from the same color’s fox fur.

Stanley seemed surprised. “Mother… Why are you home?”

“Have you seen the latest news on the entertainment bulletin?” Sharon Lindt frowned unhappily.

“I never care about such things.”

“Do you know that your wife is being bullied?” Sharon asked domineeringly.

“I do.”

“Then, why didn’t you get rid of those b*tches? Are you keeping them around for the new year celebrations? She is still your wife no matter what,” Sharon added.

“Is that why you left Dad behind and came back from overseas? So that you can tell me that?” Stanley seemed somewhat confused.

“Do you think I came back because I missed you instead?” Sharon rolled her eyes at him.

Stanley sighed helplessly. “It’s my own business. I know what to do.”

“D*rn right you should. Despite having a beautiful wife, you don’t even look at her. If I made the right guess, you probably haven’t even met the girl in person yet, have you?” Sharon could not help but look down at Stanley.

“Do you know what I’ve been thinking about recently?” Sharon asked again.

“What is it?” Stanley raised his brows at her.

“I wonder if the issue lies with your sexual orientation. Are you in love with Zack Cassidy? Is that why you don’t even care about your wife? It’s highly suspicious that you two are never apart from each other.”

Stanley was at a loss for words. He could not help but smirk coldly.

Meanwhile, Zack’s face had turned green.

Zack felt extremely confused.

“Before you received your marriage certificate, I showed you her picture. However, you tossed it into the trashcan without even looking at it. Later, you even threatened to file for divorce if I showed you stuff like that again.

“After that, I told you that your wife has become very beautiful after being cured by your grandfather… You still chose to ignore me and even blocked me on WeChat.

“More importantly, forget the fact that you won’t reach out to your wife. You wouldn’t even let me, or your dad, reach out to her.

“In summary, it might be true that you really don’t like women. Is that true?” Sharon asked solemnly before she glanced at Zack.

“If I were gay, what would you do?” Stanley asked playfully.

“Of course, I would wish you all the best and hope that you let go of that girl. It’s miserable to be a gay man’s wife. Although our family needs her greatly, I would like you to let her go.

“If you aren’t gay, I hope you can try to get closer to her. I really do like her. I would never get sick of that face of hers,” Sharon added.

“I never expected you to be this open-minded,” Stanley teased.

“Well, what kind of person are you?” Sharon still seemed unsettled.

“You’ve guessed it wrongly this time,” Stanley answered.

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve already met her, but she doesn’t know who I am.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“There’s nothing to it… Just stay out of this. And don’t say more than you should.” Stanley continued upstairs as he spoke.
