Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 494

When the door flung open, George Clementine bore an extremely worried face as her hands grasped Xyla Quest’s shoulder. “President Xyla, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’ll sleep over at your house tonight.” Xyla said with a deep, depressed sigh.

She did not want to go back to their house tonight.

Georgie realized that she must have gotten herself into a difficult or complicated situation from the expression on her face. Immediately, she caught up with Xyla and pulled her to the sofa, sitting down together with her. “What’s the matter? Did you have a fight with Five Batton?”

Upon hearing the name ‘Five Batton’, Xyla could not help but sneer bitterly. “Five Batton? Pfft… Just call him Stanley Batton from now on.”

The initial worry on Georgie’s face was replaced by shock. “What do you mean?”

“He’s Stanley Batton… My husband.”

Georgie was struck dumb by her words, her eyes out on stalks as she gaped at Xyla’s face. “What? He’s your mysterious husband that you never met? Stanley Batton? Why did he hide it from you if he’s that man himself?”

Another bitter smile was Xyla’s response. She leaned against the sofa and lamented, “How do I know? He must have his intention.”

Engulfed by exhaustion, she plopped herself down on the sofa.

“Judging by his reactions before and after the encounter, I think Master did not tell him that I was the one who he was going to meet tonight.” Xyla spoke with a flat, weary tone, her mind was still in a mess.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I was on my way here. I don’t think that Master was aware that the two of us had been seeing each other for quite a long time. He must have planned our meeting today without any knowledge about it. He wouldn’t have arranged us to meet in such a way if he knew what his grandson had done to me.” Xyla forced herself to gather her thoughts.

No matter how hard she thought about the matter, this seemed to be the only possibility.

“As for Stanley, he should have known I’m his wife since the first time we met but he acted like he did not know all the time. What’s his reason then? Why does he hide it from his family?”
