Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 542

Coincidentally, Bailey Ronson walked past the few of them with a glass of wine in her hand in the middle of their conversation. When she heard Jeremy Quest’s words, she approached May Conner from behind without hesitation. She held onto the wine glass, which she was still drinking from, while her other was placed on May’s shoulder as she smiled at Jeremy. “What’s going on? Is Stan going to sing on the stage later? Can Stan sing?”

May immediately picked up the conversation and turned to Bailey. “Of course. Xyla has said that our Stan can sing really well.”

However, Bailey shook her head in disdain. “I don’t believe it…”

May insisted, “Don’t you believe Xyla too? Xyla has said that our Stan sings much better than professional singers.”

Bailey japed, “Well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Stan is her husband, no doubt she’ll think that he’s a good singer. Professional singers are trained for years. Ordinary people are no match for professional singers anyway.”

“How would you know?”

“What’s the point of arguing here? We’ll find out if Stan comes on stage and sings for us later.”

“Unfortunately, it’s not a great idea to interrupt today’s performances. I’ll make sure Stan sings for you next time.”

“No no no… It’s such a good opportunity today. Why don’t we just make it today? Doesn’t Stan want to contribute to the charity works? Or does Stan not have the guts to perform on the stage as he’s afraid of embarrassing himself because he can’t sing?”

Following that statement, Bailey’s gaze slowly landed on Stanley Batton’s face.

She was curious how much better he, an amateur, would sing than a professional singer.

If he made a fool out of himself on the stage today, it would be a great humiliation to Xyla Quest as well…

In addition to her secret that was yet to be exposed, she would definitely suffer a fall from grace today.

Though Stanley had already seen through May’s and Bailey’s intentions, he remained silent as he watched the two echo each other. All he did was gently swirling his red wine from time to time.

The same went for Xyla.

On the other hand, Jeremy was extremely irritated by Bailey’s provocation. He frowned and hissed in response, “That’s enough. Go back to your seat and enjoy the performance.”

Bailey’s annoying grin did not falter despite his apparent disinterest. “Look at you, President Quest. Why are you getting mad now? I’m just curious about Stan’s voice, am I not?”

Xyla tilted her body toward Stanley and whispered, “Just ignore the two of them if you don’t want to sing at all.”
