Why did Xyla Quest say that he was Dr. Batton’s grandson?
Bailey Ronson immediately put on a surprised face and looked at Stanley Batton. “What? Are you not Dr. Batton’s grandson? Who are you then? Why do you share the same name as Dr. Batton’s grandson?”
Subsequently, she turned to face Xyla. “Xyla, didn’t you say that your husband is the grandson of Dr. Batton? Mr. Henry says that his grandson is very ugly, not at all a face like Stan’s.
“Mr. Henry, please take a look at Stan carefully again. Are you sure he’s not Dr. Batton’s grandson?” As Bailey spoke, she pointed at Stanley once more.
Nevertheless, Stanley’s eyes were as calm as usual, totally unaffected by her accusation. Without saying a word, he casually placed his hand at the base of the wine glass, sliding the glass back and forth.
The red wine in the glass swayed back and forth as the glass moved, its dazzling luster shining brightly under the light.
He looked very much like a king standing at the peak of the mountain, devising strategies to defeat his enemies. There was a strong aura surrounding him.
Xyla was as calm as Stanley. She was so disgusted at Bailey that there were no other emotions within her.
“I do know this young lady. She’s Dr. Batton’s granddaughter-in-law…” Henry pointed at Xyla.
Upon hearing that, Bailey pretended to be dumbfounded by the plot twist again. “Ahh… What? So, what you’re saying is that Xyla is Dr. Batton’s granddaughter-in-law, but the man standing beside her is not Dr. Batton’s grandson?”
Henry nodded in response. “You’re right…”
When Jeremy Quest heard Bailey’s question, he finally understood what this was all about.
Was Emily Quest’s previous speculation correct? That Xyla did not tell her family about her marriage because she found a husband who would embarrass her, so she was too afraid to tell the truth?
As for the Stanley Batton standing in front of him right now, was he just a stand-in for Xyla to protect her reputation?
Likewise, the onlookers surrounding them were getting more and more confused about the situation. Questions were swimming inside their hearts, and their eyes were all overflowed with shock.
