Excitement surged within Tom Sullivan as he heard the crowd’s malicious comments.
If Xyla Quest’s husband were really an ugly duckling who would bring shame to her, there would be great leaps in his hope to get Xyla back to his side.
Instead of introducing her real husband to the public, Xyla had found a handsome guy to keep up appearances and act as a lovely couple with her. What did that mean?
It meant that her actual husband was nothing to her.
Xyla glared at Bailey Ronson coldly. “No. I said no.”
All eyes in the entire hall were upon Xyla.
The music had been turned off, though the culprit was unknown.
Now, the whole world was able to listen to their conversation.
Bailey laughed as soon as she heard Xyla’s answer. “No? If that’s not the case, how are you going to explain the whole incident? Are you trying to say that Mr. Henry is lying?”
Staring deep at Stanley Batton’s face once more, Henry shook his head confidently. “Seriously, I’m not lying… I’ve seen that kid before. He doesn't look like that.
“Furthermore, that kid is not as gentlemanly as this guy over here. He’s a domestic abuser. He’s on the outs with his wife too,” added Henry.
Henry’s revelation caused an uproar in the hall instantaneously.
Once again, Jeremy Quest’s face darkened. Rage pulsed through his veins and anger overpowered him.
That kid was hideous, fine. Yet he frequently abused her daughter? Bastard… Who did he think he was?
“Oh dear… Xyla’s life is too miserable! Let’s not talk about how ugly her husband is. The main point is that he’s constantly abusing her!”
