Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 561

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton both looked stunned when they heard this.

Neither of them thought that Henry would actually be their grandfather’s friend.

In fact, they thought Bailey Ronson bribed him to pretend to be his grandfather’s friend and to deceive others.

Stanley had never been introduced to Henry as his grandfather’s friend.

Immediately, Henry wiped the sweat off his face and looked away from the camera. “I’m… Sigh, it’s hard to explain. I mean, didn't you tell me that your grandson was ugly, Ron? You even showed me a picture and told me that was your grandson… Also, why didn’t you tell me that your family owns Dragon Group?”

“I was just trying to keep a low profile. I didn’t want to talk about it, but first, tell me, how did you end up with my grandson? Also, how did you find out about my identity?” Ron Batton had a confused look on his face.

“Answer my question first. Do you have any idea that my life is at risk because of you?” Henry added.

Ron seemed even more confused now. “What do you mean? How is your life at risk because of me?” Ron asked.

“Because of the picture you showed me and the wrong information you gave me, I have made a huge mistake.” Henry wiped the sweat off his face again.

“Why do I feel even more lost now?” Ron asked dumbfounded.

“That’s not the point. Now tell me, why did you lie to me that your grandson, Stanley, was extremely ugly?”

“It was to protect my grandson. I’ve been hiding my identity for the very same reason. Sometimes, it’s better to be cautious because showing off one’s wealth may end up attracting unwanted attention and ill intentions,” Ron explained.

“So that is why…” Henry frowned slightly before wiping his sweat away again.

“Can you answer me now?” Ron wanted to get to the bottom of this.

Stanley switched the camera back to face him and looked at it. “Grandpa, I’ll explain these things to you later.”
