Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 562

“I heard it from a mutual friend of your grandfather-in-law and I. He said that your grandfather personally told him about you being regularly beaten up by your husband, and you two were going to get a divorce soon.

“As for Bailey Ronson, I’m not too sure how she found me or how she acquired that false information. She didn’t tell me when I asked her back then,” Henry said truthfully.

“…Which mutual friend?” Stanley Batton asked.

“It’s Mike…” Henry said carefully.

As soon as Stanley heard this, he seemed shocked. “What? Mike? Can you even trust what he says?”

Two years ago, Mike’s business failed. He began to suffer from a mental illness that caused him to say many inappropriate things whenever he lost control.

Could anyone believe in what someone like him said?

“When Mike told me these things, he seemed very calm and collected. He told me that your grandfather personally told him those things. That’s why I believed him,” Henry said awkwardly.

Now, he felt like a complete fool.

“Is that why you didn’t verify the information and simply told other people about it?” Xyla Quest felt speechless.

She knew who Mike was as well.

To her knowledge, Mike was incapable of saying anything truthful. Hence, everything he said was probably part of his imagination.

All these years, Mike had stayed with Xyla’s master to receive psychological treatment. However, his mental illness was very complicated, and it was often triggered. The only way to suppress it was through medication.

“Who could ask something like this directly?” Henry asked before standing up and looking at them with a genuinely apologetic expression. “I’m truly sorry for causing you so much trouble, all because of my foolishness. I’m truly, truly sorry. I hope you can forgive me,” he added.

“I shouldn’t have done something like this for money…” Henry said before sighing helplessly.

“It’s fine. You’ve already made everything clear to us,” Stanley said.

“I’ll personally apologize to your grandfather.” Henry lowered his head like an ashamed criminal.
