Revenge of the Hideous Lady 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

It was because Xyla knew that Stanley Batton had never messed up anything in his life. Everything he did was flawless. “Xyla, Stan, what are you two talking about? Are you guys discussing your performance?” Bailey Ronson said again.Xyla simply smiled before she turned to meet her eyes. “You’re right. We’re going to sing.”Disbelief and confusion were swimming in Jeremy Quest’s eyes. “Are you serious?”However, Xyla responded to him with a confident nod. “Yes, Daddy. I’ll tell the host that my husband and I are going to sing after Ava Carter’s ‘From Now On’.”Having no other choices, Jeremy nodded.Getting up from her seat, Xyla strode toward the stage and whispered her request to the beautiful host standing aside.The host nodded her head without hesitation.With that out of the way, Xyla grinned at the host before returning to Stanley’s side.Soon, Ava Carter’s performance ended in a big round of applause. The beautiful host walked to the center of the stage with a stunni

In the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton had Xyla Quest on his arm as they walked onto the stage.Then, the two of them sat side by side in front of the Chinese zither. After Xyla had done adjusting the microphone in front of her, the two of them began to sing and play the zither together, according to what they had discussed earlier.Stanley started the song. “Listen to the lonely disconsolate flute, in the endless night deep in the clouds.”Xyla continued, “Right and wrong are all in the past. They’re merely dreams when I wake up.”Stanley followed, “How can we measure the praises, blames, gains, and losses…”Together, they sang in unison. “Fiery blood is rustling from the cold blade.”Though this was the first time the two of them sang together, they made a perfect combination on the stage.Whether it was the Chinese zither, or the singing, they were all pretty outstanding.The audience was truly amazed by the chemistry between them.Those who were originally skeptical of

Xyla Quest smiled and nodded at the guests before shifting her gaze to Bailey Ronson and May Conner without turning a hair.When Xyla met their eyes, they still had not gotten over the failure of their plan, exposing their sour and sulky faces to her.Satisfaction set in as she managed to catch sight of their sullen expressions.“Xyla, Stan, you guys are incredible! Did the two of you practice this together before?” Jeremy Quest looked at Xyla and Stanley as he asked, his eyes filled with joy. Xyla shook her head in response. “Nope, this is our first time singing and playing Chinese zither together. To be honest, I didn’t expect us to work so well together.”Fondness for the couple was written all over Jeremy’s face. “Both of you are gifted, indeed.”Turning around delightedly, Jeremy looked at Bailey standing behind him and asked, “How was it? Do you still think that Xyla is lying to you?”Bailey laughed awkwardly. “Hey, I never think that Xyla is lying. I suggested Stan to si

“No.” Stanley Batton averted his gaze back to the red wine glass on his hand.He slowly swirled the wine glass a couple of times before taking a sip of the red wine from the glass.Walking up to the old man, Bailey Ronson greeted him with a bright smile on her face. “Welcome, Mr. Henry. Please come in with me. I’ll introduce the organizer of the charity dinner, Mr. Jeremy Quest, to you.”The old man nodded in agreement.Without wasting any time, Bailey led Mr. Henry to Jeremy Quest’s seat.She patted Jeremy’s shoulder lightly and said, “President Quest, let me introduce you to my friend whom I’ve mentioned earlier, Mr. Henry. Mr. Henry has been doing charity for many years.”Henry… Jeremy had read about him in the newspaper before. He was the owner of the largest wine estate in Country Y. Also, he was a very well-known philanthropist.Realizing the man’s impressive background, Jeremy stood up instantly and politely reached out for a handshake. “Hello, Mr. Henry. I’m Jeremy Quest

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

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. H

“You have no right to educate my daughter. I’m not dead yet.” Jeremy Quest rebuked coldly.Another awkward laugh burst out of Bailey Ronson. Jeremy’s clear enmity had put her on the spot in front of the crowd.“Well… Aunt Bailey… Are you done with your story?” Xyla put down the teacup slowly and glowered at Bailey.Though Xyla seemed gentle and soft, her aura was way beyond compelling.Silence filled the hall all of a sudden. Everyone held their breath, staring at Xyla.“What? Xyla, do you want to explain to your father the reason you lied to him now? Fine. I’ll keep quiet. Go on,” Bailey prompted.She wondered how Xyla had managed to stay calm at a critical moment like this.“Indeed, I lied to my father…” Xyla looked at Bailey.Bailey’s spirits soared when she heard Xyla’s confession. Immediately, she glanced at Jeremy and the rest in the hall proudly. “Look… Our Xyla is brave enough to admit it.”Then, Xyla turned to the stunning man beside her and whispered in his ear, “Can
