None of them had returned to the country.

What did that mean, unless Stanley Batton was lying?

He might have cheated on his wife.

'D*mn!' Sharon Lindt thought.

She promptly stood up and addressed the women who were cheerfully drinking coffee and chatting in front of her. "I have to leave as something urgent came up. You girls can continue."

With so much happening, she needed to look for Xyla Quest first to see how she was doing and if she was feeling depressed.

After that, she would yell at her disappointing son, ask him to get a divorce, and kick him out.

A jerk like him didn't deserve to be with Xyla.

He also didn't deserve the Batton family's inheritance.

Before her friends could say anything, Sharon stormed out of the cafe with her phone in hand, feeling inexplicably angry the more she thought about this.

She started her pink Maserati engine but didn't depart immediately. Instead, she called Xyla on the phone only to replace it had turned off.

Sharon felt panicked suddenly.

That wasn't a good sign at all, knowing that her daughter-in-law would never switch her phone off.

At this crucial moment, perhaps Xyla was devastated and crying somewhere because of the rumors.

Sharon felt troubled and called her son.

However, Stanley had no idea his mother was calling him because his phone was on silent mode. Sharon tried calling over a dozen times, but he didn't pick up.

As a result, Sharon became thoroughly enraged, her entire face turning dark.

She grabbed her phone tightly and started carsing Stanley. "This jerk! How dare he ignore my calls? Does he feel guilty? Perhaps he's realized his mistake? Even if he does it's too late.

"Oh my god, I'm such a devoted woman, so how could I give birth to such a jerk? Stanley is not the kind of person who would do this. Was there a mistake?" Sharon murmured to herself.

Soon, she called Zack Cassidy on the phone. "Zack, where is Stanley?"

Zack, who was shopping with Stanley and Sophie Kenwick in the mall, could tell that Sharon was not happy from her tone of voice. "What's the matter, Madam?"

"Get Stanley on the phone. Is he next to you?" she snapped.

"Yes, he is," Zack replied right before handing his phone over to Stanley in confusion.

"Mr. Batton, your mother is looking for you."

Stanley silently glanced at Zack before accepting the phone. "Mom? What's the matter?"

"You still dare to call me your mother? I would never have a son like you," Sharon yelled.

Stanley, caught off-guard and unable to speak, was not sure why his mother was acting so crazily.

"Why aren't you talking? What's the matter? Do you have nothing to say? I've got to hand it to you, Stanley... don'Dever refer to yourself as my son again," she added.

Stanley remained silent.

What was up with his mother today?

He didn't recall if he had done anything to annoy her.

Stanley frowned deeply. "What is this about? What have I done?"

"Do you really need me to tell you what you've done? Aren't you aware?" she asked.

"Sorry if I'm being straightforward, but I have no idea."

"I don't think that's the case. You just don't know how to explain it, do you?" Sharon asked.
