Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 431

The crowd in the fast-food restaurant consisted mainly of loitering teenagers.

As soon as he set foot into the KFC, almost all eyes fell on him. This was especially true for the girls, who momentarily almost seemed like they had lost all interest in their boyfriends; even though their boyfriends were right in front of them.

However, Stanley paid them no notice as usual. Scanning the restaurant's layout, he managed to catch sight of Catherine Batton.

Catherine was seated by the window near a corner of the restaurant, enjoying her Plum Wine ice-cream.

While this was happening, several girls in the restaurant were already whispering among themselves. His good looks had garnered a lot of attention from them, and the girls were silently fangirling over him. When she saw Stanley, Catherine waved at him enthusiastically. The dimples at the corners of her lips looked exceptionally cute on her, especially when she smiled.

Catherine had always been proud to have such an admired and adored brother. She beamed with joy just thinking about it.

Without paying any heed to the whispering girls, he walked toward Catherine's table. Once seated, he turned his WeChat on to scan the QR code, ready to order some food. "You mentioned fried chicken and burgers earlier right? Which burger are you craving for?"

Her right hand held onto the ice-cream which she was still licking, while her other was placed under her chin as she thought. While she was considering which burger to get, she found herself peeking at the surrounding girls who were still busy staring at her brother.

Her pride for her brother kicked in and she grinned as she looked at his handsome face, a mischievous giggle following soon after. "Hehe... You have many fans stealing glances at you Fifth brother." "I see." His attention was focused on the menu and he showed no interest in the topic.

Her lovely grin didn't falter despite his clear disinterest. "They must be so envious of me, those girls. I wonder if they're mistaking me as your girlfriend. I wonder how many of them are secretly jealous of me... Hehe."

"So what do you want to eat?" Stanley asked again as he changed the subject.

"Hmm... I'll have an Orleans burger, a spicy chicken burger, a chicken wrap, and three fried chicken wings... Ah, and don't forget one large fries and a large Coke..."

Stanley raised a brow slightly. "Are you sure you can finish all that?”

"Shouldn't be a problem." Catherine reassured him. "You can have some as well if I can't finish them. Don't forget your own order, Fifth brother."

She waved her hand loftily before adding, "You're paying for all of this after all.”

Following that statement, she chuckled naughtily.

Stanley simply shook his head in response, already used to his mischievous sister. He found himself landing a gentle gaze on her. "Don't mind me, I like watching you eat more."

"Alright then. I won't be adding anything else so you can place the order now." Catherine grinned as she leaned against the sofa smugly.

With a few taps on the screen, Stanley double checked the order before sending it out.

True to its name, the fast-food was prepared quickly and the order arrived in no time. Catherine was pleased to see the feast before her. Hopping off her seat, she washed her hands quickly before she began digging in.

Despite being in such a crowded public area, Catherine lacked any qualms about how messily she ate.

Though Catherine considered the food before her to be a feast, Stanley felt otherwise. The food was unappealing to him at best, and he found himself gazing out the window and observing the heavy traffic on the street.

Slowly, Zack's final two proposals from earlier came inching back into his mind.

He didn't notice it, but wrinkles had started forming on his forehead again.

Catherine noticed the change in his expression and immediately put her burger down. She tilted her head slightly and examined his face with curiosity while she wiped her greasy hands with a tissue. "Something on your mind, Fifth brother?"

"Nothing you should worry about."

"Did you have a fight with my sister-in-law?"

"No..."

"What's the issue then?" She continued to pry, trying to replace the source of his worries.

Even when they were kids, he had always had everything under control. He showed little emotion and she hardly even remembers the last time he showed such a worried expressions.

Because of that, she was certain that he must have gotten himself into a difficult or complicated situation.

"It's adult stuff, kiddo." Stanley then motioned for her to finish her burger. "Finish up your lunch, it's nothing kids should be worrying about."

Catherine rolled her eyes. When he wasn't looking, she snuck a sneaky text message to Zack, asking if Stanley had gotten himself into any recent trouble.

She knew her brother very well. If he didn't want to tell her something, it would never be revealed no matter how much she tried to pry the details out of him.
