Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 452

"According to the news source, the girl Stanley Batton dated is named Catherine Batton. Despite sharing the same last name, they are not siblings.

"Catherine is the only child in her family and is currently studying abroad. The editor guesses that Xyla Quest only said Catherine is Stanley's sister because Xyla is trying to protect her reputation." Long lines of text came into sight right away.

Below the text was information related to Catherine Batton.

Xyla's frown deepened as she calmly looked at Stanely's face.

She didn't believe a single word written in the news article.

In fact, she felt even more certain that somebody was trying to stir things up behind the scene.

"Someone said she isn't your biological sister," Xyla said.

"Do you believe that?" Stanley asked calmly as he looked at her.

Xyla shook her head. "Of course not. You have no reason to lie to me," she said.

Stanley smiled faintly. "Somebody must have done a background check on her."

"You don't have to explain. I understand everything. Your profession is unique. You must have a lot of enemies. Hence, to protect your sister, you needed to create a fake identity for her," Xyla said. People who worked in this field definitely needed to protect their families.

Stanley looked deeply at Xyla before gently ruffling her hair.

Xyla immediately felt something like an intense electric current shooting through her body from the top of her head. Her body began to feel hot all over.

It felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

Sensing the slight change in Xyla's facial expression, Stanley's smile widened. "Don't worry. I'll sort everything out."

Xyla believed everything he said because he always fulfilled his promises.

"I think it was a little inconsiderate of me to make everything public previously. To protect her, you have created a fake identity for her so that she wouldn't be tied to you in the public eye. Isn't that so?" Xyla asked carefully.

"Don't worry about it. Not many people have seen how I really looked like. I only did that out of precaution," Stanley explained before ruffling her hair gently once more. He then turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Xyla smiled as she watched him leave. After a long while, it was apparent that she was blushing. Only after he disappeared did she sit down on the couch with a pleased smile on her face.

Her heart continued to throb while a sense of guilt returned.

Xyla looked very much like a little girl.

As soon as Georgie Clementine came downstairs, she saw Xyla blushing.

Hearing the sounds from the kitchen, Georgie could guess why that was the case.

Georgie sighed in frustration and quickly stepped forward. Although she didn't want to say anything at first, she couldn't help herself. "Look at yourself. Have you lost your self-control? President Xyla, have you thought about what's hidden underneath that shiny exterior of his? Do you have any idea how many people he killed in his field of work? Perhaps he has already committed half of all possible crimes," Georgie said while trying to keep her voice down.

"I've thought about all of this. At first, I tried to hold myself back because of this and the marriage certificate. I thought I could remain calm and composed around him. But Georgie, I'm beginning to realize that some things can't be controlled," Xyla said and lowered her gaze.

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to tell Master the truth," she added.

Georgie didn't say anything else. Instead, she let out a long, frustrated sigh again.

When Georgie thought about what Xyla would face in the future, she couldn't stay as calm as Xyla.

What was this feeling like?

It was like knowing someone was playing with fire and yet being unable to stop them.

Georgie could only watch as Xyla charged ahead.

She didn't want to interfere too much. Since Xyla had already made up her mind, Georgie couldn't stop her.
