Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 498

The truth came like a thunderbolt, leaving Xyla Quest tongue-tied.

Suddenly, many things that had never crossed her mind were happening right in front of her.

She was unsure how to register the situation in her mind.

The man who was standing in front of her right now... was actually her husband? He was even the master of Dragon Group?

No wonder she could not replace out who her husband was at that time. She tried to look him up but it was a failed attempt.

"I swear I won't lie to you about anything from now on. I swear." He continued to justify himself with a sincere face, the three fingers of his right hand rose in the air, forming a scout's honor sign.

As Xyla stared deep at his genuine and solemn face, her heart melted away once more. "Really?"

"Yes, I promise," He said confidently.

Xyla did not say another word. Her hands proceeded to flip through his family's household register booklet.

On the last page of the booklet, a familiar name hit her in the eye again...

Sharon Lindt...!

Aunt Sharon was his mother?! She was her mother-in-law?

No wonder Aunt Sharon had been so kind to her all the time.

Finally, the puzzle had been solved. The truth was as clear as day.

Her eye-catching name on the booklet somewhat reminded Xyla of the incident where Aunt Sharon brought a group of people to buy the properties of Imperial Prime. Her intention was not as simple as buying or investing the buildings.

Conversely, she wanted to help her to achieve her sales target!

"Aunt Sharon... She's your mother?" Xyla gaped at Stanley.

"Yes."

"Then... She visited Imperial Prime that time because she knew that I was her daughter-in-law? Was that the reason she..."

"Otherwise what do you think?"

"I always thought it was my marketing skills that helped me to attract so many big names in the society. I thought my marketing strategies were brilliant."

Upon hearing that, the man's eyes were instantly filled with his love for this silly girl. "Well... Your marketing was indeed very well done."

"But, Aunt Sharon made a significant contribution to the sales of Imperial Prime. That was undeniable."

"Aunt Sharon?"

"Yeah, your mom."

"My mom?"

"Well yes, your mom."

"Isn't my mom your mom too?" Stanley raised his brows in a teasing manner, his eyes bore into her face.

"I... I was still trying to digest everything okay." Xyla rubbed the back of her head awkwardly

She was given too much information out of the blue. It was true that she still could not grasp the situation before her.

"From the way you're talking to me, I guess you've forgiven me?" He asked with anticipation.

"Well, I can't deny your sincerity. You explained everything so clearly to me and you even showed me your household register booklet. Won't I be too egotistical if I don't forgive you?" blurted Xyla.

Delighted with her answer, the corner of the man's lips instantly curved up into a beautiful smile and his restless heart had regained its peace, too.

"Thanks for everything, Xyla." Shortly after, Stanley pulled out his phone and called Zack Cassidy. "Transfer the two buildings of Pacific International purchased under my name to Xyla's name. Oh yeah, don't forget my yacht as well, the Blue Whale."

With that out of the way, he hung up the phone.

The man had dropped a bombshell on Xyla with that statement. Xyla was dumbstruck for the fourth time today. "What... What are you doing?"

Was he trying to be like those rich guys on television? Giving presents to their wives to compensate for the mistakes they made?

Moreover, they were not just ordinary presents. They were two buildings of Pacific International and a yacht!!!

Pacific international was the high-end district in Atlantis. The average price of the houses in that area was around thirty thousand dollars per square meter.

Two buildings... How much were they worth?

She could not even calculate their actual values at the moment. There were too many zeroes swimming in her head.

As for the yacht...

Even without knowing how it actually looked like, she could already guess that Stanley's yacht must be one of those high-end models based on his status. A yacht like that was worth at least fifteen million dollars!

"They're my gifts for you, for forgiving me," declared Stanley.

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm not."

"I don't want any gifts from you..." She could never have them.

"I don't care. You have to take them."

"Stanley Batton!"

"Be a good girl, alright? I'm your husband. What's mine is yours." As he spoke, he ran his fingers through her hair gently. "There's no need for us to stand on ceremony."

Xyla's heart skipped a beat when she heard the phrase 'husband' from his mouth, her cheeks were kissed pink like a spring rose.
