Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 549

"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 I reveal your identity?"

Stanley Batton nodded in response. "Up to you."

Beaming a bright smile at him, Xyla returned her gaze to Bailey again.

The surrounding people rolled their eyes in disdain as they looked at Xyla's bold and confident attitude after lying to her father.

"Her goddess image has completely collapsed in my heart."

"Same here. She's fake and pretentious."

"President Quest must be so disappointed with her right now. After tonight, Xyla will have to leave her position as the heir of Quest Property Group."

Upon hearing these malicious comments, Emily Quest, May Conner, and Bailey were delighted to a fault.

In particular, Emily could hardly hold her laughter as she heard the sentence regarding the great crisis of Xyla's position as an heir.

If Xyla were to be kicked out of the company, everything would fall into her hand.

Reminding herself that she was now a major depressive patient, Emily pinched her inner thighs as hard as she could to avoid herself from laughing aloud.

No matter how happy she felt, she had to conceal her feelings and put on a depressed face all the time.

On the other hand, Jeremy Quest did not expect that Xyla would admit her mistake in front of so many people.

His eyes were filled with shock.

"I think it's impossible to hide my husband's identity anymore." The smile on Xyla's face only widened with each word she spoke. "I never think of being high-profile, but... I'm afraid that all of you will be misled by some made-up stories if I don't tell the truth."

Following that statement, she fixed her eyes upon Bailey's face and continued, "Yes. I did lie to my father. Let me introduce you to my husband. He's the young master of Dragon Group, Stanley Batton. He's Dr. Batton's actual grandson."

Bailey could not help but laugh, hearing her absurd explanation.

Henry, who was standing at the side, followed suit and laughed. "My dear, stop joking around. Dr. Batton is just a doctor. He's from an ordinary family. None of his children run a business." "Hahaha, I think Xyla Quest has lost her mind. How dare she use the young master of Dragon Group to shield herself? She craves death, doesn't she?"

"The young master of Dragon Group must be really mad if he replaces out what's going on today. Although I admit that her husband is really handsome, isn't it too much to claim that he's the young master of Dragon Group?"

"Crazy. Xyla Quest's crazy. She disgusts me. Is she a paranoiac?"
