Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Though Xyla Quest knew that Stanley Batton was a liar who could not be trusted at all, her heart softened right away as she looked at him. The exhaustion on his face was real, and so were the red veins in his eyes.

For a moment, she hesitated to chase him out of the room. That would be too mean to him.

"First of all, I apologize for lying to you. Letintroduce myself first. I'm Stanley Batton, and the Dragon Group belongs to my family." "I'm the fifth born in my family. Besides, I'm the President, as well as the heir, of the domestic Dragon Group." He recounted, the seriousness in his tone retained with each word he spoke.

Upon hearing that, Xyla was completely shocked...

He was the young master of the Dragon Group? The young master with God-like existence in the eyes of the citizens? The husband who she agreed to marry that twas such a remarkably successful person in real life? As for her master, he was related to Dragon Group too? Ron Batton? No wonder her master had never told anyone about his real name! Throughout the years, everyone around him would address him as either Dr. Batton or Doctor.

The truth was, he wanted to keep a low profile because his real identity would attract unnecessary attention or even sunsolicited comments from the public.

She had found out way too many secrets that were beyond her reach ever since last night. Though Stanley had just told her the truth that she craved for, she felt curiously unreal, as if she were in the midst of a dream.

Speechless out of shock, Xyla remained silent on the bed and waited for him to continue his story.

"Well the first time, which was that night, I really didn't know who you were but I... I was interested in you. Therefore, I had my underling look you up." "After looking up on your background, I realized you were the wife that I had never met. Because of that, when you askedto pretend to be your husband later on, I agreed to do it." "That was because I wanted a reason to get close to you, a reason forto get to know you well. I decided not to confess my real identity to you because I enjoyed being treated like a normal person by you." "Besides, I thought it was a good chance forto find out what kind of person you are and understand more thoroughly about you." Stanley continued to explain the details in earnest, his eyes expressed only sincerity as he spoke. "Please trust me, Xyla. I swear I bore no malice toward you." He added.

The words blurted out from his mouth, in fact, were sensible and reasonable to her.

This man was a noble of Country Z. Due to his special identity, it was hard for him to tell if the people, who approached him, were doing it for his money or because they liked him in person... This was the reason why he decided to approach her by pretending to be an ordinary person.

"To be frank, I've been thinking to cclean and explain everything to you but I didn't manage to find the perfect timing. I really had no idea that Grandpa would suddenly arrange for us to meet yesterday evening." Stanley clasped his hands on her shoulders as he spoke.

However, Xyla had not recovered from all the shock and surprise. There was too much information for her to digest.

Everything seemed to make sense to her now. Previously, she was very confused why the Dragon Group would suddenly give Quest Property Group money without seeking any benefit from them. She finally understood the reason behind it.

It turned out that it was because she had the young master of Dragon Group by her side! No wonder she always felt that this man has a strong aura exuding from him. It painted a clear difference in status compared to the others, as if he was snoble or higher-ups. After all, he really was. As she recalled all these little details of his, she was utterly convinced by everything he said. She did believe him.

"Look, this is my ID card, and my family's household register booklet." Stanley directly took out his identification card as well as the household register booklet from the pocket of his suit, placing them in her palms.

He was afraid that Xyla did not trust him. Therefore, he went to hunt for these yesterday and carried them! along with him, thinking that he could show her sproof if she refused to believe his words. His sincerity was undoubted and undeniable indeed.

She took a glance at the identification card before opening the household C register booklet. The names of every member of his family were clearly written inside the booklet.

Other than the familiar names that she knew such as Ron Batton, Wilson Batton and Catherine Catherine Batton sah Battonant website on Gøøgl the Find to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. She saw Josh Batton's name! Josh was his brother? It was no wonder she always thought that Josh resembled him! Likewise, Josh had used a fake identity to involve in the entertainment industry. Just like Stanley, he stood up high on the social ladder.

Xyla could not believe her eyes at all. Everything seemed so unreal.

"Can... Can you forgive me?" Stanley asked her carefully, "I really don't mean any harm, Xyla. I'm sorry that I'm only confessing all of this to you now." Never in his life had he been so petty and low, begging for someone to forgive him.
