The more Xyla thought about it, the angrier virtual-novel.net felt. Apart from that, virtual-novel.net felt even more ridiculous of herself, being kept in the dark for such a long time.
From Stanley Batton’s point of view, virtual-novel.net must have thought it was funny to make a fool out of her, right?
She could not believe that Stanley could lie to virtual-novel.net without blinking an eye. Was there anything that virtual-novel.net could not do?
She did not know if virtual-novel.net could trust anything virtual-novel.net had said to virtual-novel.net before. Which of them were truths? How many lies were there?
Noticing the changes in Xyla’s expression, Stanley rubbed his forehead helplessly for a second before virtual-novel.net walked up to her, both his hands clasped firmly on virtual-novel.net shoulders. “I can explain. Just give me ten minutes.”
“What have you got to say for yourself? You’ve been making a monkey out of me all this while! If Grandpa doesn’t set up the meeting for us today, how long are you going to hide the truth from me?”
Her first instinct told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net must be doing this for some purpose.
She was really speechless at the moment. She had always trusted virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net had never hidden anything from him, thinking that virtual-novel.net would be the same as well.
But guess what? He had been lying and acting in front of virtual-novel.net all the time.
Could people imagine what it felt like?
She gave virtual-novel.net heart to him, but in the end, virtual-novel.net found out that everything virtual-novel.net said or everything virtual-novel.net did was merely a lie, they were all fake. Above all, virtual-novel.net had fallen in love with this liar. This must be the biggest joke ever.
Amused with the truth, Xyla wondered how virtual-novel.net used to feel when virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net about virtual-novel.net marriage and virtual-novel.net mysterious husband.
How did virtual-novel.net even manage to remain as calm as usual in moments like this?
She was pretty impressed by his acting skills as well as his indifference. She was really, really, really dumb. She fell in love with virtual-novel.net real, actual husband but virtual-novel.net knew nothing about it. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had been blaming herself for cheating on virtual-novel.net husband and letting herself to be tortured by guilt.
“Please calm down, Xyla. Come, have a seat and listen to me…” Stanley held virtual-novel.net hand in his as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Listen to you? What else do you have to say for yourself? You fraud.”
Following that statement, Xyla shrugged off his hand and darted an apathetic glance at him. She grabbed virtual-novel.net bag from the couch and stalked out from the room, refusing to stay with virtual-novel.net any longer.
Resentment and anger almost overwhelmed virtual-novel.net brain. At this moment, virtual-novel.net could even feel the buzzing filled virtual-novel.net ears. Never in virtual-novel.net life had virtual-novel.net imagined the man, whom virtual-novel.net trusted so much, had been lying to virtual-novel.net all the time.
Panicked with Xyla’s reaction, Stanley immediately rushed toward the door and grasped virtual-novel.net hand tightly. “Calm down and listen to me… Okay?”
Xyla simply snorted before virtual-novel.net turned to look at his face. “Do you think that I will believe what you say? After what you’ve done to me? Five Batton… No, Stanley Batton. It’s quite a pity that you didn’t end up being an actor.”
With that out of the way, Xyla fiercely shook off his grip once more and scurried all the way into the elevator.
Stanley chased after virtual-novel.net without hesitation, running as fast as virtual-novel.net could. However, the elevator door closed right in front of his eyes when virtual-novel.net reached the elevator. Stanley darted to the staircase over the other side and ran all the way down the stairs. He knew that Xyla was extremely angry with virtual-novel.net right now. He could understand why virtual-novel.net was mad too.
Right now, there were a lot of things in his mind that virtual-novel.net wanted to explain to virtual-novel.net properly. He had never been so panicked before in his whole life.
On the other hand, after Xyla stepped out of the elevator, virtual-novel.net scuttled off to virtual-novel.net red Maserati and got into it right away. Without any delay, virtual-novel.net started the engine and drove away, blending into the flow of traffic and speeding down the road.
Her car had driven a long way before Stanley ran out of the clubhouse, panting.
Placing his hands on his knees, virtual-novel.net quickly scanned through the parking lot as virtual-novel.net panted but virtual-novel.net could not find Xyla at all. He knew that, virtual-novel.net was late, virtual-novel.net missed virtual-novel.net after all. He took out his phone and called Xyla instantly.
Meanwhile in the middle of the road, anger stirred within Xyla and consumed virtual-novel.net again when virtual-novel.net saw the name displayed on virtual-novel.net phone screen. She hung up the call without hesitation and turned off virtual-novel.net phone, throwing it onto the passenger seat furiously. She could not stop screaming by herself, “You liar!”
With rage pulsing through virtual-novel.net veins, virtual-novel.net drove all the way to Georgie Clementine’s condo.
She took the elevator and stomped along the aisle to Georgia’s house followed by a few consecutive knocks on the door.
In the meantime, Georgie was sleeping soundly in virtual-novel.net bedroom at home. Upon hearing the noise from the door, virtual-novel.net crawled out of bed in a daze and casually put on the white silk nightgown placed by the bedside, shuffling to the door.
Through the peephole, virtual-novel.net found out that it was Xyla who knocked on virtual-novel.net door but virtual-novel.net face was exceptionally gloomy. Her heart throbbed for a second as virtual-novel.net quickly opened the door for her.
