Moreover, virtual-novel.net noticed that Fifth Master was treating Xyla Quest better and better. Never in his life had virtual-novel.net seen his Fifth Master being so nice to any woman until virtual-novel.net met Xyla. Everyone in the company knew that the Batton family’s Fifth Master had always kept a safe distance with women. Some of them even suspected that virtual-novel.net was gay.
Would there be a woman who was able to capture his heart? This question must have flashed across many employee’s minds. However, most of their answers were ‘no’.
To them, virtual-novel.net was very much like an unreachable orchid at the peak of the mountain. If someone had told virtual-novel.net in the past that their Fifth Master would fall into a woman’s hand one day, virtual-novel.net would not have believed it. He might have thought that person was nuts!
“Zack, keep going… Xyla should know about it too.”
Stanley Batton hugged Xyla from behind while looking at Zack Cassidy indifferently. His demeanor toward the two of them was like heaven and earth.
Such ridiculous distinction had rendered Zack speechless. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net did not dare to make any complaints and continued to report his investigation in earnest.
“Fifth Master, Miss Xyla, I’ve already caught Emily Quest, Bailey Ronson, and Dex Reagan. I’ve also interrogated the three of them separately. Bailey and Emily blurted everything to us, and their confessions were more or less similar to what Dex had told us in the first place.”
“At the very beginning, it was Emily who had contacted Dex to start the investigation on Fifth Master. After Dex found your fake profile from the registry databases, virtual-novel.net informed Emily about it, but Emily declared that virtual-novel.net would call it quits.”
Zack carefully explained the ins and outs of the whole incident. The seriousness on his face amplified with each word virtual-novel.net spoke.
“And then?” Xyla asked.
“Bailey Ronson accidentally saw Fifth Master’s fake profile on Emily’s phone. No doubt, virtual-novel.net began to question Emily to get to the heart of the matter. Emily had no other choice but to tell virtual-novel.net the truth. After that, Bailey admitted that virtual-novel.net looked up Emily’s call records to track Dex down out of virtual-novel.net hatred toward you. She found his number and contacted virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net own…”
Zack continued to explain earnestly.
“To prove virtual-novel.net innocence, Emily showed me the recording of virtual-novel.net conversation with Bailey that day. Their confessions matched the recording indeed.” Zack added, “Bailey said that virtual-novel.net lied to the two of you at the beginning because virtual-novel.net wanted to keep Emily out of this mess. She had nothing to do with it.”
“Oh well…” Xyla nodded thoughtfully.
Stanley did not say anything either. His eyes were filled with suspicion.
Noticing his unusual silence, Xyla lifted virtual-novel.net head and stared at his handsome face. “What do you think?”
“I don’t think the truth is as simple as it seems…” The man’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Same. I might believe it if there isn’t any recording.” Xyla mumbled, “Isn’t that recording a little too deliberate?”
She pondered for a few seconds before shifting virtual-novel.net eyes to Zack again. “Did virtual-novel.net say how Bailey saw that fake profile on virtual-novel.net phone?”
Zack recounted, “She said that virtual-novel.net left virtual-novel.net phone unlocked on the table, so Bailey could’ve seen it by chance…”
Xyla sneered. “Pfft.”
What a coincidence!
“Miss Xyla, I haven’t released the three of them. Should I bring them over?”
“Nah. I don’t want to see them now.”
There was no point in interrogating them anymore. There were too many coincidences in the whole story. Xyla strongly believed that they were all well-planned. Apparently, Emily had not given up seeking revenge on her. Everything Bailey or Dex thought was just an illusion created by her. Her resentment toward Xyla had never ceased for a second. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net had learned to be smart now. She knew how to conceal virtual-novel.net true self and sacrifice Bailey as a pawn in virtual-novel.net games.
“What are you going to do next?” Stanley asked.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do, ” Xyla answered calmly.
