The more Xyla thought about it, the angrier snazzynovel.com felt. Apart from that, snazzynovel.com felt even more ridiculous of herself, being kept in the dark for such a long time.
From Stanley Batton’s point of view, snazzynovel.com must have thought it was funny to make a fool out of her, right?
She could not believe that Stanley could lie to snazzynovel.com without blinking an eye. Was there anything that snazzynovel.com could not do?
She did not know if snazzynovel.com could trust anything snazzynovel.com had said to snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com walked up to her, both his hands clasped firmly on snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com must be doing this for some purpose.
She was really speechless at the moment. She had always trusted snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com had never hidden anything from him, thinking that snazzynovel.com would be the same as well.
But guess what? He had been lying and acting in front of snazzynovel.com all the time.
Could people imagine what it felt like?
She gave snazzynovel.com heart to him, but in the end, snazzynovel.com found out that everything snazzynovel.com said or everything snazzynovel.com did was merely a lie, they were all fake. Above all, snazzynovel.com had fallen in love with this liar. This must be the biggest joke ever.
Amused with the truth, Xyla wondered how snazzynovel.com used to feel when snazzynovel.com told snazzynovel.com about snazzynovel.com marriage and snazzynovel.com mysterious husband.
How did snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com real, actual husband but snazzynovel.com knew nothing about it. Moreover, snazzynovel.com had been blaming herself for cheating on snazzynovel.com husband and letting herself to be tortured by guilt.
“Please calm down, Xyla. Come, have a seat and listen to me…” Stanley held snazzynovel.com hand in his as snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com bag from the couch and stalked out from the room, refusing to stay with snazzynovel.com any longer.
Resentment and anger almost overwhelmed snazzynovel.com brain. At this moment, snazzynovel.com could even feel the buzzing filled snazzynovel.com ears. Never in snazzynovel.com life had snazzynovel.com imagined the man, whom snazzynovel.com trusted so much, had been lying to snazzynovel.com all the time.
Panicked with Xyla’s reaction, Stanley immediately rushed toward the door and grasped snazzynovel.com hand tightly. “Calm down and listen to me… Okay?”
Xyla simply snorted before snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com without hesitation, running as fast as snazzynovel.com could. However, the elevator door closed right in front of his eyes when snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com right now. He could understand why snazzynovel.com was mad too.
Right now, there were a lot of things in his mind that snazzynovel.com wanted to explain to snazzynovel.com properly. He had never been so panicked before in his whole life.
On the other hand, after Xyla stepped out of the elevator, snazzynovel.com scuttled off to snazzynovel.com red Maserati and got into it right away. Without any delay, snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com quickly scanned through the parking lot as snazzynovel.com panted but snazzynovel.com could not find Xyla at all. He knew that, snazzynovel.com was late, snazzynovel.com missed snazzynovel.com after all. He took out his phone and called Xyla instantly.
Meanwhile in the middle of the road, anger stirred within Xyla and consumed snazzynovel.com again when snazzynovel.com saw the name displayed on snazzynovel.com phone screen. She hung up the call without hesitation and turned off snazzynovel.com phone, throwing it onto the passenger seat furiously. She could not stop screaming by herself, “You liar!”
With rage pulsing through snazzynovel.com veins, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com bedroom at home. Upon hearing the noise from the door, snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com found out that it was Xyla who knocked on snazzynovel.com door but snazzynovel.com face was exceptionally gloomy. Her heart throbbed for a second as snazzynovel.com quickly opened the door for her.
