Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 432

Zack Cassidy replied with a simple, ‘no’.

Catherine Batton squinted her eyes. She wasn’t going to give up that easily. After telling her brother she needed to use the bathroom, she gave Zack a call there.

He picked up within a second or two.

While looking at her reflection in the mirror by the sink, Catherine began her interrogation on Zack. “What’s the deal with Fifth brother, Zack? If I don’t get the truth, I’m going to complain to him that you’ve been taking me lightly ever since I returned to Country Z. That’ll make him cut your salary for sure.”

Catherine believed that if anyone knew about her brother’s troubles, it would be Zack Cassidy since he followed Stanley around every day.

In his office, Zack took in a deep breath as he rubbed his forehead. He was clearly being threatened. “Seventh Mistress, that’s a rather low way of getting information, don’t you think?”

The Fifth Master had always favored his seventh sister. If Catherine said anything negative about Zack, he would definitely be killed by Stanley Batton.

After pondering about the consequences for a while, Zack gave in with a heavy sigh and told her everything he knew.

After he was done explaining the situation, he immediately pleaded to Catherine. “Seventh Mistress, if this gets out I’ll be dead… Please don’t tell Fifth Master how you found out about the information…”

“Is my sister-in-law alright?” asked Catherine after hearing about Xyla Quest’s operation.

“She’s recovering swiftly, don’t worry,” answered Zack truthfully.

Catherine’s heart rate eased upon hearing that. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell him.”

Shortly after, she hung up the phone. Her mind began racing as she stared at herself in the mirror. Why on earth would her sister-in-law treat her Fifth brother that way?

The more she pondered about it, the more she was convinced that Zack’s second reason hit the nail on the head. Her sister-in-law had definitely fallen for someone else…!

If that was the case, her Fifth brother would be so miserable! As his sister, could she tolerate that?

She definitely couldn’t and wouldn’t!

Rolling up her sleeves, she glared at her reflection in the mirror and swore to herself. “Whoever is stealing my brother’s girl is my enemy! Just you wait and see, you bastard! I’ll kill you personally!”

She would personally make sure that everything would get back on track.

Stanley looked at her with a slightly raised brow. “What’s all this about?”

“Nothing at all.” She forced a grin on her face. She grabbed the untouched spicy chicken burger from the tray and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to eat anything?”

“You can have it,” He responded. “I still have some work to take care of.”

Stanley stayed with Catherine till every last order was eaten before heading back to the Dragon Group.

Catherine on the other hand, continued to stay at the KFC. She contacted the Dean of the Municipal Hospital through WeChat and told him to send her footage of the surveillance camera at the entrance of Xyla Quest’s ward every day.

He simply agreed without asking for further details.

With that out of the way, Catherine sighed, satisfied. She slid her phone into her pocket before finally deciding to leave the KFC.
