Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
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!" The first thing she had to do was to find out who her sister-in-law had been meeting up with recently. Destroying their relationship would be the obvious next step.

Now how was she going to make sure that the enemy would leave her sister-in-law alone and move on after Catherine had found him?

Perhaps she could lure him with money. Maybe even hire someone to scare him away?

Both ideas sounded feasible in her mind. Though before any of that, she needed to first find out the identity of the person. Money would be pretty pointless if the person was already rich. If that was the case, she would have to forcibly persuade him not to see her sister-in-law anymore.

Things would be much easier if he was penniless. A little money would be enough to get rid of him for good.

Why was she so smart? Such a brilliant girl! She smiled as she continued to praise herself in her head. Delighted with her finalized plan, she snapped her fingers with confidence before returning to the dining area.

Stanley had been reading a file, his head tilted downwards. He bore an extremely serious and cold expression on his face.

Truly heart-breaking... Catherine's palm found itself on her face before she walked over to his side. She patted Stanley on the shoulder and with a serious tone, she said, "I'm not sure what's bothering you Fifth brother, but trust me. Everything will turn out just fine."

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.
