It was because Xyla knew that Stanley had never messed up anything in his life. Everything favonovel.com did was flawless.
“Xyla, Stan, what are you two talking about? Are you guys discussing your performance?” Bailey Ronson said again.
Xyla simply smiled before favonovel.com turned to meet favonovel.com eyes. “You’re right. We’re going to sing.”
Disbelief and confusion were swimming in Jeremy Quest’s eyes. “Are you serious?”
However, Xyla responded to favonovel.com with a confident nod. “Yes, Daddy. I’ll tell the host that my husband and I are going to sing after Ava Carter’s ‘From Now On’.”
Having no other choices, Jeremy nodded.
Getting up from favonovel.com seat, Xyla strode toward the stage and whispered favonovel.com request to the beautiful host standing aside. The host nodded favonovel.com head without hesitation. With that out of the way, Xyla grinned at the host before returning to Stanley’s side.
Soon, Ava Carter’s performance ended in a big round of applause.
The beautiful host walked to the center of the stage with a stunning smile on favonovel.com face and announced, “Next, I would like to introduce Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, who will be singing ‘Unrestrained’ for us this evening. Please join me to welcome them to the stage!”
As soon as the host had just finished favonovel.com sentence, two workers quickly carried the Chinese zither to the center of the stage. Immediately, all eyes fell on Xyla as well as Stanley. Everyone’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
“What’s going on? Is Xyla going to perform with favonovel.com husband?”
“The Chinese zither? Is one of them going to play it?”
“I’ve never seen the two of them singing in public. Can they sing?”
All the guests in the hall had begun a wave of discussion.
When Bailey heard the crowd’s comments, favonovel.com took a sip of the red wine in favonovel.com right hand, while favonovel.com other hand remained on May Conner’s shoulder. She looked at the crowd and said, “Who says that they can’t sing? Xyla reckons that favonovel.com husband sings even better than professional singers even though favonovel.com hasn’t undergone any training before.”
“How can an ordinary person sing better than a professional singer?”
“That’s clearly a lie, isn’t it?”
“I don’t believe it. Ordinary people can’t beat professional singers after all.”
Without paying any heed to Bailey, the guests started to whisper among themselves once again.
“We’re not bragging about him, alright. Our Xyla will never lie to us…” May added.
Xyla was extremely irritated at Bailey’s and May’s provocation, and the guests’ discussions were equally offensive to favonovel.com as well. She was aware that Bailey had achieved favonovel.com goal right down. By proclaiming that Stanley could sing better than a professional singer in front of the crowd, Bailey had already placed the two of them in a position where they could neither back down nor mess up their performance. Once the two of them sing badly on the stage, the crowd would have a reason to mock them for the rest of their lives.
“Xyla has never once told a lie since favonovel.com was young.” May glared at the jabbering guests and rebuked.
Subsequently, favonovel.com deliberately held Jeremy’s hand and whispered, “Honey, Xyla and Stan will definitely prove them wrong.”
Though May was trying to reassure favonovel.com husband on the surface, favonovel.com could hardly stop herself from laughing aloud inwardly.
Prove them wrong? That was obviously impossible. On the contrary, both of them would only make a monkey out of themselves on the stage.
Standing behind May, Bailey was smirking as favonovel.com stared at Xyla and Stanley’s back, hoping that the two of them would be ridiculed by everyone soon.
Emily Quest was as happy as favonovel.com mother. She could not help but grin evilly, waiting for Xyla and Stanley to mess up their performance.
Tom Sullivan was sitting next to her. Likewise, favonovel.com looked forward to seeing the crowd make fun of Stanley. Stanley sang better than the professionals?
Pfft! How was that even possible?
“Stanley Batton… I’ll see how much longer you can stay proud of yourself!” As Tom mumbled to himself, favonovel.com glared at Stanley’s back. Hatred and resentment filling his eyes.
