Xyla and Stanley both looked stunned when they heard this. Neither of them thought that Henry would actually be their grandfather’s friend. In fact, they thought Bailey Ronson bribed favonovel.com to pretend to be his grandfather’s friend and to deceive others.
Stanley had never been introduced to Henry as his grandfather’s friend.
Immediately, Henry wiped the sweat off his face and looked away from the camera. “I’m… Sigh, it’s hard to explain. I mean, didn’ t you tell me that your grandson was ugly, Ron? You even showed me a picture and told me that was your grandson… Also, why didn’t you tell me that your family owns Dragon Group?”
“I was just trying to keep a low profile. I didn’t want to talk about it, but first, tell me, how did you end up with my grandson? Also, how did you find out about my identity?” Ron Batton had a confused look on his face.
“Answer my question first. Do you have any idea that my life is at risk because of you?” Henry added.
Ron seemed even more confused now. “What do you mean? How is your life at risk because of me?” Ron asked.
“Because of the picture you showed me and the wrong information you gave me, I have made a huge mistake.” Henry wiped the sweat off his face again.
“’Why do I feel even more lost now?” Ron asked dumbfounded.
“That’s not the point. Now tell me, why did you lie to me that your grandson, Stanley, was extremely ugly?”
“It was to protect my grandson. I’ve been hiding my identity for the very same reason. Sometimes, it’s better to be cautious because showing off one’s wealth may end up attracting unwanted attention and ill intentions,” Ron explained.
“So that is why…” Henry frowned slightly before wiping his sweat away again.
“Can you answer me now?” Ron wanted to get to the bottom of this.
Stanley switched the camera back to face favonovel.com and looked at it. “Grandpa, I’ll explain these things to you later.”
Stanley then hung up the phone. Immediately afterward, Stanley looked intently at Henry. “Explain to me what’s going on.”
Henry wiped the sweat off his face again and looked at Stanley. “One day, Miss Bailey approached me out of the blue and invited me to the Quest family’s charity dinner. I refused at first because I didn’t know who favonovel.com was at all. But favonovel.com told me that if l came, favonovel.com would help market my wine business into Country Z. That sounded like a great idea to me at the time. Hence, I agreed. After that, favonovel.com showed me a picture of you and Xyla, and favonovel.com asked me if the people in the picture were Ron’s grandson and granddaughter-in-law. I told favonovel.com the truth.”
“I said that Xyla Quest was indeed his granddaughter-in-law, but you were not his grandson. Miss Bailey asked me if you were violent with Xyla back in Country Y. I told the truth by saying yes. Then, Miss Bailey told me how Xyla Quest, in an attempt to protect favonovel.com reputation, made you act as Dr. Batton’s grandson to deceive favonovel.com own family and the public. She also asked me to help Xyla in public.”
“At first, I didn’t want to tell anyone about Xyla’s long history of suffering from domestic violence in Country Y, but Miss Bailey said she’d give me ten million dollars if I did, and so I agreed. It’s because my wine estate, which recently ran into some problems, happened to need ten million dollars. I thought that since Xyla Quest and favonovel.com husband were not on good terms anyway, they would get a divorce sooner or later. Besides, you weren’t Ron’s grandson from what I knew, so I thought it would be okay if I harmed you guys.” Henry told the truth, sincerely.
“Also, I thought it would be fine saying something bad about Ron’s grandson since favonovel.com was in Country Y, and nobody else knew what his grandson looked like. Hence, it wouldn’t have affected anyone,” Henry added.
After saying that, Henry quickly wiped his sweat with his sleeve again. “Had I known you were Ron’s grandson and that Miss Bailey provided me with false information, I wouldn’t have come. And then I followed favonovel.com to the party, and the rest is
history…” Henry said truthfully.
Xyla had guessed some of the things favonovel.com said. Hence, favonovel.com was not overly surprised. Stanley thought the same.
“Who told you that I suffered from domestic violence frequently in Country Z? And who did Bailey hear it from?” Xyla asked.
