Chapter 543
It was because X knew that Stanley Batton had never messed up anything in his life. Everything
he did was wless.
“X, Stan, what are you two talking about? Are you guys discussing your performance?” Bailey
Ronson said again.
X simply smiled before she turned to meet her eyes. “You’re right. We’re going to sing.”
Disbelief and confusion were swimming in Jeremy Quest’s eyes. “Are you serious?”
However, X responded to him 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 her seat, X strode toward the stage and whispered her request to the beautiful
host standing aside.
The host nodded her head without hesitation.
With that out of the way, X grinned at the host before returning to Stanley’s side.
Soon, Ava Carter’s performance ended in a big round of apuse.
The beautiful host walked to the center of the stage with a stunning smile on her face and
announced, “Next, I would like to introduce X Quest and Stanley Batton, who will be singing
‘Unrestrained’ for us this evening. Please join me to wee them to the stage!”
As soon as the host had just finished her sentence, two workers quickly carried the Chinese zither
to the center of the stage.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
Immediately, all eyes fell on X as well as Stanley.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
“What’s going on? Is X going to perform with her husband?”
“The Chinese zither? Is one of them going to y 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’sments, she took a sip of the red wine in her right hand, while
her other hand remained on May Conner’s shoulder. She looked at the crowd and said, “Who says
that they can’t sing? X reckons that her husband sings even better than professional singers
even though he 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 X will never lie to us…” May added.
X was extremely irritated at Bailey’s and May’s provocation, and the guests’ discussions were
equally offensive to her as well.
She was aware that Bailey had achieved her goal right down.
By proiming that Stanley could sing better than a professional singer in front of the crowd, Bailey
had already ced 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.
“X has never once told a lie since she was young.” May red at the jabbering guests and
rebuked.
Subsequently, she deliberately held Jeremy’s hand and whispered, “Honey, X and Stan will
definitely prove them wrong.”
Though May was trying to reassure her husband on the surface, she 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 she stared at X and Stanley’s back, hoping that the
two of them would be ridiculed by everyone soon.
Emily Quest was as happy as her mother. She could not help but grin evilly, waiting for X and
Stanley to mess up their performance.
Tom Sullivan was sitting next to her. Likewise, he 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, he red at Stanley’s back. Hatred and resentment filling his eyes.
