Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2328

“Got it. I’ll book the entire hall for you, will that do?” Sharon Lindt asked her son.

Josh Batton nodded. “Okay, sure. Thanks.”

“I’m doing this for Annabeth. I hope her husband gets the respect he deserves,” she clarified.

“Mom, you don’t need to be so upfront about certain things,” he told her.

“That won’t do. Some things need to be made clear.”

“Fine. I now know for sure that my brother and I were adopted. Annabeth and Xyla are your real daughters. That is dead certain,” Josh lamented.

“I can’t help it if that’s what you think,” his mother replied.

“Yes,” Wilson Batton said.

Their two sons were speechless.

“What genre is that film of yours?” Sharon asked.

“Wasn’t it all over the news?” Josh replied.

“Yes, but I had my full attention on Annabeth and Xyla, so I didn’t have time to pay attention to you. I’m sorry.”

He felt hurt once again, nodding before letting out a bitter laugh. “Fine. The film is about Three Kingdoms.”

“Oh, Three Kingdoms," she echoed with a slow nod. "What was your role?”

He sighed wearily. “I told you this already. I’m acting as one of the generals.”

“Oh, I forgot,” she said.

Josh didn't bother replying.

His mother peered over at his wife and abruptly changed the subject. “You told me you’ve been losing hair after giving birth, didn’t you? I have ordered shampoo that counters hair loss. It should be arriving soon.”
