Xyla Quest smiled. “Of course, I’m serious.”With that, Xyla scanned the stall’s QR code using WeChat and transferred 50,000 to the stall owner…The boss was insanely happy. He tried to suppress his laughter. “I’m telling you now. There’s a rule in the antique business. Once you buy something… You can’t return it. I’m sure you’re aware of that, right?”This lady in front of him looked rather pretty, but why was she an idiot?Why would she pay 50,000 for a lousy teapot?Xyla smiled. “Of course, I know the rule. You’ll have to remember the rule you spoke of too.”Nearby, a few youngsters who were strolling past the stall couldn’t help but start laughing—“Young lady, should I say you’re a fool with a lot of money or a rich person who’s foolish?”“At one glance, I can tell it’s not worth it… You’ve been tricked.”“Yeah. I wouldn’t pay five dollars for this lousy teapot.”The things that Xyla heard were extremely annoying, but Xyla couldn’t care less about them. Instead, she smil

“If I’m not mistaken, that’s a work of Michelangelo. It originally came in a pair. I previously had one of them in my collection…” The old man said.“Michelangelo?” The stall owner was stunned. “Do you mean… The originator of purple clay teapot, Michelangelo? The one from the 15th century?”“Yes…” The old man said.“Oh my god… Then… How much does it worth?” The stall owner’s eyes were filled with shock.“If it’s really a work of Michelangelo, it’d be worth at least ten million,” the old man said.“What? Is this thing worth ten million? I sold it for 50,000. Why was I still foolishly giggling here? Am I stupid?” The stall owner felt remorseful, and he repeatedly stomped his feet in place.“Well… Yes.” The old man turned around and left after saying that.The stall owner was left fuming on his own. “D*mn! I’m really stupid!”Meanwhile, the youngsters were thoroughly shocked. After looking at each other, they all took in a deep breath and started discussing amongst themselves—“T

“Alright.” Xyla Quest smiled.She had just the same thought. Once the encrustation was removed, she would offer this purple clay teapot as a gift to her grandfather-in-law.“Xyla, I simply love you and admire you so much. Tell me, how do you know everything?” Sharon Lindt wasn’t concealing her admiration for Xyla at all.“My father and grandfather both liked collecting antiques. Being with them all the time, it’s hard not to pick up a few things,” Xyla said.“My Xyla really is excellent!” Sharon looked at Xyla as if she was a young female fan of Xyla’s.“Mom, you flatter me,” Xyla said.“Not at all. My daughter-in-law is better than anyone else,” Sharon said.“That’s an exaggeration,” Xyla said.“It isn’t… Not a single bit.” Sharon was smiling the entire time. When she looked at Xyla, there was a glimmer in her eyes. “Oh, right. Has Stan been bullying you recently?”Xyla felt a sense of warmth spread in her heart. She grinned from ear to ear. “No, he’s been very good to me.”

“I heard from Mom that you stole the show at the night market and the original jade rock auction, didn’t you?” Stanley Batton asked gently. Even the tip of his hair was soft and gentle to the touch.“Yeah.” When Xyla Quest spoke about this, her mood became even better. “I made a lot of money today.”“Yeah, I heard all about it,” Stanley said.“Did Mom tell you everything?” Xyla asked.“Yeah. She kept boasting about you in WeChat.” When Stanley mentioned this topic, a vague smile appeared upon his face.“I see.” Xyla’s smile widened gradually.When she and Sharon Lindt were shopping at the night market, Sharon kept reaching for her phone to chat with someone.It turned out Sharon was chatting with Stanley…“She kept reminding me to protect such a good wife like you,” Stanley said.“What else?” Xyla asked.“She even said that if I end up losing you, she will cut off ties with me,” Stanley said.When Xyla heard that, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly…“Do you think I would

“What’s the matter?” Stanley Batton asked.“I clearly told you last night that I was going to the office today,” Xyla Quest said.On the other side of the phone, Stanley was sitting in the conference room at Dragon Group’s headquarters. He was in the main seat.All around him were some of the company’s high-level executives.The meeting hadn’t officially started yet, and people were still coming in one by one.Meanwhile, everyone who passed by Stanley could hear the voice on the phone clearly…Zack Cassidy, who was standing next to Stanley from the start, was especially able to hear the entire call.Zack awkwardly cleared his throat.It turned out that Mr. Batton was this kind of man…When Stanley heard Zack clearing his throat, he instantly frowned a little. Subconsciously, he looked around at the people in the meeting room. After that, he stood up and walked out.Stanley leaned lazily against the wall outside the meeting room. “Alright, I know I was wrong. I’ll be careful n

Ron Batton nodded. After that, he impatiently unscrewed the porcelain bottle and excitedly surveyed its contents.Inside, there were small, black pills the size of small grains.“I didn’t expect that Yaksha would be able to solve the problem that has been bothering me for years!” Ron was very excited. He had a joyful look in his eyes.Perhaps, his favorite grandson could finally be cured!“Leave it to me… I’ll help you guys…” Ron added.“It’s okay. I’ll do it myself… If I encounter anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you for help,” Xyla said.“You’re very busy with work. Allow me. Besides, I’m free most of the time. It gets awfully boring,” Ron said.Seeing how Ron was eager to take over, Xyla didn’t say anything else. She nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll be leaving for work, Grandpa.”Ron smiled. “Okay. Be careful on the road…”After getting into her red Maserati, Xyla headed to Quest Group under her bodyguards’ protection.***Once Xyla was done with Quest Group’s work, she

“You’re welcome. Work hard, Jay. I think you’ll do great,” Xyla Quest said.“Alright,” Jay Corben said.After that, he got out of the car.Xyla, on the other hand, quickly turned the car around and led the entourage of cars back to her house…When she arrived home, Stanley Batton was already cooking in the kitchen.The living room was filled with the faint smell of the smoke from the food.The only thing in the world that soothed one’s heart was the smell of home-cooked food.Xyla’s heart suddenly felt warm.After putting down her purse, she went to wash her hands before walking into the kitchen…At this moment, Stanley was standing in front of the stove as he flipped the braised pork over in the pot.The meat seemed very enticing with its fine glow.Stanley was still wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a black silk apron over his attire.Clearly, he was only cooking, but he seemed like a male lead in a television drama series when he was doing it.“Wait for dinner in

“It’s impossible to explain in a few words. It’s better if you check it out on Weibo,” Georgie Clementine said. She sounded a little angry.“Okay.” Xyla Quest hung up the phone calmly. Curious, she opened Weibo’s list of hot topics.Hot topic number one, ‘#Xyla Quest and Jay Corben#’.Hot topic number two, ‘#Xyla Quest#’.Hot topic number three, ‘#Jay Corbe#’.After tapping on the first hot topic, Xyla saw a lot of posts from marketing accounts. There were photos of her and Jay in the car…The photos looked like they were taken from far away. All of them were very blurry, and the quality seemed extremely poor.However, their silhouettes could still be vaguely seen.Some of the photos were taken from very bizarre angles…Clearly, Xyla was unbuckling Jay’s seat belt. However, it looked like Xyla was doing something improper with her head on Jay’s thigh from the photos.There were similar texts attached to each post by marketing accounts.“Today, one of Jay’s obsessive fans pho
