Chapter 370
“To be honest, it’s not a big deal… It’s just that I received an invitation to an antique auction. I don’t have the time, and I was hoping you could go in my place… Help me acquire a jasper hairpin from Tang Dynasty. I wonder, could you do that for me, please?” Sharon Lindt asked with a smile.“When is it?” Xyla Quest asked.“A week later, eight o’clock in the evening,” Sharon said before retrieving the invitation from her handbag and pushing it over to Xyla.Xyla had heard about this antique auction before. She was told that all antique items auctioned there were extremely rare and valuable. In fact, all antique items would start with a bidding price of at least ten million dollars.It wasn’t an auction just anyone could attend because they had money.Not only was wealth necessary, but a very prominent status was needed too.“Okay,” Xyla answered with little hesitation.“Make any offer you’d like. Somebody will pay for it,” Sharon said as she gently patted the back of Xyla’s ha

“You… Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that?” Mary Sullivan asked through gritted teeth.After that, Mary carefully examined this woman who sat across from her. Although this lady was dressed in expensive clothing from head to toe, the white cashmere sweater she wore was from the previous season’s design of a major brand.Hence, Mary was sure that this woman was not exactly an ultra-rich person.She might be wealthy, but not that wealthy.“I’m someone you can never compare to. Do you have an opinion on that? Keep it to yourself,” Sharon Lindt said before her smile widened. Sharon’s eyes now looked like crescent moons because of her widened smile.When Xyla Quest heard how Sharon dissed Mary, she felt secretly pleased. Her mood suddenly improved.Xyla was beginning to like Aunty Lindt more and more.Not only was she good-looking, but she had a lovely personality too.Now, Mary felt thoroughly provoked. She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Sharon. “What is your

Mary Sullivan immediately stomped her feet on the ground. She then dialed ‘110’ and explained what happened over the phone.After that, she hailed for a taxi and left in a huff.By the window, Sharon Lindt could see Mary’s look of anger before she left. A satisfactory smile appeared on her face.Likewise, Xyla Quest could see what happened outside clearly. She could be seen smiling through her eyes.Xyla didn’t believe that Mary’s tires were punctured purely out of coincidence…She wondered who dared to do something like this under broad daylight.“Beep, beep…” Right then, someone sent Sharon a WeChat message.“Madam, Mary Sullivan has called the cops, but I have already deleted all surveillance footage around the area…”When Sharon saw this message, her smile widened.She quickly put her phone away and looked at Xyla. “Does it feel good?”“What?” Xyla asked.“That b*tch’s tires were punctured… Don’t you feel less upset now?” Sharon asked.When Sharon said this, Xyla immedi

“Don’t worry about it, Aunty. But how did you know that car belonged to Mary Sullivan? Did you see Mary getting out of the car earlier?” Xyla Quest asked.“Yes…” Sharon Lindt answered truthfully.***After the meal, Sharon chatted with Xyla for a long while.They talked about fashion, hairstyles, makeup, and traveling. It seemed as if they had endless topics to talk about.Through conversing with Sharon, Xyla could deeply sense this woman’s vitality.Although Sharon was not very young, she was young in terms of her mentality. She played most games young people played. In fact, there were a lot of games she played that young people couldn’t even play well.It was as if an eighteen-year-old lived within Sharon Lindt’s heart. She always lived like she were a child.Xyla was particularly fond of Sharon because of that.After chatting for a long while, they finally parted with heavy hearts.A week later, Xyla had fully recovered.After leaving Quest Group in the evening, Xyla fix

Mary Sullivan felt certain that Xyla Quest wouldn’t have an entrance ticket.Mary herself had put in a lot of effort to get this entrance ticket through many family connections.Since the Quest family was not as influential as the Sullivan family, how could the former possibly get one of the tickets?Mary crossed her arms over her chest and looked arrogantly at Xyla. “Are you here to seduce the wealthy folks? Let me guess who your target is. Hmm… Could it be the president? Are you here because you know the president would be here too?” She asked.Xyla found Mary’s behavior both annoying and funny.However, she was a little surprised by the information Mary offered that the president would be here.That explained why this auction was so difficult to get into. It turned out the president was the reason.Xyla raised her brows slightly and looked at Mary. “Do you think other people are like you?”“You… What do you mean?” Mary asked through gritted teeth.“I meat exactly what I sai

“I must say, girls these days… They really are shameless. Even when they are married, they still can’t keep their hands to themselves. They think about seducing capable men all day.”“Isn’t that true? Now, many girls rely on their good looks to do barbaric things like stealing other people’s husbands.”“I think the law isn’t stringent enough. The women who like seducing other people’s husbands should be punishable by death. I’d like to see if any of these seductive b*tches would still dare to do such a thing.”The group of rich housewives continued to discuss among themselves and didn’t seem to intent on leaving.Each one of them sounded sarcastic and mean.Xyla Quest knew that Mary Sullivan’s choice of topic was a key trigger for these women.That was why they had reacted so emotionally.What did women like them hate the most? It was probably the fact that their husbands looked for girls younger and prettier than them.Unfortunately, whatever they feared would usually happen.

The noblewomen began a wave of discussion again. Their eyes were all overflowed with disgust and hatred. Mary Sullivan’s attitude and behaviour had triggered Xyla Quest. Xyla had the urge to slap her to the ground so hard that she could not even get up. However, Xyla managed to hold back. She gazed at Mary coldly and took out the invitation card from her bag quietly. Mary was shocked momentarily.So did everyone else…None of them thought that Xyla would receive an invitation card.Mary felt like she was being slapped by Xyla right on her face. How did Xyla get the invitation card?She had spent so much effort to get such a precious and rare invitation card. How could Xyla have it?Then, what was she doing just now? Was she dumb?“I thought you said that she doesn’t have an invitation? How come she has it?”“Why is this girl spreading rumors? Guess what she has said all this while can’t be trusted either, can it?”“So she’s insulting Xyla just because she has a chip on he

“Is this girl trying to cover up her weakness by insulting others? Ridiculous.”The noblewomen started whispering around them.Mary Sullivan felt as her face was being slapped by them several times without mercy.She was abashed and annoyed at the same time. She glared at Xyla Quest fiercely and yelled, “I might know nothing… but I’m still allowed to come, right? No one says that people who are ignorant about antiques cannot come, right? I’m here to pick up men just because I don’t know any better? Can’t it be anything else? Can’t I come to learn?”“Eat your own words, girl. When you questioned my lack of knowledge of antiques, you clearly said that people who don’t know anything about antiques are here for gold-digging. How come you’re allowed to learn when it comes to you? Mary Sullivan, you’re pretty double standard, eh?”Xyla was in no hurry to fight her back. She dropped her eyes on her right hand when she finished her sentence and flicked her nails. Mary was totally speech
