Xyla Quest replied while smiling, “Of course…”Paying for more than fifty million for this item, it would be weird if Tony Sullivan was not mad.The next item was what Sharon Lindt wanted — A Jade Hairpin.After the auctioneer had given a brief introduction about the item, the crowd started bidding.The starting price was one million and it had increased to twenty million.Xyla waited for the bidding price to stop increasing so much and raised her bid card. “Twenty one million…”At this point, almost everyone had given up on bidding. In the end, Xyla succeeded in winning the bid and getting the hairpin. She felt satisfied.The next item that Sharon wanted was a 1950s Supreme Sapphire Necklace from F Country.When the necklace was put on the stage, the ladies were startled.Even though the necklace was old, it was still shining brilliantly.The chain of the necklace was made of individual round sapphires, at the bottom of the necklace was a big teardrop shaped sapphire that wa
Xyla Quest was even more stupefied.To use three hundred million to buy a set of jewelry does not seem possible for a person like Sebastian Brenand.As she was looking at their backs, Xyla was extremely confused, her mind full of questions. What is going on exactly? Or does Sebastian’s identity is not as she thought?Maybe, he’s a son of a rich and powerful person?If that was the case, why does he act like Five Batton is superior to him?Five is just a gangster.What capabilities did he have, to make a rich and powerful person’s son bow to him?Or maybe, Five’s real identity is superior to Sebastian’s.Or Five actually was not a gangster, but rather some super powerful person?Xyla thought that it was impossible, since why would Stanley Batton cooperate with her if he was someone this powerful? He would not have the time.But if Five Batton is not some powerful person, what exactly is this situation?At this moment, she could not think of an explanation…After Sebastian go
”There is only one powerful family in Atlantis that has the surname Brenand right?” The lady said while smiling.Xyla Quest could not believe what she heard.Powerful family in Atlantis with the surname Brenand?Other than the Brenand family that she knew of, there wasn’t a second. That family was a very famous family of nobles after all…In the so-called society there is a hierarchy. At the top is power and influence, and the second is being just rich.The Brenand family is definitely at the top.There’s not much information about the members in their family on Baidu.Xyla never expected Sebastian Brenand to have such a noble background.But why would he be with Five Batton if he had such a background? Logically speaking, the fifth master is way out of Sebastian’s league.Why would Sebastian bother mixing with peasants?Many thoughts ran through Xyla’s mind, as she stood there stunned.One of the ladies lightly shook Xyla back to reality, she laughed. “What happened? Did yo
Rebecca Robin said as she added Xyla Quest in WeChat. “Alright, let’s meet up again next time.”Xyla nodded. “Okay…”Xyla wanted to hangout with Rebecca again from the bottom of her heart, it was not a courtesy call. She had a good first impression of Rebecca.From the night’s experience, she had a good feeling about Rebecca.She could feel that Rebecca was only full of good intentions towards her, so she was happy to have become her friend.“Alright, it's settled! I’ll take my leave now, bye…” Rebecca said as she was being protected by bodyguards that escorted her to a black Rolls-Royce.After watching Rebecca leave, Xyla turned towards her car and prepared to leave.“Xyla… Were you proud of yourself today?”Mary Sullivan’s voice rang behind Xyla. Xyla could not help but frown as she turned towards Mary…At this moment, Mary was only one meter away from her, standing on the steps. Mary was looking down at Xyla from the steps proudly, her hands crossed. Her eyes were full of d
Stanley Batton’s eyebrows twitched while looking at her with a serious face. “Who are you?” Xyla questioned.He asked calmly, “Why would u suddenly ask this question?”After a second, his eyes were searching for an emotion to show.“I just feel like your real identity is not that simple.” Xyla said.“For example?”“Today, I went to an auction house…”“Yes, you told me.”“Only special people can attend this auction.” Xyla said.“You told me this as well.”“I saw Sebastian Brenand there. I even heard that Sebastian is a young master from the Brenand family that is famous in Atlantis.” Xyla said truthfully.The expression on his face did not change. “So?”“So, I suspect that you’re also some rich family’s young master… A family more powerful than Sebastian’s. I think you're lying to me.” Xyla said straightforwardly.Ding dong...ding dong…The doorbell rang.Stanley did not answer her and got up slowly to open the door.A few men in black suits stood outside the door.Ex
“This, I helped Aunty to bid.” Xyla Quest said. “It’s pretty isn’t it”“Yeah.” Stanley Batton quietly looked at the set of jewelry, “You like it?”“Yeah I like it.” Xyla stared at the set of jewelry, her eyes full of joy.He said nothing and quietly looked at Xyla’s beautiful face.After looking at the items for a while, Xyla unwillingly put them away and closed the boxes. She then turned to look at Stanley.After some thought, she realized that her earlier judgement may be wrong.If the fifth master was some son of a rich person, what he wore and used would be famous brands and not some unknown cheap brand.Even the house he lived in before this, it’s impossible for him to live in such a small house. His car won’t be a black Honda either.He also had no reason to hide his identity and stay by her side. If he was such a high-profile person, why would he waste his time doing this?Maybe the reason why Sebastian Brenand was treating Stanley with respect is because the boss he is
Mary Sullivan could not understand why he was angry.Didn’t he say that he wanted the vase no matter what? She managed to buy the vase, shouldn’t he be thanking her?“I told you that you need to get the vase no matter what, but shouldn’t you assess the situation as well? Eight hundred million and you still want it? Did I not tell you that this vase’s price is three hundred million at the most?” Tony Sullivan said angrily.“But didn’t you say u like this vase? If you like it that much then just buy it, so what if it’s over the market price by five hundred million? Why does it matter?” Mary said, dissatisfied.“You…” Tony was so angry that he was at a loss for words, he raised his hands and hit Mary in the head once more. “You failure… What I’m trying to say is that it is obvious if it’s overpriced you should not buy it.”The pain spreaded throughout the back of her head, making her dizzy. While rubbing the spot that she got hit, she complained. “Then why did you not tell me properl
If Mary Sullivan didn’t offend her, she would not try to out bid her for the flower vase and leave her in such a situation.Xyla Quest, that b*tch!**The next morning, Xyla woke up early.Because there was not much activity in the morning, she lazily got into the bathroom. She turned on the warm water for the bathtub, added a bath bomb and some rose petals.She comfortably sat in the bathtub, surrounded by rose petals with a face mask on her face.Her body was mostly covered in bubble foam, only her two white as snow long arms were visible. It made her look very seductive.Even though her injury on her left shoulder has been healed, it still left an ugly and disgusting looking giant red scar.Ring, ring, ring… The phone beside the bathtub rang. Xyla noticed that it was Rebecca Robin who was calling. She immediately picked up the phone, put it on speaker mode and continued to enjoy her bubble bath. “Hello Aunt Rebecca, how are you?”“Xyla, remember at yesterday’s auction I bou
