Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 116

The message was just sent when the ballroom door was pushed open by two male waiters in suits.

Following suit, Xyla could be seen lifting her dress as she walked in elegantly.

Her curly ebony hair fell naturally on her shoulders. With just light makeup and pink lips, she was beautiful beyond comparison.

The light pink chiffon dress accentuated her dazzling fair skin. Her collarbone was painted with shimmery highlights and made this already attractive feature of hers even more sensual.

Paired with a tear-drop shaped diamond necklace that cost six digits, she seemed too dignified to be approached, too divine to be touched. As if one more look from an ordinary human was an insult to her.

She had done nothing, but her presence easily attracted the gazes of everyone in the room.

In an instant, everyone was blinded by her brilliance.

The men who had been staring at Mary's table were now all staring fixedly at Xyla, unblinking.

This scene made Mary and the others extremely frustrated on the inside!

Xyla calmly scanned her surroundings before continuing forward leisurely while holding onto her skirt. In between her swaying steps, her silver stiletto heels gleamed.

She walked directly over to Mary and sat down beside her.

In an instant, the light on everyone else seemed to fade away to become her background. Every man present still had their eyes fixed on Xyla.

Xyla politely smiled at everyone. "Hello everyone, sorry, I'm late."

"Hello, Xyla..." Tony said with a smile.

Bailey mimicked Tony and smiled at Xyla as well, greeting her with a 'hello'.

"I say, Xyla. Didn't you say you would bring your husband? Where is he? Why isn't he here? Be honest, he's actually ugly and a gangster that can't fit into society, that's why you don't have the guts to bring him here, isn't he?"

Mary interrogated as she looked coldly at Xyla.

"He has an emergency, so he'll be late," Xyla said calmly.

No matter how much Mary's attitude irritated her, she still had to maintain her elegance in public.

The group further believed in Mary's words after hearing Xyla's explanation.

"I think you're just stalling..." Quinn added.

"Yeah, that's right. After a while, are you going to say that he's just too busy that he can't pull himself away, so he won't be coming?" Felicia scoffed.

"Xyla, oh Xyla. Who knew that you would actually marry a social outcast, tsk tsk tsk... What's the use if you look like a goddess? You still end up being tainted by something so dirty."

Mary shook her head as she continued to insult Xyla with contempt in her eyes.

"Actually, there's no use trying to keep him hidden. Your ugly husband would have to meet his parents-in-law eventually." Quinn shot Xyla a sideways glance.

"Since ancient times, beauties have all had hard lives. What's the use if you're good-looking? It's more important for a woman to marry a good-looking man." Mary couldn't resist rolling her eyes at Xyla. The words of these girls were terribly piercing to Xyla's ears.

However, Xyla remained unfazed as she kept her head down, silently playing with her phone. She did not want to exchange insults with them at such a place.

When a dog bites you, you can't possibly bite it back, right?

Xyla's silence only made the people at the table surer of their assumptions.

Bailey faked a distressed expression and let out a long sigh. "Sigh, I had thought you would replace someone better after separating from Tom. Who knew that you'd turn out like this instead? Oh Xyla, what a pity." Tony and Julian never interrupted. The father and son pair were like outsiders as they sat while drinking tea.

Xyla slowly shifted her gaze to Bailey.
