Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1796

Xyla Quest refused to engage the two men in a discussion about the quality of her jade mines.

The man with the baritone voice noticed her smile as his gaze fixed on her face.

"Why do you look so familiar?" he asked with a smile.

Xyla chuckled. "And you are?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Cain Hollander, Mr. Shaw's protege," Cain said.

Xyla nodded before extending a hand to him politely. "Nice to meet you. I'm Xyla Quest."

Cain instantly realized who she was. "No wonder you looked so familiar. You're that Xyla who regularly appears on the list of hot topics, aren't you?" Xyla nodded.

"It is my pleasure to meet you. Does this jade mine belong to you?" Cain asked.

"Yes, it belongs to me."

"Take my advice; don't keep digging. You'll only lose money if you don't stop," Cain said.

Xyla chuckled again. "I intend to keep digging," she replied with a calm expression.

Cain couldn't resist laughing when he heard this. "Believe me, even if you keep going, nothing will come of it. The quality of jade you replace now determines what lies beneath it." "If I'm not mistaken, you'll probably only unearth things like granite," he added.

Xyla was impressed with his professional judgment.

"But I want to keep digging," Xyla insisted.

A condescending expression also appeared on his face. "Are you all right? As rich as you are, this is not how you should spend your money."

"Darren, bring some men and continue digging down there," Xyla instructed, turning to address Darren Green.

He nodded respectfully before leading some people down into the mine.

After they had left, a familiar figure appeared before Xyla.

Xyla observed Mary Sullivan

climbing up the mountain with much difficulty, only just passing the halfway mark.

She was wearing a bright red coate with a white lace dress underneath. She also wore a pair of red

She had dyed her hair in bright pink, with a red beret that tilted to one side on top.

The way she dressed was very fashionable and eye-catching.

A slight look of surprise appeared in Xyla's eyes the moment she saw her.

Why would Mary appear here?

"Cain, you jerk! How could you come up here on your own and leave me down there? I can't walk anymore. Come here and pick me up at once!" Mary shouted miserably while facing the peak.

Her tone was dripping with a sense of superiority.

When Mary looked up, she noticed Xyla standing on the peak, promptly stopping her in her tracks.

She frowned deeply and started mumbling to herself. "Such a terrible coincidence. D*mn."

After hearing Mary's outburst, Cain quickly ran over to her.

Xyla instantly understood what was going on when she saw this.

Mary must have arrived with Cain.

The two of them seemed to be a couple now.

Meanwhile, Cain was clearly the inferior one in this relationship.

He was the kind of man who would be trampled all over by Mary.
