Compared to the look of nervousness and anticipation on everyone's faces, Xyla Quest seemed calm and composed.

Seeing her that way, Mary Sullivan couldn't resist cursing in her heart.

She honestly didn't understand why Xyla was putting up such an act.

It was clear Xyla had lost, but yet she still behaved so indifferently.

It didn't matter, though. Xyla would not be able to keep up the act much longer.

Darren Green's eyes were filled with excitement and shock when he saw everyone.

There was even a slight sense of fear.

Mary was even more confident when she noticed his expression.

She immediately approached Darren with a look of anticipation. "Is there nothing down there? Hmm?"

Darren ignored her. Instead, he ran up to Xyla.

His silence further solidified Mary's confidence that there was indeed nothing down there.

Mary raced past Darren and stood before Xyla with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Looks like there is nothing. Xyla, be a good girl now, get down on your knees and call me 'Mommy'."

With that, Mary slowly flicked her recently polished nails against one another.

The look of arrogance and satisfaction in her eyes could not be more obvious.

Xyla felt extremely annoyed at the sight.

However, she refrained from showing any emotion. Instead, she slowly walked past Mary and looked at Darren's face. "How did it go, Darren?"

"Can't looks?

Still, Xyla ignored her and resumed gazing at Darren.

Darren glared at Mary before walking over to her. "Ms. Quest, we didn't replace any jade down there...”

Upon hearing this, Mary, Frederick Shaw, Cain Hollander, and the bodyguards who came with Xyla were shocked.

None of them had expected this to happen.

Mary, seemingly dumbfounded, felt thoroughly humiliated at that moment.

Recalling how she acted so arrogantly in front of Xyla, she wished she could jump into the mine and never come out.

If she had known this might happen, she would never have made that bet with Xyla.

She was the one who established the terms of the bet for the loser, and now she was the one who lost.

Feeling troubled, Mary practically shot herself in the foot.

Why was victory always on Xyla's side? Why was Xyla so lucky each time?

Frederick took a deep breath as he studied Xyla, his calm expression now replaced with one of respect and admiration.
