Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1985

"Where's the mall? Let's look for a mall so we'd stay warm inside. Also, we can buy something for your parents. What do you think?" Henry Armstrong asked. Georgie Clementine pointed at the intersection ahead. "Turn left and head straight after this. You'll see the mall then."

Henry chuckled. "Yes, ma'am."

Following her directions, they soon arrived at the largest mall in Sunlight City, the Weston Mall.

It was a common-looking building standing at only three-storey high, paling in comparison to the malls in Atlantis that had over ten storeys.

Henry looked at the state of it, unimpressed. "It is small."

He was unfamiliar with the brands displayed on the billboards outside the mall.

There weren't any international brands he was used to seeing.

"Of course, this is not Atlantis," Georgie replied.

"Well, since we're already here, let's go in and have a look," he suggested, parking his car in front of the mall's entrance.

His elegant, luxurious car instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Henry was the first to get out of the car, his air of nobility and immaculate attire instantly winning over the girls who were paying attention to his luxurious car. "Ahh, that man is so handsome!"

"The car registration number starts with 'A'. Is he a wealthy man from Atlantis?"

"Isn't that a Ferrari? That is so cool! It is the first time I've seen a Ferrari in a small city like this."

The girls were muttering among themselves, unable to stop looking at Henry who didn't even spare them a single glance.

He strode directly over to Georgie's side and opened the car door, gently extending his hand to her.

"Let's go."

Smiling, she held his hand. "You're so popular," she said teasingly.

He shrugged helplessly before walking into the mall with his fiance. Suddenly, everyone's voices became even louder-

"That girl is very pretty, too!"

"I'm envious that she has such a handsome and rich boyfriend."

"They look so good together. They're a match made in heaven."

Georgie could hear what they were.

As they entered the mall, Henry stopped walking. "Do you know where the restroom is?"

She nodded, pointing in a specific direction. "Go that way, and turn right."

"Wait for me here, and I'll be back shortly," he told her.

Georgie immediately nodded.

As he walked away, she couldn't help but wander around on the first floor, not waiting for Henry at the same spot.

She found herself at a jewelry store where her attention was on a butterfly-shaped diamond ring behind the counter.

The butterfly was made with multiple two-carat diamonds, priced at one million.

It was the first time she saw such an expensive ring in a mall like this.

Captivated by the ring's design,

concentrating on her phone, but when she heard Georgie's voice, she immediately looked over at the ring in question.

After a second, she started speaking in an indifferent tone. "That ring costs one million."
