Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2222

The Batton family suggested having a full-scale rehearsal to ensure everything went smoothly during the wedding ceremony.

On the eve of the wedding, Sharon Lindt insisted that Stanley Batton stay over at a designated hotel so that he could officially receive the bride the next day.

Close relatives of the Batton family arrived early on the morning of the wedding day, each tasked with helping out Sharon.

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest sat calmly in front of the dressing table in her bedroom, being fussed over by the best female makeup artist in the country.

Her hair was styled in a simple chignon that showed her clear forehead, emphasizing her distinct facial features.

At the moment, she had her eyes closed as the makeup artist worked on her bridal makeup, which took an hour to complete.

After some finishing touches, her eyes slowly opened, catching her reflection in the mirror in front of her.

She looked stunningly beautiful.

She wore seemingly elegant nude makeup, but there were tiny details that involved a lot of thought that made her natural beauty even more evident.

"Are you happy with it?" the pretty makeup artist enquired with a smile.

"Yeah," she beamed with a nod.

Then, the makeup artist opened a velvet, gold-plated jewelry box containing a set of jewelry that Sharon had sent over the day before. She'd specifically asked Xyla to wear them for the wedding.

The necklace was a gorgeous set with many two-carat diamonds, and each of those diamonds had tiny diamonds engraved around it.

The pendant itself was a tear-shaped diamond the size of a pigeon egg with numerous tiny diamonds surrounding it as well.

The earrings had a similar design, but the diamonds were five carats, making them worth much more than the pendant.

The set also came with a bracelet with the same design as the necklace and with diamonds of similar sizes.

Under the lights, they glistened brightly and elegantly.

The makeup artist couldn't help but gasp in surprise. "Woah! Isn't this the set of jewelry that belonged to an ancient European princess? It was purchased by an anonymous person at a jewelry auction in Country F not too long ago.

"I think the winning bid went up to three billion. Everyone was wondering which wealthy person successfully bid on it, but I didn't expect it to be your family," she added.

Xyla seemed surprised to hear this. "Really? I didn't know."

"Yeah, I saw it on the news after the exclusive jewelry set was sold. There was a picture then, and it looked identical to yours.

"I wouldn't be mistaken by something so eye-catching, Ms. Quest. The Batton family treats you well," the makeup artist said.

As a woman, she felt so envious.

Xyla's life was the dream of many women.

"Yeah, they do," Xyla chuckled,

knowing that her mother-in-law had

expensive taste in jewelry. Shejust

didn't realize this particular one had such a hefty price tag.

She had guessed it would have probably cost over a billion dollars, but not up to three billion.

She also didn't expect the jewelry set would have such historical value.

The makeup artist excitedly put on the necklace, bracelet, and earrings for her, transforming Xyla into looking particularly glamorous and noble on her wedding day.
