Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 380

As Xyla Quest was sitting with the vice president's wife, she was the most prominent person in the room.

The crowd's attention would always fall on them from time to time.

Since the auction had not started yet, those who were the upper echelons of the society tend to come over to greet Rebecca Robin by turns.

In addition to responding to their greetings politely, Rebecca would also introduce Xyla to them.

Some of these people were even the prestigious blue bloods among the rich and bigwigs.

All of them were courteous to Xyla because of Rebecca's presence as well as her own beauty.

There were even some dignitaries who took the initiative to ask for Xyla's WeChat.

As a result, Xyla Quest could be said to be the illustrious and most celebrated in the crowd at the moment.

There was not a single lady in the room who did not envy her, including Mary Sullivan.

Mary was going to fly off the handle when she looked at how complacent Xyla was.

Why was Xyla so lucky? She was lucky enough to be able to know the vice president's wife. Moreover, she could even get in touch with the rich and powerful without wasting any effort. On the contrary, she, Mary Sullivan, had been jinxed the whole night long!

Among those blue bloods that the vice president's wife had introduced to Xyla, many of them were the ones she wanted to get to know.

The more she looked at the scenery over Xyla's table, the more she trembled with jealousy. This was so unfair! The world was super unfair!

Meanwhile, Xyla inadvertently stole a glance at Mary and she happened to see her shaking in anger on her seat. She was over the moon with that scene.

She did not care about this person at all. Her gaze left Mary without a trace before falling back on those dignitaries around her.

Many of these people were beneficial to X entertainment as well as to Quest Property Group. Therefore, she had to be careful with them and tried not to offend them.

About ten minutes later, the auction began.

Only then did the people around their table leave one after another.

Xyla sat down at ease, and together with Rebecca, they focused their attention on the auction stage below.

The beautiful auctioneer dressed in cheongsam made a long opening speech before she got straight to the main objective of the day.

Subsequently, one valuable antique after another appeared on the stage under the auctioneer's introduction.

Every single antique there was able to catch the attention of the crowd in the room and they began to bid feverishly...

Rebecca, who was sitting beside Xyla, was very interested in every single item and joined the bidding too. Fortunately, she managed to win a lot of them. However, Xyla was not very interested in them. She just watched and listened attentively, like a white peony stood in the depths of a high mountain.

Although she was extremely quiet, the eyes of the men from upstairs and downstairs still drifted to her seat from time to time.

Besides the antiques, Xyla was undoubtedly the most attractive thing in the room that was able to catch the men's eyes.

After a genuine painting by Tang Bohu was being sold, two bodyguards in suits pushed a Silver Censer with Openwork Design of Grapes and Flying Birds onto the stage.

The silver censer was placed in a clean, sealed glass cabinet just like the other antiques.

It was round and had an openwork design. Patterns of twining vines, birds and grapes were carved on the outside of the censer.

The silver censer was gleaming bright under the spotlights, stealing everyone's attention.

Xyla was attracted and drawn to the silver censer. A strong possessive feeling rose up within her.
