Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 943

"Stan won't mind about it, right?" Sebastian Brenand grinned.

"I call the shots at home. No worries," Xyla Quest replied playfully.

Sebastian gave her a thumbs-up. "Cool. I respect you."

"Have you gotten over her yet? I notice that you're getting much better now." Xyla asked concernedly.

"Oh yeah, I'll have someone to send the contracts regarding your investment and your role as Elvenia to your office later." Sebastian changed the subject.

"Alright, sure." Xyla nodded lightly. "I'd better get going. I've disturbed you for too long."

Sebastian immediately got up from the couch. "Let's go. I'll walk you to the parking lot."

Xyla stole a glance at his desk full of files and papers. "It's okay. I guess you have more important things waiting for you to do."

Following that statement, she stalked out of the office and took the elevator to the first floor.

Her phone vibrated as soon as she got into the car.

Seeing Ron Batton's name on the screen, Xyla immediately answered the call, her soft lips subconsciously curving upward into a genuine smile. "Hey, Grandpa."

"Xyla, I heard that they're going to hold a grand jewelry exhibition at Kingstell, Country Y. Do you want to go there and have a look?" Ron asked.

"When is it?" Xyla asked excitedly when she heard Country Y.

"Two days later. Three o'clock in the afternoon," Ron answered.

"Sure." Xyla wanted to give Stanley Batton a surprise there.

"Stan went to Country Y, right? You must be really lonely at home. Why don't you come to our place for dinner tonight? I'll ask your mother-in-law to make some dumplings for you," Ron suggested. "Okay, sure," Xyla agreed without hesitation.

Two days later.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xyla went to the airport under her bodyguards' watchful eyes and boarded the Batton family's private plane.

She had dressed up especially for Stanley today.

She had chosen a pair of white ballerina flats to match her canary-yellow plaid halter dress.

Her makeup was light yet delicate. Her long wavy hair was styled into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth and shiny forehead.

She was just like a young, adorable high school girl.

The plane landed at Kingstell, Country Y, at one o'clock sharp.

The Batton family had sent a driver and several bodyguards to pick her up at the airport and take her to Kingstell International Exhibition Hall, where the jewelry exhibition was held.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when she reached there.

Xyla quickly fixed her makeup before getting out of the car. She then pulled out her ticket and entered the exhibition hall.

The jewelry exhibition was on the third floor.

Without further ado, she went to the third floor under the escort of the bodyguards, after which she showed the employees there the ticket again to get into the hall.

The third floor was enormous. It was about thousands of square meters.

The huge hall was full of moneybags and noblemen. The security measures were tight.

There were various kinds of jewelry there. Though they were all protected in a thick glass cover, they still shimmered brightly and blindingly in the lights.

Xyla began studying the jewelry with great interest as soon as she got into the hall.

Besides the classy jewelry from some famous brands, there were also many exquisite jewelries designed by some niche designers.

Every design was breathtaking.

"Help!!! Is there a doctor here?!!!"

Xyla enjoyed herself when a woman shouted suddenly, diverting her attention from the jewelry.

Xyla immediately looked in the direction of the scream.
