Chapter 1222
After quickly turning on the faucet, Mary Sullivan briefly cleaned herself up. After that, she fished around in her purse to look for something that could cover her face. However, she couldn't find anything.
In the end, she helplessly braced herself and walked out of the private room with her head down.
On her way out, she walked past many people.
Everyone who walked past her couldn't resist glancing at her a few more times.
By the time she arrived on the first floor, she had become the center of attention in the entire lobby.
"Why is that woman covered in bruises? Could it be a case of domestic violence?"
"Look at her. She's all swollen up like a pig..."
"Hang on... Isn't that Mary Sullivan?"
"It really does look like Mary Sullivan. Did she offend someone? She's doing this all the time. Honestly, she brings shame to the Sullivan family!"
Every word and sentence that Mary heard made her feel embarrassed.
At this moment, she felt as if her pride was being trampled all over on the ground.
This was all Xyla Quest's fault.
If Xyla, this b*tch, didn't exist in the world, there wouldn't be so many bad things happening.
Everyone around her stared at her.
Mary honestly couldn't take it anymore. She instantly looked down and ran off...
When Xyla's red Maserati arrived in front of Wishing Star Cafe, Xyla happened to see Mary running out of the cafe in a horrendous state.
When Xyla saw this, she could already guess what had happened earlier.
In the next second, Xyla smiled satisfactorily.
She bet that Linda Jerome must have brought some people over to beat Mary up...
Xyla didn't feel at all sorry for what happened to Mary.
After all, Mary was asking for all of this.
If she had known this would happen, why did she do those things back then?
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing again.
When Xyla saw that the call was from Georgie Clementine, she instantly picked up-
"I saw someone posting a picture of Mary in my friends' group...
"It's a picture of Mary's face all swollen up...
"I bet Linda must have taught her a lesson... It feels so relieving...
"I bet this is going on the list of hot topics if it gets out of hand.
"When the time comes, Mary will be taught another lesson by her parents..." Georgie said in a relaxed yet joyful tone.
When Xyla heard this, she instantly smiled a little. "Yeah, I saw it... Anything goes... Whatever happens to her, she deserves it."
***
After arriving at Quest Group, Xyla took her private elevator to her office.
As soon as she walked through the door, she saw a new message on her phone screen...
This was a Weibo article Weibo News had just published. "Princess Mary Sullivan from the Sullivan family runs out of a cafe with a swollen face. What exactly happened?"
Xyla had already expected the news page to pick up on this.
Not feeling very surprised, Xyla barely had any emotions in her eyes.
Gently, she tapped on the Weibo post. After that, she saw an image underneath the Weibo post.
In the image, Mary's nose and face were all swollen up just as Xyla had seen. It was extremely horrendous, and it looked almost as if Mary was a dog that its family had abandoned. Meanwhile, in less than ten minutes after this Weibo post was published, the number of shares, likes, and comments had exceeded 500,000.
Chapter 1223
Chapter 1223
Right after that, a large number of comments came into Xyla Quest's sight-
"At first, when I saw somebody's face all swollen up like that in a picture, I still felt sorry for that person. But after seeing that the person is Mary Sullivan? Never mind..."
"What else could have happened? I remember that this woman always gets herself into trouble. She's an old witch. She must have asked for it."
"I would still be a little curious if other people were beaten up, but if it's Mary, I won't even need to guess to know that it must've been her fault."
"Although it's very mean to say this, I still want to tell the person who beat Mary up that you did a good job."
"Tsk, tsk... She really brings a lot of shame to the Sullivan family... What did she do this time?"
Back when Mary Sullivan did many bad things, she often made it onto the list of hot topics.
Her reputation wasn't good, to begin with...
Hence, now, Xyla didn't feel at all surprised by everyone's comments.
Xyla thought that the Sullivan family would soon see all this too.
Tony Sullivan would definitely look for Mary to understand the situation.
With Tony's personality, he would get to the bottom of things.
If Mary told the truth, she'd really be dead...
Even if Mary didn't tell the truth, Tony would go to Linda Jerome to verify it...
Anyway, Mary was bound to die.
After coldly looking through the comments, Xyla tossed her phone aside and started sorting out her piled-up work...
Soon, she forgot all about Mary's stuff.
***
On the other hand, Mary, with her nose and face all swollen up, went to a small clinic to treat her wounds. After that, she got into her luxury car.
As soon as she got in, she saw the news about herself on her phone.
Suddenly, she felt as if she would explode.
Mary knew that she was done for this time!
At first, she was still feeling lucky. Thinking that she managed to run away very quickly, nobody should've been able to take pictures of her, and things wouldn't get blown out of proportion. However, from how things appeared now, she was genuinely mistaken...
At first, she thought that if this were all kept under control, she would quickly look for a hotel to stay in. She'd nurse herself back to health before returning home.
In this way, nobody would realize what had happened.
However, from the looks of things, her bubble of hopes had burst!
Mary needed to go home. Even if she didn't, her father would use every method possible to find her and bring her home...
When the time came, her father would surely ask her about the cause. Not only would he ask her, but he would also ask Linda Jerome.
If her father found out about everything, Mary would be dead for sure...
That was because her father had warned her before not to mess with Xyla Quest again. If she messed with Xyla again, she'd be dead for sure...
At this moment, Mary suddenly felt a prickle in her scalp.
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, her phone started to ring.
The word 'Daddy' appeared on her phone screen. It was as if a bomb had gone off before her very eyes!
At that moment, Mary suddenly felt as if her phone was so hot that it burned her hands.
After hesitating for a long while, she finally picked up the call. "Dad... Why are you calling?" she asked carefully.
"You piece of sh*t! Get home right now! Linda Jerome is now in our house..." Tony Sullivan yelled.
When Mary heard this, she was thoroughly dumbfounded. Why was Linda now in her house?
Before Mary could speak, Tony started talking again. "If you dare run off, I'll break your legs! Get back here in half an hour." Tony suddenly raised his voice. Mary was so terrified that she instantly shuddered.
Chapter 1224
Chapter 1224
After sucking in a breath of cold air, Mary Sullivan quickly hung up the phone. Nervously, she turned on the car engine. After that, she grabbed the steering wheel with her trembling hands.
She then stepped on the gas pedal and drove quickly away from the clinic in her black Porsche Cayenne.
At this moment, Mary's heart was already up to her throat...
She knew that she was going to be in deep trouble.
Mary wanted to run and hide, but she knew she couldn't.
She could avoid the trouble for a while, but she couldn't avoid it forever.
If she tried to hide, her father would undoubtedly be even more furious.
When he eventually found her, he'd make her suffer even more.
Mary knew her father very well. His rage wouldn't subside just because she hid away for some time.
Approximately half an hour later, Mary made it back to the Sullivan family's house.
The bruises on her face and body looked even worse than before.
Her entire body looked even more like a pig now.
In fact, she looked like a colorful pig.
By then, the atmosphere in the Sullivan family's living room was tense and cold.
Tony Sullivan, Tom Sullivan, Julian Sullivan, Bailey Ronson, Linda Jerome, and Linda's father, Hector Jerome, sat around the coffee table in a circle. Everyone had a serious expression on their faces.
When Bailey saw the state Mary was in, she immediately felt her heart aching...
After that, Bailey quickly walked over to Mary and held her hand tightly. "My child... Does it hurt?" she asked with a look of concern in her eyes. Mary nodded.
After that, she carefully looked over at Tony.
Tony sat on a single couch at one end of the coffee table.
At this moment, he was staring coldly at Mary's face with a murderous gaze. He completely ignored her injuries.
If looks could kill, Mary felt that she would've probably died ten thousand times over.
Tom and Julian both seemed concerned when they saw Mary like this...
Meanwhile, Hector and Linda both had cold expressions on their faces.
Linda was even smiling coldly.
"Why aren't you moving your as*es over here? Bailey, you'd better keep your mouth shut!" Tony yelled angrily. He sounded dominant and irrefutable.
When Bailey and Mary heard him, they shuddered at the same time.
Meanwhile, Mary felt as if her heart would soon leap out of her throat.
Mary subconsciously clutched Bailey's hand tightly. "Mom... Save me..." She begged softly.
Bailey seemed helpless. "I'll try my best... But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to save you this time," Bailey said softly.
After that, Bailey let go of Mary and returned to her seat by Linda's side.
At this moment, Mary felt as if her legs had been injected with lead. Even taking a single step felt heavy now.
After taking a deep breath, Mary slowly walked over to Tony one step at a time. "Dad, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done bad things to embarrass you," she said carefully. Before Mary could finish speaking, Tony picked up the teacup on the table and splashed the warm water in the teacup at her face.
"Ahh..." Mary subconsciously exclaimed.
At that moment, not only did the warm tea splashed against her pig-like head, but it also splashed against her severely wounded body.
Chapter 1225
Chapter 1225
It hurt Mary Sullivan's ego even more.
Despite how Linda Jerome was Mary's enemy, Mary's father was teaching her a lesson in front of her enemy.
Mary felt thoroughly humiliated, and she was also outraged.
However, she could only keep her mouth shut. She didn't dare to speak a word.
"You b*stard! Didn't I warn you not to cause any trouble, especially not Xyla Quest... Hmm?
"Now, not only did you mess with Xyla, but you even messed with Linda. Have you gone mad?" Tony Sullivan started yelling coldly again.
Julian Sullivan, who had remained silent all the while, couldn't help but speak up. "Dad... I think Mary already knows that she's wrong. Please forgive her."
Tom also started speaking. "Yeah... Dad, please forgive her."
After the two Sullivan brothers finished speaking, they looked at each other before shaking their heads helplessly.
Mary didn't only give Tony a headache, but they also gave the two of them headaches too.
When Mary heard this, she instantly looked at Julian and Tom with a grateful expression in her eyes...
However, she still didn't dare to say anything.
"Forgive her? Does she deserve it? If I don't teach her a lesson today, what will I say to Linda?
"Also... What must I do to make her remember not to mess with Xyla again?" Tony started yelling again.
"Mary, why haven't you apologized to the Jerome family yet?" he added.
Mary knew that what she did was unreasonable.
She also knew that she'd be even worse off if she didn't obey Tony's command.
Hence, Mary looked down at the ground. "Linda... Uncle Jerome, I'm truly sorry. I was wrong..."
However, Tony didn't want to forgive her so easily.
He knew that if he didn't teach Mary a proper lesson, she'd get into huge trouble sooner or later.
Hence, Tony must give her a firm reminder today.
Meanwhile, pain was undoubtedly the best way to make someone remember stuff...
Tony instantly looked at the maid, who was shivering nearby. "Get the bodyguards to drag her out and whip her thirty times," he commanded coldly. As soon as Mary heard this, she instantly kneeled and pressed her palms together. "Dad... I won't dare to do it again. I really won't," she begged.
Her body was already badly bruised all over.
Would she be able to survive another thirty whips?
When Bailey saw this, she couldn't care about anything else and rushed over to Mary.
After that, she pulled Mary behind her protectively as she looked nervously at Tony. "Honey... Don't do it... If you whip Mary thirty times, isn't she surely going to die? With the state she's in now, she really will die if she gets hit again.
"Not only did you not say anything to console her after she'd been beaten up by someone else, but you're even going to continue whipping her. Do you think that's the right thing to do?" Bailey added. However, Hector Jerome and Linda Jerome did not say anything. They continued to drink their coffee like bystanders.
To them, the more merciless Tony treated Mary, the better it was.
Soon, the maid brought three bodyguards in suits into the house...
The bodyguards quickly walked up to Mary and Bailey.
However, Bailey kneeled halfway onto the floor and hugged Mary, who was kneeling. "Honey... Don't do it... Do you really want to see her dead?" She looked at Tony and asked.
At this moment, Bailey's heart was aching terribly...
She refused to let someone else do this to her daughter.
'Absolutely not!' she thought.
When Tom saw this, he also quickly walked up to Mary and stood in front of her. "Dad, don't do it..." He pleaded.
Meanwhile, Julian also quickly wheeled his way next to Tom. "Dad... Honestly, don't do this. Mary has already suffered enough..." He said.
Chapter 1226
Chapter 1226
"Ignore them. Drag her out and beat her up!" Tony Sullivan looked at the bodyguards coldly. His facial expression didn't seem to relax at all.
When Bailey Ronson heard this, she immediately hugged Mary Sullivan tightly and started crying profusely. "No, honey, honestly... I'm begging you." Tony was in a fit of rage right now. It didn't matter who was begging him for mercy...
He already had feelings of resentment toward Bailey. As the Sullivan family's situation worsened, the irritation in his heart grew.
Although Bailey previously caused a massive mess by offending Stanley Batton, Tony chose to forgive her. However, he never really let go of the matter.
Precisely because of this, Tony didn't feel anything at all when Bailey cried.
Soon three bodyguards walked up to Mary and Bailey to try to separate the two of them. They brought Mary outside.
Julian Sullivan was disabled, and he was helpless to stop the bodyguards.
Meanwhile, it was difficult for Tom Sullivan to stop three bodyguards on his own...
Soon, Tom was pushed to the ground. Mary and Bailey were forcefully separated.
Mary was dragged outside by the three men.
Bailey immediately cast all her doubts aside and ran after them to try and stop them.
However, as soon as she ran up to the door, the bodyguards shut the door behind them...
Bailey frowned coldly and tried to open the door...
However, she heard a clicking sound that indicated the door was locked.
Right after that, she could no longer push the door.
Bailey knew that the bodyguards must have locked the door from the outside!
After a second had passed, a whipping sound could be heard.
Mary started crying for her life.
"Ahh... Help... No... Ahh... It hurts so much..."
Outside, Mary's legs were forcefully pinned to the ground by two bodyguards.
Meanwhile, the other remaining bodyguards repeatedly whipped her back mercilessly.
Through the door viewer, Bailey could see everything clearly.
Although the whip landed on Mary's body, Bailey felt as if each whip landed on her heart instead.
Each time Mary was whipped, Bailey's heart would ache immensely.
When the two members of the Jerome family saw this, they looked at each other satisfactorily. After that, they smiled in unison.
While the Sullivan family suffered from a bloody affair, Xyla Quest was in a peaceful state in Quest Group's presidential office.
After that, Xyla and Sharon Lindt held each other's hand affectionately as they wandered around in a large-scale jewelry exhibition on the third floor of the city's exhibition center. The two of them were both wearing elaborate traditional dresses made of genuine silk.
Xyla wore a short, tight-fitting, light purple dress. She looked noble and fairy-like, and she seemed awfully beautiful.
Meanwhile, Sharon wore a long, tight-fitting, light-blue dress with a tall parting on the side. She looked extremely elegant when she walked.
Right then, a calming piano piece was playing in the low-key, luxurious space.
Glass cabinets that contained various pieces of jewelry were scattered in every corner of the exhibition hall.
Under the glamorous lightning, the colorful pieces of jewelry all shone elegantly, and they all seemed stunning.
These jewelry were limited-edition designs by famous designers all over the world.
Apart from this place, people couldn't see it anywhere else.
Countless men and women from the upper-class were gathered here.
Chapter 1227
Chapter 1227
Everyone was browsing leisurely through the jewelry exhibition.
Despite how shiny the jewelry and everyone was dressed up, none of them could compare to a fraction of Xyla Quest and Sharon Lindt's brightness.
The two of them were like shimmering beads. Wherever they went, light encapsulated them and made every object and person around them seem dim in comparison. They were both stunned by the jewelry that came into sight.
Sharon, especially, was as happy as a child.
She kept tugging Xyla along to look at everything around them. She wasn't tired at all.
Soon, a standalone glass cabinet attracted Sharon's attention.
There was a snake-shaped necklace in the cabinet.
The necklace was engraved with plentiful diamonds. It looked unique as it rotated around a plastic mannequin's neck.
"This design looks so special..." Sharon's eyes were glimmering as she looked at the necklace and complimented. Her eyes kept glowing.
Xyla nodded. She thought it was alright.
After that, Xyla's gaze landed upon the designer's nameplate in the lower right corner.
'Helen' was written on it...
Xyla was very familiar with this designer. She was an internationally renowned jewelry designer...
Helen had worked in the jewelry industry for fifty years.
Her name as the designer brand used to sell like hot cakes in foreign countries.
However, in recent years, with new designers joining the industry and the rise of other designer brands, Helen's designs no longer sold.
That was because her style never changed much over the years. The things she designed were somewhat the same...
Hence, what happened now was inevitable.
It was just like the snake-shaped necklace before their eyes.
Xyla remembered that Helen designed something similar in the past, and it wasn't significantly different from this necklace.
"What's the matter, Xyla... Don't you think it looks good?" Sharon looked at Xyla and asked.
Xyla shook her head. "It's not that it doesn't look good, but I just... Hmm... This designer hasn't had any breakthroughs this year either. Those who manage to get a spot in this exhibition would naturally present the work they're most happy with for the season.
"But based on what I know, Helen seemed to have designed something similar the year before... The only difference between that necklace and this one is that the other necklace's snake was slightly thicker than this one. The diamond used for the previous one was also a little better than this..." Xyla said blandly.
After hearing this, Sharon immediately nodded. "You're right... Now that you mention it, I remember. Indeed, I've seen something like this before. In fact, I might have even bought it...
"Look at me... I actually forgot all about it," Sharon added.
Sharon honestly owned too much jewelry. Hence, she frequently forgot about the ones she'd bought.
Xyla chuckled. "You have way too much jewelry. It's normal to forget. Anyway, If I were her, I wouldn't participate in an exhibition with stuff like this. Even if I can't produce anything new, and I must use the snake element, I'd change the way it's presented..." Xyla said.
"Miss... You sound rather knowledgeable in jewelry design." Right then, Xyla heard someone speaking in Country Z's language, but the person didn't sound fluent.
Xyla immediately looked over...
She saw an old Caucasian woman with short, curly, white hair and thick makeup who wore a classic, black Chanel dress as well as Dior's black espadrille heels. Xyla recognized this woman.
It was Helen herself...
After judging someone else's work and being heard by that person right in front of her, Xyla suddenly felt a little awkward.
Although she felt awkward on the inside, she still maintained her elegant and poise appearance. "I was just casually commenting," Xyla said.
Chapter 1228
Chapter 1228
However, Helen smiled unpleasantly. "You said that if you were the designer, you'd change the style of design. From the tone of your voice, you seemed to be... Quite knowledgeable about designing, aren't you?
"If it were you, what are you prepared to exhibit with? Why don't you draw something for me and show me what's good?" Helen added.
Helen was very dissatisfied with Xyla Quest's judgment.
From her perspective, an amateur didn't deserve to point out the flaws of her work as a professional jewelry designer.
Helen knew Xyla, and she knew Xyla was the wife of Dragon Group's president.
Helen even knew that Xyla was the only daughter in the Quest family. Xyla's capabilities exceeded her peers.
However, Helen also knew that Xyla didn't have any accomplishments in the field of jewelry design. Xyla also didn't have any sources to prove that she was skilled in jewelry design.
Hence, when being judged by an outsider like Xyla, Helen truly felt unhappy.
Although Helen was running out of ideas, an outsider was in no place to criticize her. Hence, she wanted to challenge Xyla.
Xyla laughed. She knew what Helen thought because she'd heard about Helen's temperament before.
This person only accepted compliments, but not criticism. Everyone who criticized her would be perceived as an enemy.
Even if someone's criticism was correct, it was still unacceptable.
To be honest, Helen hadn't been able to have any breakthroughs after all these years primarily because she wasn't humble enough to accept constructive criticism from other people. Now, Helen was practically repeating her mistake. That was why she wanted to challenge Xyla like this.
'Since you can't show me anything good, don't judge me here. An amateur like you doesn't have the right to criticize a professional like me.' This was Helen's hint to Xyla.
Xyla instantly felt repelled by Helen's mentality.
In Xyla's eyes, a good designer shouldn't behave like this.
A designer should be humble and know how to accept others' opinions instead of being reluctant to receive accurate feedback.
Although Xyla was speaking straightforwardly, she didn't say it to Helen's face.
Helen didn't have to be so sensitive about it.
Although Xyla was feeling dissatisfied on the inside, she didn't show it.
Instead, Xyla laughed. "I have no right to show off my design in front of a professional like you... If I made you upset with my comments earlier, I apologize."
However, Helen laughed. She didn't want to let Xyla off the hook at all. "I think your comment was very professional... Hence, I hope Ms. Quest can draw something up and teach me a thing or two." After saying that, Helen took out a black drawing pad from her black Hermes purse before shoving it into Xyla's arms...
"I believe you think you're better than me... So, draw something and prove it..." Helen added.
Sharon Lindt could also tell that this person wasn't going to give up. "She was just casually commenting. Besides, it's the truth. You don't have to be this stubborn, do you? Can't people comment even if they don't know how to draw or aren't skilled in jewelry design?" she instantly said.
'Of course, why should amateurs criticize my work?' Helen thought in her heart.
Although she was thinking this way, she still smiled and spoke fakely. "No... I only think that this lady is humble. That's why I want to see... I'm trying to learn something here..."
Sharon snorted coldly. "I know you're not... Stop acting," she said.
"I really do want to learn," Helen said.
Right then, many people came over and surrounded them.
Helen then turned to look at everyone and laughed as she spoke. "This young lady here says that I, Helen, can't design well... Meanwhile, she seems to be able to draw better designs than I can. Let's wait and see, everyone..."
When other people heard this, they couldn't help but start laughing softly.
How would Xyla not know that Helen was proclaiming this just because she wanted to embarrass Xyla once she failed to draw something?
This was all just revenge against Xyla for criticizing Helen's work.
However, Xyla didn't say anything. Instead, she silently accepted the drawing pad. After that, she picked up the black pen attached to the drawing pad.
Chapter 1229
Chapter 1229
After that, Xyla Quest looked down and prepared to draw.
Although she wanted to keep a low profile at first, she suddenly wanted to teach Helen a lesson.
However, Xyla didn't say a single word. Instead, she chuckled nonchalantly.
Soon, people began whispering amongst themselves in the crowd-
"I've never heard about Xyla being involved in the field of jewelry design... It feels like she's an amateur. Why would she risk embarrassing herself in front of Helen?" "Does this mean she thinks she can draw better than Helen? How is that possible?"
"If I were her, I wouldn't dare to draw these things in front of Helen. Helen is a god-like designer who has been designing jewelry for a few decades."
"To design necklaces with the snake element in a unique way, this style must naturally be used. Could Xyla be able to design something special?"
Xyla heard everything that the people said.
Although these were annoying to hear, she didn't care...
When Sharon Lindt heard these things, she instantly frowned a little.
However, she didn't look down at Xyla like the others...
From her perspective, Xyla had always been successful in whatever she did.
Since her dear daughter-in-law was now willing to draw something up, that meant she knew how to do it.
Hence, Sharon didn't think Xyla would embarrass herself.
When Helen heard what everyone was saying, she instantly smiled coldly. She seemed smug.....
She didn't even look at Xyla. Instead, she continued to stare at her work and admire it.
Helen felt very sure in her heart that the way she designed the necklace with the snake element was the perfect one.
There definitely couldn't be a better way...
Helen also believed that Xyla was bound to humiliate herself...
Anyone who dared to say bad things about her behind her back was bound to be humiliated! It didn't matter who this person was!
Soon, Xyla drew a woman's thin neck and her sexy collarbones on a piece of draft paper.
After drawing that, Xyla started to create her design.
She was able to quickly draw a snake around the woman's neck on the draft paper.....
Meanwhile, this snake was different from the one Helen designed.
This snake's tail was in the center below the two collar bones. Its head was facing the back while one-third of its body dangled in front of the woman's neck. Xyla then drew a thin chain on the space...
The chain was so thin that it was barely visible.
From one glance, the most striking object was the snake that half dangled around the woman's neck...
Meanwhile, Xyla's snake was much thinner than Helen's.
From a visual viewpoint, the design of the snake dangling around the neck also seemed more comfortable and unique than Helen's design...
As Xyla's drawing slowly took form, many people around her started to inch closer to her.
Moreover, they shifted their gazes to her design.
Everyone who saw the design changed from deprecation and mockery to a look of shock and admiration.
When Helen saw this, she didn't walk close to Xyla to look at the drawing.
Chapter 1230
Chapter 1230
Helen simply continued to cross her arms in front of her chest while admiring her design. She was looking for good things about her design.
From her perspective, everyone was just over-reacting.
'What's wrong with these people? Haven't they seen a good design before?' Helen couldn't help but think.
How could a girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth like Xyla Quest know anything about jewelry design?
What good design could she possibly draw?
If she knew about designing and could draw something decent, someone as famous as her would have long started her jewelry brand and entered the jewelry design industry, wouldn't she? These people were simply exaggerating it.
"D*mn... She's excellent... I'm dumbfounded."
"I've just embarrassed myself. Why does Ms. Quest know everything? She managed to draw something good."
"That's right... I'm feeling dizzy. This is significantly better than Helen's design. She's a hidden talent!"
Everyone standing around to observe the commotion began discussing amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt was so shocked by Xyla's design that she couldn't even speak.
Wasn't her daughter-in-law way too awesome?
Was there anything she didn't know how to do?
Meanwhile, Helen still seemed unbothered by what she saw.
Right then, an old Caucasian woman with short, white hair walked up to Xyla from behind in a low-key manner.
When she saw Xyla's design, she instantly smiled in a pleased manner...
When Helen saw that old woman, she was shocked...
She instantly felt that something wasn't right, and she walked over to Xyla and looked at the design...
Right then, Xyla was still looking down, completing the minor details on the snake's body. Hence, she didn't notice that Helen had come over. When Helen saw Xyla's design, she was utterly stunned speechless...
Her initially arrogant aura immediately vanished...
This design...
It was truly amazing....
It was significantly better than Helen's design.
Based on Xyla's design, Helen felt that this didn't look like something an amateur in design could draw...
Wasn't this way too professional?
Moreover, why did she feel that Xyla's design was even a little like the style of an internationally renowned jewelry designer by the name of Sunny? Wasn't their style way too similar?
At this moment, Helen truly felt embarrassed for herself!
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have set herself up for it.
Soon, Xyla perfected her design.
She then placed the design in Helen's hands.
Xyla didn't say anything. Instead, she continued to smile nonchalantly.
Calmly, Xyla looked around at the people around them. After that, she shifted her gaze back to Helen's face.
Her gaze did not falter even for a moment.
This kind of admiration didn't at all move her.
Meanwhile, Sharon couldn't remain as calm as she was.
Sharon immediately clutched Xyla's arm tightly. "Tell me... Why are you so amazing?"
"I'll tell you later..." Xyla chuckled and said.
