Chapter 1231

Sharon Lindt nodded repeatedly.

"Why does Xyla's style of design look so much like the internationally renowned jewelry designer, Sunny's..."

"I think it does too. Sunny is amazing, and she's significantly more popular than Helen."

"Yeah, that person is also much more formidable than Helen. Not only is she formidable, but she's also mysterious. Nobody has ever seen Sunny's face until now."

"The most formidable thing about her is that she only works with a single brand each year for a single jewelry design. Every design of her jewelry is unique in the world."

"All the noble class women in the world admire Sunny countless times more than Helen..."

"Could Xyla be Sunny?"

"Why do I feel that their style is similar..."

Everyone began talking amongst themselves once again.

Although Xyla Quest heard what they said, she didn't show any emotion in her eyes. She was as quiet as if she was merely an observer.

However, Sharon couldn't stay this calm. She wouldn't have thought about this if the others hadn't mentioned it.

Yet, now that it was brought up, Sharon recalled that her daughter's design was very similar to Sunny's.

Sharon immediately grabbed Xyla's hand tightly. "Darling... Tell me, are you Sunny? I think your design is very much like hers too..."

Before Xyla could speak, Helen immediately started to talk. "How is that possible? Aren't there many people who design stuff like Sunny? Many of them even intentionally copy her style..." Although Helen also found their styles similar, she refused to believe that Xyla was Sunny.

It was Sunny! The only Sunny in the world!

How could there be such a coincidence?

However, right then, the old Caucasian lady behind Xyla grabbed Xyla's hand excitedly. "Sunny... It really is you..."

At that moment, Helen was totally stunned...

She felt as if her face was being slapped again.

If this old woman said Xyla was Sunny, that meant Xyla really might be Sunny!

That was because this old woman wasn't an ordinary person!

Xyla chuckled as she looked at the old woman's excited face. "How did you arrive at this conclusion? I'm not..."

However, the old woman shook her head. "No... You are... I've studied your work for many years. I am very familiar with the way you draw... Your drawing habit is identical to Sunny... If you're not her, I'll change my surname to yours..."

Xyla laughed. "But I am not..."

"I don't think so either... I can't believe Xyla is that amazing. I doubt she can do everything so well..."

"I don't believe it either... It's Sunny we're talking about..."

"I don't believe it either..."

The people around them started whispering amongst themselves again.

However, the old woman laughed. "Kid, whether you are or not... I already know. Just admit it.”

After saying that, she excitedly held Xyla's hand. "I've seen your work for so many years, and I've liked them for just as long. I know you very well... Hence, there's no reason for you to hide behind your mask..."

Hearing this, Xyla helplessly chuckled...

At first, Xyla thought the woman might think she mistook Xyla for someone else if she insisted she wasn't Helen.

However, surprisingly, the woman was so adamant about her viewpoint.

Since Xyla couldn't keep it a secret any longer, she admitted to it...

"Now, if you do not deny it, does that mean you admit it?" The old woman laughed and asked.

"If I don't admit it, will you believe I'm not her?" Xyla asked.

"Of course, not..." The old woman replied.

Xyla instantly shrugged helplessly. "That's why... I can only admit it... However, how did you manage to see my drafts?"

Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232

Sharon Lindt was even more shocked now...

Her admiration toward Xyla Quest grew even deeper!

Sharon's daughter-in-law was actually Sunny!

The old woman chuckled. She reached her hand out to Xyla. "You must be Xyla Quest, right? I know you... Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tina..."

The moment Xyla heard this name, she was immediately shocked...

This person was actually her idol, Tina!

Twenty years ago, this god-like figure dominated the jewelry industry. Back then, all the major jewelry brands fought over her work.

This person only worked with a single brand each year to create a single design.

Meanwhile, each design would cause rich noblewomen across the world to fight over it.

However, Tina was like a rare flower that appeared once in a blue moon in the jewelry industry.

She stayed in the jewelry industry for a total of five years, and she only designed five items... Later, during the peak of her career, she chose to go into hiding.

Nobody knew why she did it.

Also, nobody ever saw what she looked like in person...

However, despite leaving the industry, Tina's name was always brought up.

She was the idol of many famous jewelry designers across the world.

Until now, many of her designs were still imitated by various major brands.

Now, many jewelry designs were extensions of her designs years ago.

Xyla liked Tina because she coincidentally saw Tina's work during a jewelry auction in her second year of high school. Back then, Xyla was stunned by how beautiful it was.

That was also the time she found out about Tina's name. After that, she returned home to find out more information about Tina. After doing that, Xyla became fond of this person.

That was because Xyla felt that this person was extremely cool.

Back then, Xyla wanted to become someone like Tina.

However, after Xyla grew up and mentioned she wanted to study jewelry designing, her father disagreed with her decision. Hence, her dream was crushed.

After arriving in Country Y, nobody could control her anymore. Hence, she picked up jewelry designing during her free time. Fortunately, she was innately talented. After learning for only three months, she achieved success.

Later, Xyla started submitting her designs to various major brands...

When she submitted her designs, she also requested only to produce a single item with her design.

Xyla did this also because of Tina's influence. She felt that this was cool.

In the end, various majors started fighting over design directly. From all those brands, Xyla chose Chanel.

After Chanel used her design to create jewelry, it shook the world...

Later, Xyla became the favorite among various luxury brands across the world. Everyone wanted her to become their jewelry brand's primary designer.

However, Xyla felt that becoming a primary designer involved too much work and wouldn't have her freedom. Hence, she chose not to work with any brand on fixed terms. Hence, Xyla learned from her idol, Tina, to choose one brand to work with each year based on her mood.

Meanwhile, Xyla never accepted any of the exclusive interviews the brands offered.

There were four reasons for this.

Firstly, Xyla wanted to keep a low profile like her idol, Tina...

Secondly, Xyla's looks hadn't recovered back then. She was too embarrassed to be seen by others.

Thirdly, Xyla wanted to focus on her recovery. She didn't want anybody in the country to find out anything about her.

Chapter 1233

Chapter 1233

Fourthly, Xyla Quest didn't like interviews. She didn't like the trouble.

After keeping a low profile for many years, it turned into a habit...

Xyla started designing jewelry because of Tina...

In the later stages, many of her habits were formed primarily because of Tina.

This person was a significant influence in Xyla's life as a designer.

Xyla had always been curious about how Tina looked in person.

In fact, Xyla's dream was to meet her idol once in this lifetime...

Now that Xyla was able to meet her idol, she was overjoyed...

At that moment, Xyla was stunned. She suddenly didn't know how to react.

She felt like a fan who had bumped into her favorite idol in person.

Tina chuckled. "What's the matter, child? Do you not know who I am?"

However, Xyla quickly shook her head. "No... I know who you are. You're my idol," she said.

Tina's eyes filled with joy. "Is that true?"

Xyla nodded enthusiastically. "Yes... I really like you. To be honest, I became interested in jewelry designing because of you..."

Tina laughed. "I see. I feel honored to hear that."

Xyla started laughing too. "Idol... I'm so happy that I get to see you in person..."

When everyone around them overheard the conversation, they were also stunned-

That was because many people also recognized Tina's name.

"Ms. Tina... How are you free to come here? Haven't you been in rehabilitation for your illness?" Helen looked at Tina and asked in English.

However, Tina chuckled and replied in Country Z's language, "I've been learning how to speak in Country Z's language as of late. Let's speak in Country Z's language... It'll help me improve..." Tina said. Helen immediately nodded.

"Don't bother to ask why I'm here... Now, shouldn't you apologize to Sunny?" Tina looked at Xyla and chuckled.

When Xyla heard this, she immediately felt warmth in her heart.

Xyla didn't expect her idol would stand up for her. Instantly, she admired her idol even more...

In front of Tina, Xyla was like a regular, young female fan.

Helen had also acknowledged Xyla's prowess by now...

Now that Tina said this, Helen immediately looked down humbly. "Yes... Sorry..."

Although Helen was famous, what was she in front of Sunny?

The others were right. She was indeed on a lower level compared to Sunny...

"It's fine. To be honest, I don't have any other intention. I only commented like that because I didn't know you were here..." Xyla said calmly.

Since Helen had admitted to her mistake, Xyla didn't need to hold a grudge against her.

"However... I want to tell you that you should be humble and accept other people's opinions regardless of how high a position you're in.

"Otherwise, you'll remain stagnant forever... Also, always remember that there's always someone better. Never look down on anyone," Xyla said.

Helen repeatedly nodded. "Alright... I know... I won't do it again," Helen said.

"Alright. Child, I know you still have questions for me... Let's go, we'll chat while we browse..." Tina looked at Xyla affectionately and said. Xyla instantly nodded.

After that, Xyla held Sharon Lindt's hand on one side and Tina's hand on the other side. She

then led the two forward...

Sharon still hadn't recovered from ecstasy. She followed Xyla forward in a robotic manner. drafts..." Xyla added.

Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234

"I'm good friends with the bosses of various luxury brands across the world. One of them gave it to me.

"Back when your first piece of work surfaced in the world, I already noticed it.

"I was immediately stunned, and I thought of you as my idol.

"That's why I approached Chanel's boss.

"I asked him for detailed information about the creator of that piece of work...

"However, he told me that he didn't have your detailed information either.

"Also, he said that he had nothing apart from your designs, bank account number, and email address.

"Hence, I asked for your designs as collectibles...

"Every year after that, I'd ask the brand you worked with to give me your designs so I could collect them and study them...

"Mainly, I wanted to study your brushwork and style... After that, I'd learn from you to improve on my stuff..." Tina said with a gentle smile. Her eyes filled with a sense of worship and admiration for Xyla Quest. When Xyla heard this, she was stunned. "How could I deserve to be your idol? I'm just an amateur in the field of jewelry design, but you're the legend in the industry. You're a true god-like figure..."

Xyla never would've expected that her idol treated her as an idol.

Being acknowledged by the person she admired since she was a kid felt magical.

When Xyla was a kid and grew fond of Tina, she never dared to hope that she'd one day be able to mingle with a god-like figure like her.

Moreover, Xyla never hoped that she would one day become this god-like figure's idol.

However, Xyla honestly felt that she didn't deserve to be Tina's idol.

Although Xyla was very influential in the jewelry design industry now, she was still far inferior to Tina.

Moreover, Xyla didn't think that her designs were better than Tina's.

However, Tina chuckled again. "Why wouldn't you deserve it? Your success today isn't in any way inferior to mine back in the day. Not only that but your... Your style of design is even better than mine... The things you design are even more high-class than mine."

These were all Tina's honest thoughts.

She admired Xyla's humility greatly.

However, Xyla suddenly shook her head. "I disagree with that. I think you're much better than I am... You were the one who inspired me..."

In Xyla's eyes, Tina was the top-tier, god-like figure in the field of jewelry design.

Moreover, nobody else had been able to surpass her ever since.

Each of Tina's designs happened to strike a chord with Xyla in terms of her beauty standards.

However, Tina shook her head. "No... You're better than me..."

"Honestly, I'm not. Idol, stop saying that," Xyla said.

"Alright, let's not blow each other's trumpet anymore..." Tina said.

"But I'm not doing that... What I said was all true," Xyla said.

"Alright, alright. Even if it's true, let's not get all tied up over this..." Tina said.

Xyla nodded.

Nearby, while listening to the two's conversation, Sharon Lindt's admiration toward Xyla skyrocketed once again.

Was her daughter-in-law an idol to this god-like figure, Tina?

Chapter 1235

Chapter 1235

Wasn't this way too amazing?

After looking at Sharon Lindt next to her, Xyla Quest then held Sharon's hand tightly before turning to look at Tina. "Oh, right. Idol, this is my mother-in-law... I forgot to introduce you two earlier..." Xyla said.

When Sharon heard this, she immediately extended her hand to Tina and smiled. "Nice to meet you... Tina... To be honest, I'm your fan... I really like your designs..."

Tina was Sharon's favorite designer.

Back then, Sharon even offered a hefty price during a jewelry auction to purchase Tina's work.

Sharon was always curious about how this designer looked.

She didn't think she'd be fortunate enough to meet this designer one day...

She was even able to have a conversation with this designer.

All this was thanks to her darling daughter-in-law.

Her daughter-in-law was practically the best blessing from god!

Tina immediately held Sharon's hand affectionately. "Nice to meet you... I've read about you on the list of hot topics... You're the best mother-in-law in Country Z."

When Sharon heard this, she immediately chuckled embarrassedly. After that, she calmly retrieved her hand. "Hehe, the netizens were too nice... To be honest, I think I treat Xyla just alright..."

"I think it's not just alright, but very wonderful... You deserved to be called the best mother-in-law in Country Z," Tina said.

"Thank you..." Sharon chuckled.

After officially introducing the two of them to each other, Xyla held their hands and continued to stroll forward leisurely...

Due to her meeting with her idol, Xyla felt that the jewelry she saw looked even better than before.

"Idol... I want to ask you something. Earlier, you said that you've been working on improving your craft... Does that mean... You're still working in the field of jewelry design?" Xyla asked. However, after thinking about it for a little, Xyla didn't think this was likely.

All these years, the works that appeared in the market didn't look like they originated from her idol.

However, Tina shook her head. "I'm not. I've already left the industry. Now, I design things for fun... I don't get involved in anything commercial...

"Now, I spend a lot of time drawing a single painting. After that, I'd spend an equal amount of time creating the object I've drawn...

"Once the object is produced... I'd keep it in a glass cabinet at home... The collectibles are for my admiration," Tina said.

When Xyla heard this, she became interested. "I wonder if you'd let me admire your designs throughout the years, given a chance?" Xyla wanted to know what her idol's works looked like all these years.

Tina snapped her fingers decisively. "Sure... I have some pictures here... I'll send them to you after browsing the jewelry showcase..." Hearing this, Xyla's heart instantly filled with joy. "Okay..."

Tina's smile gradually widened. "Can we become good friends from now on?" She looked at Xyla carefully and asked.

Talented people often cherished their peers...

Just like how she cherished Xyla.

Tina had been attracted to Xyla's designs a long time ago.

Back then, she already wanted to become good friends with Xyla.

Xyla instantly smiled in return. "Of course, we can... It's my honor to be your friend," Xyla said.

Tina continued to smile. "It's also my honor to be your friend. Child... You really are awesome. Keep going and never give up, got it?" Tina asked.

Xyla nodded gently. "Mm-hmm. I really enjoy doing this. Naturally, I won't give up."

Chapter 1236

Chapter 1236

Tina smiled happily. "Okay... As long as you persist in this industry, you'll become a legend," she said.

Xyla Quest shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't want a lot. I just hope to continue developing in this industry..."

"You have such a humble personality. You're also pretty and capable. It'd be difficult for you not to become a legend," Tina said.

Sharon Lindt didn't interrupt. Instead, she kept nodding in agreement with Tina's perspectives.

Tina knew the right things to say. She should write a book.

"You're too kind. Oh, right. How did you get to know Helen?" Xyla was also very curious about this.

"Because she admires me, she kept investigating me. After that, she managed to find my house through an unknown method. She wanted me to accept her as my student... But I refused," Tina said seriously. "I see... Could we have dinner together tonight?" Xyla asked.

"Of course, we must..." Tina said without hesitation.

"Hmm... Where would you like to eat? I'll take you there," Xyla said.

"I'm fine with anything as long as it's Country Z's traditional cuisine. I really love Country Z's cuisine. To be honest, I'm only here on vacation...

"But after coming here, I discovered there are far too many delicious dishes here... I suddenly don't feel like leaving anymore..." Tina added.

Hearing this, Xyla smiled in her usual manner. "Hmm... A lot of people feel the same way," Xyla said.

In Country Z, there were a hundred ways to cook the same ingredient.

Indeed, for foreigners who have a comparatively monotonous cooking method, this was a huge attraction.

"Does that mean you've become a permanent resident here?" Xyla asked.

"Yeah. I didn't plan on doing that before. But after coming here, I grew to like this place more and more. Hence, I decided to stay here for good. After that, I bought a house in my favorite place, Atlantis..." Tina said.

"Hmm, you won't regret staying here." When Xyla heard this person complimenting her country like this, she felt very proud.

"That's for sure..." Tina said.

"How about I take you to a place that specializes in spicy food? Can you eat spicy food?" Xyla asked.

"Yes... Certainly, I do," Tina said.

***

After the jewelry showcase ended, Xyla and Sharon brought Tina to a high-class restaurant in the city center specializing in spicy food.

The restaurant was designed in the country's national style...

Every single employee in the restaurant wore traditional outfits.

Stepping into the restaurant made one feel as if one had traveled back in time.

As soon as Tina walked in, she was stunned by what she saw.

Although Tina didn't say anything, she was shocked by the interior design of the restaurant.

Xyla and Sharon were both used to what came into sight. Hence, they didn't feel significantly moved.

Xyla had booked a private room in advance. As soon as they walked through the door, a pretty waitress in a white, traditional outfit led them into the private room.

After entering, Xyla and Sharon sat next together while Tina sat across from them.

The waitress took their orders before leaving directly.

Once the door was closed, Tina quickly searched for her jewelry folder in her phone's photo gallery. After that, she put her phone on the table and pushed it close to Xyla. "Didn't you want to see my designs? Here you go..."

When Xyla heard this, she excitedly picked up Tina's brand-new phone and started checking out her jewelry designs.

Seeing this, Sharon quickly moved closer to Xyla. Naturally, she held Xyla's arm and looked expectantly at the contents on the phone screen.

The first thing that came to sight was a necklace made up of a set of sapphire gems.

Chapter 1237

Chapter 1237

The necklace in the picture was hung on a black necklace display stand.

The chain was made of a very thin platinum clavicle chain.

A tassel pendant made of sapphire dangled below the chain...

In the lowest part of the tassel pendant, sapphire stars and a moon dangled.

Even with the low-profile appearance, there was luxury and freshness...

In the lower-right corner of the display stand was a white card with a series of English words written on it. In Country Z's language, it was translated as 'Romance of Stars and Moon'. Tina's signature was in the lower-right corner of Romance of Stars and Moon.

Xyla Quest and Sharon Lindt were instantly stunned by how beautiful this necklace was!

Xyla, especially... She was utterly shocked by Tina's design.

After that, Xyla quickly browsed through Tina's other designs.

Each of them gave her and Sharon a huge surprise. They were both very taken aback.

There were a total of twenty-five pictures in the album.

After going through the pictures, Xyla still couldn't take her eyes off them.

Sharon felt the same way.

Although Tina had left the industry a long time ago, her standards of design were still top-notch.

Not only that, but she improved even more than before.

After scrolling from the end to the top again, Xyla finally pushed the phone back to Tina reluctantly. "It's really awesome... Compared to you, there's still a long way for me to go..." Although Xyla thought she was already outstanding, she still felt that her designs were inferior to Tina's ones.

In fact, Xyla felt that Tina's admiration toward herself was due to an overestimation of Xyla's abilities.

However, Tina shook her head. "No, you have your unique qualities... I really think that you're better than me. To be honest, I'm only able to improve this fast because I looked at your works." However, Xyla shook her head again...

She honestly felt that Tina had held her in too high regard...

Tina knew what Xyla was feeling. Hence, she slowly put her phone into her black Hermes purse. "You are much better than me... Really, I see unlimited potential in you..."

Sharon looked at Xyla with admiration in her eyes. After that, she shifted her gaze to Tina's face. "You're both awesome... You're both terrific. However, Ms. Tina, Xyla... I wonder if I may be so bold as to ask if you would design a set of jewelry for me?" Sharon asked.

Tina and Sunny were both designers she liked.

Since this opportunity presented itself, Sharon naturally didn't want to let it go...

"Sure..." Tina and Xyla answered in unison.

"Oh, that's wonderful..." Sharon held Xyla's hand tightly and said joyfully.

After that, Sharon started telling the two of them about the elements she liked in her design.

She also had some minor requests.

As Xyla knew her mother-in-law very well, she listened briefly before opening Weibo to check out the list of hot topics. She wanted to read some gossip.

Meanwhile, Tina continued to pay attention to Sharon. In fact, she would occasionally smile and nod.

To Xyla's utter surprise...

Her name had appeared on the hot topics again.

Moreover, it was even first on the list. '#Xyla Quest is Sunny#'.

Chapter 1238

Chapter 1238

Xyla Quest instantly held her forehead helplessly and tapped on it to have a look...

Marketing accounts shared various screenshots.

In the screenshots, many people were using words to reenact the entire conflict between Xyla and Helen.

They also depicted how Tina later showed up and pointed out that Xyla was Sunny.

The entire comment section went wild.

Netizens once again started spamming-

"Xyla has way too many talents... She's practically the boss in everything!"

"No wonder Stanley likes her so much! Who wouldn't like a woman like her?"

"I'm too poor to go to a jewelry showcase like that, and I couldn't personally witness all of this. What a shame..."

"Although I couldn't witness that scene in person, I feel great just reading about it. Xyla is so cool!"

"I want to see how badly Helen was humiliated back then. Ahh! Sunny! It's Sunny!"

"Even the god-like figure in the jewelry industry, Tina, stepped forward to compliment Xyla. She even said she liked Xyla's work. Xyla, you're awesome! I'm so envious of you!" Meanwhile, in a pink-themed bedroom in the Sullivan family's house, Mary Sullivan, lying on the bed with her nose and face all swollen up, also read about Xyla in the hot topics on Weibo. When she saw the contents in the topic, she instantly felt as if she was slapped forcefully again.

Mary recalled how she flaunted the butterfly necklace that she claimed to be made by Sunny during May Conner's birthday party. She even boasted in front of Xyla and showed it off... Back then, Xyla must have thought she was an idiot, right?

The more Mary thought about this, the angrier she felt!

They were both human, but why was Xyla so excellent? Wasn't god a little too unfair?

At this moment, Mary felt so terrible that her heart ached...

However, another matter soon popped up in her mind...

Mary recalled that, not long after she boasted in front of Xyla with her fake butterfly necklace, Diana, a global celebrity, showed off her genuine butterfly necklace on Weibo...

That was also why her wearing a fake necklace was exposed, and it was also why she was mocked.

Also, that was also when her father discovered that she pretended to buy the genuine necklace, but instead earned a profit by buying a fake one...

Back then, Mary already suspected that it was all linked to Xyla...

Now that Mary thought about it, she couldn't help but think why she was so foolish back then.

She wore a fake version of Sunny's butterfly necklace and boasted in front of Sunny herself by saying it was genuine.

In fact, she even said that the genuine necklace Sunny was wearing was fake... Ahh... Mary felt truly speechless!

This must have also been the reason why Xyla hated Mary, right?

After that, Xyla cooperated with Diana to torture her...

Although Mary knew that her behavior wasn't proper, Xyla, this b*tch, was still too cunning!

When Mary thought about May's birthday party, she couldn't help but think about Emily Quest.

If it were possible, Mary wished Emily, her best friend, could come back to life...

In that way, there would be someone else to torture Xyla with her.

Now, Mary was on her own. There were many things she couldn't execute perfectly!

"Emily Quest... I really miss you a lot..." Mary said. After that, she helplessly closed her eyes and sighed.

Chapter 1239

Chapter 1239

Right then, somebody opened the door from the outside...

Bailey Ronson carried all sorts of medicine and walked up to Mary Sullivan's bed before sitting down.

Gently, Bailey placed the medicine on the nightstand. After that, she looked at Mary with a pitiful look in her eyes. "Turn around... I'll rub some medicine on you..."

Mary nodded gently. After that, she carefully flipped around.

Although Mary was already cautious, the intense pain still spread through her back in an instant.

Her back had the worst wounds on her entire body.

If she lay still, things would have been better. However, even if she moved the slightest bit, it'd be awful.

In the moment of pain, Mary missed Emily Quest even more dearly.

In fact, she wished Emily could come back to life and kill Xyla Quest!

Who made Mary suffer through all this?

Wasn't it all because of Xyla?

Bailey didn't say anything. Instead, she carefully unbuttoned Mary's white robe.

Soon, Mary's back and legs that looked like a bloody mess appeared before Bailey's eyes.

Although the wounds had already dried up, the surrounding areas were still red and swollen. Bailey felt her heart ache from the sight of them.

"This is all Xyla's fault! If Xyla didn't annoy you so much, you wouldn't have done anything to her.

"If you didn't try to trouble her, none of this would have happened." By then, Bailey's mind was already clouded by rage.

Mary snorted coldly. "Exactly! Xyla, this b*tch. She really deserves to die..."

Likewise, Bailey also snorted coldly. "That's right. She deserves to die for ruining my daughter like this. Whenever I think that one of her kidneys is in my body, I'd feel disgusted... If I had known, I wouldn't have wanted it from her..."

At this moment, Bailey had completely forgotten how she suffered from severe kidney failure and how she bitterly waited for a kidney donation.

All she could think about was how her daughter had been injured.

Mary's face instantly turned cold. "One day, I'm going to make Xyla suffer."

When Bailey heard that, she instantly let out a long sigh. "I advise you not to keep going after her. B*tches will get the karma they deserve. You should let it go and not bring any more harm to our family..." After going through various incidents in the past and present, Bailey finally thought things through.

None of their family members could afford to fight against Xyla.

Despite how much Bailey hated Xyla, the Sullivan family had to suck it up.

As long as Stanley Batton was around, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Xyla...

Who was Xyla? She was the apple of his eye, his darling. Whoever tried to touch her would die.

However, Mary rolled her eyes at Bailey. "I'll just be more careful next time. Can't I do it if I just make sure I don't get exposed?"

Mary didn't believe that Xyla would be able to find out what she did each time.

When Bailey heard this, she instantly slapped Mary hard on her buttocks. "Listen up! Don't keep doing this. Haven't you been tortured enough by yourself?"

"Ahh..." Pain spread through Mary's body. She instantly cried out in surprise.

Knowing that nothing good would come out of telling Bailey anything further, Mary pretended to give in. "Alright... I understand. I won't do it again..."

Bailey smiled satisfactorily. "That's more like it. You must believe that b*tches will get the karma they deserve."

"Oh, right! About Linda Jerome and her father... Why did they come to our house today?" Mary asked.

Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240

"After beating you up, Linda Jerome's father brought her over... On the surface, they said they wanted to apologize to your father, but the things they said hinted to your father that you were wrong and that you deserved it..." Bailey Ronson said.

"To be honest, how were they even apologizing? They were here to add fuel to the fire... When your father heard what they said, he was enraged. He even kept saying that Linda did well for beating you up.......” Bailey added.

When Mary Sullivan heard this, she felt furious for no reason...

'So this was what happened!' she thought.

"Linda sure knows how to play this game! What a cunning b*tch..." Mary said.

"That's right. Even if you were wrong, she didn't have to do this to you, did she?" Bailey snorted coldly.

Now, Bailey truly felt sorry for her daughter. Her heart ached so badly that she was going mad...

Right then, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Tony Sullivan's cold face appeared by the door.

When Bailey and Mary saw him, their bodies shuddered at the same time...

Their hearts even rose to their throats.

Tony frowned coldly and looked at Mary. "B*stard! Are you feeling better?"

His tone was icy, and he didn't sound concerned about her at all...

Now, Tony was still feeling furious. He hadn't eased up at all.

Mary nodded. "I'm a little better..."

"In that case, stand up..." Tony added.

"Honey, look at the state your child is in. Why are you asking her to get up?" Bailey asked nervously with a confused look in her eyes.

"Naturally, I want her to go to Xyla and apologize in person... Otherwise, are we going to wait until Dragon Group comes and deals with us? Have you forgotten how much the Sullivan family suffered the last time we offended Stanley Batton?" Tony uttered.

When Mary heard the cold-hearted things Tony said, she instantly felt she was going mad.

Apologize to Xyla?

There was no way Mary would do that!

Bailey also knew that Mary wouldn't be willing to do it. "Why don't I go on behalf of her... Please stop torturing the poor child," Bailey said carefully.

Bailey knew that an apology was necessary after all the trouble they caused.

Even so, Bailey was also unwilling to go herself.

However, Xyla was way too powerful right now.

"Mary, if you won't go and apologize, from now on... You can leave this house..." Tony said.

Mary almost peed herself out of shock as soon as she heard this. "I... I've got it..."

"We'll leave at eight... Both of you, get ready... There's an hour left." After saying that, Tony turned and left.

Bang-

The door shut behind him.

Mary and Bailey were both almost driven to the point of madness!

However, they still didn't dare to speak a word.

***

After having dinner, Xyla Quest drove her red Maserati and sent Sharon Lindt to the countryside, castle-like villa where she lived.

Xyla's red Maserati came to a stable halt in the courtyard.

There happened to be a streetlight above the car.

Since the Maserati had an open roof, the warm, yellow light shone upon Xyla's face.

It made her face, which had nude makeup on, look unusually bright and pretty.

Seeing Xyla like this, even a woman like Sharon was about to fall for her.

Although there were many bright stars in the night sky, none could shine as brightly as Xyla in Sharon's eyes.

"Xyla... Tell me, what other talents are you keeping from me? Hmm? How could you be this awesome?" Sharon looked at Xyla with eyes full of admiration. She once again looked like Xyla's young female fan. However, Xyla laughed. "About that... You'll find out in the future."
