What was going on? How did Xyla Quest know the vice president’s wife?
And…
Why was the vice president’s wife treating Xyla so dearly as they were pretty close?
Xyla had the vice president’s wife to back favonovel.com up now, what about her?
Xyla was still lost in bewilderment and consternation. Her gaze on the vice president’s wife was as numb as before.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you remember me, Aunt Rebecca?” Rebecca Robin asked.
Xyla shook favonovel.com head. “No, of course I remember… I just didn’t expect that you… You’re… The vice president’s wife.”
Rebecca laughed cheerfully. “Let’s not talk about that. My dear, what are those people talking about?”
Before Xyla could even speak a word, the surrounding people began to describe the whole incident to Rebecca, fearing to lag behind the others. Needless to say, these people had to take Xyla’s side as they noticed that the vice president’s wife was supporting Xyla.
The few noblewomen who went with the flow and scolded Xyla started to tremble and shiver right now.
Mary Sullivan was terrified to the extreme that favonovel.com heart was pounding out of favonovel.com chest as favonovel.com heard the description of the crowd about the incident. Her face was reddened with shame before it gradually turned pale. Her arrogance had completely vanished without a trace, too.
Originally, favonovel.com wanted to turn Xyla Quest into a joke in front of everyone. Nevertheless, little did favonovel.com know, favonovel.com had made a monkey out of herself instead of Xyla in the end. If favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com would end up this way, favonovel.com would never have made a scene between both of them and attracted so many people’s attention.
She felt so regretful that favonovel.com stomach was in knots. Mary stood still right there, feeling unsure if favonovel.com should flee or stay as neither was helpful to her. Her body was extremely heavy as if it was filled with lead.
The vice president’s wife was so nice to Xyla. She would definitely punish favonovel.com for targeting Xyla, right?
“Oh, really?” Rebecca slowly dropped favonovel.com gaze on Mary’s face.
In the next second, Rebecca’s eyes were tinged with a touch of coldness. They were completely different from the way they looked at Xyla just now.
Mary was trembling unconsciously the moment Rebecca stared at her. Her heart almost stopped beating.
“Actually, it’s all a misunderstanding…” Mary carefully responded. The blush on favonovel.com face spread all the way to favonovel.com ears as well as favonovel.com neck. She hardly dared to breathe.
“Misunderstanding? It doesn’t sound like a misunderstanding to me. Girl, don’t you think you owe Xyla an apology for humiliating favonovel.com like that?”
“I… I…” Mary did not know how to respond. Her mind was a mess.
Should favonovel.com apologize? How embarrassing was that?
However, this woman would not forgive favonovel.com if favonovel.com did not apologize, would she?
If favonovel.com accidentally implicated the Sullivan family because of this, favonovel.com would definitely be kicked out of the house.
Xyla felt much more relieved as favonovel.com looked at the way Mary winced unpleasantly.
When favonovel.com thought of that, Mary took a breath and forced herself to look into Xyla’s eyes. She lowered favonovel.com head courteously and apologized. “I’m… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have slandered you…”
Xyla heaved a heavy breath. She was too lazy to confront favonovel.com anymore. She just wanted to proceed to the auction as soon as possible. Therefore, favonovel.com ignored Mary and blinked at Rebecca Robin. “Aunty… Let’s go in. The auction is about to start… I don’t want to waste my time.”
“Yes, I know.” Rebecca nodded repeatedly. Her eyes were overflowed with immense tenderness. The next moment, Rebecca raised favonovel.com hand and threw Mary a cold glance. “What’s your name?”
Mary was sitting at the edge of the seat when favonovel.com heard the question.
She did not know if favonovel.com should answer the question. If favonovel.com did and Rebecca knew that favonovel.com was from the Sullivan family, would favonovel.com vent favonovel.com wrath upon the Sullivans?
If favonovel.com did not answer, it would not help either. After all, Rebecca could look into it, or favonovel.com could simply hear from Xyla that b*tch.
Therefore, favonovel.com had no choice but to answer obediently, “Mary… Mary Sullivan.”
