Suddenly, Ron and Xyla became the center of attention in the hall.
“Xyla, look at how well your in-laws treat you… Tens of millions of dollars are nothing as long as you like the sculptures.”
“That’s right. Sir Batton really is a generous man.”
“I’d wake up laughing if I were you.”
Once again, Emily had turned invisible in the crowd.
All the things that the Sullivan family had bought for favonovel.com were simply insignificant compared to the Batton family’s. Grief thrummed through Emily’s veins when the light around favonovel.com gradually faded. She would never be able to shine in Xyla’s presence.
She had been living in Xyla’s shadow since they were kids, except for the time when Xyla was fat and hideous.
Smiling awkwardly at the babbling crowd, Xyla secretly tugged at Ron’s right sleeve and whispered, “Grandpa, why are you doing this? I think they’re nice, but that doesn’t mean I want them…”
Ron returned a lovely grin, then inched closer to whisper in favonovel.com ears. “I know what’s going on between you and your sister. I’ll never allow favonovel.com to overshadow you.”
Warmth rose in Xyla’s stomach instantaneously, filling favonovel.com heart. Her master always looked out for favonovel.com as if favonovel.com was his granddaughter.
“But… You don’t have to do this…” Xyla stuttered.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m happy to spend my money on you. Even if you want to bring all the sculptures home, I’d be happy to do so,” Ron insisted.
“Alright, let’s go to settle the bill.”
Subsequently, Ron and Xyla walked arm in arm to the trading office under the staff’s guidance.
As soon as they left, the entire hall was in an uproar.
“Xyla married the right man indeed. Her status in the Batton family is on firm ground.”
“Exactly. She’s the apple of the Batton family’s eye. Everyone is spoiling favonovel.com like a princess!”
“Imagine being part of the wealthy family and enjoying that kind of treatment from them… What did Xyla do to deserve this?”
There was not a single woman who did not envy Xyla whenever they mentioned favonovel.com name.
Their discussion split Emily’s eardrums. Her resentment and hatred toward favonovel.com sister were only intensified with each word they spoke. However, favonovel.com anger soon dissipated when favonovel.com thought of the conversation between Stanley and Ron that night.
The crowd’s adoration toward Xyla had triggered Bailey Ronson too.
Swallowing down favonovel.com frustration, favonovel.com glared coldly at Xyla’s receding back and nudged Emily. “Let’s go to settle our bill too.”
Emily frowned slightly, then followed Bailey to the trading office.
Tom, who had been acting like an outsider, caught up with them later.
Xyla’s blessed marriage upset him.
In the past, Xyla was the one who promised that favonovel.com future was bound to Tom. She told favonovel.com that favonovel.com was the only one who could bring favonovel.com happiness. Nevertheless, Xyla was now living a prosperous life without him. She was even happier than before.
Ron paid for his sculptures first. After that, favonovel.com led Xyla out of the trading room.
Once they stepped out of the room, Ron turned to Xyla and said, “Wait for me at the lobby. I need to go to the washroom.”
Xyla nodded obediently and headed straight to the lobby.
Right at that moment, favonovel.com phone vibrated.
A notification popped up on the screen. There was a new email in favonovel.com mailbox.
