Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 1072
There were all sorts of luxury cars parked in the huge parking lot in front of the hotel. At one glance, it seemed like a large-scale luxury car exhibition.As soon as Sharon Lindt brought the car to a halt, the six security cars that came with them also instantly stopped. Right after that, twelve bodyguards got out of their cars first. They automatically split into two groups and stood on both sides of the pink Lamborghini.The two bodyguards nearest to the car simultaneously opened the doors for Sharon and Xyla Quest.The huge formation attracted the attention of countless passersby.Immediately after that, the two of them got out of the car from their respective sides. They then walked toward each other in unison and held each other’s hand affectionately before walking into the hotel.Since this was a grand, large-scale antique auction, the largest ballroom in the hotel, Phoenix Hall, was chosen as the auction venue.At this moment, the ballroom’s seats were fully occupied.

However, what Xyla Quest found weird was the fact that this was a well-imitated oil painting, but why was it still framed so intricately?The frame of the painting was even coated in gold…“It’s too fake…” Xyla said.“I think it’s a little fake, too,” Sharon Lindt said softly.When a young woman next to Sharon heard this, she instantly laughed. “How could fake items appear in an auction of this magnitude? It must be real…”Xyla glanced at that woman. “But I don’t think it is…”However, the woman shook her head. “How is it not real… You overthink.”“Yeah, don’t you know? This is Van Gogh’s true work of art, alright? Where do you think this is? How could they sell imitated stuff here?” A young man next to the woman chipped in.A small group of people around the young man and woman also nodded in agreement. Based on the way they looked at Xyla, it seemed as if they were secretly laughing at her.Neither Sharon nor Xyla continued making small talk with them. Instead, they looked a

Right then, an obese, middle-aged man in the last row raised his numbered card. “150,000…” Xyla Quest gave the man a deep look before calling for another bid. “200,000…”She guessed that the man probably also realized what mystery this painting held.“300,000…” The obese, middle-aged man said again.“500,000…” Xyla said.At the venue, everyone, including the auctioneer on stage, was stunned.“What are these two up to? Are they competing to see who’s richer and a bigger fool? Hahaha…”“The longer you live, the weirder things you see!”“Are they really fighting over a worthless piece of imitated art?”“Isn’t this a little too funny? Are they inherently fond of imitated art?”People around them began to discuss among themselves again…Although Sharon Lindt was puzzled by Xyla’s behavior, she knew that Xyla must have had her reasons.She knew her daughter-in-law well enough.Sharon believed that her daughter-in-law must’ve seen through something that’s hidden in the painting.

Xyla Quest then gently reached for Sharon Lindt’s hand.Sharon smiled. “I know that you have your reasons.”Instantly, the entire lobby was silent…Right then, the obese, middle-aged man walked up to Xyla. “Lady… After this, may I admire this painting of yours for a moment?” he asked.Xyla smiled at the man. “Sure,” she said.“Do you also suspect that this is a case of a painting within a painting? Was that why you bid for it?” the obese, middle-aged man asked curiously.Sure enough, this man also had suspicions of there being a painting within a painting…Xyla still smiled. “Well… Yes.”The obese, middle-aged man instantly laughed. “You have good eyes. If I had enough money, I would have made a gamble today.”Xyla looked the man up and down. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he looked nothing like the celebrities here.It looked like he was here to purchase auction items on behalf of his boss. He was not some famous, powerful, or rich individual. Indeed, he didn’t seem

Everyone just watched Clarence Steele from a distance while he carefully took the painting apart.After about an hour, the two paintings were completely separated—The painting of the golden wheat field beneath the original painting was now in full display before Clarence’s eyes.After careful inspection of the painting, Clarence carefully picked it up and showed it to the crowd. “This… This is a real work of Van Gogh! All the details are the same as the real pieces of art from Van Gogh!” he said excitedly.Clarence's words, as well as the object in his hand, stunned everyone at once.Xyla Quest was the only one who seemed calm and collected with no ripples of emotions in her eyes.In the crowd, she looked like a white peony that couldn’t be tainted by dust. She was both pretty and elegant…“This really does seem like the work of Van Gogh… It doesn’t look any different from his other works…” “This style… This method of using colors. If this wasn’t Van Gogh, who could it be?”

Xyla Quest was quite pleased with this price.She instantly smiled. “Alright, deal.”“She bought the crappy painting with 2.3 million. It turns out that there’s actually a genuine Van Gogh painting hidden behind it. She even managed to sell it at a high price of 150 million. Isn’t that crazy?”“Pretty lady, you have good eyes… I’ll apologize.”“I’ll apologize, too. I’m the dumb one… Not you.”The people around Xyla began to sigh after that…Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at her.Each of them regretted not participating in the bid.Xyla smiled. “It’s fine… Your reaction is entirely normal,” she said.“Can I make the purchase using a check?” Wagner Wolfe smiled and asked.“Sure,” Xyla answered decisively.After that, Wagner cheerfully retrieved an empty check from his wallet. He wrote down 150 million on the check and handed it to Xyla.Xyla had a satisfied smile upon her face. After that, she put the check into the Chanel bag she carried.Havin

Xyla Quest saw Tom Sullivan and Mary Sullivan chatting while they headed outside.Tom was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He seemed much thinner than before, and he was no longer beaming with energy as he did back then.Meanwhile, Mary was wearing a light green, slim-fit dress. As always, she had heavy makeup on, and she behaved very flamboyantly.As soon as Tom turned around, he saw Xyla.Xyla was beautiful and attractive. Her entire body seemed to be glowing. Although many passersby surrounded her, none of them looked as good as she did.After not seeing Xyla for a long time, she seemed even more beautiful. The confidence and calmness in her eyes had grown significantly.Tom heard that she had another identity as the big boss of X Entertainment.Xyla really was outstanding! She was like an unreachable star.Every time Tom saw Xyla, he felt an immense feeling of regret in his heart.Mary, on the other hand, instantly had a sullen expression upon her face.When M

When the six luxury cars arrived in front of the company’s building, Xyla Quest looked up and saw that the building’s top floor lights were still on.Zack Cassidy, who was waiting at the door, saw Xyla and quickly stepped forward to open the door for her respectfully.“What are you doing here?” Xyla’s eyes flashed with a slight look of surprise.“Mr. Batton asked me to come down and get you directly to the conference room,” Zack said.“Oh… I brought Japanese food. Help carry these up with the rest…” Xyla said.“I know you all mustn’t have had your dinner yet…” She added.Zack’s eyes filled with gratitude. “Ma’am… That’s very kind of you. We really haven’t had dinner yet…”Xyla laughed nonchalantly. “Why so courteous now? I’ll not be going into the conference room. I’ll wait for him in his office,” she said.“Mr. Batton said you must go to the conference room. He… He misses you…” Zack said.Xyla was speechless.“Don’t make things difficult for me… Please?” Zack asked.Xyla no
