“Ahh… You’re from the Sullivan family… No wonder you’re so uneducated.” Rebecca Robin insulted her mercilessly.
Mary Sullivan was getting more and more embarrassed.
“That girl’s from the Sullivan family? She must be Tom Sullivan’s sister, right? Tsk tsk tsk… Like brother, like sister.”
“The Sullivans have a really terrible family culture. I think Tom Sullivan and her will destroy and ruin their whole family sooner or later.”
“Well, I got it instantly when she said she’s the Sullivans. It’s not surprising, though… If someone like Tom Sullivan can exist, what’s so shocking about Mary Sullivan?”
The noblewomen were gabbling and jabbering among each other, catering to Rebecca. They were constantly humiliating and verbally abusing Mary.
The curves at the edges of Xyla Quest’s lips were getting gradually more obvious. She felt incessantly pleased. The words and comments that flowed through her ears were extremely soothing to her. On the other hand, Mary could feel that her self- esteem was being crushed and trampled to the ground by these people. She was mad, frustrated, and she wanted to vent her rage but she knew that she could not…
“Let’s go, Xyla.” Rebecca continued to hold Xyla’s hand and strode into the building.
The noblewomen who had been watching them rolled their eyes at Mary before they left her and followed behind Xyla and Rebecca.
Mary took a deep breath and turned around intending to leave. However, her legs froze when she thought of what her father had reminded her earlier. Her father had asked her to bid for the blue and white porcelain vase from the Tang dynasty. Her father had emphasized that she ought to own the vase and it could not be taken away by anyone else. If she were to leave the auction now, she would definitely be scolded and reprimanded by her father when she got home.
She was the one who pestered her parents that time, begging them to get her the ticket for this auction. The only condition that her father put forward was this.
Her intention to get associated with the powerful higher-ups through this auction had completely vanished after Xyla and the others had made such a big fuss just now. She did not even want to step inside the auction house. However, no matter how she felt, she had to bear through it and force herself in. She had to get the vase.
In the next second, Mary took a long, deep breath. She paced up and down outside of the auction house, trying to compose herself. Then, she squeezed the invitation card and stalked towards the entrance to check her ticket. After checking the ticket, she headed to the front for security checking.
As the identities of the guests who attended the auction were high-profile, so the security check here was particularly strict. She went through a total of six security checks before she entered the inside of the auction house.
The inside of the auction house was just like the outside, decorated in an antique Country Z style. The tables and chairs as well as the floor were all made of valuable rosewood. Under the guidance of the staff, she entered a huge double storey auction room.
The room was divided into two floors.
The lower floor was filled with numerous people sitting in front of each of the tables.
The upper floor was the lounge. It was less crowded compared to the lower floor and there were only a few tables set up as well.
The ticket she got was for the lounge. Therefore, she lifted her dress and scurried off to the second floor. Her feet froze again as she caught a glimpse of her table she was at.
Her table, surprisingly, was adjacent to Xyla’s. Xyla was drinking tea and chatting with Rebecca at the moment. The atmosphere around their table was exceptionally good.
A group of men in black were standing right behind the two of them, with powerful aura.
Looking at Xyla’s calm and relaxed appearance as she talked to Rebecca and the fond expression on Rebecca’s face, Mary was jealous to the extreme.
