Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1796

Xyla Quest refused to engage the two men in a discussion about the quality of her jade mines.

The man with the baritone voice noticed her smile as his gaze fixed on her face.

“Why do you look so familiar?” he asked with a smile.

Xyla chuckled. “And you are?”

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Cain Hollander, Mr. Shaw’s protege,” Cain said.

Xyla nodded before extending a hand to him politely. “Nice to meet you. I’m Xyla Quest.”

Cain instantly realized who she was. “No wonder you looked so familiar. You’re that Xyla who regularly appears on the list of hot topics, aren’t you?”

Xyla nodded.

“It is my pleasure to meet you. Does this jade mine belong to you?” Cain asked.

“Yes, it belongs to me.”

“Take my advice; don’t keep digging. You’ll only lose money if you don’t stop,” Cain said.

Xyla chuckled again. “I intend to keep digging,” she replied with a calm expression.

Cain couldn’t resist laughing when he heard this. “Believe me, even if you keep going, nothing will come of it. The quality of jade you find now determines what lies beneath it.”

“If I’m not mistaken, you’ll probably only unearth things like granite,” he added.

Xyla was impressed with his professional judgment.

“But I want to keep digging,” Xyla insisted.

A condescending expression also appeared on his face. “Are you all right? As rich as you are, this is not how you should spend your money.”

“Darren, bring some men and continue digging down there," Xyla instructed, turning to address Darren Green.
