“Is this girl trying to cover up her weakness by insulting others? Ridiculous.”
The noblewomen started whispering around them.
Mary Sullivan felt as her face was being slapped by them several times without mercy.
She was abashed and annoyed at the same time. She glared at Xyla Quest fiercely and yelled, “I might know nothing… but I’m still allowed to come, right? No one says that people who are ignorant about antiques cannot come, right? I’m here to pick up men just because I don’t know any better? Can’t it be anything else? Can’t I come to learn?”
“Eat your own words, girl. When you questioned my lack of knowledge of antiques, you clearly said that people who don’t know anything about antiques are here for gold-digging. How come you’re allowed to learn when it comes to you? Mary Sullivan, you’re pretty double standard, eh?”
Xyla was in no hurry to fight her back. She dropped her eyes on her right hand when she finished her sentence and flicked her nails.
Mary was totally speechless. Her face was flushed with shame.
If there was a hole in the ground right now, she would have hidden herself inside the hole.
“The questions that you asked me are just some basic knowledge… It can’t prove your knowledge of antiques at all.” Mary began to switch the subject immediately.
The surrounding noblewomen who had been listening to their arguments rolled their eyes at Mary as they were amazed by Mary’s words.
“What are you guys chatting about? Is there something interesting?” A woman’s voice was ringing here and now. The voice was not too high but not too low either.
Shortly afterwards, countless bodyguards dressed in black suits appeared and stepped forward to lead the way.
Naturally, the crowd swiftly opened up a path for the woman.
The path led straight to Xyla and Mary.
A bejeweled middle-aged woman wearing a pale blue Chanel set dress appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The woman looked gentle and elegant, dignified yet imposing.
All the noblewomen surrounding them became respectful and courteous the moment they saw her.
