“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 emphasised 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.
