Everyone felt even more shocked! They began looking at each other at once.
Was the vice president’s wife personally cooking for Xyla Quest? Who would have thought that was possible?
After chatting with Rebecca Robin for a while, Xyla hung up.
Very soon, the crowd surrounded Xyla and began asking her about her relationship to Rebecca. She was like a celebrity all of a sudden.
The people around Xyla were bombarding her with questions one after another. The voices were all mixed up such that Xyla couldn’t even quite clearly hear them.
Xyla also had no idea who she should reply to first.
All she could do was smile awkwardly while she listened to their unending list of questions…
Meanwhile, Mary felt like a neglected child nearby, with nobody batting an eyelid at her now.
Mary felt as if her attention had been stolen away by Xyla completely. Right then, she was feeling extremely annoyed.
Was Xyla so capable that she could now mingle closely with influential people like Rebecca?
Mary stomped her feet on the ground, overwhelmed with feelings of jealousy.
Her action actually glorified Xyla instead of embarrassing her. Mary felt thoroughly speechless.
In the next second, she prepared to leave right away.
After pushing her way out of the crowd, she took a few steps forward only to bump into someone. When she looked up, Stanley Batton stood right in front of her. He had very handsome facial features.
Since Stanley was very tall, he towered over Mary and made her feel greatly oppressed.
His cold gaze caused Mary to subconsciously shudder.
“If the necklace is real, you’ll dance with your clothes off. That’s what you said,” Stanley said plainly with an imposing manner.
