“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Xyla Quest briefly calculated the time and found out that the journey from her location would take at least an hour.
Without further ado, she floored the gas pedal.
Her red Maserati then sped down the streets, all the way to the destination.
Xyla finally arrived at the art gallery at the appointed time.
Effortlessly, she caught sight of Sharon Lindt from afar. Her mother-in-law was standing at the main entrance with a large group of bodyguards, patiently waiting for her.
Sharon was dressed in a mint knitted cardigan with a white chiffon dress inside, matching them a pair of pastel flats. She completed her look with light makeup and a low ponytail, looking very much like a young little girl.
The entrance of the art gallery was extremely crowded.
However, no one was as eye-catching as Sharon.
As Xyla stared at that elegant lady in the sea of heads, she could not help wondering how alluring she would have been when she was young.
Xyla quickly found a nice spot to park her car and walked up to Sharon with a bright smile.
Noticing her arrival, Sharon instantly wrapped her arms around Xyla’s as her heart leaped up in joy. “Let’s go, Xyla… We shall go in now. It’s Wilmer Lacroix’s exhibition today! He’s my favorite contemporary French painter!”
Xyla smiled in response. “I like him too.”
“Really? We better hurry up then! Go ahead and pick the paintings you like. I’ll buy them for you.” Hand in hand, the two of them strode into the art gallery.
Inside the hall, countless authentic French paintings were hanging on the walls.
In addition to the popular landscape paintings and bird-and-flower paintings, Wilmer Lacroix presented many other notable paintings.
Every painting was so exquisite that all the visitors who passed by could not take their eyes off them.
The hall was filled with visitors in no time. Everyone was admiring the paintings in silence.
