Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 653

Xyla Quest stood up with a faint smile. “Yeah…”

“And he is…?” Christopher Lancelot asked as he glanced at Jeremy Quest, who was sitting across from Xyla.

“He’s my father,” answered Xyla.

Upon hearing that, Christopher immediately reached out his hand to Jeremy. “Hello, Uncle. I’m Christopher Lancelot.”

Jeremy quickly rose to his feet and gripped Christopher’s hand, his eyes fixed thoughtfully upon the man’s face.

He remembered hearing the man’s name from his business partners before. If he was not mistaken, the man in front of him was a very successful businessman in Country Y. Besides having a large company and a huge market, he was well-connected too. Nonetheless, he was also a very powerful gangster in the gang.

Jeremy smiled politely while shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you.”

“I’ll leave you guys alone first… Let’s have a short chat after the auction is over.” Christopher behaved decently.

Jeremy nodded in response.

With that, Christopher walked away from the two of them and sat at the next table, his long yet slender legs comfortably crossed. His fingers were zippily tapping the tabletop as he watched the auctioneer introducing the event today on the stage.

The man sat facing Xyla. Whenever Xyla raised her head, his delicate jawline and his sexy Adam’s apple would hove into her view.

Xyla looked away from him sheepishly and sat down together with Jeremy, focusing on the stage.

Soon, the auctioneer exhibited the first product for auction.

It was a European vintage ceramic vase that was used by the royal family in ancient times.

Jeremy fell in love with the vase at first sight. Without hesitation, he joined the crowd and raised his auction paddle.

In a blink of an eye, the price of the vase was raised from one million five hundred thousand dollars to fifteen million dollars…

At last, Jeremy won his beloved vase for fifteen million dollars.

He was overwhelmed with joy.

Looking at her father’s thrilled reaction, Xyla felt delighted, too.

Her lips subconsciously curved up into a genuine smile.
