Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 695

“It’s Tang Bohu’s painting. Xyla told me that you love to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, especially Tang Bohu’s artworks.” Jeremy Quest responded.

A smile blossomed on Wilson Batton’s face when he heard his favorite painter’s name. Without further ado, he unfolded the handscroll in front of everyone.

This beautiful painting was a collection that he had longed for.

Unfortunately, he was late to the auction last time. As a result, someone else had taken away this painting for twenty million dollars.

He could not believe that Jeremy was actually that ‘someone else’.

“Aye! Thank you so much, Jeremy!” Wilson held the painting joyfully and admired it with all his heart.

He looked very much like a little girl encountering her beloved idol in real life.

Xyla Quest understood why her father was willing to give Wilson his favorite painting of all time.

The Batton family had given her family many valuable gifts. Hence, he wanted to return something of the same value to show his gratitude.

On top of that, he hoped that his decent gift could more or less grace her daughter in front of her in-laws.

As Xyla pondered about it, the corner of her soft lips subconsciously curved upward into a shallow arc.

Her father always had her best interests at heart.

“Isn’t this the painting you’ve been longing for? You’ve finally found it. You must be really happy, aren’t you?” Sharon Lindt glanced at the painting and asked.

“Are you interested in the painting too?” Upon hearing that, Jeremy could not help but grin in satisfaction.

Wilson nodded. “Yeah. I love it…”

Looking at the painting in Wilson’s hand, May Conner’s heart was shattered into a million pieces.

She did not agree with Jeremy to give such a priceless gift to the Batton family.

This painting was worth more than twenty million dollars.

It would not be a problem if they wanted to resell it at the price of thirty million dollars.

Tang Bohu’s artwork was one of the rarest antiques on the market.

However, May had no right to stop Jeremy as he had already made up his mind. Furthermore, she had learned an important lesson from her previous mistake, that was, to play nice in front of Jeremy.
