Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1074

Right then, an obese, middle-aged man in the last row raised his numbered card. “150,000…”

Xyla Quest gave the man a deep look before calling for another bid. “200,000…”

She guessed that the man probably also realized what mystery this painting held.

“300,000…” The obese, middle-aged man said again.

“500,000…” Xyla said.

At the venue, everyone, including the auctioneer on stage, was stunned.

“What are these two up to? Are they competing to see who’s richer and a bigger fool? Hahaha…”

“The longer you live, the weirder things you see!”

“Are they really fighting over a worthless piece of imitated art?”

“Isn’t this a little too funny? Are they inherently fond of imitated art?”

People around them began to discuss among themselves again…

Although Sharon Lindt was puzzled by Xyla’s behavior, she knew that Xyla must have had her reasons.

She knew her daughter-in-law well enough.

Sharon believed that her daughter-in-law must’ve seen through something that’s hidden in the painting. That was why she wanted to bid for it.

Hence, Sharon became quiet.

“600,000…” The obese, middle-aged man said.

“800,000…” Xyla said.

The obese, middle-aged man seemed as if he was determined to get what he wanted. “One million…”

“Two million…” Xyla said.

Now, there was an uproar in the lobby. Everyone couldn’t understand what was going on between them anymore. Each of the observers began looking at each other.
