“Don’t worry about it, Aunty. But how did you know that car belonged to Mary Sullivan? Did you see Mary getting out of the car earlier?” Xyla Quest asked.
“Yes…” Sharon Lindt answered truthfully.

After the meal, Sharon chatted with Xyla for a long while.
They talked about fashion, hairstyles, makeup, and traveling. It seemed as if they had endless topics to talk about.
Through conversing with Sharon, Xyla could deeply sense this woman’s vitality.
Although Sharon was not very young, she was young in terms of her mentality. She played most games young people played. In fact, there were a lot of games she played that young people couldn’t even play well.
It was as if an eighteen-year-old lived within Sharon Lindt’s heart. She always lived like she were a child.
Xyla was particularly fond of Sharon because of that.
After chatting for a long while, they finally parted with heavy hearts.
A week later, Xyla had fully recovered.
After leaving Quest Group in the evening, Xyla fixed her makeup before retrieving Sharon’s invitation to attend the antique auction. Xyla drove her red Maserati to the venue where the auction was held, Atlantis Auction House.
This venue was in the heart of Atlantis City. There were a total of six floors to the building, fully designed with a Chinese-inspired style. Surrounded by western-inspired architecture, it looked unusually attractive in contrast.
Outside the auction house, many large, red, classic lanterns were hung all around. Even the signboard was designed traditionally, making it classic in appearance.
Since the auction was about to begin, many luxurious cars were already parked outside the auction house.
In fact, many of these luxurious cars had unique car registration numbers. Anyone would be afraid of touching them.
Clearly, Xyla’s Maserati that cost a few million was dwarfed in comparison.
