Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1318

Xyla Quest smiled without saying anything. Instead, she simply shook her head.

Xavier York instantly lowered his voice. “Oh? Why so?”

“My intuition…” Xyla said softly.

“Intuition?” Xavier looked confused.

“Yes…” Xyla said.

“But I think your intuition isn’t accurate… This contains 100% jade. Be it the horsetail pine on the outside, or the cut surface, they’re all conveying the same message…” Xavier said softly.

This time, he really felt that Xyla’s intuition was wrong…

“I believe in my intuition…” Xyla said determinedly.

However, Xavier shook his head and chuckled. “This time, I believe in my intuition, too…”

“What about this… Let’s make a bet. If this piece of material is truly worthless, as you say, I’ll give you something,” Xavier said.

Xyla nodded calmly. “Sure. What will you give me?”

“What do you want?” Xavier asked.

“You can decide,” Xyla said.

“If it’s true, I’ll give you an antique item. You can go to my antique store and pick anything you want… Anything at all…” Xavier said.

“Are you sure about this?” Xyla chuckled.

“Naturally… What if you lose? What will you give me?” Xavier asked.

“If I lose, I’ll give you whatever you want,” Xyla said.

“Alright. It’s a deal,” Xavier said.

Xyla nodded decisively…

This was a bet that she would win without question.

Xyla only agreed because she wanted to have some fun with Xavier by doing what made him happy.

She wouldn’t take anything from him once the results were revealed.

Soon, the bid started.

Everyone furiously fought over the piece of material on stage…

Xavier didn’t participate in the bid. Instead, he silently looked at the object on the stage.

Out of curiosity, Xyla looked at Xavier. “Aren’t you going to take part? Didn’t you say it’s good stuff?”

Xavier shook his head. “I’ve already quit. I don’t take part in rock gambling anymore…”

“Why?” Xyla asked.

“Because my wife doesn’t like it when I do it,” Xavier said.

“Alright then…” Xyla said.

Xyla was glad that he didn’t participate in the bid. This spared her a lot of time from trying to advise him against it.

“She’s always felt that rock gambling isn’t a stable venture…” Xavier said.

“Yeah, she’s right,” Xyla said.
