The gentle color tone made her fair skin appear unusually smooth.
The tight design of the upper portion and loose design of the lower part perfectly accentuated her curvatures and the leanness of her waist.
In the mirror, Xyla almost looked like a fairy.
From every angle, her makeup and outfit seemed perfect today.
After walking up to a huge jewelry cabinet, Xyla selected a silver, dangling pearl earring and put it on her right ear.
On the other side, she put on a simple pearl earring.
Right after that, Xyla selected a pair of silver high heels and a silver diamond-studded purse.
Xyla shoved her phone into her purse without putting on any other unnecessary accessories and walked out of the closet.
Right then, her phone started to ring.
When she took her phone out, she saw that Stanley sent her a message. He was informing her that he would head over to the Batton family’s place directly.
He asked her to head over with the security car.
Xyla replied with an ‘OK’ emoji. After that, she went downstairs to pick up the gift she prepared and headed out.
The gift was wrapped in a white, square, palm-sized box. There was a silk, champagne-colored, butterfly-shaped knot tied onto the box. It seemed incomparably intricate.
There wasn’t any logo on the box. It was entirely white…
After walking out the door, Xyla didn’t get into her car. Instead, she asked her bodyguard to head over to the garage. After the bodyguard drove over the black Rolls-Royce, Xyla got into the car…
Soon, the Rolls-Royce departed grandly. Fifty black Porsche Cayenne security cars were tailing it.
There were four bodyguards in each of the cars…
Ever since the previous incident, Xyla would always be accompanied by security guards in this manner when she left the house.
When the car made it to the city center, there was suddenly traffic congestion.
The path that initially only took an hour ended up taking up to two hours…
Xyla quickly got out of the car. She then lifted the hem of her gown slightly and ran into the living room.
When she entered the living room, she was shocked.
Right then, the party didn’t seem to have started at all.
Many people were still standing around different places, both upstairs and downstairs, while they chatted.
Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh Batton, Stanley Batton, and Catherine Batton were sitting on couches in the corner as they chatted.
The moment Xyla walked in, everyone turned to look at her…
Right after that, a middle-aged lady wearing a royal-blue silk tube-top gown approached Xyla with a smile. “You must be Xyla, right? So you’re finally here… If you came any later, we’d be bored to death…”
“Your mother-in-law said that the party would only start once her daughter-in-law arrived…” The middle-aged lady added.
When Xyla heard this, her eyes filled with shock.
