Apart from feeling rage, there was nothing Mary Sullivan could do.
Bottling up her emotions inside was killing her.
Growing up, Mary had rarely been insulted by other people.
All her humiliating moments were related to Xyla Quest, and so she felt that she was her greatest enemy.
“Xyla, don’t go too far,” Mary yelled through gritted teeth.
Xyla frowned slightly. She continued to flick her long, beige nails against one another before looking at Mary’s face.
“I don’t like what you said. You were the one who came up with the bet and lost. How could I have gone too far?
“Weren’t you the one who suggested this? What’s the matter? Do you think it’s too much now?” Xyla’s voice became increasingly cold.
Xyla genuinely despised Mary, so she wasn’t holding back at all.
“That’s right... you suggested this yourself. Now, you’re blaming Xyla for it. Are people from the Sullivan family all this shameless?”
“You’re not wrong. Isn’t everyone from the Sullivan family like this? None of them are decent.”
“Exactly. There is rarely any positive news about the Sullivan family. It’s always negative in the media… tsk, tsk.”
Xyla’s bodyguards were speaking in turns.
Their words were like poison to Mary, hurting her.
Clenching her fists, she glared at those bodyguards who mocked her. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get someone to break your legs when I get home?”
“Go ahead and try,” Xyla challenged calmly.
When she last used her vision, she saw that the underground palace’s entrance happened to be right above the ore vein.
Based on Darren and his team’s standard practice, they would only blast the entrance and not other places when causing detonations.
For this very reason, Xyla didn’t say too much when she directed Darren to get down there.
When he saw Xyla standing in front of the mine entrance, he quickly approached her. “Do you want to go down into the underground palace?”
Xyla didn’t answer him. Instead, she continued to check out the condition of the underground palace through her vision.
Indeed, there were hidden mechanisms inside.
There was one by the entrance, but it had already been destroyed by the explosives.
From the first look, it seemed that each room in the underground palace was not connected to the other.
