Chapter 378
What was going on? How did X Quest know the vice president’s wife?
And…
Why was the vice president’s wife treating X so dearly as they were pretty close? X had the
vice president’s wife to back her up now, what about her?
X was still lost in bewilderment and consternation. Her gaze on the vice president’s wife was as
numb as before.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you remember me, Aunt Reba?” Reba Robin asked.
X shook her head. “No, of course I remember… I just didn’t expect that you... you’re… the vice
president’s wife.”
Rebaughed cheerfully. “Let’s not talk about that. My dear, what are those people talking
about?”
Before X could even speak a word, the surrounding people began to describe the whole incident
to Reba, fearing tog behind the others.
Needless to say, these people had to take X’s side as they noticed that the vice president’s wife
was supporting X.
The few noblewomen who went with the flow and scolded X started to tremble and shiver right
now.
Mary Sullivan was terrified to the extreme that her heart was pounding out of her chest as she
heard the description of the crowd about the incident. Her face was reddened with shame before it
gradually turned pale.
Her arrogance hadpletely vanished without a trace, too.
Originally, she wanted to turn X Quest into a joke in front of everyone.
Nevertheless, little did she know, she had made a monkey out of herself instead of X in the end.
If she knew that she would end up this way, she would never have made a scene between both of
them and attracted so many people’s attention.
She felt so regretful that her stomach was in knots.
Mary stood still right there, feeling unsure if she should flee or stay as neither was helpful to her.
Her body was extremely heavy as if it was filled with lead.
The vice president’s wife was so nice to X. She would definitely punish her for targeting X,
right?
“Oh, really?” Reba slowly dropped her gaze on Mary’s face.
In the next second, Reba’s eyes were tinged with a touch of coldness. They werepletely
different from the way they looked at X just now.
Mary was trembling unconsciously the moment Reba stared at her. Her heart almost stopped
beating.
“Actually, it’s all a misunderstanding…” Mary carefully responded. The blush on her face spreaded
all the way to her ears as well as her neck. She hardly dared to breathe.
“Misunderstanding? It doesn’t sound like a misunderstanding to me. Girl, don’t you think you owe
X an apology for humiliating her like that?”
“I… I…” Mary did not know how to respond. Her mind was a mess.
Should she apologise? How embarrassing was that?
However, this woman would not forgive her if she did not apologise, would she? If she identally
implicated the Sullivan family because of this, she would definitely be kicked out of the house.
X felt much more relieved as she looked at the way Mary winced unpleasantly.
When she thought of that, Mary took a breath and forced herself to look into X’s eyes. She
lowered her head courteously and apologised. “I’m… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have ndered you…”
X heaved a heavy breath. She was toozy to confront her anymore. She just wanted to proceed
to the auction as soon as possible. Therefore, she ignored Mary and blinked at Reba Robin.
“Aunty… Let’s go in. The auction is about to start… I don’t want to waste my time.”
“Yes, I know.” Reba nodded repeatedly. Her eyes were overflowed with immense tenderness.
The next moment, Reba raised her hand and threw Mary a cold nce. “What’s your name?”
Mary was sitting at the edge of the seat when she heard the question.
She did not know if she should answer the question. If she did and Reba knew that she was
from the Sullivan family, would she vent her wrath upon the Sullivans?

If she did not answer, it would not help either. After all, Reba could look into it, or she could
simply hear from X that bitch.
Therefore, she had no choice but to answer obediently, “Mary… Mary Sullivan.”
