Chapter 404


    At this moment, arge group of rich housewives surrounded Mary Sullivan and began eyeing her


    ne and examining the pendant carefully.


    While they did this, theyplimented her.


    “Hey, it really is Sunny’s work of art. Look at the intricate details. This butterfly looks so real.”


    “Mary, it’s amazing that you managed to buy Sunny’s product. This person is very mysterious, and


    she only works with one brand every year to release a single design of jewelry. In fact, they are


    always one-of-a-kind in the world.”


    “Many women can only dream of buying these one-of-a-kind designs from her… I try to buy it every


    year, but I always fail.”


    These women were so noisy that X Quest couldn’t hear what Reba Robin was saying on the


    phone.


    Hence, X grabbed Stanley Batton’s hand and walked away. “Aunt Reba, how are you? I’m at


    a birthday party, and it’s extremely noisy here. I couldn’t hear what you said earlier,” X said


    gently.


    “Oh, it’s fine. I just asked if you could put the call on loudspeaker. I would like to have a few words


    with Mary Sullivan,” Reba said.


    X felt thoroughly confused, but she didn’t say anything. Right away, she put the call on


    loudspeaker before walking over to Mary and ced the phone near her mouth. “The vice


    president’s wife wants to have a word with you…”


    Stanley stood quietly where he was without following X. His gaze briefly swept past X while a


    faint smile appeared on his face.


    Very soon, he turned around and walked over to a nearby couch before sitting down.


    Even without doing anything, and by merely sitting down quietly, Stanley still attracted looks from


    countless women.


    When Mary heard what X said, she was immediately stunned. “Hello…” She said carefully after


    clearing her throat.


    When people around heard it was a call from the vice president’s wife, they instantly quieted down.


    “I heard X wore a counterfeit version of my Blue Romance, is that so?” Reba’s voice could be


    heard over the phone.


    “Well… Isn’t it true?” Mary felt insecure after all.


    X was finding it a little difficult to believe. A bunch of questions popped up in her mind one after


    another.


    How did Reba find out in such a short amount of time that Mary was questioning her about this?


    Could there be someone here whom Reba knew? Did that person tell Reba what happened?


    This was the only possibility X could think of.


    “I gave that ne to X,” Reba added.


    In that instant, Mary felt she was being put on the spot. It was extremely awkward.


    Just like that, Mary stood still and suddenly was at a loss for words.


    The people around her were all shocked. None of them expected the situation to suddenly change


    like that. Some of them began rolling their eyes at Mary.


    To Mary, the people’s looks were akin to sharpened knives being shed against her face.


    Why was this happening again?


    Why did the vice president’s wife give X such an expensive ne as a gift?


    Mary wanted to embarrass X, but she ended up embarrassing herself.


    Feeling thoroughly embarrassed, Tony Sullivan and Bailey Ronson’s faces turned gloomy.


    May Conner silently clenched her fists tightly by her side.


    Meanwhile, Jeremy Quest had a shocked expression on his face while he looked at X. He had


    not expected his daughter to be this closely acquainted with the vice president’s wife.


    He had to admit that his daughter was excellent at socializing. With such capabilities, the Quest


    family’s business would no doubt only get better under X’s management.

    When X saw Mary in such a state, she felt overjoyed.


    “X… Are you free tonight? Come over to my ce. I’ll cook you something nice,” Reba


    suddenly said with a gentle voice.


    “Yes, I am,” X said while she directly turned off the loudspeaker.
