Stanley Batton’s eyebrows twitched while looking at her with a serious face.
“Who are you?” Xyla questioned.
He asked calmly, “Why would u suddenly ask this question?”
After a second, his eyes were searching for an emotion to show.
“I just feel like your real identity is not that simple.” Xyla said.
“For example?”
“Today, I went to an auction house…”
“Yes, you told me.”
“Only special people can attend this auction.” Xyla said.
“You told me this as well.”
“I saw Sebastian Brenand there. I even heard that Sebastian is a young master from the Brenand family that is famous in Atlantis.” Xyla said truthfully.
The expression on his face did not change. “So?”
“So, I suspect that you’re also some rich family’s young master… A family more powerful than Sebastian’s. I think you're lying to me.” Xyla said straightforwardly.
Ding dong...ding dong…
The doorbell rang.
Stanley did not answer her and got up slowly to open the door.
A few men in black suits stood outside the door.
Except for two guys who rang the doorbell, the rest of the guys were holding square rosewood boxes of different sizes.
“No problem…” Xyla reluctantly moved her eyes away from the items and said as she looked at the staff kindly.
The staff members bowed once more respectfully and left.
After they left, Xyla continued to focus on the goods, neglecting Stanley who was sitting beside her.
“Are all these items what you helped others to bid for?” He asked.
“No… This silver censer is for myself… I plan to give this to someone as a gift.”
“Who?”
Xyla said with a serious expression, “For someone who’s very important to me.”
Seeing as Xyla did not mention who it was, Stanley did not ask anymore. He gazed at the set of blue jewelry. “This set of jewelry suits you well…”
