Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

"Now that I've explained every detail, was there any part you didn't understand?" the store manager asked respectfully. After all, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were going to rake in a lot of revenue for her.

"No, I understood everything," Lynette replied hastily with a wave of her hand.

She was afraid she would pass out if the manager continued talking.

"That's great!"

Nodding, she picked up the purse to study it carefully. It was definitely of superior quality in terms of design and material.

"Indeed, it lives up to being the most valued treasure of this store," she murmured. "Leon, I've made my choice, but I want two purses, is that okay? I really like both colors." She held up two purses, one in each hand.

One was the aqua blue purse with rippled patterns, while the other was the most expensive one in the store.

"Sure, as long as you're happy," Leon answered casually, seemingly unbothered by the amount of money he was about to spend.

His cavalier attitude sparked another bout of whispers and surprised gasps around them.

"That's so cool! How could he spoil her like that? Whoever becomes his girlfriend in the future will be very happy indeed!"

"Yeah, I can tell by how he treats his little sister. I wonder who'd be the lucky girl!"

"Sigh. People like us can forget it. Only gorgeous women deserve handsome men of his class!"

Leon behaved as if he didn't hear them. He'd gotten used to being the center of attention since he was a kid.

Calmly, he retrieved a card from his pocket. It was all black with golde engravings on the edges. It looked unique.

"This-isn't that the legendary Niello VIP card?" somebody in the crowd asked.

Not just anyone could own the Niello VIP card.

There were only five such cards in existence. It was surreal for this young student to just happened to own one.

"He's handsome and rich. How can someone's future husband be that perfect?"

"Forget it and stop thinking about it. He's so handsome and rich. He would never even spare us a glance."

"I'm truly envious of his future girlfriend. I'm sure she would be a happy lady. I'm already jealous!"

The women in the store were all

drawn to Leon, but he didn't think much of it. Suddenly, a thought

struck him right when he was about to pay with his card.

He turned to gaze at the arrogant sales assistant from before.

"Do you remember what you said?" he asked coldly.

He didn't hold back his hostility toward her because he never liked people who looked down on others.

"Oh, yeah. I nearly forgot," his sister exclaimed while facepalming her forehead.

The sales assistant had a horrified expression on her face. She felt deeply embarrassed.

Why did she have to open her big mouth?

"I-"

Standing in front of so many people, two high school students,

including

she

y couldn't bring

to do

such a humiliating thing.
