Chapter 426



Late at night, the Carter Residence was brightly lit.

Xyla was dressed neatly. Sitting at her dressing table, she yawned. A maid was doing her hair.

"So late, and still making a fuss," she grumbled.

The maid, who looked to be in her forties and seemed to have worked for Xyla for a long time, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Carter, it's the first time Mr. Sebastian is bringing his girlfriend home. He must be eager for you to meet her."

"He brings a girlfriend home just after a marriage has been arranged for him. How timely." Xyla picked up a diamond hairpin from the dressing table, and put it against her hair. "I'll wear this one."

Xyla went downstairs with her maid's help. Everyone in the living room was seated nicely.

Xyla looked her up and down. "You're Sebastian's girlfriend?"
