Chapter 200
Come December, it was winter in Belicy.
On December 12, it was Xavier’s 29th birthday.
According to the Beliey social culture, for the sake of good luck, men did not celebrate any birthdays with the digit nine while the women did that for birthdays with the digit ten. Since Xavier was celebrating his 29th birthday, it was taken as his 30th, and a man who was 30 years old would have an unusually grand birthday. For Xavier’s birthday banquet, other than inviting his usual friends, he also invited many leaders from the local arena. It was very lively.
Kylie was also invited.
During this period of time, she had been busy with the release of Galaxy Group’s high-end clothes. Today, she attended the banquet to take a breather.
She was wearing a low-key but noble gown as she walked into the banquet hall.
From afar, she could see Quintina holding Xavier’s hand as they dealt with the guests coming and going.
ly conservative.
Kylie had never seen Quintina in a red gown. Her status as a lawyer made her dress especially Today, she was wearing a red gown that made people’s eyes light up.
For some reason, Kylie felt that her petite figure was quite compatible with Xavier.
The feeling of being the young mistress of a wealthy family was highlighted just like that.
“Kylie.” A familiar male voice sounded in her ear.
Kylie shifted her gaze and looked at Leopold beside her.
Leopold seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
His already fair face seemed to have turned even paler.
“Long time no see,” Kylie greeted.
“Long time no see.” Leopold smiled.
He was elegant and refined.
Kylie felt a slight pain in her chest.
Leopold was actually not considered miserable. Compared to Zola, he was much happier.
However, he gave off a fragile feeling.
“Ethan is here,” Leopold mentioned as he looked at the door.
Kylie looked in the direction of Leopold.

They saw Ethan and Stella appear in the banquet hall together.
In the next moment, Leopold saw that Kylie was already far away.
In the back garden.
Kylie sat on the swing to get some air.
Some business dinners were really boring.
But sometimes, she had no choice but to attend.
Her eyes moved slightly as she watched Quintina walk out. “Kylie.”
Kylie smiled at Quintina. “Are you tired?”
“I’m tired. I feel like my legs are about to break.” Quintina naturally sat beside Kylie.
The two of them swayed on a swing.
“I’m not used to wearing such high heels,” Quintina said bluntly.
“Take them off to relax a little. I used to do this a lot,” Kylie reminded.

Quintina looked around and then took off her shoes. The feeling of bare feet made her feel extremely comfortable.
“Zola seems to be having a good time recently,” Quintina said.
Kylie nodded and smiled. “She’s stronger than we thought.”
“Indeed,” Quintina agreed. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
The two of them chatted in the backyard.
An unknown man suddenly walked up to them.
Kylie felt that he looked familiar, but she was sure that she had never seen him before.
“So you’re hiding here,” the man said to Quintina with a doting tone.
Kylie seemed to feel Quintina’s tension.
So this person and Quintina….
“Quintina, it’s a little cold outside. I’ll go in first,” Kylie said tactfully.
Quintina nodded.
There was a hint of gratitude in Quintina’s eyes.
Kylie got up and left.

As he left, she looked back at Quintina. In the faint light, she saw the glint of tears in her eyes.
“I haven’t seen you for a few years and you’ve grown into a big girl,” the man said with a smile.
His voice was still gentle.
Quintina bit her lip and said after a while, “Damian.”
“I thought you forgot about me.” Damian Vanderbilt smiled. “It’s so cold outside. Let’s go in.”
Quintina bent down to put on her shoes.
“Don’t move,” Damian said to Quintina.
At that moment, she saw Damian squat down and pick up her heels.
Damian’s slender fingers supported Quintina’s feet as he helped her put them on.
“Damian, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to treat your sister-in-law like this.”
In the quiet atmosphere, a voice unexpectedly rang out.
It was neither warm nor warm, and it even carried a teasing tone.
The two of them turned around and saw Xavier standing not far away. With his height advantage, he looked down at them from above.
“I’ve treated Quintina as my younger sister since I was a child.”
“But she’s my wife now, your sister-in-law.” Xavier looked sloppy, but his tone was serious. “Leave such tasks to me.”
As he spoke, Xavier walked up to them.
Damian’s fingers moved slightly, but he still placed the high heels on the ground.
He got up to leave.
“By the way, Damian, the girlfriend you brought back is still looking for you in the lobby. It’s her first time here and she’s unfamiliar with the place. You have to keep her company,” Xavier said sarcastically.
Damian didn’t say anything and left.
Xavier turned to look at Quintina. Seeing that she was obviously stunned, he smiled sarcastically. “Why? Can’t accept that he has a girlfriend?”
Quintina snapped out of her thoughts.
In an instant, she concealed all her emotions.
In front of Xavier, she was like an emotionless tool.
Xavier sneered. When he turned to leave, he looked back at Quintina. “Still not catching up? Why? Do you

really think I’ll squat down and help you put on your shoes?”
Quintina had never thought about it.
She had no feelings for Xavier. Not only that, but Xavier had hated her since she was young.
If it weren’t for the change in her family, she wouldn’t have married Xavier.
Quintina quickly put on her high heels.
She put them on and got up.
“Ouch,” Quintina said.
She rarely wore such high heels. Today, she had worn it for dinner, and the skin on her heel was already
broken.
ey simply
It was fine when she didn’t take them off, but when she took them off and put them on again, they killed her.
Xavier looked back at her.
With one hand in his pocket, he looked at Quintina with a cold expression.
No one noticed that his fingers, which were in his pocket, tightened and tightened.
Quintina was not a pretentious person.
She quickly accepted the pain and followed Xavier into the hall.
The hall was still bustling with activity.
Quintina held Xavier’s hand and went to socialize.
Other than the Vanderbilt family’s banquet, she and Xavier would never appear together, let alone be so close to each other.
They walked towards the Vanderbilt family members.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, Donna Hickman, was overjoyed to see her eldest son, Damian, return.
Damian was accompanied by a petite woman. Beside Damian, she smiled sweetly.
“Xavier, Quintina, come over quickly. Your brother especially came back to celebrate your birthday.” Donna hurriedly called out to them.
Xavier walked over casually with Quintina and said sarcastically, “My brother is such an outstanding person. You’re dedicated to the country. I’m really flattered that you took the time to celebrate my birthday.”
