Caleb Mamet furrowed his brows, secretly clenching his fist.
Ha! So thatâs how he appeared in Mrs. Mametâs eyes.
Caleb said nonchalantly, âIâll drive you.â
But Xaviera Evans sat down on the couch next to him and said leisurely, âLetâs wait a little longer.â
Eight oâclock in the evening.
All the students had arrived at the Evans household, but the main character of the banquet still hadnât arrived. Mag Evans was stomping her feet anxiously, âSis, she isnât going to bail, is she?â
Rose Campbell sighed, âI think Xaviera must have some urgent matter to attend to, thatâs why she didnât come on time. She didnât mean to keep evervone waitinz.â
Everyone frowned, complaining, âXaviera is really rude! She invited us to the banquet but sheâs the first one to be late.â
Mag bit her lip and tried to appease them in a soft voice, âLetâs not rush, my sister will definitely come. Letâs wait a bit longerâŠâ
A student sneered, âAs Miss Evans, she has no manners at all. Itâs different growing up in the countryside! â
âMag, you donât need to defend her. She doesnât care about your feelings.â
Magâs face turned red in a rush, âDonât say that. My sister definitely didnât do it on purpose, listen to me explain..
Bang!
Someone slammed their wine glass down harshly, spilling wine all over the table.
Rose glanced coldly, who was this lacking foresight, not even sparing a face for Mag? Upon closer inspection, it was Irene Hamer. She had to swallow her words.
Behind Irene Hamer was the influence of the Hamer family from the Imperial Capital. She naturally would not dare to offend. Moreover, Irene herself was a musical genius. Therefore, Libanan University invited her to be a guest professor to bring honor to the university.
Mag invited her because of her unique status. With her around, it would be easier to deal with Xaviera, without having to worry about Albert Sullivan.
Therefore, all Rose could do was force a smile, not daring to say anything bad about Irene.
Mag was taken aback for a moment, Irene Hamer and Xavier Hamer both had the same last name, was there a relationship between them?
No, impossible!
Irene was from the Hamer family in the Imperial Capital, while Xavier had been abroad all the time. It must just be a coincidence, there could not be any relationship!
Everyone was silent. Irene said leisurely, âThis cup is nice.â
Derek Evans smiled, not expecting that this cup would catch Ireneâs eye. So, he flattered, âI bid 500,000 dollars for this cup. The one in your hand and the one in Magâs hand are a pair.â
Rose chuckled, âYes, this is the birthday gift that Derek gave me twenty years ago. I thought about bringing it out since we have distinguished guests today.â
Everyone gasped in admiration, how loving the Evans couple was, spending 500,000 dollars on just a pair of cups, it was so extravagant.
Who would have known, Irene said indifferently, âThe white porcelain is intricately carved, the color is clear, indeed worth 500,000 dollars. But twenty years ago, Mr. Evans didnât have any business, how could he afford such expensive cups?â
There was silence around the room.
Irene remained calm, speaking lightly, âI think these should be the precious items bid on by Xavieraâs mother, Mr. Evanâs original wife, right? The fact that you can still keep these cups shows that Mr. Evans still has feelings for his previous wife, how affectionate and righteous you are!â
Everyone looked embarrassed and all eyes turned to Rose.
If they recalled correctly, Rose just said that this cup was a birthday gift from Derek Evans to her.
The attendees were all ordinary students, no matter if it was the Evan family or Irene, they didnât dare offend. Therefore, everyone lowered their heads to drink coffee in silence, not daring to make a sound.
Derek Evans quickly looked at Madam Evans. After all, the old lady was experienced and calculated, sighing lightly, âIâm getting old and canât handle the stress. Where is Xaviera? We agreed on half past seven, but itâs well past eight and thereâs still no sign of herâŠâ
With that. Madam Evans deflected the attention to Xaviera-
Magâs eyes lit up. It didnât matter who the cup belonged to. The key was why Xaviera still hadnât appeared. It was so rude to keep a group of people waiting for her!
Madam Evans sighed in helplessness, âIt seems Xaviera is still blaming me⊠Ah! Derek called and pleaded with her, I thought she would come back. Looking at this situation, itâs still uncertainâŠ.â
