Chapter 753: Chapter 753: This is Destiny!
Quivering with fear, Lester Bank ordered, “No matter what method you use, you must find the person who painted for you! Go look for him immediately!”
…
Meanwhile, Xaviera Evans went to the corridor and made a call to Caleb Mamet.
After listening to Xaviera’s account, Caleb’s expression did not change. He didn’t care at all who took that painting away. Even selling it would be no big issue. However, he didn’t expect that Tracy Swift would steal the painting and become Lester Bank’s disciple through it.
The man’s voice was slightly heavy, “You don’t have to worry about it, I’ll handle it.”
Xaviera asked curiously, “Caleb, Mrs. Jaak said that our painting is very similar to Cold Night’s style. Are you a fan of his too?”
“Why?”
Xaviera became suspicious, then asked further, “What is the relationship between you and Cold Night? Do you know him?”
Caleb chuckled, “Mrs. Mamet, I don’t know whether to call you clever or stupid. Haven’t you figured it out yet?”
The man’s lips curved into a faint smile. He thought Xaviera should have guessed that he was Cold Night. Both of them had the character ‘Cold’ in their names. What a coincidence!
Upon hearing his words, Xaviera suddenly realized, “Could it be that you are his disciple?”
Xaviera asked excitedly, “How did you get to know him? What kind of person is he? How old is he? Can I meet him?”
Caleb: “…” Is he really that different from Cold Night?
After hanging up the phone, Xaviera was about to leave when a tender voice came from behind, “Xaviera?”
Tracy Swift looked at her with a full-faced smile, “Who were you talking to on the phone? I think I heard you mention Cold Night. Do you like him too?”
“Actually, I’ve known for a long time that you like painting. That’s why I asked if you wanted to learn. As long as you want to, I can help you find an outstanding teacher. The ones attending the apprenticeship banquet today are all renowned painters. This is a great opportunity!”
Xaviera turned around, her eyes filled with icy coldness and a mocking smile on her lips.
Unfazed by Xaviera’s disdain, Tracy Swift patiently said, “If you’re afraid that those teachers won’t accept you, it’s okay. After all, you’re a beginner. You can start by learning from their disciples. Once you’ve made progress, I’ll recommend you to other teachers.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Xaviera, as long as you like painting, just go ahead and learn. I’ll do my best to help you.”
Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh and said casually, “Miss Swift, eavesdropping on someone else’s conversation is not something a lady should do. What’s more, have I asked you to help me find a teacher?”
Facing Xaviera’s dismissive expression, Tracy Swift’s heart burned with anger. However, she still suppressed her fury. Then suddenly, she looked like she was on the verge of tears, “Xaviera, I… ”
“Tracy.” At that moment, Mrs. Swift and the guests walked towards them.
Seeing her daughter’s wronged expression and red eyes, Mrs. Swift’s face darkened, “What’s going on?”
Tracy bit her lip and said with grievance, “I happened to hear Xaviera on the phone mentioning her love for oil painting, so I wanted to recommend her a teacher, but she… ”
Suddenly, Tracy choked up as if she were deeply wronged.
Mrs. Swift frowned, glanced unhappily at Xaviera, but found it inappropriate to confront her in front of the other guests. She then said calmly, “Miss Evans, even though Tracy may have been somewhat intrusive, she meant well. If you don’t want to accept that, why say hurtful words?”
Xaviera’s eyes turned cold as she impatiently replied, “When did Mrs. Swift hear me say anything hurtful? And why should I accept her recommended teacher?”
Mrs. Swift frowned with displeasure.
Tobey Swift, unable to hold back his anger, yelled, “Xaviera! What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you talk to your elders? You have no manners at all! I think you’re just jealous that my sister became Mr. Lester Bank’s disciple, so you want to bully her! Look at yourself in the mirror before comparing yourself to my sister!”
“Mr. Lester Bank would never accept someone like you as his disciple! You’re nothing but a bully!”
Xaviera almost laughed from anger and was about to counter back when she saw someone hurrying over from a distance. It was Lester Bank’s assistant, Andy Donley.
Seeing Andy approaching, Tobey felt even more triumphant, “Sis, why should we bother arguing with someone like her? Look, Assistant Donley is coming to find you!”
What do you think?
