âBesides, I never said I was Lohillâs disciple. Itâs the teachers at school who claimed that Miss Lohill admired my talent and wanted to guide me. Somehow, this news spread, and my classmates came to congratulate me on becoming Miss Lohillâs disciple. I wanted to explain that I wasnât, but they just said I was being humble, and I really couldnât argue. â
Xaviera sniffed, tears glazing her eyes: âIf Iâd been able to predict this, I wouldâve definitely explained everything to my classmates one by one, no matter how tedious it wouldâve been, clarifying that Miss Lohill hadnât taken me as her disciple.â
Xaviera portrayed herself as the perfect victimâthe teachers at the school misled her into thinking she was Lohillâs disciple, her classmates spread the rumors, she tried to explain, but they refused to listen, leading to the current situation.
âYeah, in this matter, Mag is also a victim,â Rose sighed. âItâs just that Xaviera doesnât seem to think so. Iâm afraid sheâs already distanced herself from us. Otherwise, she wouldnât have kept such big news as being Lohillâs disciple a secret. If she didnât tell us because she minded our backgrounds, itâs still understandable, but hiding it from even DerekâŠâ
Didnât she treat Derek Evans as family?
Derekâs face darkened instantly, and Rose watched him with a subtle smile. The fact that QAdera was an internationally-acclaimed designer indeed surprised Rose. She was afraid that Derek might think Xavieraâs identity still had some value to be exploited, and could bring her back into the fold. If that happened, sheâd be infuriated.
Would doing so bring further assistance or bring an enemy into their midst?
Moore Mametâs relaxed brows tightened again: âAunt Roseâs words make perfect sense. The Xaviera we know now isnât the Xaviera we used to know; she has changed too much.â
Overhearing them discussing Xaviera again, Xaviera couldnât help biting her lip: âBut Dad, Moore, the top priority now is those rumors out there. They say Iâm scheming and vain, but itâs not my fault! Itâs my sister who deliberately misguided me⊠Of course, I donât mean to blame her. I just think the two of us shouldnât have ended up like this. Canât we just work things out by talking?â
Moore Mamet comforted her with a touch: âDonât worry, Mag. This isnât your fault. Itâs a trap set by Xaviera. Youâre too pure and kindhearted to outplay her.â After saying this, he turned to Derek again: âUncle, we need to contact Black
Tide as soon as possible. Some matters can be easily resolved if they step in.â
Moved, Xaviera leaned against Mooreâs shoulder: âThank you, Moore. I wouldnât know what to do without you.â
Moore enjoyed Xavieraâs utter reliance on him. However, in a corner he couldnât see, Xaviera and Rose exchanged a silent look. Get Black Tide involved? They hadnât forgotten the last time theyâd had to pay the steep price for that.
Xaviera and Rose came up with an excellent plan: even without Black Tide, they could solve the current problem. That bitch Xaviera thought she could have it easy just by being Lohillâs disciple? They had ways to ruin her reputation!
The next day, Xaviera grabbed her bag, prepared to leave for classes at Libanan University. Her identity had been exposed, so she didnât need to give lectures online. The school had also contacted her, saying the students wanted her to explain the course in person.
Xaviera couldnât refuse, so she had to report to the school on time.
Caleb Mamet knew Xaviera was leaving, so he motioned to the driver, James, to send her safely to school.
âMaâam, weâve arrived,â said James.
Driver James parked the car in front of Libanan University, and Xaviera thanked him. As she got out of the car, she keenly noticed a flash of light behind a tree on the opposite side of the street.
Half an hour later, an anonymous post appeared on Libanan Universityâs official forum.
âShocking! A famous fashion designer is actually a mistress kept by an old man! Such a person is not fit to be a teacher!
Below the post were pictures of Xaviera getting out of a luxury car, driven by an older man. The car wasnât something just anyone with money could buy.
The old driver was too far away to see his face clearly, but you could see silver streaks in his hair, suggesting he was probably around forty or fifty years old. His suit was a tailor-made designer piece that ordinary people couldnât afford.
In just a few minutes, the post had more than a hundred replies.
[Huh? Isnât this Miss Lohill? Would someone of her status really need to be kept?]
[Designers are people too, and to maintain her prestige, Miss Lohill produces very few design sketches in a year. Itâs not entirely impossible that she might face financial difficulties.]
[But this old man looks ugly and outdated. The only thing he seems to have is money. There must be richer people out there, so Miss Lohill doesnât have to be with him.]
[Maybe Miss Lohill has heavier tastes, haha..]
