Chapter 753: Chapter 753: This is Destiny!
Quivering with fear, Lester Bank ordered, âNo matter what method you use, you must find the person who painted for you! Go look for him immediately!â

Meanwhile, Xaviera Evans went to the corridor and made a call to Caleb Mamet.
After listening to Xavieraâs account, Calebâs expression did not change. He didnât care at all who took that painting away. Even selling it would be no big issue. However, he didnât expect that Tracy Swift would steal the painting and become Lester Bankâs disciple through it.
The manâs voice was slightly heavy, âYou donât have to worry about it, Iâll handle it.â
Xaviera asked curiously, âCaleb, Mrs. Jaak said that our painting is very similar to Cold Nightâs style. Are you a fan of his too?â
âWhy?â
Xaviera became suspicious, then asked further, âWhat is the relationship between you and Cold Night? Do you know him?â
Caleb chuckled, âMrs. Mamet, I donât know whether to call you clever or stupid. Havenât you figured it out yet?â
The manâs lips curved into a faint smile. He thought Xaviera should have guessed that he was Cold Night. Both of them had the character âColdâ in their names. What a coincidence!
Upon hearing his words, Xaviera suddenly realized, âCould it be that you are his disciple?â
Xaviera asked excitedly, âHow did you get to know him? What kind of person is he? How old is he? Can I meet him?â
Caleb: ââŠâ 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, âXaviera?â
Tracy Swift looked at her with a full-faced smile, âWho were you talking to on the phone? I think I heard you mention Cold Night. Do you like him too?â
âActually, Iâve known for a long time that you like painting. Thatâs 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!â
Xaviera turned around, her eyes filled with icy coldness and a mocking smile on her lips.
Unfazed by Xavieraâs disdain, Tracy Swift patiently said, âIf youâre afraid that those teachers wonât accept you, itâs okay. After all, youâre a beginner. You can start by learning from their disciples. Once youâve made progress, Iâll recommend you to other teachers.â
âXaviera, as long as you like painting, just go ahead and learn. Iâll do my best to help you.â
Xaviera couldnât help but laugh and said casually, âMiss Swift, eavesdropping on someone elseâs conversation is not something a lady should do. Whatâs more, have I asked you to help me find a teacher?â
Facing Xavieraâs dismissive expression, Tracy Swiftâs heart burned with anger. However, she still suppressed her fury. Then suddenly, she looked like she was on the verge of tears, âXaviera, I⊠â
âTracy.â At that moment, Mrs. Swift and the guests walked towards them.
Seeing her daughterâs wronged expression and red eyes, Mrs. Swiftâs face darkened, âWhatâs going on?â
Tracy bit her lip and said with grievance, âI happened to hear Xaviera on the phone mentioning her love for oil painting, so I wanted to recommend her a teacher, but she⊠â
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, âMiss Evans, even though Tracy may have been somewhat intrusive, she meant well. If you donât want to accept that, why say hurtful words?â
Xavieraâs eyes turned cold as she impatiently replied, âWhen did Mrs. Swift hear me say anything hurtful? And why should I accept her recommended teacher?â
Mrs. Swift frowned with displeasure.
Tobey Swift, unable to hold back his anger, yelled, âXaviera! What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you talk to your elders? You have no manners at all! I think youâre just jealous that my sister became Mr. Lester Bankâs disciple, so you want to bully her! Look at yourself in the mirror before comparing yourself to my sister!â
âMr. Lester Bank would never accept someone like you as his disciple! Youâre nothing but a bully!â
Xaviera almost laughed from anger and was about to counter back when she saw someone hurrying over from a distance. It was Lester Bankâs assistant, Andy Donley.
Seeing Andy approaching, Tobey felt even more triumphant, âSis, why should we bother arguing with someone like her? Look, Assistant Donley is coming to find you!â
