Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Miss Evans, I want to take you as my disciple!
Tracy Swift slowly turned around, ready to welcome Andy Donley, but before she could speak, he walked past her and directly approached Xaviera Evans, āMiss Evans, Iām Mr. Lester Bankās assistant. Our master would like to meet with you. Would you have time?ā
The smile on Tracyās face vanished in an instant, and she could hardly control her expression, which gradually became distorted.
The guests were also dumbfounded. Assistant Donley was actually here for Xaviera?
Seeing Tracyās changing expression, Xaviera hooked the corner of her lips and smiled, āOf course I have time. Letās go.ā
Assistant Donley, with a joyful face, completely disregarded saying hello to Tracy and respectfully led Xaviera away. The two quickly disappeared from everyoneās sight.
Tracy bowed her head, her body slightly trembling. Her heart was filled with anger and unwillingness like a cold tide, and it took her a long while to calm down. She apologetically smiled at everyone: āIām sorry, Iāll go check it out too, maybe the teacher has something important to discuss.ā
At this moment, her heart was pounding violently. She had a bad feeling. Why did her teacher want to see Xaviera? Was it because of the painting?
How could it be? How could the teacher know that the painting was made by Xaviera? Even if Xaviera told the teacher, the teacher might not necessarily believe Xaviera had such a skill!
Tracy kept telling herself that she must stay calm and not allow Xaviera to seize any advantage, or her reputation would be ruined completely.
On the other hand, Xaviera followed Assistant Donley into a small private room next to the No.1 Private Room. Lester Bank was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by several disciples.
As her grandfather said, Lesterās paintings were good, but his character was indeed questionable. His reputation had gradually declined over the years, and at this moment, he desperately needed an outstanding disciple to help him regain his reputation.
Seeing Xaviera enter, Lesterās face filled with kindness and he spoke gently, āMiss Evans, did you paint this rose?ā
Xaviera glanced at the vivid rose she had painted, and she thought that Lester had come to ask about the rose garden painting but didnāt expect it to be about the rose.
āI painted it.ā
Lesterās eyes filled with surprise. If she had painted this rose, then the Rose Garden must be her work too.
Whether it was her work or not actually didnāt matter anymore. As long as she could paint this rose, that would be enough to explain everything. The next second, Lester proudly said, āMiss Evans, I want to take you as my disciple.ā
It was at this moment that Tracy arrived at the door and heard his words.
āLater, Iāll announce your identity at the apprenticeship banquet. This time, the banquet will be for both you and Tracy. From now on, youāll follow me and learn. If you perform well, I can even hold another grand apprenticeship banquet for you.ā
Tracy felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit, her whole body cold and trembling.
No! This canāt be happening!
The guests, who had followed her closely, also heard this and were looking at each other in disbelief. Wasnāt this apprenticeship banquet for Tracy alone? How did Xaviera suddenly appear?
Xavieraās eyes were indifferent, but her lips curled into a smile.
From her angle, Tracy could see Xavieraās smile, and it felt like her heartbeat was about to stop. Had her teacher already discovered her deception? Was that why heād taken Xaviera as his disciple? Would Tracy be kicked out?
At this moment, Tracy could no longer contain herself, and she hurriedly rushed forward. āXaviera, I thought you were my friend! You talked behind my back to the teacher, causing him to misunderstand me! Canāt you stand seeing me succeed?ā
She was sure that Xaviera had accused her in front of the teacher; otherwise, why would he suddenly want to take Xaviera as his disciple?
She couldnāt just sit and wait for her doom. She had to take the initiative and fight back, or Xaviera would ruin her!
Tobey Swift, usually calm, couldnāt help lashing out, āXaviera, you bitch! Youāre just jealous that my sister is becoming Apprentice to Master Bank! How could you be so evil!ā
Even the always composed Tracy couldnāt hold back any longer. Everyone in Libanan knew she was to become Lesterās disciple, and the apprenticeship banquet was held especially for her. Now, with Xavieraās sudden appearance, the story would spread, and the upper-class noble ladies would surely ridicule her.
At this moment, Tracy didnāt care about her image. She quickly explained, āTeacher, no matter what Xaviera says, please donāt believe her. There are some misunderstandings between us, and she has always been targeting me! The Rose Garden painting is really my work!ā
The room was completely silent, and the disciples around Lester changed their expressions, unable to speak due to embarrassment.
