Chapter 959 -959: The Meaning of Competition is Fairness

Xaviera Evans had just stepped out of the make-up room when she ran into Eve Doleman’s manager, who stood in front of her with a belligerent stance, looking for trouble.

Xaviera raised her eyes, coolly scanning the other party, “Please step aside.”

The manager scrutinized Xaviera, indeed she was very beautiful, ranking among the best even among female celebrities. It didn’t matter if she was a designer, her face alone was enough to threaten Eve.

Strangely, the manager also found this little designer somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

“Hey! Girl, I’d like to remind you, it’s enough to just show up for today’s competition. Don’t take it too seriously,” the arrogant manager warned.

“Why?” Xaviera asked impassively.

The manager burst out laughing at her question, as if she had heard a joke: “What gives you the right to ask? This show was tailored for our Eve, she’s the eventual winner. So, your struggles are in vain, you won’t become the champion.”

“I know you’re a designer and naturally proud, but understand this: this is a variety show. Rank doesn’t matter here. Among the contestants, Eve is the most famous. No one else dares to challenge her, and you’re no exception!”

“I warn you, be careful during today’s competition. Regardless of your abilities, you must contain yourself. If you steal Eve’s thunder, you will face the consequences!”

Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh: “Isn’t the purpose of the competition fairness? If the outcome can be manipulated, what’s the point?”

“Point?” The manager was taken aback for a few seconds before laughing crazily: “What’s the use of fairness?! The audience wants to see Eve. Who wants to see you!? Regardless of whether you accept it, the ultimate winner can only be Eve. If you dare steal her thunder, prepare to be humiliated on stage.”

“Eve has influential backers, and the support of the Hughes family. What do you have to compete with her? I advise you to know your place and stop struggling futilely.”

Xaviera chuckled lightly. She didn’t have much interest in this variety show and hadn’t thought about becoming champion. But now, provoked by someone who didn’t know their place, she was tempted to take on a challenge.

Moreover, hearing from the manager that the actress had the surname Doleman and belonged to the Hughes family, there was even less reason for Xaviera to back down.

The manager turned around and left, seemingly certain that Xaviera had been intimidated by Eve’s identity, thus she wouldn’t dare to challenge their authority.

…

Xaviera was waiting backstage to enter the design area when she received a call from an unknown number.

“Miss Evans, hello, it’s Jaba! Do you remember me?” The voice on the other end of the line was a middle-aged man, but he spoke very respectfully.

Xaviera thought for a few seconds before realizing that Jaba was the director of Torree City TV station. She chuckled, “Oh, it’s you, Jaba!”

Jaba was extremely excited: “Miss Evans, it’s been six years since we last met. I’m honored that you came to Torree City to participate in the program! If it wasn’t for you and Elijah Flack saving my daughter, she wouldn’t have survived. You two are our family’s saviors.”

Xaviera’s memories came flooding back. When she was young, she loved to play around, finding life on Lohill too boring. Whenever Elijah filmed, she used to accompany him. During an explosive scene that went awry causing a fire and panic evacuations, Xaviera rushed into the fire after hearing a little girl’s cry. Elijah, worried about her safety, followed suit. Fortunately, they successfully rescued the girl and both were unscathed. That little girl’s father was Jaba.

Xaviera laughed modestly: “I just did what I could.”

Jaba continued enthusiastically: “Miss Evans, I’ve previously invited Mr. Flack over for dinner and he always declined. I didn’t expect both siblings to be here this time. After the program, if you have time, could you join us for a meal? My daughter really wants to thank you in person.”

“I heard that you’re the famous fashion designer from Lohill, you’re amazing! With your status, you should have been a mentor! Why are you a participant? You’re really extraordinary! My daughter looks up to you as a role model! She wants to be as excellent as you!”

Xaviera smiled softly: “The mentors have already been chosen. Being a contestant is also quite good!”
