Chapter 1057: Chapter 1050: Revisiting the Libanan University Cheating Incident
The daughters present suddenly widened their eyes in displeasure, as they couldnât stand Zora Hughesâs feigned sense of superiority. However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldnât cause trouble at the Hughes familyâs apprenticeship banquet, because the Hughes family was powerful, and offending them would affect their family business.
Sebastian Legend smugly spoke up, "Besides, even Mr. Stern said that Mr. Warwick will definitely come."
Sitting in the corner, Kevin Stern hadnât expected Madam Hughes to mention him. Although he was a member of the National Calligraphy and Painting Association, he was at the very bottom, with mediocre talent and no exceptional teacherâs recommendation, so he had been stagnating.
But he was not willing to be looked down upon for his whole life, so he wanted to come and please Manning Warwickâs disciple.
He also heard that Manning Warwick had a senior apprentice sister, whom he respected a lot. If he could get acquainted with her, it would be a better choice. However, Manning Warwick was very difficult to meet, let alone the mysterious elder sister.
Before this, Kevin Stern had thought about whether Manning Warwickâs gifts were for his senior sister, but since she was called a senior sister, her age must be older than Manning Warwick. But those gifts were prepared for young girls, so he guessed that the gifts were for the disciple.
In these days, Manning Warwick only contacted the Hughes family, and the Hughes family made a high-profile affair, hosting an apprenticeship banquet. If they didnât have full confidence, how could they casually organize an apprenticeship banquet?
Moreover, Miss Hughes was indeed outstanding. She achieved a lot at a young age, and her reputation abroad was also very impressive. Even if Manning Warwick didnât want to take her as a disciple, after knowing her achievements, he might consider it.
A few seconds of silence, Kevin Stern laughed and said, "Thatâs right, we all heard that Mr. Warwick is looking for an apprentice, and Miss Hughes is so excellent, Mr. Warwick will definitely come."
The Hughes family became more relaxed when they heard this, and the daughters who just watched the joke were scolded by their parents, and they lowered their heads in grievance.
The crowd took turns flattering and appeasing the Hughes family, praising Zora Hughes for her excellence.
Sebastian Legend looked at her granddaughter, proudly shaking her head. Her granddaughter was not worse than those brats from the Russell family. Soon Zora would become Manning Warwickâs disciple, which was a stepping stone to enter the art circle. In no time, with Zoraâs abilities, she would stand out and rise up.
On the other hand, Xaviera Evansâs reputation was ruined due to cheating, and it was impossible for her to enter the art circle. Probably even the design circle wouldnât accommodate her. Even if she had some talent, what could she do?
Letitia Russell was still inferior to her!
Sebastian Legendâs excitement grew as she thought about it, knowing that the Russell family was holding a birthday party at Cloud House at the moment. She desperately wanted the Russell family to see how outstanding her granddaughter was. She was eager to show off and wanted to use Zora Hughes to slap Letitia Russell in the face.
Madam Hughes trembled with excitement, losing herself in the crowdâs flattery, and boasted, "Thatâs right, our Zora is excellent, unlike some people who cheated in Libanan Universityâs competition, bringing shame to the Hughes family. Although she was also a child of the Hughes family, she is far inferior to Zora. I donât know if it was because she owed Zora in a previous life. She obviously wasnât raised by the Hughes family, but every time she messed up, everyone in the Hughes family had to suffer with her!"
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.
Zora Hughes remained silent, her expression still gentle, but the corner of her mouth hooked up in a triumphant smile, because she knew what her grandmother was going to say next.
The crowd, hearing Madam Hughesâs words, were slightly startled, and then someone asked curiously, "Is Madam talking about the cheating incident at Libanan University?"
Seeing someone asking, Sebastian Legend quickly suppressed the smile on her face and said indignantly, "Yes, not only did she cheat, she also implicated Zora. Zora is her sister, how could she not think about Zora when she does things? She might not be afraid of ruining her own reputation, but our Zora has always worked so hard. Why should she bear the consequences of her sisterâs mistakes?"
"Fortunately, Mr. Warwick is magnanimous and knows that the sisters didnât grow up together and have very different personalities. Otherwise, our Zoraâs apprenticeship banquet might have been affected!"
Zora Hughes hurriedly stepped forward to make peace for Sebastian Legend, and then helplessly laughed, "Grandma, itâs all in the past. Why bother getting angry? Besides, my sister didnât grow up in the Hughes family and didnât receive the right education, so itâs normal for her to have picked up some bad habits. We can just teach her properly in the future and let her correct her mistakes."
As for the cheating incident at Libanan University, Kevin Stern had a puzzled expression, "What exactly happened?"
