Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Love Knows No Bounds of Social Status
Willie Novak walked out of the restroom, with his assistant lowering his head and following behind him.
On the way, Willie Novakâs expression was gloomy, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
He made a mistake. If he had known that Xaviera would attend the auction today, he wouldnât have let Penny Kalafatis come out. Now that he had angered Xaviera, would she blame him too?
Caleb Mamet and Willie Novak arrived at the scene one after another, and the place was very noisy at the moment.
Ten minutes ago.
Xaviera heard Pennyâs voice, looking impatient. Before Xaviera could say anything, Penny walked straight to her, with a haughty and somewhat hypocritical posture, and said, "Xaviera, how come you didnât contact me when you came to Yittaland! I thought I was seeing things just now! Did you come here on purpose because you knew Willie and I were here?"
Director Linstad frowned, "Mrs. Novak, we-"
Penny shook her head and laughed: "Xaviera, it was our fault back then, we didnât consider you. But love is uncontrollable. I donât know what happened between you and Willie in the past, but he hasnât brought it up in all these years. I can understand that youâre upset, but weâre friends after all. Why should you cut off contact with us because of this?"
Director Linstad was shocked: "!!"
The crowd present was also dumbfounded. Mrs. Novak meant that this woman in front of them used to be a friend of Mr. Novak, and had pursued him, but after Mr. Novak chose Mrs. Novak, they no longer had any contact?
Could it be that thereâs an indescribable romance between them?
Xavieraâs porcelain white face was full of annoyance, her slender eyebrows furrowed as she turned around to leave. But Penny unexpectedly grabbed her wrist, her eyes filled with provocation but her tone was very gentle, "Xaviera, itâs time to let go of the past. Willie is very busy with work, Iâm afraid you wonât see him today. If you want to meet him, I wonât stop you, but youâd better not meet alone."
Seeing this situation, Director Linstad also understood Pennyâs intentions. She was afraid that her wife and Mr. Novak would rekindle their previous relationship, so she deliberately came forward to show off and warn her.
Naturally, the crowd present understood her meaning, and looked at Xaviera with scrutiny and disdain.
Those who could attend this auction were all nobles with a good social standing in Yittaland that had been invited. But they had never seen Xaviera, and had never even heard of Mr. Novak having such a friend.
Could this woman have sneaked in to see Mr. Novak?
As Penny also noticed this, she immediately asked suspiciously, "By the way, Xaviera, do you have an invitation? Did you sneak in?"
"I donât have an invitation," Xaviera answered truthfully.
This was an auction hosted by the Mamet Groupâs Subsidiary. She was Caleb Mametâs wife and the lady of the Mamet Corporation, naturally not needing an invitation.
However, this sentence took on a different meaning when Penny heard it.
Penny smiled smugly, and immediately looked arrogantly at Xaviera, and spoke earnestly, "Xaviera, how could you do such a thing? If you really wanted to come in, you could have called me in advance, and I would have brought you in. Why did you sneak in?"
"I donât know how you managed to get in, but youâre unfamiliar with Yittaland. If youâre discovered, itâs possible that youâll be taken to the police station. Plus, those who come to the auction are all local nobles with good social status, most of whom are married. You, a young girl, should be more careful about your image. Others will only respect you if you respect yourself. Donât be so impulsive in the future, and come to me if you have any trouble."
Pennyâs meaning was very clear. Either Xaviera had bypassed security to get in, or she had come in relying on a manâs connections. Hearing this, Director Linstad was immediately infuriated, and quickly tried to explain, "Mrs. Novak, this person is-"
Before the words were finished, Xaviera waved her hand, and looked at Penny with a smile, "How I entered and whether it has anything to do with Mrs. Novak? How can you be so sure that Iâm involved with a married man?"
"Mrs. Novak, what do you mean by mentioning my past with Willie Novak in public? Do you want to suppress me or demonstrate your sovereignty and warn me?"
Seeing Xavieraâs arrogant tone, Pennyâs eyes reddened in an instant, and she said with a sense of grievance, "Xaviera, youâve misunderstood me. Those things from the past... theyâre all over, letâs not talk about them anymore. I only said those things just now for your own good. After all, weâre friends, and I donât want you to go down the wrong path."
"Indeed, my status is humble. Iâm an orphan abandoned by others. I donât deserve Willie, but thereâs no distinction between rich and poor in love. I should also have the right to pursue happiness."
