Chapter 1403: Chapter 1403: The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Todd Reiser excitedly said, "Caleb, you guys are here too! I’m so thrilled! Did you find out that Fiona is Doctor Faces and that’s why you came to see her?"

The crowd instinctively parted to make way. Even if they didn’t know who this ’Caleb’ was, judging from Todd’s reaction, they knew he must be a big shot.

But weren’t Caleb Mamet and the Reiser family supposed to have cut ties? It appears rumors really can’t be trusted.

Wayne Reiser gave a hearty laugh, "Caleb, Xaviera, it’s really great that you two could come. Xaviera, did you bring that painting?"

Xaviera Evans also put on a fake smile, "Of course I brought it. After all, Miss Reiser is so talented, she should be able to help me restore this painting."

"Good." Wayne Reiser nodded, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Xaviera looked at Fiona Reiser and laughed meaningfully, "So Miss Reiser is Doctor Faces? I heard that Doctor Faces made a big stir by restoring an ancient manuscript years ago!"

Since Caleb showed up, Fiona’s gaze had been fixated on him, a mixture of desire and regret. She had to forcefully suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

With her eyes full of Caleb, Fiona didn’t hear what Xaviera had said. She quickly gathered her wits and asked, "What did you say?"

I was just wondering how Miss Reiser suddenly became Doctor Faces. It’s quite a surprise!"

The crowd looked at each other. Why did Mrs. Mamet’s words sound so strange?

Fiona, still focused on Caleb without giving much thought to Xaviera’s words, assumed Xaviera was just envious of her, so she just laughed it off. "Xaviera, I’ve been involved in cultural relics restoration since I was little; I’ve always been Doctor Faces. It’s just been too busy with the company affairs over these years to deal with anything else. This event is particularly important, and I happened to be in Libanan, so I decided to participate."

Fiona took out the red invitation with gold embossing in public. The name on it was Doctor Faces, without a real name. Everyone knew the invitation was personally delivered by the restoration department staff, who would carefully check the identity. Since Miss Reiser could show the invitation, it indicated that she was Doctor Faces.

Now, Mrs. Mamet shouldn’t have anything to say, right?

Fiona’s gaze fell on Xaviera, expecting that if she questioned her in front of everyone, others would stop her without her saying anything.

After a few seconds of silence, Xaviera simply said indifferently, "Oh, is that so?"

For some reason, Fiona suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart. Afraid to be found out, she could only squeeze out a smile, "Caleb, I didn’t tell you in advance because I thought you wouldn’t come. I didn’t expect you to come to support me."

Caleb Mamet’s expression was indifferent, without a word, and not even a glance was spared for her.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward. It was Xaviera who broke the silence, "Miss Reiser, I heard that Doctor Faces restored a manuscript that many master level people couldn’t. There are still many un-restored cultural relics in this event. I hope Miss Reiser will show her skills and let us see the world."

Fiona was slightly startled, but still smiled gently, "Of course I can."

Xaviera’s eyes were full of mockery. With Fiona’s flamboyant nature, she would definitely boast about being Doctor Faces and hope to become famous overnight by having reporters cover the story.

However.....the higher one climbs, the harder one falls. Xaviera was really looking forward to seeing Fiona’s expression when she was exposed.

It was the first day of the conference, the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, and the scene was a bit noisy. Xaviera found a quiet place to sit down.

There was a group of people nearby making a noise, "I can’t believe Doctor Faces really came! And she’s a young girl in her twenties!"

"She’s the daughter of the Reiser family! Not only is she super talented, but she’s also pretty. I heard she could potentially become the inheritor of the Reiser family!"

"Ah! How can the gap between people be so big? She’s noble, rich, beautiful, and so outstanding. This person is too perfect, it’s unbearable!"

"This is a real-life rich and beautiful woman - absolute wealth and beauty!"

"By the way, isn’t the mysterious magnate, Twilight, also coming? I heard his status is very high too. If he’s handsome and stands next to Miss Reiser, they’ll be a match made in heaven!"

Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Fiona smirked proudly, then glanced at Xaviera in the corner.

Xaviera is just a mistress that Caleb keeps. Her ability to attend today’s event was all thanks to the Reisers’ influence. Even if she married Caleb, so what? She will never be as respected as me!
