Chapter 1415: Chapter 1415: These eyes are really too similar to him

Listening to Mr. Twilight’s words, Fiona Reiser’s blood froze in her veins.

This Mr. Twilight knew Xaviera Evans? Why did he help her as soon as he appeared?

Accompanying Mr. Twilight was an expert, Agnes, who was also the organizer of this conference. Hearing that the two were going to compete, she became excited.

Since the two girls both claimed to be Doctor Faces, one of them must be genuine. If they were to compete, then they could witness Doctor Faces’ restoration techniques themselves; it would be a worthwhile trip.

Expert Agnes immediately agreed, "Good! Mr. Twilight is right. Let’s settle it this way. I don’t think Miss Reiser would object!"

The audience also wanted to see Doctor Faces’ restoration techniques. Seeing that Expert Agnes had spoken, they all started clamoring.

Fiona Reiser’s body stiffened, cold sweat slid down her forehead. At this moment, she felt as if she were standing at the edge of a cliff, being pursued by a group of enemies, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Both Expert Agnes and Mr. Twilight had spoken, and the competition had to take place. But fortunately, the competition would be held tomorrow, giving Fiona some time to prepare. If she refused to compete now, she would certainly arouse suspicion from the crowd.

After a moment of silence, Fiona Reiser calmed herself down and forced a bitter smile, "Xaviera, I don’t understand why you’re doing this. But since you’re determined, let’s see whose skills are superior. Tomorrow the truth will be revealed."

Xaviera hooked her lips in a smile, her eyes sparkling, "Great! I hope Miss Reiser won’t play any tricks behind the scenes. If you’re caught, your carefully maintained image all these years will be ruined!"

"Xaviera, I’ve always treated you sincerely, even inviting you to be here today, but you..." Fiona lowered her head, hurt by her words, "There’s no point in arguing now. I must have been mistaken in choosing a friend."

Xaviera gave a disdainful look and turned coldly to leave.

As soon as she turned, Fiona’s expression became sinister. Wayne Reiser approached and patted her on the shoulder, lowering his voice, "Don’t worry, she won’t be participating tomorrow."

Fiona Reiser was furious, "Who the hell is this Mr. Twilight? How dare he support Xaviera? She’s already so arrogant, how could she not participate?"

"There are many reasons why she can’t participate in the competition, for example..." Wayne Reiser sneered, "For example, her hand is crippled."

Fiona Reiser gasped for breath.

Wayne Reiser laughed, "Interesting! I never thought she’d be Doctor Faces, she hid pretty well. No wonder we didn’t find her when we went to the rental house."

Xaviera Evans was of great use to the Reiser family, so they couldn’t kill her just yet. However, crippling her hand wouldn’t be much of a problem.

This time, he would give Xaviera a painful lesson, making her understand the consequences of being an enemy of the Reiser family!

At this moment, Xaviera had already left the hall. Just as she reached the corridor leading to the restroom, she bumped into someone. Standing in the narrow corridor was a tall, straight man who turned slowly when he heard footsteps behind him.

Wearing a black mask, his deep, narrow eyes were cold as his voice sounded unfamiliar, "Miss Evans."

Xaviera’s heart trembled as she stared directly into his eyes. His light brown eyes shone under the illumination of the light; they were so similar, yet the man’s temperament was different from Caleb Mamet’s.

Smiling at the stranger, she took a few steps forward, maintaining a normal conversational distance, "Mr. Twilight, thank you for what you did just now."

"Mhm." The man’s eyes drooped, his long lashes casting a shadow on his eyelids, and he walked forward with remarkable grace, his voice as elegant as a deep bass violin, "I know you’re Doctor Faces."

Xaviera raised her eyes in surprise.

Without meeting her gaze, the man said quietly, "I took part in the restoration of the Autumn Poem."

Xaviera suddenly realized that back then, she had made a name for herself in the cultural relics restoration world with that damaged scroll. At the time, she was not yet fifteen. Later, she met Jacob Powell and, after some ups and downs, had completely forgotten about the scroll and who had helped her restore it.

Xaviera looked at the man in front of her without any hint of evasion, laughing lightly, "I’m very curious as to why Mr. Twilight wears a mask. Can’t you show your face?"

"Mm, not good-looking." Mr. Twilight replied indifferently.

Xaviera found it amusing and teased him, "I think you look quite good!"
