Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: He Wants to Cooperate with Caleb Mamet

Although Xaviera’s knife pierced the back of Dark Dragon’s hand, it missed the vital point, so his wound wasn’t severe. After a simple dressing, he recovered in just a few days.

For the past several days, Xaviera had been preparing materials for the upcoming perfume competition. She leaned back in her chair, stretched lazily, and casually asked Caleb, "Have you seen the news online? The Powell family has already started production of Quinn’s award-winning perfume and added several billion dollars in investment."

"I saw it," Caleb replied.

"Jacob Powell is meticulous and not impulsive. Why are they so sure that Quinn can win the championship this time? What exactly has happened that has made their confidence soar?"

Caleb pursed his lips but didn’t answer.

"It’s because of Twilight, isn’t it?" Xaviera paused for a moment and then continued, "If it weren’t for Twilight, the Powell family wouldn’t have added so much investment. They don’t believe in Quinn, but in Twilight’s strength. Seems like I need to express my gratitude to Mr. Twilight properly."

"How would you thank him?" Caleb’s movement paused, a barely noticeable curve appeared on his lips.

Xaviera thought for a moment, her chin propped up in her hand, and gave a sly smile, "If he’s willing, I could treat him to a meal. He always wears a mask, and I am very curious about the face hidden underneath it. Aren’t you curious, Caleb?"

Caleb: "..."

He smelled danger! This woman was definitely up to no good!

After a few seconds of silence, Caleb laughed heartily, "Xaviera is right. He did help you a lot; treating him to a meal would be the least you could do as thanks."

Xaviera watched his expression intently, word by word, "Sean Price told me that Twilight wore a mask because of facial disfigurement and that he was fond of imitating you. He said Twilight is a hypocrite. What do you think about having a meal with such a person? Aren’t you worried?"

Caleb’s face remained indifferent, showing no signs of change.

Xaviera stared at him playfully and continued, "Sean also said that Twilight was good at hiding his true nature and was a petty person. Not only was he ugly and lacking in character, but he was also arrogant like a peacock, warning me not to interact with such a person who might have ulterior motives. Caleb, do you think he’s that kind of person?"

Sean Price: "!!" My life is in danger!

Caleb looked at her with indulgent eyes, his stern brows instantly softened as if he wasn’t the one being scolded. He pretended to think for a moment before laughing softly, "He is indeed good at hiding his true identity, and he approached you with ulterior motives."

Sean’s words weren’t entirely wrong; Caleb did impersonate Twilight, getting close to Xaviera while secretly helping her to ensure she wouldn’t feel wronged.

Xaviera was suddenly at a loss for words.

...

Five days later, news about Twilight’s return and his role as the first judge in the perfume competition had spread like wildfire. Perfumers all over the world had heard about this.

Unfortunately, Twilight wouldn’t be participating in the previous matches and would only appear during the semi-finals. As a result, all the contestants worked hard, not only for their own honor but also for the opportunity to meet the genius perfumer, Twilight.

"Ma’am, would you like me to escort you to the venue?" Sean Price asked respectfully.

"No need, I’ll go by myself," Xaviera answered.

Sean frowned, "The Brooke family has come again, and they’ve already visited the Mamet Corporation."

Xaviera scoffed, "I almost forgot about them since they haven’t made any moves recently. What are they here for this time?"

After a moment of silence, Sean finally spoke, "The Brooke family... is eyeing the perfume business."

"The perfume business?" Xaviera’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Willie Novak was also targeting this piece of the cake? Did he want to cooperate with Caleb?

Xaviera shook her head, putting the thoughts of Willie aside, and drove straight to the competition area, where she quickly found her own restroom.

There were a total of forty contestants who advanced to the next round. The organizers arranged separate restrooms for all the contestants and their teams to discuss the perfume formulas conveniently.

Xaviera tossed her bag and leaned back in the chair at the restroom, taking a brief break.

Meanwhile, at the Mamet Corporation.

Caleb sat at the head of the conference room table, while members of the Brooke family sat on the other side with respectful voices, "Mr. Caleb Mamet, our master sent me to discuss a potential cooperation with you."

"Let’s hear it," Caleb replied indifferently.

The man smiled warmly, "Mr. Mamet, do you know a certain perfumer?"

Sean, sitting on the side, thought that they were going to ask about Twilight since the name had been all over the internet lately, with screens filled with news of his return.

However, in the next second, the man said, "Her name is Mandy."

Caleb’s eyes suddenly turned icy cold, and a trace of deadly intent enveloped his entire being.
