Chapter 1505: Chapter 1505: Beaten to the Punch
"The small banquet hall and the competition venue are connected, so we can pretend to be lost. Even if they suspect us, they canât do anything to us!"
After hearing the girlâs idea, everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and Xaviera Evans gave her a thumbs up: "Great idea, please go ahead, everyone have fun, Iâll cover the costs!"
Yigol Mamet shrank his neck, "If Caleb found out I asked you for money, he would definitely skin me alive. Since I asked everyone for help, of course Iâll cover the expenses. I can afford this! Everyone, start calling your friends to come over! The more, the merrier!"
The group laughed and went off to rent the banquet hall next door, leaving Yigol by himself. He hesitated for a moment before softly comforting, "Xaviera, donât be sad."
Xaviera raised her eyebrows and replied calmly, "What makes you think Iâm sad?"
"I saw the post on the internet about the Powell family..." Yigol suddenly stopped, looking at Xaviera with concern, afraid to touch a sore spot.
So many people were defending Xaviera, clearly believing that she wouldnât do such a thing even though they werenât related by blood. However, the Powell family, who were her relatives, chose to betray her, posting such things online, which felt like stabbing her in the heart!
Xavieraâs expression remained indifferent, "Oh, Jacob Powell, I saw it too."
Yigolâs expression became complicated, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to make a significant decision. Clenching his teeth and looking like he was sacrificing himself, he said solemnly, "Xaviera! If youâre really upset, you can just pretend Iâm Jacob and beat me up to vent your frustrations!"
Xaviera stared in astonishment: "!!" Yigol was really adorably silly!
A moment later, Sid Armstrong hurried back with a defeated look on his face, "Has my sister-in-law gone in yet?"
Yigol replied, "Sheâs in there, but donât worry about it for now. She wonât make a move until the competition begins. Weâll find a chance to go in when that happens. Have you managed to rent the banquet hall?"
Sid spread his hands helplessly, "No, someone else rented it before us. Our original plan wonât work now. If we keep waiting outside, wonât we be too conspicuous?"
Yigol was also surprised; how was the banquet hall already rented at nine in the morning?
"Whatâs the name of the person who rented the hall?"
Sid Armstrong: "The manager didnât want to tell me, so I had to give him some money first. His name is Twilight, a strange name, and I donât know where to find him."
Yigol thought for a moment, but he had never heard of this person named Twilight before,
Just as everyone was at a loss about what to do, a young man in a suit rushed over, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Yigol Mamet?"
Yigol looked at the man cautiously and nodded.
Seeing this, the young man smiled and said, "Hello, everyone. I am Mr. Twilightâs assistant. My boss would like to meet with you all. He said he is willing to give up the banquet hall for you."
Everyone was stunned; they had no idea where to find Twilight, and now he had come to them and was even willing to give up the banquet hall!
Sid was so excited that he was ready to jump, "Yigol, letâs go over quickly!"
Yigol hesitated, but seeing that the assistant had no malicious intent and they were all from Libananâs upper class, he wasnât afraid of any harm and followed the assistant into the banquet hall.
In the middle of the hall stood a man in a black suit, tall and upright, exuding a cold aura, his back turned to them.
"Hss..." Sid squinted his eyes and grabbed Yigolâs arm, "Yigol, this guy looks just like your brother! It could just be that Iâm mistaken, and he only looks like him from the back."
When Yigol saw the man, his expression instantly stiffened.
These young aristocrats and noble ladies hadnât taken over their family businesses yet, so they didnât have much interaction with Caleb. Most of them had only seen him from a distance at banquets. However, Yigol was sure that this man was Caleb just from his backview.
Since they had grown up together, Yigol had been beaten by Caleb countless times, so seeing Caleb filled him with a strange sense of fear. This man had the same off-limits aura as Caleb!
But wasnât this banquet hall rented by Twilight? If it was Caleb who rented it, why did he invite them over using Twilightâs name?
By his side, Sid had already begun enthusiastically greeting, "So youâre Mr. Twilight, right? Itâs an honor to meet you. Thank you so much for being willing to give up the banquet hall!"
