Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Resolved the Worries Behind
Caleb Mat stared intently at Xaviera Evans, asking softly, “Are you really that eager to et him?”
Xaviera quickly nodded. Her main reason for agreeing to attend the painting exhibition was to catch a glimpse of Cold Night, her idol.
A faint smile crossed Caleb’s face as he said, “Maybe you’ve already t him, but you just don’t know he’s Cold Night?”
Xaviera pondered for a mont, had she t Cold Night? She had t many people earlier, but none of them looked like Cold Night.
“Mrs. Mat, think about it carefully. One person’s painting…”
Caleb’s words were cut off suddenly by a gentle male voice, “Miss Evans, we et again.”
Without even turning around, Xaviera knew who it was. Sure enough, she t Boyd Drew’s cold yet playful eyes.
This guy must have a problem! She was just about to pry the identity of Cold Night out of Caleb’s mouth when he ca to interrupt!
Boyd seed unaware of Xaviera’s disgust, slowly walking toward them and casually asked, “Are Mr. Caleb Mat and Xaviera here to visit the painting exhibition as well?”
Xaviera really disliked people who approached seeking trouble. They clearly didn’t want to deal with these people, but they insisted on coming over to make trouble!
Seeing Boyd’s gaze, Xaviera suddenly rembered the purpose of his visit was to confirm whether Cold Night was still alive. Given Boyd’s nature, he was sure to check on Cold Night’s whereabouts multiple tis, then launch the Drew Corporation’s new perfu.
Moreover, the Drew Group had previously poached several perfurs from the Mat Corporation. In Boyd’s view, Caleb’s visit was also for Cold Night, aiming to trip up the Drew family. So he was sure to keep a close eye on Caleb to see if he could get reliable news from him.
Xaviera snorted coldly, “What does it have to do with you what we’re here for?”
It seed Boyd understood sothing as he didn’t get angry at Xaviera’s rudeness, instead giving a faint smile, “Has Xaviera t the person she wanted to see?”
Xaviera’s expression suddenly froze, then she feigned anger, “None of your business!”
Her act made Boyd even more convinced that Caleb and Xaviera were also here to find Cold Night. They hoped Cold Night was still alive, rendering the Drew Group’s perfu unable to launch. Unfortunately, they hadn’t seen Cold Night.
Boyd’s eyes narrowed, “It seems Xaviera didn’t et that person.”
Upon hearing this, Xaviera nearly stomped her foot in anger, roaring in frustration, “What nonsense are you talking about! You have a problem! Caleb, let’s go!”
Caleb nodded, not even deigning to glance at Boyd, and took Xaviera’s hand as they left.
Watching the retreating figures, Boyd smirked and said to his assistant, “I just tested Xaviera a little. From her reaction, she hasn’t seen Cold Night, and hasn’t even managed to find any information about him. Seems like our investigation is correct; Cold Night is no longer alive.”
The assistant realized, “Mrs. Mat wanted to make you think they saw Cold Night, so our company’s perfu can’t launch, causing quite a loss for the Drew family. But in fact, Cold Night didn’t show up, which is good news for us.”
Boyd smiled faintly. From the mont he saw Xaviera turn around, he had been watching her eyes. Each of his questions brought surprise and panic in her eyes, showing her guilty conscience that she didn’t want others to discover.
“Thanks to Mrs. Mat, she helped solve a lingering concern.”
…
Now outside, Caleb looked at Xaviera with a smile, “Mrs. Mat’s acting was quite good just now, even I was almost deceived.”
Xaviera blinked, “If I hadn’t done that, how could Boyd confidently launch the perfu? Seeing the panic and unease in my eyes, he must think I haven’t seen Cold Night. My evasiveness made him even more certain.”
From the mont she saw Boyd, Xaviera had been leading him into a trap. He would definitely launch the perfu as soon as possible after returning, not giving Caleb a chance to interfere.
Steve Price listened to their conversation in silence, secretly marveling at Xaviera’s scheming. That idiot Boyd was no match for her!
“But there’s one thing I’m puzzled about,” Xaviera suddenly stopped and looked up at the man beside her.
“Though Boyd wants to use the new perfu to turn things around, how can you be so sure he’ll use Cold Night’s painting?”
