Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Is Xaviera Gentle and Well-behaved?
“Tracy Swift is like lifting a rock to hit her own foot. I didn’t want to bother with her, but she insisted on opposing . Now the whole Libanan is treating her like a joke!” Xaviera said disdainfully.
“Does she know you are Cold Night now?” Elijah asked.
Xaviera answered confidently: “I haven’t exposed my identity yet. They just saw one of my paintings and were already amazed!”
“Weren’t you not interested in oil paintings before? Why did you suddenly decide to participate in the exhibition?” Elijah continued to ask.
Upon Elijah’s reminder, Xaviera’s brows furrowed, and she said pitifully, “I went to the exhibition to et Cold Night, but unfortunately…”
“??” Elijah was in shock, and Quine, who was next to him, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. They looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Elijah, being the best actor winner, quickly regained his composure and asked tentatively, “Xaviera, are you sure you haven’t seen Cold Night?”
As soon as his words fell, Caleb ca down from the upper floor, just in ti to hear his question, and couldn’t help but raise the corner of his lips.
When Caleb ca down from the upper floor, Quine suddenly furrowed his brow. He was indeed able to clearly sll the thick scent of blood on Caleb, even though he had bathed. However, Quine was too sensitive to the sll of blood and still managed to catch a whiff of it.
Quine didn’t expose him, but instead sipped his coffee impassively.
On the other hand, Elijah looked at Xaviera and Caleb in surprise, his gaze moving back and forth between them. Then he suddenly realized that Caleb had never told Xaviera that he was Cold Night, and Xaviera had been foolishly looking for Cold Night everywhere!
Elijah smiled slightly, as Xaviera’s older brother, how could he let her be deceived?
So, Elijah asked aningfully, “Mr. Caleb Mat, I heard you went to the painting exhibition, how was it?”
Caleb understood Elijah’s aning but still answered calmly, “Not bad.”
“Did you see Cold Night? He is our grandfather’s favorite painter, and Xaviera admires him a lot. She went to the exhibition just to see him!” Elijah persisted.
Xaviera imdiately looked at Caleb, who replied nonchalantly, “Yeah, Xaviera looked for him for a long ti, but didn’t find Cold Night. Boyd Drew was also looking for Cold Night, wanting to use his works as the packaging for the new perfu. Now that Cold Night has not been seen, they think he is dead, so I guess the perfu can be released as scheduled.”
Elijah looked up and exchanged glances with Caleb. He already knew that Caleb had set up a trap for the Drew family three years ago, and it was ti to put the plan into action.
Actually, Elijah thought that Caleb’s hints were pretty obvious. After all, Cold Night had no grievances with the Drew family, so why would he set a trap for them three years ago? Only Caleb, who had both old and new grudges with the Drew family, could devise a sche that lasted three years.
Caleb had already made it so clear, but Xaviera still didn’t understand. Did her intelligence level drop?
Elijah shook his head helplessly, “Mr. Mat, our Xaviera has a bad temper and is a bit slow. Please bear with her!”
Xaviera: “?” Are you still my big brother? Since when do big brothers talk about their little sisters like that?
But Caleb looked at Xaviera indulgently and said gently, “Xaviera has a good temper! She’s gentle, obedient, and smart. I’ll be good to her!”
Gentle and obedient?
Elijah almost spit out the coffee in his mouth; he had a subtle expression, “Uh… as long as you think so… actually… well, never mind, we all understand.”
Caleb sat down beside Xaviera, and Elijah slled the blood on him as well, exchanging glances with Quine.
It wasn’t surprising that Quine, as the Lingo Pavilion master, could sll the blood, but for Elijah to sll it too ant that Caleb had just been tainted with the scent of blood before they arrived and hadn’t had ti to wash up before coming downstairs.
If both of them could sll it, could Xaviera not?
Xaviera leaned close to Caleb’s ear and whispered, “My second brother and big brother are here to visit suddenly. They must be making sure that I’m doing well. You have to behave well and not disappoint .”
Caleb’s eyes were filled with amusent as he obediently nodded.
At this point, Elijah and Quine were even more shocked. The two of them were almost hugging each other- was it possible that Xaviera still couldn’t sll the blood on him?
Looking at the couple’s intimate gestures, Quine seed to understand sothing. Xaviera wasn’t unable to sll it; instead, she either didn’t mind or had already beco accustod to it.
