Chapter 1024 -1024: Supporting My Wife’s Back
The class leader, with a red face from anger, couldn’t stand the surrounding whispers any longer. Their Miss Xaviera would never be jealous of Winifred Drew! She didn’t even want to participate in the competition initially – only for the sake of Class 3’s honor did she join in the end.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The class leader abruptly stood up and retorted, “Mr. Connell, I think this matter requires further investigation. Miss Evans initially didn’t want to participate in the competition; she only agreed to join after our persuasion. She has no reason to cheat!”
Xaviera reached out and pulled his hand. “Don’t say anything.”
She was not in the least bit flustered, her voice calm: “No matter what you say now, they won’t believe it. Only evidences can prove everything.”
If they were determined that she had cheated, no amount of explaining would be of any use. It would only be seen as a cover-up attempt and would cause even more contempt from the crowd.
Xaviera didn’t know much about the calligraphy world and was not familiar with Lance Steel and Joan Lentz. These two judges had no reason to target her. However, Winifred Drew had been showing a hostile attitude to her from the start, so it’s quite possible that she was involved. Based on Winifred having studied calligraphy for more than a decade, she might be well-acquainted with the two judges.
If she knew the two judges, then it could explain why they would publicly announce her cheating – they wanted to blow up the matter and tarnish her reputation entirely.
Xaviera smiled indifferently, looking towards Joan Lentz on stage.
…
At that moment, in the Mamet Corporation’s office.
Caleb Mamet’s gaze was fixed on his computer screen, where Libanan University’s official website was live streaming a calligraphy competition. Almost every contest was broadcast live, allowing teachers and students to watch the scene through the video.
After all, Libanan’s art hall could only accommodate more than a thousand people, so not everyone could attend in person. Those who wanted to watch other competitions could do so through live streaming, and the website was unrestricted, allowing others to watch the events on the university’s official website, too.
Caleb had opened the live stream early on. When he heard the crowd accusing Xaviera of cheating, his face suddenly darkened – how dare Lance Steel claim that the artwork was his?
“President, you might not know this, but Lance Steel has a famous reputation. He is known as the ‘Ghost Hand’ in the industry, with a versatile style, which is why his work is so highly sought after. However… “Sean Price paused for a moment.
“But the reason for his versatility is that many of his works were not created by him but were bought from his disciples or other masters at high prices. All in all, he has done everything he can to get famous. He has long since paid a lot of money to suppress the adverse news about this. Only a few people know about it, and now he even wants to steal my wife’s work.”
A murderous intent passed through Caleb’s deep eyes.
Lance Steel, relying on his status as a calligraphy master, continuously took advantage of others’ works, settled matters with compensation after the fact, and most people would not pursue further. Now that he had set his sights on Xaviera’s work, he saw her as an amateur competitor who could be easily accused of stealing his work, considering his position in the industry, everyone would believe him, and Xaviera would have no chance to make a comeback.
Sean Price softly reminded him, “In addition, I found out that Boyd Drew’s cousin, Winifred Drew, is also involved in this. She was the one who took the painting to Lance Steel.”
“Oh? The Drew family,” Caleb thought, feeling like he finally understood the situation. It was the Drew family and Lance Steel who had conspired to bully his Xaviera!
“President, I’ve already sent someone to gather evidence of Lance Steel using ghostwriters and stealing others’ works.”
“Well done,” Caleb nodded. “Let’s go to Libanan University!”
Sean Price quickly went outside to prepare the car, and Steve Price muttered, “Brother, didn’t you say you’d teach me how to please the president and get a promotion and raise?”

Sean Price spread his hands. Wasn’t it obvious? Gathering evidence on Lance Steel using ghostwriters was the best way to please the president and stand up for his wife’s reputation.
Originally, this small matter wouldn’t have required the president’s intervention. He could have handled it himself. However, the president cared about his wife and insisted on handling things personally, wanting to support his wife in person.
…
Meanwhile, at an old house on the outskirts of Libanan, Zora Hughes and Madam Hughes were sitting on a sofa, having their afternoon coffee.
This place was more than a hundred kilometers away from downtown Libanan, with no shopping malls or entertainment facilities nearby, just a few scattered old houses and construction sites covered in dust.
Although the house was old, there were still many rooms. Several servants surrounded the two, catering to their needs. Their lives remained the same – always with ready clothes and meals. However, their hearts were filled with hatred.
