Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: What’s with the Pretense of Being an Innocent Rabbit! Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: What’s with the Pretense of Being an Innocent Rabbit! Lance Steel wasn’t stealing someone’s work for the first time. Over half of all his works were created by others. He oppressed his disciples into creating for him and also suppressed the up-and-coming talents. A group of these individuals banded together to report Steel, posting all the evidence online.

The crime evidence was clear, as if it had been prepared in advance. Steel had no way to refute it. Overnight, all his titles and honors completely vanished. His reputation was totally destroyed. Many contracts were also canceled. Those people whom he had bullied and suppressed flocked to him. The once highly respected master of calligraphy thus fell from grace.

Xaviera Evans looked at the news and raised an eyebrow: “Caleb Mamet, did you do this?”

Wearing his casual black nightgown, Caleb Mamet reclined lazily on the sofa. Glancing over the news on the screen, a quick flash passed through his eyes. But he quickly returned to his calm demeanor, looking innocent when he met Xaviera’s gaze, “No, Lance Steel has made countless enemies. He has angered so many people that I don’t even have to lift a finger.”

Xaviera Evans: “…” Why was Caleb Mamet still pretending to be an innocent little rabbit in front of her? Everyone knew his tactics!

Lance Steel had been in the art circle for many years, always careful. The talents he suppressed were all without backgrounds. After seizing their works, he would appease them with a bit of money when in a good mood, driving them away outright when not. Victims dared not speak up, knowing that even if they reported Lance Steel, no one would believe them without solid evidence.

Now, as if agreed upon, these people banded together to report Lance Steel. If Xaviera was to believe that Caleb hadn’t done anything, she absolutely wouldn’t believe it!

Caleb Mamet lowered his gaze, looking at the file in his hand. A meaningful smile played at the corner of his mouth, “After all, Mrs. Mamet is really powerful. Everyone who offends you ends up miserable.”

Xaviera Evans glared at him. Then she put down her phone. Lance Steel was now disgraced and should be hiding for a while. From now on, he would never appear in her life again.

After a moment of silence, Xaviera Evans asked, “Why did this Winifred Drew make trouble for me?”

Caleb’s eyes squinted: “Is it odd that the Drew family is causing trouble for you?”

As if lost in thought, Xaviera stated: “Shouldn’t they be causing trouble for you? What’s the use of dealing with me? Caleb, I’ve always been curious. You’re the grandson of the Drew family, but the Drews would rather support Jenny Green’s illegitimate son than you. They’ve also been plotting against you. Why is this?”

Without even looking up, Caleb replied with a light laugh: “After all, Boyd Drew was raised in the Drew family from a young age. There’s affection there from years of nurturing him. My relationship with the Drew family has always been like water and fire. It makes sense for them to favor Boyd.”

“Sir Drew is stubborn, and Boyd is his personally nurtured successor. Even if he’s not related by blood, Sir is keen on continuing down this errant path. Moreover, if I, an illegitimate child abandoned by my parents and who almost died at Maple House, surpass the beloved Boyd Drew carefully brought up by him, won’t he lose face?”

It was for face’s sake. Sir Drew wouldn’t accept Caleb in the early days. He wanted to support the Boyd Drew he raised hands-on. It doesn’t matter if Boyd isn’t related to the Drew family by blood? In Sir Drew’s eyes, the person he raised would definitely be more flawless than Caleb.

Xaviera nodded. Caleb’s background was pitiful. He grew up without enough food or clothing and was often abused by Jenny Green. Everything he achieved was the result of his struggles.

On the contrary, Boyd Drew was raised in the care of the Drew family, receiving an elite education from a tender age. The Drew family gave him all the resources. If he didn’t do better than Caleb Mamet, it would be a slap in the face for the entire Drew family.

In fact, it wasn’t strange for Sir Drew to like Boyd, because Boyd had grown up by his side. Boyd was like a younger version of him, how could he possibly dislike himself?

Perhaps there was another crucial reason. Sir Drew didn’t like his daughter Winni, so he also disliked her biological son Caleb Mamet. Therefore, when Caleb showed up at the Drews as a child, they knowingly denied his identity and allowed the mistake to perpetuate.

Remembering all the tribulations Caleb had endured, Xaviera felt a wave of anger. She coldly huffed, “The brains of the Drew family aren’t right. It’s good that you didn’t grow up with the Drew family, otherwise you’d become as unbearable as Boyd.”

Caleb Mamet replied in a nonchalant tone, “Character varies from person to person. Even if I had grown up in the Drew family, I wouldn’t let them influence me.”
