Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Who Can Be Cheaper Than You? Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Who Can Be Cheaper Than You? Manning Warwick snorted coldly: “Xaviera, I think you should stop associating with the Hughes family from now on. I feel like they must all be crazy. With your talent, do you really need to cheat to win a competition? Besides, the final decision about that incident has been made long ago. Lance Steel who tried to usurp your work and falsely accused you has already been banned in the art circle and cowardly returned to his home town in disgrace. I can’t believe the Hughes family is still under the impression that you cheated. Are they genuinely ignorant or just pretending?”

“Xaviera, where is Mr. Russell’s birthday party? Let’s go quickly, I feel sick staying here any longer.”

Manning Warwick didn’t show any respect to the Hughes family. Zora Hughes turned pale. The thought of her earlier words admiring Xaviera made her feel ashamed and anguished.

Once again, she was under Xaviera’s feet, and this time in such a dramatic way, she felt suffocated at the moment, every inch of her skin seemed numb.

This must be a nightmare. There’s no way Xaviera could be Manning’s senior. She’s so young, even younger than him. How could that be possible?

Guests also came back to their senses after a long silence. Then someone cautiously broke the ice: “So it turns out Xaviera is Page Uland’s last disciple! She’s a very low-key person and never flaunted this, so the Hughes family didn’t know it?”

“Before this, the Hughes family always thought Xaviera cheated! I just texted a friend who works at Libanan University. She said the truth about the matter had been revealed long ago. Lance Steel manipulated the situation and was banned from the art circle, but this matter wasn’t widely publicized. Only some students from Libanan University clarified it on the internet. With so many eyes in the Hughes family, how could they miss this news?”

“Is it possible that Zora knew this was all a misunderstanding long ago, but she deliberately pretended not to know it, letting her family spread rumors about Xaviera cheating and ruining Xaviera’s reputation, just because she’s afraid of being surpassed by Xaviera? Wasn’t this apprenticeship banquet all her idea?”

“The Hughes family has really lost all its face today. Attending a banquet like this is really bad luck!”

Zora’s body stiffened. The ridicule and blame from the crowd were like daggers piercing her chest, the pain was so intense that she almost fainted. She clenched her fists tightly, the pain in her palm keeping her somewhat conscious.

Xaviera! It was all because of her! She made the entire Hughes family the laughingstock of Libanan!

Zora’s body was shaking violently, and other Hughes family members ignored her. Their faces turned deadly pale. Cory Hughes tried to control his emotions, but an enraged Madam Hughes couldn’t accept the truth and shouted at Xaviera and Manning’s fading figures: “Impossible! How could that little bitch be your senior?”

The guests frowned. No matter what, Madam Hughes was the mistress of the Hughes family. Calling a junior such a name was really undignified. What was the difference between her and an uncouth market woman?

Manning stopped in his tracks, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Canvassing his status as a calligraphy master, he turned around, pointed at Madam Hughes and cursed: “Who are you calling a bitch? You old hag! How dare a homewrecker like you call someone else cheap! Is anyone here as cheap as you? My senior is naturally beautiful and talented. If she’s a bitch then you are trash. The kind that’s foul-smelling in the gutter, forever hidden from the sun!”

Madam Hughes probably didn’t expect a distinguished calligraphy master to curse her like this. She was so angry that she was panting heavily, pointing her trembling finger at him.

How could Zora, whom she and Cory had carefully raised from childhood, be inferior to Xaviera, a wild girl who had been abandoned since childhood? How could she accept this?

Nidya Hughes was pale, apart from shock, a flicker of excitement surged within her. So Xaviera was Manning’s senior, she was also a famous overseas designer, Xaviera didn’t disgrace her but brought her honor indeed!

Having such a wonderful daughter, she should be happy!

At this moment, it was as if two little people were quibbling in Nidya Hughes’ mind. One told her that her daughter was excellent, so she should reconcile with Xaviera. The other one told her that since she had offended Xaviera, she might as well break it off altogether!

Her emotions were jumbled up like a ball of yarn, and she was at a loss. As Xaviera’s mother, she didn’t know how to face her.

All the members of the Hughes family had been conspiring to let Zora become Manning’s disciple, just to connect with Page Uland’s identity, so they could have a smooth journey in the art circle from then on. But who could have thought that her biological daughter, Xaviera, turned out to be Page Uland’s most cherished last disciple!
