Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Xaviera, Have You Heard of Doctor Faces? Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Xaviera, Have You Heard of Doctor Faces? There was a silence in the room as Mrs. Hughes’s face changed, her fingers turning white from gripping. Her nails broke the skin, but she didn’t seem to notice.
Xaviera Evans didn’t seem in a hurry, she just looked at her quietly. After a long silence, Mrs. Hughes finally took a deep breath and choked out, “I’ll … I’ll support you, whatever Miss Evans wants to do, I’ll support it!”
As soon as she had spoken, before Xaviera could respond, Mrs. Hughes suddenly stood up. “I’m sorry, Miss Evans. It’s getting late, and I should go back. They will be looking for me when they find out I’m gone.”
She left hastily, leaving only Caleb Mamet and Xaviera in the room.
Caleb’s expression remained gentle. In front of Xaviera, he was always the gentle and elegant gentleman. Thoughtfully, he poured Xaviera a cup of coffee and looked at her affectionately. “Did Xaviera get any gain from the conversation?”
“Yes! Mrs. Hughes’s response just now makes me even more certain about the relationship between Nidya Hughes and Zora Hughes!” Xaviera nodded, her eyes filled with a cold look.
Mrs. Hughes was only Zora’s nominal mother. She had come here specifically to tell Xaviera this secret, the secret about Nidya Hughes and Zora Hughes.
“On the surface, Mrs. Hughes seems like a harmless rabbit, but her intelligence is much higher than that of the foolish Hughes family. Having been imprisoned by the Hughes family for so many years, she ventured to tell me this secret today.”
Caleb gently straightened her hair behind her ear and whispered softly, “Maybe she thinks you are someone she can trust, and only you can reveal the truth.”
Xaviera pondered, wondering what other secrets Mrs. Hughes might be hiding.
The cafe was under Caleb’s name. Upon learning of his arrival, the manager hurriedly entered the room to report on work. After the work was done, the manager spoke again: “President, we found the ancient painting you were looking for. However, it was burned in a fire, and we’re currently trying to find someone to restore it.”
“What ancient painting?” Xaviera asked curiously.
Caleb took a sip of his coffee and gently replied, “Just a common painting, a work by an old friend of mine.”
Xaviera nodded, and Caleb instructed in a low voice: “You don’t need to find anyone, I’ll arrange for someone to restore it.”
“Alright, President.” With that, the manager swiftly left the room.
After the manager left, Caleb looked at Xaviera with interest, “Isn’t Xaviera curious about why I’m looking for that painting?”
Xaviera waved her hand dismissively, “Since it’s your friend’s, it’s not strange for you to try to find it!”
Caleb smiled and deliberately led her on, “However, the painting has been ruined and needs to be restored. I don’t know if it can ever be the same again.”
Xaviera didn’t notice Caleb’s odd tone and casually replied, “There are many professional restorers in Imperial City. You can send someone to invite one.”
With Caleb’s current influence, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find a restorer-or even all the restorers in the city. The moment he asked for their help, these people would surely scramble to do the job.
Caleb frowned, “But… most of them are not reliable. I won’t feel at ease if I leave it to them.”
Just as Xaviera was about to offer to find a professional for him, Caleb interrupted with a grin, “I heard that there is a famous restorer in Imperial City. If only we could find her.”
Xaviera looked up and met Caleb’s smiling eyes, feeling a shiver in her heart.
“Six years ago, she restored an ancient book fragment. Many professors in the field of cultural relics had failed to do so, but she completed it by herself in just a month. Her restoration traces were nearly invisible. At that time, her name became quite a sensation, making her the top existence in the cultural relics field. Xaviera, have you heard of this person?”
Xaviera choked and twitched the corner of her mouth “No, I haven’t.”
“But I haven’t told you her name yet, and you say you don’t know her! She’s called ‘Doctor Faces’ and uses restoration techniques similar to the Heninger Family. Since Xaviera and Quine Heninger are siblings, I thought you would know!”
Xaviera: “…” The bastard was bullying her again, trying to make her expose herself!
She swallowed and defiantly retorted, “There are so many people on Black Island, how could I possibly know all of them? Besides, she only uses techniques similar to the Heninger Family, maybe she isn’t even acquainted with my brother! How could I know about her when you ask me?”
Caleb smiled at her, “Why don’t Xaviera help me ask Mr. Heninger instead? I’d like to meet Doctor Faces very much!”
Xaviera: “?!”
At that moment, she was a little puzzled. So, did Caleb know or not?
