Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Generosity of Others Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Generosity of Others Hearing Xaviera say she wanted to donate Combustion Heart, Rae could hardly contain her rage, and said sarcastically, “Although what Fiona is wearing is a fake, it’s still a token of affection from Mr. Wayne Reiser. He was just deceived, and the authenticity isn’t that important. What matters is who gives the gift. We don’t know where this necklace came from. Maybe you stole it, or maybe you cheated it!”
A snort of coldness spilled out of Xaviera’s nostrils.
“Fiona, am I right?” Rae proudly walked to Fiona, seeking credit. She was sure she’d guessed correctly as that woman was not qualified to possess such a valuable necklace and must have obtained it through improper means.
She spoke emphatically, “Miss Evans, I suppose this necklace isn’t even yours! Now you’re stubbornly donating it. How will you explain to the owner of the necklace afterward? Donating someone else’s things, I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you!”
Fiona’s lips were tightly drawn, and she shook her head helplessly. The contempt deepened in everyone’s eyes, looking at Xaviera disgustingly.
If it were as Miss Reiser said, the necklace was not Xaviera’s but borrowed, then what right did she have to donate it? Taking advantage of others to save face, she was truly sickening.
Fiona said earnestly, “Xaviera, Combustion Heart is indeed too precious. You don’t need to donate it for the sake of face. When donating, you should consider your own ability. Even if you donate cheaper items, no one will laugh at you.”
Xaviera was almost impressed by Fiona’s pretentiousness, such a worthy opponent.
Rae immediately felt confident, “Fiona is right! I advise you to stop pretending. Donating other people’s things and then having them come after you later when you can’t afford to pay for it will be embarrassing. We were trying to save you face earlier by not exposing you. Do you really think we believe you own such a valuable piece of jewelry?”
“Actually, saying that you borrowed it is giving you face. If you keep messing around, we’ll tell the truth, and you’ll have no face left to stay here.”
As the words just fell, a burst of footsteps came from the doorway, followed by a cold masculine voice ringing through everyone’s ears, “I would like to hear what this lady has to say about the truth.”
The man’s voice was deep, containing a hint of ridicule and disdain. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a tall, robust man in a tailored suit walking slowly with steady steps.
Getting closer, everyone could see his face clearly. He had a strong and handsome brow, deep brown eyes that were both deep and icy, and a high, erect nose. He was simply God’s masterpiece. What was even more surprising was the noble and regal aura emanating from him, warm yet suffused with an unwelcome breath.
Most of the guests had never seen the man before, but they recognized the young man behind him as Caleb Mamet’s personal assistant, Sean Price.
So, it seemed obvious who this man, so courteously followed by Sean Price, could be.
Everyone was stunned, but Rae felt a complex mix of fear, delight, and shock washing over her. Trembling, she tried to explain, “It was her who stole this necklace and boasted about donating it. I…”
Rae was too scared to finish her sentence. The room fell silent, and after a few seconds of quiet, Caleb chuckled.
This sudden laughter made Fiona’s heart clench, and it began to race vigorously.
What was Caleb going to do? Even if he adored Xaviera, he couldn’t cause trouble at the Reiser family’s charity dinner. Her father had been Caleb’s teacher, so, past or present, Caleb owed him some respect. Moreover, Caleb and her brother had been good friends for years; he wouldn’t do anything extreme!
Caleb looked at the crowd coldly, finally fixing his gaze on Xaviera. His eyes softened momentarily before turning sharp again when he looked at Fiona.
“She stole the necklace?” He suddenly spoke, his tone flat and unreadable, but Rae felt a cold air surrounding her, making it hard for her to even breathe.
Under the immense pressure of this man, she couldn’t even utter a word. Before she could speak, she heard Caleb’s icy voice, “Fiona, why don’t you tell everyone who she really is?”
Fiona’s body suddenly stiffened, and a huge lump seemed to be stuck in her throat, making it difficult to breathe, “I…”
