Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: A Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Stone Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: A Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Stone Xaviera Evans fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Caleb Mamet, “Unlike the Coriell family, the Reiser family gave their all to help you, but they weren’t as greedy. Aside from the betrayal back then, they didn’t seem to have done anything unforgivable.”
“That’s right.” Caleb Mamet’s lips curled up in a cold smile.
Xaviera raised her eyebrows, “So, what do they want? Wayne Reiser was your teacher back then, he appeared during your most helpless and troublesome times. Maybe more than ten years ago, he started to plan something that has not been completed yet, so he returned to Libanan, right?”
Caleb’s eyes shone like stars, “Xaviera’s guess is correct.”
Xaviera couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. What did a person who didn’t seek wealth or power want? World peace or immortality?
These propositions seemed far-fetched, and after thinking for a long time, Xaviera could not come up with a reasonable explanation.
After the two finished their meal at the cafe and just walked out the door, Xaviera saw Nidya Hughes and Zora Hughes coming out of the Hughes Building together. They were laughing all the way, Zora affectionately holding Nidya’s arm, and Nidya’s face filled with love and indulgence, like a gentle mother.
Caleb’s eyebrows were raised in amusement as he looked at Xaviera, “It seems Miss Hughes is in a good mood!”
“Zora’s got thick skin.” Xaviera blinked and giggled.
Caleb glanced at Xaviera beside him, seeing her eyes filled with confidence. It seemed that everything Zora did was within her expectations, and Xaviera’s real target was never Zora but Nidya Hughes.
Nidya and Zora didn’t notice Xaviera on the other side of the street, and they got in a car and left together.
Xaviera sighed softly, “These two are so close that if you didn’t know, you’d think Zora was Nidya’s biological daughter! Such deep mother-daughter affection!”
Caleb laughed, “So, Xaviera is planning on killing two birds with one stone this time?”
Xaviera’s eyes were full of innocence, “What do you mean killing two birds with one stone? I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
Her plan was clearly to kill three birds with one stone!
Upon returning to the Lowen Clubhouse, Caleb went to the study to work while Xaviera went to the drawing studio to work on design sketches.
Whoosh-
A hidden weapon flew through the gap in the window and landed on the floor. Xaviera widened her eyes, picked up the weapon, and quickly opened the door to check for any intruders. Once she confirmed no one was there, she stepped out of the drawing studio and saw a figure standing in the corner.
As she approached, the man bowed respectfully, “Miss.”
“Mhmm, what is it?” Xaviera’s brows furrowed.
“The young master sent me to protect you, Miss. I apologize for any inconvenience.”
Xaviera’s eyes narrowed, “What did my second brother find out?”
The man replied, “I dare not speculate on the young master’s thoughts. I only know to obey his arrangement.”
Xaviera was perplexed. Though her abilities were far inferior to her second brother’s, she had more than enough strength against ordinary people, and she also had a life-saving hidden weapon. Yet her second brother sent the fifth-ranked assassin from Black Island to protect her, and he even appeared at the Lowen Clubhouse.
She raised an eyebrow, “If you’re here to protect me, why can’t you be open about it? Why send me a message in the middle of the night and not let Caleb know?”
The man’s voice was calm and respectful, “I dare not speculate on the young master’s thoughts. I only know to obey his arrangement.”
Xaviera was speechless, “…”
She waved helplessly, “Fine, if you want to stay, stay. I’ll ask my second brother myself! By the way, regarding the invitation from the cultural relics professor, has my second brother agreed?”
Before the man could respond, Xaviera interrupted, “If you don’t know, don’t speak. You don’t need to repeat what you just said.”
“I do know. The young master said that in time, when he and Miss can go to Imperial City together, they can visit the professor as well.”
Xaviera’s eyes were full of surprise, “My second brother agreed!”
“However, Miss must go with him.”
Xaviera blinked. A batch of ancient books needed restoration, and there were many experts in this field domestically, but the Heninger family’s abilities in this area were certainly top-notch.
“The young master said that this was just a minor matter, and you could handle it yourself without his involvement.” The man added, “The young master also mentioned that you are an expert in ancient book restoration and have been referred to as… Doctor Faces.”
“Stop!” Xaviera interrupted the man nervously, lowering her voice, “Don’t say anything more, just know it in your heart.”
She had previously learned ancient book and painting restoration under Quine Heninger, intending to choose a random book to practice with. However, she accidentally rescued a damaged scroll that even the predecessor of the cultural relics world couldn’t restore after a year of effort. She completed the task in just one month, which earned her the nickname “Doctor Faces” in the industry.
