Chapter 355: 355: Apology Gift

The dress was a strapless, body-hugging gown. Although it was well-fitted in other areas, her round shoulders were exposed.

As Xaviera was about to refute him, Caleb’s large hand gripped her waist tightly, pulling her into his embrace.

The messy kiss landed upon her, trailing down her neck, kissing her collarbone. The tingling sensation made Xaviera’s body stiffen.

She kept retreating, but Caleb continued to press forward, pushing her against the wall.

His eyes burned with passion as he gazed deeply into hers, breathing slightly harder, he smirked, “Do you still think this dress is nice now?”

Xaviera blinked, suddenly realizing that without looking, she could already tell that her collarbone and shoulders were now covered in red marks. If she were to go out in this dress, she would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

It was a birthday celebration hosted by the Jaak family. If she showed up at the party like this, she would certainly be kicked out.

“Mrs. Mamet, change your dress,” Caleb planted a kiss at the corner of her lips, filled with deep affection and tenderness.

Xaviera immediately rushed to the mirror. The marks wouldn’t fade anytime soon, and it was difficult to cover them with makeup. She had no choice but to change into a dress that didn’t expose her shoulders.

The Jaak Mansion.

Today was Sir Jaak’s seventieth birthday. Many years ago, he and his wife founded their company together. They worked diligently over the years and had always been seen as a celestial couple within their circle. The couple had a great relationship and were highly respected.

Mrs. Jaak, who had been entertaining some of her sisters, turned to see her daughter standing by, full of worry. She approached and comforted her, “Xenia, don’t worry.”

Xenia held a jewelry box in her hand, opened it to take a look, and then closed it again, seeming somewhat uneasy.

“Mom, do you think Xaviera will forgive me?”

“Although it was the Evans family who pushed Xaviera out to take the blame, I did push her after all. I remember she seemed in pain, her hand even bled. It’s been ten years since I apologized to her. Will she accept it?”

The jewelry box contained a purple crystal bracelet that shone with a mysterious luster under the light. It had a hollow pendant in the center with a complex design. One glance and you could tell the bracelet was valuable.

Mrs. Jaak gently tapped her forehead and chided, “You were too impulsive back then, pushing her without understanding the situation. If she doesn’t forgive you, there’s nothing you can do.”

Xenia frowned, “I already feel guilty. I pushed her, even though she didn’t break the vase. I need to apologize anyway, and this gift was custom-made for her. Her name is engraved on the pendant. If she doesn’t accept it, I’ll throw it away.”

At that moment, a servant hurriedly rushed in, “Miss.”

“What’s the matter?”

The servant was extremely anxious and said nervously, “I don’t know what’s going on, but everyone is saying that you are going to give away gifts today.”

Xenia felt embarrassed, “What’s wrong with giving gifts? I’m apologizing to Xaviera. There’s nothing shameful about it!”

The servant shook their head, “No, that’s not what I meant. People are saying that after the celebration begins, the young ladies from each family will perform, and you will give a gift to the one with the most outstanding performance.”

Xenia: “!!”

Damn! Who the hell made that up? I’ll rip their mouth apart!

Her grandparents loved lively events and indeed enjoyed such activities. They even prepared many musical instruments for the young ladies to showcase their talents. However, there was never any mention of such a prize.

Moreover, her gift was for Xaviera, with Xaviera’s name engraved on it. It couldn’t be given to anyone else.

Mrs. Jaak’s eyebrows furrowed as well. “Xenia, let’s go find out who started this rumor.”

The Jaak Mansion Banquet Hall.

Zara Woods, wearing a haute couture dress, immediately attracted the attention of many gentlemen with her exquisite face and impressive figure.

At the moment, she was talking to a middle-aged man, and they were both laughing happily.

Xenia recognized the man as a famous domestic musician who had composed many music pieces and was also a disciple of an internationally renowned composer.
