NovelAppCaleb Mamet is not her senior fellow Xaviera Evans took off the diamond crown, cradling it in her hands, choking back her words: “Thank you.” Unexpectedly she was able to receive this birthday gift from when she was ten years old now at the age of twenty.
Caleb Mamet left to attend the donation ceremony, as Xaviera Evans stood still, clutching the diamond crown.
“Miss Evans.” At that moment, a warm male voice resonated.
Boyd Drew came forward in a light-colored suit, a gentle smile on his face, and gave her a box in his hand, “Miss Evans, this is for you.” Xaviera furrowed her brows.
Another gift? She really couldn't understand, knowing full well that she and Caleb were husband and wife, why Drew still actively approached her? “Mr. Drew, there's no need.” Drew wasn’t angry, still appearing indifferent: “Xaviera, you know who | am.” Xaviera felt a tight knot forming in her heart.

Drew revealed a trace of a smile: “Your brother must have told you, who I am.” Xaviera gulped, indeed Albert mentioned that she had a fiancé, and that man was Drew.
Drew’s laughter was deep: “Miss Evans, to be honest, | like you very much, | won't hurt you, there’s no need for you to keep me at arm’s length.” Xaviera looked at him suspiciously: “No matter what your intention, we should not have any contact with each other!” Drew was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with disappointment, but he insisted on giving her the box and his voice carried a trace of pleading, “Open it and see.” Seeing that Xaviera made no move, Drew opened the box. A diamond crown rested silently inside, adorned with gold leaves and gemstones, shimmering under the light.
Xaviera, being a designer herself, understood the value of the crown even more. The crown was a masterpiece by the famous designer Wright. There was only one such design, and it vanished after being auctioned off a few years ago. It was priceless.
Drew laughed bitterly: “This crown has been waiting for its owner for ten years. Now it’s a bit old, you might not like it, but I still hope Miss Evans you can accept it, if you don’t want it then you can throw it away.” With that, he handed her the box, turned around decisively, and left.
Xaviera looked shocked, her heart filled with confusion.
Why did Drew give her the crown from ten years ago? Could it be that Drew bought it and kept it for ten years? Drew paused in his steps, turning slightly towards her: “I'm sorry, | wasn’t able to bid for the island. | was prepared to offer it up even if it bankrupted me, but unfortunately... my abilities are limited. Next time | will do better. Anything you like, | will do my best to give you. Xaviera’s heart clenched, “Drew, how did you know?” How could Drew be so clear about her wish when she was ten? There was a trace of dejection in Drew’s eyes, “I know it all, but none of it matters now, | just hope that in the future | can do better for you.” With a sorrowful sigh, he strode away.
Xaviera stood there in silence, her thoughts in a turmoil.
She only told her senior fellow about her wishes when she was ten. Even her brother and grandfather weren't aware. How could Drew know? And furthermore, Drew bought this crown ten years ago. What secrets were behind all this? Who is Drew exactly? Caleb left Steve Price to go back to Lowen Clubhouse first, and it was only when Xaviera got into the car that she found out that Caleb was already waiting inside.
Xaviera remained silent for a long while, her head lowered.
“What did Drew say?” Caleb's voice was cold, as if he was repressing something.

In Xaviera’s hand was the box Drew had given her, she remained silent.
Looking at the box, Caleb felt a surge of anger rising within him.
Drew was meticulous in his calculations, he must have said something that made Xaviera unhappy.
And Xaviera’s attitude, did it mean she believed Drew and had doubts about him? Xaviera hesitated slightly: “He gave me a diamond crown, and... and said many things that confused me. Caleb clenched his fists, his expression darkening.
Xaviera took a deep breath: “He seemed to remind me that he is my senior fellow.” During the island bidding, Drew had started laying out hints, and now he had given her a crown. All these things she had only told her senior fellow, so how did Drew know? All of Drew's actions seemed to be reminding her that Caleb was not her senior fellow.
