126 Chapter 126: Invitation to the
Competition
“Let’s do this. In a few days, I’ll bring up the matter of your mother and Uncle Evans’s marriage to him, and get them to hurry their wedding. That way, you can officially be the Evans family’s Miss.”
The reason why Derek Evans didn’t mention marrying Rose Campbell in all these years is because of
Xaviera’s mother’s will. It stated that if Derek remarried before Xaviera took over the company, he would lose his current position, and all company shares would be entirely wiped out. Therefore, Rose Campbell has been by Derek Evans’s side with no name and no share for years. This also made Mag Evan’s status somewhat awkward.
Before Xaviera returned, they claimed that Mag was the Miss Evan, but that was merely in name only.
Moore Mamet felt his suggestion was excellent. Now, Xaviera was of no use to the Evans Group, which was
under Derek Evans’s control. It was time for Mrs.
Campbell and him to get married.

Mag Evans smiled lightly, leaning weakly on Moore Mamet’s chest, gratefully saying, “Moore, you’re too good to me; I don’t know how I could ever repay you.”
Moore Mamet patted her head: “Silly, shouldn’t I be good to you?”
Mag Evans shyly smiled, a flash of slyness passing through her eyes as she lowered her head. There would be plenty of opportunities to get Caleb Mamet in the future. However, opportunities for her mom to get legally married did not come by often. Derek would definitely listen to Moore’s suggestion. She could take this chance to officially become Miss Evans and could also take possession of the inheritance that Xaviera’s dead mother left- just thinking about it made her feel very pleased.
On the other side, Xaviera followed Caleb Mamet upstairs, she was very curious about the gift Caleb said
he had for her.
Caleb as a person was a little dog–like in
temperament, but anything rewarded by him couldn’t be that bad. His rewards must be highly coveted, that
126 Chapter 126: Invitation to the Competition
which others envied.
Therefore, Xaviera was quite looking forward to it.
Caleb took a document from his desk and casually handed it over to Xaviera who was behind him: “Take a
look. This is your reward.”
Xaviera opened the buffalo leather cover excitedly. After glancing through the document, she choked, “Cough, cough… are you joking with me?”
It was an invitation to an international simultaneous translation competition. These types of competitions were mostly internal, and all the candidates were recommended by magnates. In a way, the person recommended by the magnate also represented the magnate’s face.
To others, Xaviera was someone from the countryside; they probably thought she didn’t even know English, let alone have the ability to participate in this kind of translation competition.
“Don’t want to go?”
A rather peculiar expression appeared on Xaviera’s face: “I don’t think this is a matter of whether I want to
126 Chapter 126. Invitation to the Competition
or not.”
Although she was not afraid of trouble, she hated it. If news of her going to the competition leaked out, she could already imagine the sneers from outsiders. They would definitely mock her mercilessly.
Caleb turned his head to look at her, chuckled lightly: “Then what’s the issue? Is it a competency issue? If the champion of the previous simultaneous translation competition doesn’t qualify to compete, then there’s no point in having this competition.”
Xaviera’s heart was in her throat, “Damn it, how does
this dog man know that she participated in the last competition and won the championship?!”
Unfortunately, before she could get any answer,
Caleb’s phone rang. He opened the balcony door of his study to take the call, leaving Xaviera alone in the study, looking utterly perplexed.
How did Caleb come to know about her winning the championship in last year’s translation competition, something that even Albert didn’t know about? Last year, in a moment of whimsy, she participated in the simultaneous translation competition just to pass her

time. She thought she would just make a casual attempt, but she was looked down upon because of her young age. They said she was here to play and did not deserve to be standing alongside other
participants.
Xaviera’s temper flared up. Did they say she wasn’t competent? Well, then she would show them what real
competence was! As a result, she inadvertently
became last year’s simultaneous translation champion and the strongest dark horse ever. There are still many people reminiscing about that translation match.
Countless people draw inspiration from her story – it doesn’t matter if people look at you scornfully, it doesn’t matter if countless people mock you. Competency is everything, and I will shut the mouths of all those who curse me with my competency!
Xaviera scratched her head, wondering if she heard something wrong just now. Did Caleb actually say that she was the champion of the last competition or was he trying to inspire her by using the story of the previous champion?
Whatever, she figured it must the latter, after all, there
