Chapter 692: Chapter 692: My Surname is Turner

Yigol Mamet was annoyed: “Ha! She sure knows how to navigate herself out of awkward situations! What happened to all that arrogance just now?”

Quine Heninger affectionately ruffled Xaviera Evans’s hair, “Xaviera, it’s all sorted out now.”

Xaviera, holding Quine’s hand, smiled sweetly at him: “Hmm!”

Caleb Mamet furrowed his brows, moved closer to Yigol and asked in a low voice, “Who’s this guy? Touching Xaviera’s hair? I’m right here, what’s he doing!”

Xaviera vaguely heard Caleb’s words, her lips twitched slightly. It seemed that Caleb had never met her second brother, but could he get jealous too?

The old Caleb never stopped her from interacting with her brothers. Whenever he saw them, he would stand at a distance, watching her with a gentle look on his face, as if he was not jealous of her brothers at all!

Having spent time together these past few days, Xaviera realized that this alternate personality of Caleb thought similarly to the original Caleb. However, while the original Caleb, after numerous trials and tribulations, had become silent, calm, adept at disguising his feelings, and never exposing his emotions easily, this alternate personality lacked such experiences and didn’t know how to hide his emotions.

So… did Caleb use to get jealous but never confessed it?

As if electrocuted, Xaviera suddenly let go of Quine’s hand just as the owner approached Quine and respectfully greeted him, “Mr. Heninger!”

The owner then handed the famille rose porcelain vase to Yigol and said, “According to the rules we agreed on earlier, as long as you bring the No. 1 master of ceramic art, this famille rose porcelain vase is yours. I believe that Mr. Heninger will keep his word even though we don’t have the true hollow jade ring porcelain vases yet.”

Upon entering, Quine had already seen the famille rose vase. It was definitely a high-quality one, but it was naturally not as good as the hollow jade ring porcelain vases.

“Mr. Heninger, as you are aware of my grandfather’s demand now, as long as you can make a perfect hollow jade ring porcelain vase, we will certainly give you a substantial reward.”

The process of making a hollow jade ring porcelain vase was complex, and Quine had only done it once before. This indeed could be a bit challenging for him, but as long as he was given enough time, he was confident that he could create a perfect piece.

Quine asked, “May I know your name, sir?”

Right as Yigol was about to respond, to remind him that the shop owner did not wish to disclose his name, the shop owner smiled faintly and answered, “The name doesn’t matter, but since Mr. Heninger asked, of course, I will answer. My surname is Turner.”

“Turner …” Quine hesitated. “If that’s the case, then indeed I should not say it lightly. Once the hollow jade ring porcelain vase is made, I will visit again.”

Caleb’s eyes flickered; no wonder this shop owner wanted someone to make a hollow jade ring porcelain vase. The only other person who could make it was Turner – the former family head, namely, the old man’s missing grandson.

…

After Xaviera bid goodbye to Quine, she and Yigol got in the car to return.

Back at the Lowen Clubhouse, Yigol was beaming: “Xaviera! You are my idol! I’ve been there several times and couldn’t get that vase. You got it in your first visit, and what’s more, you didn’t even have to pay! Grandma will surely be delighted.”

“I officially announce that from today, you’re my big brother. With your talents, why bother getting married?! You should stay single and fabulous!”

Caleb’s brows furrowed, about to retort, when Steve Price suddenly said in a mischievous tone, “Actually, I also think it would be nice for Mrs. Price to remain splendidly single. There must be many people interested in such an outstanding person like her. If she gets married, she can’t date other men.”

An ominous grin crossed Caleb’s face, “What to do if I suddenly feel like beating someone up?”

Steve Price immediately backed off a few steps, a frightened look on his face, “Boss, it’s my fault, but it was Yigol who first had the idea.”

Caleb paused before saying, “Alright, I’ll deal with Yigol first, then I’ll deal with you.”

As soon as Caleb finished his sentence, Steve Price made a run for it. Noticing the change in the atmosphere, Yigol quickly made up an excuse to slip away too.

Only the two of them were left in the living room. Xaviera suddenly remembered something and turned to ask, “Caleb, did you know that Quine is my second brother?”

With a sullen face, recalling how she was smiling at Quine, he felt a pang of annoyance. He nodded unhappily.

Xaviera looked at him questioningly, “You knew he’s my second brother, so why are you still unhappy? Don’t tell me you are also jealous when I’m with my second brother?”

A flash of surprise crossed Caleb’s eyes before he shot her an accusatory look, akin to a puppy abandoned by its owner, and grumbled, “He’s not your real brother.”
