DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 16
16 Chapter 16: The True Master
As Mag belittled Xaviera, she didn’t forget to elevate herself.
One causing trouble for the store, the other quelling it, the difference was obvious.
Unfortunately, Manager Bateman didn’t even give Mag a glance and hurriedly ran to Xaviera, smiling apologetically: “I’m sorry, Miss, I’m late.”
After saying that, he scanned the surrounding crowd and shouted to the salespeople: “What are you doing?! Hurry up and serve coffee to Miss Xaviera! This is her first time inspecting the store, and this is how you attend to her?!”
Everyone was stunned.
Manager Bateman… Why did he go to Xaviera and call her “Miss“?
Wasn’t this Mag’s store?
Mag panicked too. What was wrong with Manager Bateman? Why was he so respectful to Xaviera?
16 Chapter 16: The True Master
Obviously, she was the Evans family’s daughter! Although Xaviera took the title of “Miss” after returning, everyone in the company knew she was useless and didn’t take her seriously. So why was Manager Bateman so flattering to her now?
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
Someone nearby couldn’t stand it and took the initiative to remind Manager Bateman, “You’ve mistaken the person. That woman is the ‘Miss‘ who the Evans family threw away in the countryside. She doesn’t count. Your direct superior is Miss Mag Evans.”
Manager Bateman furrowed his brows fiercely.
Mag noticed his expression, thinking that he had just confused Xaviera with herself and thus treated her so humbly. Now that Manager Bateman knew Mag’s identity, he should…
What do you mean, Miss Mag Evans!”
Unexpectedly, Manager Bateman shouted loudly: “Our direct superior is only Miss Xaviera Evans!”
“What?”
Everyone widened their eyes, instinctively looking at

Mag. Didn’t she just say that this store belonged to
her?
Xaviera, who had been silent, calmly sipped her coffee and spoke leisurely: “This store belongs to the Evans Group, and I own sixty–five percent of the controlling shares. So, this store…”
“Impossible! You haven’t married yet, and the share transfer agreement has not taken effect. You’re not the owner of this store!”
“The share transfer agreement has already taken
effect.”
Xaviera calmly took out the share transfer agreement.
Mag’s face turned pale: “No…no way…”
She swayed, almost unable to stand upright, and the
share transfer agreement in Xaviera’s hand seemed like Pandora’s magic box, making her afraid to even investigate the past.
Manager Bateman was indignant: “Mag, what do you mean? First, you seize Miss Xaviera’s store, say some nonsense to make customers misunderstand her, then you start questioning her identity, and even plot

against her! How can you be so scheming at such a
young age! I bet all the bad rumors about Miss Xaviera outside were spread by you!”
Xaviera couldn’t help but glance at him. Manager Bateman truly hit the nail on the head.
Moore Mamet was also shocked by this sudden turn of events: “This store is Xaviera’s? Mag, what’s going on?”
Didn’t they say that before Xaviera got married, the shares would be temporarily held by the Evans family?
Mag’s face stiffened, her nails digging into her palm. She wanted to know what was going on too!
She bit her l*p, took a deep breath, and tried to appease Moore with a soft voice: “Moore, I’m not too clear about this either. Dad never mentioned transferring shares… My sister has changed a lot recently, and sometimes I don’t understand what she’s saying. Since she said that this store belongs to her, it must be hers.”
As she spoke, she covertly looked at Xaviera and Manager Bateman, as if there was some conspiracy between them.

Moore misunderstood as expected.
He sneered with disdain: “Heh, resorting to unorthodox tactics and sinking low.”
Xaviera: “???”
What kind of riddle were these two playing?
She didn’t understand Mag’s glance, but that didn’t mean Manager Bateman didn’t understand either.
He trembled with anger: “Mag, what do you mean by what you just said! Explain yourself clearly in front of everyone! What do you mean your father never mentioned the share transfer, and what do you mean Xaviera has changed a lot lately? Are you saying that Miss Xaviera and I are in cahoots to deceive you?!”
Mag bit her l*p: “I…I didn’t mean that…”
People around couldn’t help but chime in: “Exactly, Mag already said she’s giving the store to Xaviera. Why are you still clinging to it?”
“I think Manager Bateman and Xaviera’s relationship isn’t ordinary. Otherwise, why would he help her so much?”
16 Chapter 16: The True Master
“Pah, shameless!”
Manager Bateman turned red with anger as he heard the surrounding people’s words. How could a middle–aged man like him be slandered like this?!
“Nonsense! You’re all talking nonsense! Unreasonable!”
Xaviera is the head of the Evans Group now. What’s wrong with him being respectful to her?! Where did he go wrong in saying that this store belongs to Xaviera?!
And Mag, who was so cunning at such a young age, only needed a few simple words to incite people around her to support her. It was terrifying!
“Alright, Manager Bateman…”
Xaviera raised her hand to calm Manager Bateman’s emotions, her gaze sweeping over the few customers who had just spoken, and slowly began to speak.
