Lance Steel thought to himself and found this explanation feasible. After all, it shifted the blame to an imaginary person, harming no one. Moreover, he had already made it easier for Xaviera Evans by offering her a way out, so he didn't think she would refuse.
If the matter were blown up, it would do him no good and could even get him in trouble.
Lance Steel nodded his head, "Mr. Connell is right. With Miss Evans' talent, she has absolutely no need to cheat. This must be a misunderstanding."
Joan Lentz hastened to concur, "So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood Miss Evans."
Watching the two of them go back and forth, Xaviera Evans almost laughed in anger. They dared steal her work and force her to swallow her resentment?
She was Xaviera Evans, not some pushover!
