As per tradition, the Reiser family's charity dinner was structured around an open auction of items donated by the guests. The highest bidder won the item and, in the end, the Reiser family would donate all the proceeds.
Caleb Mamet, holding Xaviera Evans' hand, noticed her silence and turned to ask her, "Xaviera, what are you thinking about?"
Snapping back to reality, Xaviera glanced at Wayne Reiser in the distance, "I wonder what kind of past did Wayne Reiser and Joyce Jones share?"
She had known Joyce Jones for so many years but he never mentioned his past. Xaviera only knew that he grew up in an orphanage and was later sponsored to attend school, which led to his eventual success.
From his childhood, Joyce Jones was diligent and eager to learn. He had always wanted to thank the person who sponsored his education. One day, he told Xaviera with hopeful and excited eyes, "Xaviera, I'm leaving this place. I've found my benefactor and I'm going to meet him."
