Xaviera Evans subconsciously glanced at him.
This man⦠was he defending her?
Vita Coriellās face instantly stiffened.
Mrs. Mamet shouted angrily, āCaleb, what kind of nonsense are you saying? Vita is your fiancĆ©e, and the Coriell and Mamet families will be closer in the future. But you dare to say that youād bankrupt the Coriell family all for Xaviera Evans, this bitch? Have you lost your mind? Xaviera Evans, the mistress and temptress!ā
āMrs. Mamet, was my warning to you not valid?ā Caleb Mamet spoke
impatiently, āYou keep calling Xaviera a third party, placing yourself on a moral high ground. Have you forgotten your dark history of causing the death of the original wife and taking her place?ā
āYou clearly got your position by being the mistress, yet you pretend to hate mistresses and wish for them to die⦠It makes me doubt my memory that Mrs.
Mamet herself⦠is a mistress.ā
The air fell into a deadly silence.
Xaviera couldnāt help but widen her eyes. Mrs. Mamet was the mistress? Then
Calebā¦
Mrs. Mametās fingertips trembled slightly, āYou ungrateful child! If I am the mistress, then what are you? An illegitimate child who canāt be seen in public?!ā
Calebās eyes turned cold, āI am indeed an illegitimate child, which is why I never covet things that do not belong to me. However, it appears that Mrs. Mamet and Miss Coriell do not understand this.ā
Xaviera never expected that an argument would bring up the old grievances between the Mamet family from years ago. Mrs. Mamet could barely stand, feeling dizzy and stumbling back a step before collapsing onto the sofa. Seeing this, Vita quickly changed her tone, āCaleb⦠I mean, Mr. Mamet, donāt talk to Mrs. Jenny like that. She is just too concerned about you, so thatās why things are chaotic right nowā¦ā
āButler, show our guests out.ā
Caleb didnāt even glance at Vita, directly ordering the butler to close the door and escort the guests out.
Mrs. Mamet was kicked out of the villa by her own son, her whole body trembling with anger. Although Vita despised Mrs. Mametās incompetence, unable to let her stay in the villa, she knew that she could only rely on Mrs. Mamet, and thus spoke soothingly to her.
āMrs. Jenny, itās my fault. I shouldnāt have held on to illusions about Caleb, knowing that he was already married but still wanting to be with him. I⦠I just canāt accept that he abandoned me to get married like this⦠But the matter is settled now, and I tried my best. But with Calebās attitude towards me⦠What should I do, Mrs. Jenny? It seems like I canāt be your daughter-in-law anymore.ā
Vita grew more upset and emotional as she spoke, āMrs. Jenny, I donāt want to interfere with Calebās marriage, I donāt want to be the third party. I just want to know why Caleb chose Miss Evans over me.ā
Mrs. Mametās eyes darkened, āVita, rest assured, you will never be the third party. You are the daughter-in-law I recognize, the only one. The position of Mrs. Mamet is just temporarily taken by that bitch Xaviera Evans. You will take it back eventually.ā
Vita shook her head, sobbing, āI canāt take it back. Miss Evans can throw away her dignity, but I canāt⦠I canāt break their marriage⦠I can wait until they get divorced, I can wait for Caleb forever.ā
Vita planned everything carefully.
Her engagement to Caleb was all a lie, and Caleb appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day not for her. But no one knew about this except for Caleb and her. As long as she insisted that she was Calebās fiancĆ©e, she could maintain that Xaviera was a mistress for as long as she wanted to!
Mrs. Mamet grumbled, āThat Xaviera is nothing but a disgusting foxy woman. How could she compare to you? Vita, rest assured, my daughter-in-law will always be you, and I will help you take back the position of Mrs. Mamet.ā
Vita cried, āMrs. Jenny, I donāt care about any of this, you know I donāt care.
The only thing Iām afraid of is outsiders laughing at Caleb once they find out. After all, Miss Evans is not from the upper class and has never learned upper-class etiquette. I am afraid she will embarrass Caleb and bring trouble to him⦠Caleb is already tired from managing the company, and he finally married a wife thinking that she would help him share the burden. But instead, she only made it heavier.ā
Vita watched Mrs. Mametās expression as she choked, āMrs. Jenny, why donāt you help Miss Evans? Hire an etiquette teacher for her to teach her about the upper-class society. No matter how Caleb treats you, he is still your son. You cannot stand by and watch as Caleb is ridiculed bv others.ā
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mamet became even angrier, but she also admired Vitaās comprehensive thinking. She patted Vitaās hand, āYouāre always the most considerate, Vita..ā
