The bodyguard suddenly spoke up to explain: âDonât misunderstand, fellow students. Our Miss had no ill intentions. Itâs just that we heard Mr. Mamet and Miss Xaviera Evans had left in the same car, and Mr. Mametâs phone has been unreachable. Our Miss was a little worried, thatâs all. So she came to ask if you knew where Miss Xaviera Evans went so she could find Mr. Mamet.â
ThisâŠ
The students looked at each other in confusion.
Isnât Miss Coriell supposed to be Mr. Mametâs fiancĂ©e? Why would the fiancĂ©e need to contact Mr. Mamet through Xaviera?
Some students caught on to the key point â Xaviera knew that Miss Coriell had arrived, yet she still got in Mr. Mametâs car and left with him. Was she trying to be a mistress?
Vita Coriell saw that their expressions were off, and knew that her goal had been achieved. She let out a soft sigh: âNever mind, it doesnât matter. I believe
Caleb will come back⊠As for Xaviera⊠I donât care.â
She spoke with a wronged and teary tone. The students couldnât stand it.
Theyâd just said that Calebâs love for Vita was exceptional, even in high society. But reality slapped them in the face.
âHow could Xaviera do this? She clearly knows theyâre a couple, yet she still tried to seduce the man!â
âPoor Miss Coriell.â
âI heard people saying Xaviera was a mistress at the last forum, but I didnât believe it. Now it seems sheâs a habitual mistress!â
A smug smile flashed in Vitaâs eyes. She pretended to be at a loss: âIs that so?
What should I do⊠IâŠâ
Some students in the crowd were already filled with righteous anger and wanted to expose Xavieraâs true face on the forum again. Just then, a male voice cut through the crowd: âMiss Coriell, itâs better to make things clear and not be so ambiguous as to let people misunderstand.â
Steve Price came with an elegant smile: âI didnât want to step in, but as it involves Mr. Caleb Mamet and Miss Evansâ reputations, I have no choice but to Intervene. âlâne conell and mamet ramllles nave Deen working on a project together recently. Although the Coriell family values the project greatly, thereâs no need to use vague language to confuse people and make them think our Mr. Mamet has feelings for you, Miss Coriell. The Mamet family doesnât need to create gossip to promote a project.â
Vitaâs back stiffened.
Steve Price smiled and looked at everyone present, finally resting his eyes on Vita: âMiss Coriell, Iâm sorry. Although your family intends to enter the high-end clothing industry, our Mr. Mamet doesnât think much of your familyâs assets. So letâs call off this collaboration. Our Mr. Mamet doesnât like partners who engage in underhanded tactics.â
Vita Coriell shuddered: âAssistant PriceâŠâ
Steve Price smiled faintly: âAnd as for the so-called engaged couple, Miss Coriell knows very well whatâs going on. So please handle these rumors yourself, Miss Coriell. If we hear about Mr. Mamet admiring you or the Mamet and Coriell families marrying again, donât blame him for not considering family ties and taking action against you.â
Vitaâs face turned pale as snow. She didnât expect Steve Price to slap her in public like this. It must have been for that bitch Xaviera, right? It must have been because of that bitch Xaviera! Resentment and unwillingness flashed in Vitaâs heart. Why should Xaviera be protected by Caleb!
The students werenât fools. In just a few words, Steve Price made them understand what had really happened.
âAh? So the Mamet familyâs initiative to marry the Coriell family was fake? Was it just a rumor the Coriell family spread to promote the collaboration?â
âDamn, thatâs really despicable! I canât believe I believed in love in high society, thinking Caleb truly liked Miss Coriell. Now that I think about it, how could someone like the young master of the Mamet family fall for Miss Coriell?â
âArenât you curious why Miss Coriell tried to drag Xaviera into this? Is it because thereâs something between Xaviera and Caleb⊠and sheâs jealous?â
This speculation set off a wave of discussion among the students on the scene.
Steve Price pushed up his glasses and glanced off to the side, pretending he hadnât heard the studentsâ guesses.
Vita had always been arrogant since she was a child, surrounded by people praising her. She had always listened to their flattery from on high. But when had she ever experienced something like this? People around her were pointing fingers and looking down on her.
Her face flushed with anger, she glared at Steve Price and hopped into her car with the help of her bodyguard, leaving in a fit of rage. Steve Price watched with a smile as she left.
Meanwhile, in another car, Xaviera asked the still-chilled Caleb who had just got in: âWhat was Vita Coriell doing at Libanan University? Did she follow you here?â
Caleb glanced at her coldly: âMrs.. Mamet, are you jealous?â
