Chapter 78: Chapter 78: You Stole My Wife
Translator: 549690339
There was silence in the car for a while. Xaviera cautiously looked up and saw that Calebâs face hadnât changed much. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter of her deceased fiancĂ© had passed and that Caleb was no longer interested in it.
Xaviera glanced out the window and grinned as she spoke, âCaleb, can you stop the car here? I need to goâŠâ
Before she could finish, the car whizzed past.
Xaviera: â
At this point, Caleb spoke slowly, âPretend Iâm old and canât hear you, or you can just assume that Iâm dead.â
Xaviera: â
Why did he use her words about her deceased fiancé to block her? Was it because he thought she was lying? How could it be? She was so sincere in what she said!
News that the Coriell family had acquired âFleeting Time,â the one-of-a-kind gown from Miss Lohill, spread overnight in upper-class society.
All friendly families involved in the fashion industry received the Coriell familyâs invitation, including the Evans family. Upon agreeing to meet with Albert, Xaviera found out he was now working for the Evans Group. Xaviera was surprised, âWhen did you sneak into the Evans Group?â
Albertâs tone was languid, âTo help you get some revenge.â
Xaviera grinned and followed Albert openly. Recently, Caleb seemed to be in a strange mood. He looked down on her, spoke to her sarcastically, and she didnât want to be with him. Albert was there, so she decided to hang out with him.
Upon learning that Xaviera had run off with her brother, Caleb sneered and tossed the contract he held to the side. He closed his eyes and calmed himself for a while before speaking, âSteve, I have some instructions.â âMr. Caleb Mamet, what are your instructions?â
âContact Mr. Janell and ask if Caleb has been too idle lately.â
Stealing someone elseâs wife right under his nose? So what if it was Xavieraâs brother? Xaviera was already married. At this point, her husband should be the most important figure!
Steveâs expression was difficult to describe.
Mr. Caleb Mamet, even if your wife is Miss Xaviera, you canât just monopolize her like this! This will only make things worse! Her impression of you is already bad. Instead of gradually winning her favor, youâre provoking her brotherâyour future brother-in-lawâŠ
Steve thought that Caleb was going to play himself to death, potentially losing his wife in the process.
âAlsoâŠâ Caleb suddenly remembered something and commanded leisurely, âThe Coriell familyâs gown is fake. You know what to do, right?â
Of course, the more impressive thing was Calebâs intention to expose this matter publicly, completely disregarding the Coriell familyâs reputation. The Mamet family had many ongoing collaborations with the Coriell family, so their downfall wouldnât benefit them. Considering it from a profit standpoint, Steve wanted to advise Caleb to think more carefully.
However, Calebâs next words were, âThe Coriell family has offended her. Even if they die, they deserve it.â
Steve immediately shut his mouth.
It turned out to be a case of a manâs rage for his beloved woman. In that case, it shouldnât be a problem.
Downstairs at the Evans Group building, Albert had gone to park the car while Xaviera waited. Soon enough, Albert rushed back huffily, âI donât know whatâs gotten into Master, suddenly calling to scold me, saying I stole some big shotâs wife. Hah!â
How could a single guy like him steal someoneâs wife?!
Xaviera was also puzzled, âHuh?â
âStealing his wife? Do you see any living female beings by my side? How could I steal his wife? Xaviera, do you think that big shot has a problem? Is it possible that heâs just unhappy with me and deliberately told Master to get back at me?â Xaviera wanted to nod but couldnât bring herself to do so.
She felt that she should meet the criteria that Albert described⊠a living female, but how could she be the big shotâs wife?
Xaviera agreed with Albertâs grievances, âExactly, that big shot must be jealous of you. Heâs envious that youâre young and handsome!â
Albert felt that Xavieraâs analysis made sense. âAlright, wait for me a moment. Iâll go upstairs to grab something and then take you to the Coriell familyâs banquet.â
Just then, a familiar voice echoed behind them, âMr. Sullivan?â
As Albert turned around, he met Derek Evansâ smiling face, âMr. Sullivan, what brings you to the Evans Group? Have you considered having a collaboration with our company?
Albert nodded coldly, âYes, I think the Evans Group is quite good..â
