Translator: 549690339
Hearing Derek Evansâs words, Mag Evansâs chest heaved as tears flooded down her cheeks, ruining her carefully applied makeup.
Only then did Albert Sullivan laugh: âMr. Evans is indeed wise, not being bewitched by the mistress and her illegitimate daughter. Our cooperation can continue as expected. I happen to be going to the Coriell family, I can give Miss Evans a ride. I like playing with people of proper status, as for Miss Mag
EvansâŠâ
He paused, and continued: âAs Mr. Evans just said, these two cars belong to Xaviera, meaning that Mag has no car⊠Since she has no car, she can walk to the Coriell familyâs house. Itâs not too far from here, right, Mr. Evans?
Derek Evans could not fail to hear the threat in Albert Sullivanâs words. Since he had decided to appease Mr. Sullivan, he could only temporarily inconvenience Mag. He nodded reluctantly, âMr. Sullivanâs words make a lot of sense, Mag, youâll have to walk to the Coriell family.â
âDad!â Mag Evans called Oilt in disbelief-
Albert Sullivan paid the family no attention and directly extended his hand to Xaviera with a welcoming gesture, âMiss Evans, after you.â
Xaviera Evans, with a smile on her face, said goodbye to her sister and others: âSorry, Little sister, youâll have to walk to the Coriell family. It breaks my heart to think of you walking there, but dad has spoken, and I canât plead your case. I hope youâll have better luck in your next life â I told you being the illegitimate daughter isnât easy.â
The car drew away, and Mag, unable to control herself, fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
Derek Evans, heartbroken, comforted her âMag, you have to be strong. Dad is just trying to act for the greater good. A temporary inconvenience will do you no harm. Once Mr. Sullivanâs funds are in place, we can kick Xaviera out of the house and avenge you. Then all of the Evans family, including Miss Evansâ position, will be yours. The car, too, will be yours. Donât cry now.â
On the way to the Coriell family, Albert Sullivanâs car was suddenly stopped. He frowned, âWhoâs brave enough to stop my car, wanting to risk his life?â
At this point, Xaviera, who was texting on her phone in the passenger seat, looked up as if she had felt something. Her face went rigid.
Caleb Mamet, wearing a black windbreaker, was leaning against the railing not far away. He lazily waved at her, âMrs. Mamet, what a coincidence.â
Xaviera almost suffocated.
Caleb Mamet adjusted his cuffs, then took a pair of gloves out of his pocket and put them on leisurely. He bent down and knocked on the passenger window, âMrs. Mamet, you are very whimsical. You said youâd go to the Coriell family with me but ended up getting on another manâs car halfway through?â
Albert Sullivan recognized who this was at first sight. His expression shifted from surprise to doubt, then shock before calming down. He patted Xavieraâs shoulder, âXaviera, is this gentleman your betrothed?â
Xaviera: â
Caleb Mamet glanced at his hand on Xavieraâs shoulder and greeted him casually, âMr. Sullivan.â
Perhaps it was because similar people attract each other. Albert Sullivanâs first impression of Caleb Mamet was positive. Most importantly, Xaviera had chosen this man herself, and he liked whoever Xaviera liked.
Albert Sullivan showed a rather friendly smile, âMr. Mamet,â Then he turned his head to Xaviera and said, âXaviera, you have good taste. This Mr. Mamet is much better than your fiancĂ© who disappears and reappears like a ghost.â
The smile on Calebâs face got bigger.
Yes, itâs very pleasing to be referred to as a dead fiancĂ©.
Albert Sullivan didnât understand why Caleb was hostile towards him, even though he had already expressed friendly intentions. After considering for a while, he thought Caleb might be jealous of his relationship with Xaviera. But itâs not his fault for knowing her first. Itâs fate.
Even so, he didnât show any sense of superiority in front of Caleb. Instead, he tactfully suggested, âXaviera, you should go with Mr. Mamet. I donât have an invitation letter. I will come over at the critical moment.â
Caleb Mamet sneered and directly pulled the car door open, dragging Xaviera away from the car.
Albert Sullivan:
Now he could confirm that Caleb Mamet was greatly hostile to him. But why?! Just because of his good relationship with Xaviera?! This man is seriously jealous?!
Xaviera followed Caleb into the car, feeling a little uneasy.
Caleb Mametâs fingers laid idle on the steering wheel, not yet starting the car. Xaviera sat quietly in the co-pilot seat without hurrying him. Until Caleb couldnât help looking at her: âIs Mrs. Mamet very close to Mr. Sullivan?â Xaviera: ââŠ.â Was this what they call settling accounts after autumn?
