She believed in her success. No man could resist her, and she trusted that the head of the Mamet family would be no exception. Once she became the patriarchâs wife of the Mamet family, the outside world would be even more envious of her. As for Xaviera⊠she was merely a dog under her feet, wasnât she subject to her manipulation?
âMag, Mag, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?â
Mooreâs words brought Mag back from her daydreams. She hid her thoughts and gave Moore a gentle smile: âI was just taken aback by the sight of this beautiful villa. What were you saying to me, Moore?â
âI was saying, Iâll first talk to the patriarch. You know he doesnât like women much. So, speak up when he asks about you, otherwise, donât interrupt.â After repeating what he had just said, Moore added, âThis villa was designed by a world-renowned architect for the patriarch, of course, itâs exceptionally beautiful.â
This mansion symbolized status and unlimited wealth.
A glint of light flashed in Magâs eyes before returning to calm. She sighed softly: âItâs a shame, if my sister could be here, it would be even better. She particularly likes these elegant mansions, maybe because of the hard times in our childhood, she values money a lot and enjoys the life of glory and wealth. Thatâs why she wouldâŠâ
She paused for a moment before continuing, âIf she could see this mansion, she probably wouldnât treasure those old and ugly men.â
Moore didnât want to hear Xavieraâs name at this moment. He patted Mag on the shoulder, âDonât overthink it. Her downfall has nothing to do with you. Youâve done everything you should and could, but she didnât have the will power, she chose her own path.â
Mag pursed her lips, looking crestfallen.
Indeed, Xaviera had chosen a path of no return. But Magâs future was a straight and wide road to the sky. She was going to be the future matriarch of the Mamet family, exalted by everyone.
Thinking of the future, Magâs smile became even more triumphant. Looking around at the splendid and elegant environment, her eyes were filled with an unyielding determination.
Inside the mansion, Xaviera was sitting in the coffee shop, drinking the coffee brewed by Steve Price himself. She sighed in satisfaction: âI never expected, Steve, that you could make such a good brew, working for Caleb is a real waste of your talent.â
Steve rubbed his head embarrassingly, âMaâam, youâre too kind. My brewing skills are just mediocre at best. Itâs because youâre generous.â
Xaviera waved her finger, âNo, no, no, Iâm serious, I donât often praise people.â
Having been spoiled by the coffee brewed by Master Pauer since she was a child, it was not easy for someone to earn her praise. So, Steveâs brew was indeed exceptional.
As Caleb watched the two of them sitting on the tatami in the coffee shop, giving and receiving compliments, his eyes grew darker and darker. Do these two think heâs dead?
Normally, Steve was very sensitive to Calebâs moods, but today, he was too surprised. He couldnât believe that the sexy and glamorous woman who came downstairs from the upper floor was the lady of the house. The lady of the house was awesome, truly a chameleon!
Excited, he had taken the initiative to offer to make coffee for the lady. He didnât expect that she would agree and even praise him for his good brewing skills.
âMaâam, have you had a lot of coffee brewed by masters?â
âYes, like that barista, Master Pauer, his brew is great. Itâs my favorite.â
Master Pauer?
Heâs a globally recognized barista!
âNext time Master Pauer comes to Libanan, Iâll arrange for you two to meet. That old guy, Pauer, is passionate about brewing coffee and loves teaching people. If you donât learn, he shakes his head and sighs that the ancestral skill is going to be lost. So annoying.â As Xaviera drank her coffee and groused, âIf his brew wasnât so good. I wouldnât have bothered listening to his nonsense.
But he and you should have a lot in common.â
Steve was a bit excited, âReally? I heard Master Pauer is quite indifferent. Heâs so passionate about brewing that he seldom goes out or talks.â
Xaviera looked at him with a speechless expression, âYoung man, rumors can be misleading.â
Steve scratched his head in embarrassment, âReally? Iâve never seen Master
Pauer before, only occasionally see his news on TV.â
âIf the old guy, Pauer, knew someone adores him so much, his tail could rocket to the sky.â Xaviera rolled her eyes, held out her hand to Steve, âGive me your phone. Iâll give you Pauerâs WhatsApp.â
Watching their increasingly friendly conversation, Caleb spoke up with a gloomy tone, âSteve, youâre not getting paid this month..â
