Translator: 549690339
Caleb Mamet didnât reveal his identity, and someone reminded him, âSir, weâre having a party here, did you walk into the wrong place?â
The manâs eyes dropped, his tone indifferent: âNo.â
âThis is a gathering of internet friends from our chat group, do youâŠâ
âI am Mortimer.â
Xaviera Evans shivered on the spot.
Dora widened her eyes and blurted out, âMortimer? Black Tide, didnât you say Mortimer is a big-bellied, greasy man?â
Xaviera Evans: â!!!â Damn! Sheâs done for. How could she possibly explain this?
This man is nothing like a big-bellied, greasy man!
Everyone looked on in admiration. âMortimer? Youâre the legendary Mortimer? Black Tide, did you actually invite Mortimer to come?â
âI never expected Mortimer would come to the gathering. Did you come here for Black Tide? Please have a seat!â
Mortimer was like a god in the hacker world, so his appearance immediately caused a huge stir.
They didnât expect Mortimer to show up. They were extremely excited, and what was supposed to be a casual meetup suddenly became like a fan meeting.
Caleb Mamet raised the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with a meaningful smile: âIt seems like you were just talking about my junior sisterâs husband? Why donât you tell me about it?â
Xaviera Evans laughed awkwardly, her legs going weak from fright.
What a disastrous scene! She regretted it so much! Why couldnât she keep her big mouth shut?!
She really didnât mean any harm; she was just bored and gossiped a little with her friend about her own husband. Besides, she didnât know Caleb Mamet would be her senior fellow at the time, so ignorance should be her excuse.
But who wouldâve thought Dora was still full of anger: âMortimer! You must help your junior sister!â
Caleb Mamet glanced at his wristwatch and raised an eyebrow.
Dora continued complaining, âMortimer, your junior sister married a scoundrel! He married Black Tide but always abused her, didnât give her meals, donât you want to avenge her?â
Caleb Mamet looked at Xaviera with a cold smile, âIs that so?â
Xavieraâs mouth twitched, âWell, IâŠIâŠâ
Calebâs face was full of âgentlenessâ, âJunior sister, come here.â
Dora pushed her in a hurry, âHurry up and go! Your senior fellow seems amazing, heâll definitely avenge you, and you wonât be bullied any longer.â
Xaviera bit her lip, her eyes full of despair. She walked hesitantly over to Caleb and laughed awkwardly.
The man bent down, moved closer to her ear, and lowered his voice to ask, âMrs. Mamet, I donât give you meals?â
Xaviera shivered all over, extremely nervous, stuttering, âThisâŠthis is a misunderstanding, please hear me outâŠâ
Before she could explain, Caleb chuckled, âYouâre so fat that you canât even fit into your old skirts, and you say I donât give you meals? What would you look like if I did?â
Xaviera: â?â
The words she was about to explain got stuck in her throat!
Fat? Donât you know that this word is like a death curse for women?!
F*ck! She suddenly felt all her previous complaints were justified. Caleb Mamet is a piece of sh*t!
Gaby Rome watched the two whispering and quietly closed their mouth. They actually wanted to tell everyone that Mortimer was Black Tideâs husband, but they thought itâd be better for the couple to reveal it themselves.
After a while, Caleb Mamet sat on the sofa and took a sip of coffee.
Although Star members rarely met in person, they often chatted online, and some had known each other for more than a decade. When they got together, they didnât feel like strangers and started gossiping.
âAlthough Black Tide calls Mortimer senior fellow, he should technically be her master, right?â
âYes, it was Mortimer who discovered Black Tideâs talent and taught her to become a hacker. Itâs just that Black Tide thought Mortimer was too young and didnât want to call him Master.â
There are many master-apprentice relationships within Star. Only a genius like Mortimer could establish rules, while others with great talent need guidance.
Someone whispered, âI seem to remember Mortimer saying that he wouldnât take apprentices. Maria wanted to be apprenticed to Mortimer and begged for many days, but Mortimer refused.â
At this moment, Xaviera was playing cards with her friend.
Dora was standing next to her, being noisy. Before she could finish speaking, the door to the card room was suddenly slammed open â
Everyone looked up, and saw a woman with a fierce look on her face.
