Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Not Very Lethal, Extremely Insulting
Yvette Flackâs face was as pale as a ghost. How on earth did she become a maid? She was clearly here to serve Mr. Caleb Mamet, she could make coffee for Caleb Mamet, but how could she be ordered around by Xaviera Evans?
Her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful, she said, âMr. Caleb Mamet, I⊠Iâm here to serve you. I thought you understood what Mrs. Mamet meant, I am yoursâŠâ
âWhat does Miss Flack think she is here for?â Caleb Mamet interrupted her, sneering: âThe maid who usually takes care of my wifeâs daily needs happened to be on leave, so I agreed to bring you back. Otherwise, could you have even entered the Lowen Clubhouse?â
A thick fog clouded Yvetteâs mind. Sheâs the daughter of the Flack family, why on earth should she take care of Xaviera Evansâ daily routines?
âMiss Flack, canât you handle this job?â Caleb Mamet asked casually.
Yvetteâs eyes reddened as she sobbed. âMr. Caleb Mamet, Mrs. Mamet sent me here to be with you. Even if you donât like me, you shouldnât insult me like this! Whatâs more, Miss Evans didnât object when you brought me back. If sheâs not bothered, why should youâŠâ
Before she could finish her sentence, Yvette suddenly felt a tightened grip around her neck. It was squeezing harder and harder â as if it intended to break her neck.
Yvette stared in horror at the man in front of her. She could feel the cold murderous intent in Caleb Mametâs eyes. If he clenches his hand a little tighter, it would surely be the end of her life.
Caleb Mametâs eyes were fierce, his voice icy: âMiss Flack, I donât have the time for your nonsense! Didnât Jenny Green tell you beforehand, what kind of person I am?â
Yvette was trembling uncontrollably. She could feel the oxygen being progressively sucked out from her lungs, causing her face to turn red. Subconsciously struggling, she felt as if she was at deathâs door.
How could he kill someone so easily?
âServe my wife, understood?â Although it was a question, Caleb Mametâs voice contained an undeniable authority. If Yvette dared utter a word of objections, her life may end up lost the very next moment.
As soon as Caleb Mamet let go of his hand, Yvette dropped to the ground in a heap. The fresh air rushed into her lungs as she coughed violently. However, she had no time for hesitation and stuttered, âI⊠*cough* *cough*⊠am going to make coffee for Mrs. Mamet now.â
Watching Yvette hurriedly escape from the study, Xaviera Evans curiously asked, âYou asked Yvette to come to Lowen clubhouse, just to be a maid?â
Caleb Mamet replied, âYes, exactly! You happened to need someone to take care of you, and she voluntarily offered herself. With Mrs. Mamet paying the wages, I got a maid for free. Why not take advantage of that?â
Xaviera Evans fell into silence. It must be said, Caleb Mamet handled the situation beautifully.
Then calmly, Caleb Mamet continued, âIâm not the kind of man who stoops to argue with these kind of women, but if they donât get a taste of their own medicine, they wouldnât understand their place. Therefore, I prefer handling these types of situations. The reason they think I indulge them is that I do not pay attention to such petty provocations. But I do not tolerate any disrespect.â
The man he was referring to was the original Caleb Mamet, who indeed did not stoop to compete with women. Even when confronted with Yvetteâs blatant seduction, heâd chose to ignore.
But the actions of the current Caleb Mamet, although not life-threatening, were extremely humiliating. Thereâs no question Yvette would be up all night fuming over the incident.
âBy resolving these petty issues for him, he should be pleased, right? Moreover, they were the ones who came seeking trouble. I am justified in my actions, arenât I?â
Xaviera Evans obediently nodded, âNo, Itâs not excessive.â
The original Caleb Mamet was more mature, calm and composed, never revealing his emotions. Even if he couldnât stand Jenny Green, he wouldnât rashly act out. But this Caleb Mamet wouldnât spoil anyone. Whoever dared to provoke him, they would face the consequences without even knowing what hit them!
Following the incident, Xaviera Evans descended the staircase and made for the refrigerator.
Caleb Mamet asked, âWhat are you getting?â
Xaviera stiffened, assuming that Caleb Mamet, with his jumbled memory, wouldnât interfere with her. Thus, she replied calmly, âIâm getting ice cream, is there a problem?â
Caleb Mamet frowned immediately as soon as the words left her mouth, âWho gave you permission to eat ice cream? At this time of the year? Youâre still eating ice cream! Arenât you afraid of a stomach ache?â
âYouâre hardly a child anymore, yet you crave for sweet things like one. Always overdoing it with the ice cream, itâll only make you uncomfortable when itâs that time of the month. No wonder he always reminded me to take care of you!â
Xaviera Evans: â?â
What? Can your two personalities even have a conversation with each other?

Meanwhile, Yvette had prepared a fresh cup of coffee and was just about to take it upstairs. But she discovered that the couple had already retreated to their room. She couldnât contain her outrage and smashed the delicate coffee cup onto the floor.
