Chapter 705: Chapter 705: Let Her Taste the Feeling of Losing
Tracy Swift was a smart woman. She knew that she couldnât outsmart Caleb Mamet, and if she became his enemy, the entire Swift family would suffer the consequences.
After a moment of contemplation, Tracy approached Xaviera Evans with a wine glass in hand, âXaviera, Iâm sorry. I didnât know that the calligraphy was a counterfeit.â
âI never thought my father would make such a mistake. I misunderstood you unintentionally, Xaviera. Can you forgive me?â
Tobey Swift haughtily said, âThe hostess of the Mamet family wouldnât hold a grudge over such a petty matter, right?â
Xaviera felt annoyed, wondering if these two idiots would ever stop. She didnât go after them to settle accounts, already giving them a lot of face, and yet they dared to come and cause trouble?
Just as she was about to speak, Caleb Mamet slowly walked over from the other side, âMiss Swift.â
Tracy smiled faintly, neither obsequious nor distant, striking a perfect balance, âMr. Caleb Mamet.â
Caleb Mamet curved the corner of his lips, âMiss Swift, has anyone ever told you that youâre quite ugly?â
Yigol Mamet: â???â Big brother, are we being so straightforward now? Although he also thought Miss Swift was unattractive, isnât it face-slapping to say it in front of her? This isnât leaving any face for others at all!
Xavieraâs mouth twitched slightly. She almost forgot that the current Caleb Mamet was his other personality, proud and sarcastic by nature.
Although Caleb Mamet hadnât experienced much, he wasnât stupid either. The Swift family was a porcelain family, and the family head was a famous collector. How could he possibly own a fake? Tracy Swift knew beforehand that the calligraphy was a counterfeit, but pretended not to know. When the truth came to light, she claimed to be a victim of deceit. Does she really take everyone for fools?
Seeing Tracyâs face, Caleb Mamet felt annoyed and said directly, âMiss Swift, itâs not your fault that youâre ugly, but itâs wrong to come out and scare people.â
Tracyâs smile froze on her face, her mouth twitching, wanting to burst with anger but not daring to. With great difficulty, she pulled out a smile. The crying-yet-smiling expression was indeed extremely unpleasant to look at. It took her quite a while to control her face and restore her aloofness.
âMrs. Mamet, itâs my fault for this matter. Itâs natural that you donât forgive me. I will offer an apology and hope that you can accept it.â Tracy Swift said.
Yigol Mamet snorted coldly, âFirst return the âEarly Winter Snow Paintingâ! Just saying sorry without giving anything back, you have quite the nerve!â
Tracyâs face turned pale, and she thought: since birth, she had been a well-bred lady, receiving everyoneâs admiration everywhere she went. She was the most eye-catching existence among the noble ladies. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
She fell silent for a moment, her eyes reddened and left.
Yigol suddenly furrowed his brows, âCaleb, do you have a bad feeling about this? How could Boyd Drew just leave like that? I always find it strange if he doesnât create any trouble! Both my mother and Drew are unscrupulous to achieve their goals. How can they just leave it at that?!â
âCould there be other tricks up their sleeves? Anyway, youâve attended the birthday banquet. You and Xaviera should tell grandma and leave first!â
Caleb Mamet looked indifferent, âWe canât leave, or else weâll be giving others a handle to accuse us of being unfilial.â
âThat Boyd Drew is full of bad ideas! Who knows what evil schemes heâs plotting?! He wonât just let go! He will definitely find an opportunity to go after you guys!â Yigolâs deep black eyes were full of worry.
âYigol, donât worry, just enjoy your meal.â Xaviera used the serving chopsticks to pick some food for Yigol, and then asked with a smile, âDo you think Jenny Green cares a lot about being Mrs. Mamet?â
Yigol slapped the table fiercely, his face full of conviction, âOf course! If she didnât care, she wouldnât have the shame to become a mistress and assume the position! Although sheâs my mother, I still want to say one thing â she really has no shame!â
After saying that, Yigolâs eyes were filled with melancholy, âXaviera, in fact, I feel conflicted too. I know what sheâs doing is wrong, but after all, sheâs my mother, the one who gave me life. Sometimes I even wish I was the wrong child taken by the Mamet family, so I wouldnât be her son anymore, and I wouldnât have to be torn between you guys.â
âShe did so many wrong things to gain power, even causing Miss Drewâs death, and using Caleb Mamet to secure her position. Actually, she doesnât love me either. She never treated me as her son but only as a tool to consolidate her status.â
Xaviera patted his hand sympathetically, and then smiled meaningfully, âSince she cares, let her taste the bitterness of losing.â</p
