Chapter 957 -957: Keeping the Secret for Him
âWhatâs wrong?â Elijah Flack asked.
Xaviera Evans didnât know what to say, but she just felt that she couldnât leave Caleb Mamet, so she shook her head: âNever mind, Iâm not in the mood right now.â
Elijah Flack was somewhat surprised. Xaviera usually loved excitement, and as long as he invited her, she would participate in such events. Was it possible that she had already sensed something?
Elijah Flack suddenly thought of Caleb Mametâs eyes. Had Xaviera already found out the truth, and thatâs why she refused to go anywhere, insisting on staying by Calebâs side?
âGo ahead.â A cold voice came. Caleb Mamet took off his coat, his tall and straight body stood at the door, his icy eyes fell on Elijah Flack.
Previously, when Elijah Flack came, although Caleb Mamet was not enthusiastic, he did not have the warning look in his eyes like now. It seemed that Elijahâs guess was right.
âHuh?â Xaviera was taken aback.
Caleb Mamet said indifferently: âWhat program are you going to participate in?â
Elijah Flack explained: âItâs a fashion design program. Each celebrity will choose a designer to participate in the competition together, showcasing their designs to the audience.â
Caleb Mamet nodded: âWell, thatâs good. You should go. I happen to be going to Torree City too. We can go together, and then we can come back after the variety show.â
âWhat a coincidence.â Elijah Flack said meaningfully.
The atmosphere fell silent for a few seconds before Caleb Mamet suddenly looked up and coldly stared at Elijah Flack: âMister Flack, is there anything else?â
Elijah Flack couldnât help but smile. Caleb Mamet was eager to get him to leave!
âMr. Caleb Mamet, do you have time? Can we have a talk?â
Caleb Mametâs pupils suddenly contracted, and his body exuded a cold chill, âAlright, letâs go upstairs.â
Xaviera watched the two menâs leaving figures, confused. Wasnât her brother here to inform her about the news? Why did he go to talk to Caleb Mamet? Was he going to confront him?
In the study room.
Caleb Mamet leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his eyes downcast, his tone indifferent, âWhat does Mister Flack want to say?â
âI heard that you have an important meeting and were about to leave when I came. How come you left for only a few minutes and then returned? Are you afraid that your secret would be exposed, so you hurried back?â Elijah Flack raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of ridicule.
Caleb Mametâs lips tightened.
âYou know I found out your secret, and you fear that I will tell Xaviera. Thatâs why you hurried back, trying to stop me. Are you experiencing symptoms from the poison?â
Caleb Mamet remained expressionless, but his emotions were not hidden in his eyes. This was a sign of anger.
âYour poison has flared up, which means that you and Xaviera are no longer connected by bloodlines. The reason for this consequence is that you havenât drawn her blood for a long time. Xaviera once told me that every time you detoxificate her, itâs done while sheâs asleep, so she has never actually seen you detoxificate.â
Elijah Flack chuckled: âMr. Caleb Mamet, youâre a smart man. You can hide the truth from people for a while, but not forever. Now that the poison has attacked you and left you with serious side effects. Previously, you would only go blind in darkness, but now even during the daytime, thereâs a possibility of your blindness.â
Caleb Mamet suddenly looked up, his eyes sharp.
âMr. Caleb Mamet, donât be so resentful. I may be the disciple of the miracle doctor Saint Hand, and although I didnât learn medicine, I can at least see the signs. Maybe you didnât expect me to suddenly visit, so you exposed your secret in front of me. HoweverâŠâ
Elijah Flack paused, his eyes suddenly lit up, âYou are Caleb Mamet, how could you be so easily discovered by others? I guess you did it on purpose, didnât you?â
Caleb Mametâs slender fingers caressed the cup and couldnât help but chuckle.
Looking at Caleb Mametâs smile, Elijah Flack suddenly felt that he had been manipulated by this man. Caleb Mamet knew that he was afraid to hurt Xavieraâs feelings, so he wouldnât tell her the truth. In a hurry, Caleb rushed back to clarify the secret to him.
After a moment of silence, Caleb Mamet casually spoke: âYes, I did it on purpose. Since people will find out about it sooner or later, itâs better to let Mister Flack know first, so weâre in the same boat.â
âSo you want me to keep your secret?â Elijah Flack asked helplessly.
âOf course, Iâm sure without me saying, Mister Flack wouldnât tell Xaviera.â Caleb Mamet said with a smile, suddenly a trace of sadness crossed his eyes. âI believe Mister Flack knows that this kind of poison is almost incurable; otherwise, Saint Hand would not have been helpless back then, watching my mother die. Now only the descendant of Saint Hand can cure this poison, but itâs not a good idea since it has already had an impact on Xaviera.â
