Chapter 1134: Is Caleb Mamet a Jinx?

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Is Caleb Mamet a Jinx?

After settling down in Caleb Manor, Caleb Mamet found a study room inside to handle his work, while Xaviera Evans wandered around leisurely.

Soon, Noah Reed made a phone call, "Miss, are you in Caleb Manor?"

"Yeah, who did the cleaning here?" Xaviera asked.

She knew that Caleb had sent someone to clean up the place, but as enormous as Caleb Manor was, its maintenance would be a huge task, impossible for one or two people to accomplish. However, sending people to clean up Caleb Manor ostentatiously in the Drew family compound was unrealistic, so it was very likely that it was someone arranged by Caleb inside the Drew family who did the cleaning.

Noah hesitated for a moment before replying, "Caleb Manor has always been sealed off, and Lord Drew forbade anyone from entering. It looks desolate and dilapidated from the outside, but no one knows what it’s like inside. Since Miss Winni Drew’s death, the Drew family members also considered it bad luck and rarely approached it."

"When I heard that Vivian Drew asked you to stay in Caleb Manor, I thought about sending someone to clean it up, but it’s unexpectedly clean and tidy inside. It doesn’t look deserted for twenty years, more like someone has always been living here."

Xaviera instantly understood, "I got it, you don’t need to come."

Apparently, these years, Caleb had been sending people to clean this place. Even after Miss Winni Drew’s death, he wanted to restore it to its former appearance as if she were still alive.

After hanging up the phone, Xaviera walked along the path in Caleb Manor toward the outside when suddenly—

"This jinx! He’s responsible for Lord Drew being unconscious, just like that bitch Winni Drew!" A sharp and vicious female voice rang out. Xaviera seemed unfamiliar with the voice, probably a member of an offshoot of the Drew family.

But the jinx referred to in this person’s mouth should be Caleb, right?

Xaviera’s eyes narrowed slightly, clenching her fists.

The voice was sharp, filled with intense anger and hatred. Even without seeing the woman’s face, one could tell that her eyes were filled with resentment at the moment.

"Winni Drew was a seductive vixen! A jinx, her son is no good either! They should live in Caleb Manor, abandoned for twenty years, and it’s better if they reunite sooner!"

As the words fell, a young man’s voice came from the side, "Mom, do you mean that Boyd Drew is also a jinx?"

The woman scoffed, "Boyd is different from her! He has a conscience. Since he took office, he promoted your father to the general manager of the subsidiary company. While when Winni was alive, she looked down on our family, thinking we’re the offshoot of the Drew family, reluctant to promote us. She made your father start at the grassroots level. She didn’t have the slightest family affection in her heart, just selfishness. It’s not surprising she died young!"

Xaviera couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Boyd himself was a waste, and how powerful could the people he promoted be? Miss Winni allowed that person to work from the grassroots level because she felt he wasn’t capable of taking on high positions. It was all because of their incompetence that they were resentful towards Miss Drew!

Back when Miss Drew was in charge, the Drew Corporation was a top-notch wealthy family in Libanan, with boundless glory. Now that it’s in Boyd’s hands, it’s barely struggling to survive. Isn’t this proof enough?

On the other side, the middle-aged woman was still indignant, "I only borrowed some money temporarily from the company, and Winni kept rushing me to pay it back. The Drew family is so wealthy, the money I took was just a drop in the bucket! She even dismissed me from the company, making me lose face publicly. And there’s Caleb Mamet..."

Mentioning Caleb, the middle-aged woman seemed a bit scared and lowered her voice, "Even if he has the Mamet Corporation now, so what? He’s still despised by the Drew family. Who in the entire Drew family respects him? A child born of a bitch isn’t a good thing either. Whoever associates with him will be unlucky!"

Xaviera clenched her fists so firmly that they creaked. Why was she so drawn to hitting someone right now?

She figured it out, the two people who had just been badmouthing Caleb in the courtyard on the other side were present here. Caleb had led her into Caleb Manor, so she was able to resist not hitting them. But now they dared to gossip behind their backs?

It seemed that they needed a lesson, or else they would never learn!

The middle-aged woman was still complaining, "The Drew family owns so many businesses, but they were not even willing to arrange a position for your father. They were so stingy with their own family, they deserved to die!"

The young man also chimed in, "Yeah! Keep the wealth within the family! Since the Drew family’s business is so big, it’s better to hire our family as general managers than outsiders. We will definitely stand by the Drew family, how could outsiders be as devoted as we are?"
