Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: I Have Never Been a Gentleman
Willie Novak clenched his fists, his fingers turning slightly white, and his usually gentle voice carried a hint of sharpness. "Why did you tell Xaviera that I orchestrated Wesley Taylorâs actions? I care so much about Xaviera, how could I force her to marry Wesley Taylor? I thought you were a gentleman, but it turns out youâre despicable, and you used this method to make Xaviera misunderstand me!"
Caleb Mamet revealed a subtle smile, not expecting Willie Novak to find out about this matter so quickly. It seemed that his power in Yittaland was indeed significant.
Even though he had been exposed, Caleb Mamet remained calm and showed no panic or embarrassment. Instead, he responded casually, "Mr. Novak, youâre mistaken. Iâve never claimed to be a gentleman."
"Are you not afraid that Xaviera will find out?" Willie Novakâs gaze suddenly turned ice-cold.
Caleb Mamet glanced at him and scoffed coldly, "So what? Xaviera is my wife, and we naturally understand and trust each other. This minor matter doesnât matter."
Willie Novak gritted his teeth, his voice low and dark, "Caleb Mamet, you met Xaviera ten years ago when you were her senior fellow, Mortimer, but she had never seen you before. She could marry you only because you are her senior fellow. There were no feelings between you two back then!"
"But Iâm different. I had been with Xaviera ten years ago. We met in the village, watched the sunrise and sunset together. Later on, the miracle doctor Saint Hand wanted to accept me as his disciple, and I almost became her senior fellow too!"
Caleb Mamet wasnât angry, but his eyes had more amusement when looking at Willie Novak. This opponent was impressive, finding out so quickly that he was Mortimer. It had to be said that Willie Novak was much stronger than Boyd Drew.
He had heard that Willie Novak was cold-hearted and decisive, but he couldnât control his emotions when it came to Xaviera.
After a moment of silence, Caleb Mamet sneered, "Mr. Novak, although you met Xaviera earlier, you donât know her at all. Actually, the matter with Wesley Taylor was a misunderstanding on her part, and I just didnât correct it. Such a flawed matter, but Xaviera thought you did it. Do you know why?"
Willie Novakâs face darkened.
"Itâs because, in her heart, you are the despicable villain. She doesnât trust you, so she thinks you would do such a thing. Since she already thinks this way, why should I correct it?"
Willie Novakâs body stiffened, disbelief flickering in his eyes.
â In her heart, he was a despicable villain. She didnât trust him, so thatâs why she thought that way?
The large restroom was silent as if time had stopped. Caleb Mamet glanced at his watch but didnât suggest leaving.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, hurried footsteps came from outside followed by Willie Novakâs assistantâs anxious voice, "Mister, itâs not good. Miss Kalafatis is arguing with a woman. Should you...?"
Willie Novak replied coldly, "If she wants to make a fuss, let her be. Donât expect me to clean up her mess if anything happens."
The assistant was choked up. After working with Mr. Novak for so many years, he was well aware of his cold-heartedness, but Mr. Novak never forgot about Miss Evans.
He hesitated for a few seconds before anxiously saying, "But... the person arguing with Miss Kalafatis is... Miss Evans."
Crashâ
Willie Novak stood up abruptly, and the medical book fell to the ground, its yellow pages slightly damaged.
Caleb Mamet also stood up slowly, his eyes incredibly sharp, "Mr. Novak, control your people and donât let her bother Xaviera. If Xaviera is wronged, I wonât spare her."
After saying that, Caleb Mamet pushed open the door and left, his steps slightly hurried. The assistant at the door, looking at the scene inside, couldnât help but shudder. Mr. Novak stood by the window, motionless.
After a long while, the assistant tentatively spoke, "Mister?"
Willie Novakâs voice was tinged with sadness, "In her eyes, am I really just a despicable villain?"
The assistant: "..." What do you think? Can you stop asking me these kinds of questions?
Willie Novak: "Asking you is useless. Go warn Penny Kalafatis. If she behaves, I can provide for her, but if she insists on provoking Xaviera, then Iâll send her to her death!"
The assistant shuddered, not expecting Mr. Novak to say such a thing. After all, Miss Kalafatis had been with him for so many years, and even if she had no merits, she had worked hard. To outsiders, Miss Kalafatis was already his fiancĂ©e, but he actually saidâif she had enough, he would send her to her death?
