Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Honey for One, Poison for Another
Caleb Mametâs words echoed in every corner of the living room, with Sam and Sean Price bowing their heads, while Steve Price was extremely excited, hoping that the president could properly deal with this whimsical old man!
Robert Powell was born as the noble Mr. Mamet of the Powell family. After becoming an adult, he inherited a title, and no one ever spoke to him in such a tone. Caleb Mamet was the only one.
His face was pale, his eyes filled with anger, "Caleb Mamet!"
Caleb Mamet still looked indifferent, with a hint of a smile as he looked at Robert Powell, not caring about his anger at all.
"I am also doing this for her benefit. As long as she returns to Yittaland with me, she will become the Powell familyâs daughter. Isnât it great to be a countessâs sister?" Robert Powellâs face turned red with anger.
Caleb Mamet replied casually, "No, she doesnât like it."
Since childhood, Robert Powell had been well-educated and had cultivated a gentle and humble character. In Yittaland, he was known as a gentle gentleman who would not get angry because it would ruin his image. At this moment, he was trying hard to suppress the rage in his heart.
After calming down for a while, Robert Powell gradually regained his composure and sighed helplessly, "Xaviera, I really hope you can go back. Youâre still young and have a few friends around you. Maybe you think blood relationships are not important, but when you really encounter trouble, youâll know how important family is. As long as you return to Romulan City, Dad will handle everything for you, and I will do my best to make up for the lost time and make you the happiest noble lady!"
Xaviera quietly looked at Robert Powell.
Perhaps Robert Powell genuinely wanted to be good to her, but asking her to give up everything in Libanan and move to Yittaland was simply unrealistic.
Robert Powellâs idea was selfish. He only wanted to make up for his inner regrets but never considered whether she was willing or not. He believed that what he gave to his children was the best, and they should not refuse their fatherâs arrangements. They should obediently live according to his wishes.
He was too opinionated, not allowing others to refuse or oppose.
One manâs meat is another manâs poison. Perhaps for most people, becoming the daughter of the Powell family is a happy thing, having a father who loves her and holds her in the palm of his hand. She wouldnât have to do anything, just spend money recklessly. Whatever she wanted to do, her father would do his best to satisfy her, which seemed to be what many girls dream of, but there will always be those who dislike it.
For Xaviera, Robert Powell was still a stranger. They had only met for the first time, and he was insisting that she abandon her current life and move to the unfamiliar Romulan City. With her strong personality, she would never agree to it.
Robert Powell continued to persuade patiently, "Xaviera, the few companies in Libanan arenât worth much. If you really enjoy running a company, I will set one up for you once we go to Romulan City. You can leave everything here behind, and weâll take a private jet..."
"Mr. Powell." Xavieraâs voice was cold, cutting him off. "My husband has already made it very clear just now: no one can force me."
The light in Robert Powellâs eyes dimmed in an instant. "Xaviera, how can you be so heartless?"
Xaviera felt somewhat helpless. If she had grown up by Robert Powellâs side, she might have become his ideal daughter, the noble daughter of the Powell familyâa beautiful yet incapable mistress.
Now, Xaviera had completely run out of patience. Before she could say anything, Caleb Mamet spoke out, his voice sharp, "Mr. Powell, our intentions have been made very clear. If youâre willing to stay as a guest, weâll welcome you, but you canât take Xaviera away. If you insist on doing so, I will risk my life today and not let you take her away."
Caleb Mametâs whole body exuded a strong murderous intent, not hiding the coldness in his eyes, which frightened Robert Powell into retreating a few steps.
In Yittaland, he was respected and admired. He had never been threatened like this. His life was smooth sailing without any obstacles, which is why he still had a child-like innocence despite his age.
Robert Powell couldnât help but glance at Xaviera, his lips moving slightly, still not giving up, "Xaviera, canât you reconsider?"
"Mr. Powell." Sean Price knew his wife didnât want to say more, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Powell, your visit was so sudden, and youâve only just met my wife for the first time. Itâs normal for her to be unable to accept it at this moment. Why not give her some more time? Some things require a process of adaptation."
Sean Priceâs words gave Robert Powell a glimmer of hope and also stopped any further comments. Robert Powell was speechless, not knowing what to say.
