Chapter 1434: Chapter 1434: You Look Like a Fool
At this moment, Twilight stood at the edge of the venue, quietly watching Xaviera Evans in the crowd. His slender fingers gently stroked a silver cufflink, which was covered in complicated patterns. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a coiled five-clawed golden dragon, with a hidden and shimmering obsidian embedded in the dragonâs eye.
This was the birthday gift Xaviera gave him last year. He never dared to wear it, so it still looked as good as new.
Eric Salt stood beside him, teasing, "Twilight, do you know that you look like a lovesick fool right now, staring at your Xaviera without blinking an eye? Is it really necessary?"
Caleb Mamet glanced at him indifferently, "Is there a problem?"
"If youâre so worried, why donât you go and help her? With Twilightâs status in the world of cultural relics, it would only take a few words to help her. Why are you hiding here?"
Caleb Mamet scoffed lightly, "Sir Tangi is enough."
Eric Salt raised his eyebrows, "Can Sir Tangi compare to you? Your personal involvement would definitely be more effective. After all, the Reiser family is not easy to deal with."
Caleb Mamet responded calmly, "Sir Tangi was in charge of the restoration of the Autumn Poem back then, and he is the best person to prove Xavieraâs identity. With him present, thereâs no need for me to step in."
"You..." Eric Salt suddenly choked, his expression somewhat helpless, "I really donât understand. Are you so unwilling to let Xaviera know who you are?"
Caleb Mamet shot him a cold glance, "Why are you so talkative?"
Eric Salt: "..."
He huffed angrily, "Caleb, your wife may be young, but she has grown during this time. Sheâs no longer that delicate dodder flower. She canât always hide behind you. What would it matter if you told her? Besides, you two are married; if she finds out herself, she might get mad at you!"
Caleb Mamet couldnât understand why Eric Salt always thought that Xaviera was fragile since he met her. There were times when he wanted to explain, but he didnât know where to start.
He paused for a moment, his expression subtly changing, "Eric, although youâre a doctor, you shouldnât conceal illnesses and avoid medical treatments."
"What do you mean?" Eric Salt looked confused.
Caleb Mamet: "Find some time to get your head checked at the hospital."
Eric Salt: "..."
He hesitated for a moment, his eyes suddenly filled with anger. Before he could speak, Caleb Mamet said indifferently, "How do you think the Reiser family will cover up their crimes this time?"
Eric Salt looked at him, "Do you have evidence of their crime of hiring a killer?"
"No." Caleb Mamet shook his head, then snorted with a cold laugh, "But thatâs not what Xaviera is going to talk about."
Wayne Reiser, that old fox, had been prepared in advance. Besides, that was something that happened a few days ago, and Wayne Reiser had wiped out all the traces. They couldnât find any evidence, however...
Eric Salt suddenly remembered, "The car accident?"
"Yes." Caleb Mametâs mouth curved, but his eyes were icy and terrifying.
If he hadnât arrived in time to save Xaviera, what would have happened to her today? Disabled? Or still in a coma?
With the thought of the possible accidents, Caleb Mamet couldnât suppress the murderous intent in his heart. How would the Reiser family cover up their crimes this time?
That car had already been intercepted, with both witnesses and evidence available. He was curious to see how Wayne Reiser would protect Fiona Reiser.
On the other side, when Fiona Reiser was on edge, Xaviera asked softly, "But how do Miss Reiser and Mr. Reiser plan to explain the car accident that just happened?"
"Miss Reiser said that I was just blinded by vanity and didnât know the real Doctor Faces was still alive. Then why did you send someone to hit me with a car? The accident not only made me late but also injured my hand and almost cost me my life."
Fiona Reiserâs face turned pale instantly. Confusion filled her mind as she opened her mouth, her throat dry.
It was an accident!
She could pretend to be Doctor Faces out of vanity and confusion, but if the car accident was confirmed, she would definitely face imprisonment!
Even though Fiona Reiser was usually calm, she couldnât help but panic in the face of Xavieraâs inquiries. Her trembling lips said, "Xaviera, what...what nonsense are you talking about? What...what does the car accident have to do with me?"
"Miss Reiser, thereâs no point in acting dumb anymore." Xavieraâs tone was a little impatient. Did she think pretending to be dumb would always be effective?
Unable to stop her tears, Fiona Reiserâs eyes were filled with panic. "I...Iâm not acting dumb, Xaviera. I really donât know what youâre talking about."
