Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623: An Important Announcement to Make

"Since Miss Reiser likes Nanny Doreen so much, let Nanny Doreen go work at the Reiser family house." Xaviera asked with a smile, "Nanny Donne, it’s alright for Nanny Doreen to go to the Reiser family, right?"

Nanny Donne respectfully replied, "Madam, you are the patriarch’s wife, and you have the authority to make decisions for the Mamet family both inside and out. No one would oppose you even if you decided to cut ties with a long-standing ally, much less dismissing a servant. Sir Mamet would certainly not blame you for an old servant."

Upon hearing this, both Nanny Doreen and Fiona Reiser’s faces looked as if they had swallowed flies.

Xaviera said with a smile, "Then Nanny Doreen should go find the steward to get her salary. When Miss Reiser leaves, you can follow her back to the Reiser family. If Miss Reiser isn’t willing to accept you, then I have to doubt that she was just trying to incite discord."

Fiona quickly refuted, "Xaviera, you can’t say that. How could you make things difficult for an old servant like this? Doing it this way... "

"Doesn’t Xaviera, as my wife, have the right to dismiss a servant?" A cold, gloomy voice came from outside the door, with a strong sense of oppression emanating from the man, scaring Nanny Doreen into lowering her head.

Fiona looked pale and tried to speak gently, "Caleb, you misunderstood. If Xaviera really dislikes Nanny Doreen so much, let her come back to the Reiser house with me."

Xaviera sneered inwardly, making it seem that she was petty, and Fiona acted magnanimous. But the next second, Caleb impatiently said, "Then hurry up and leave."

Fiona’s gentle expression paused for a moment, "I came to accompany Madam Mamet..."

"Nanny Donne, give Nanny Doreen her salary and let her leave with Miss Reiser," Caleb ordered coldly.

Fiona clenched her teeth, being silent for a few seconds before laughing helplessly, "Caleb, after all, my father is your mentor, and we are friends. Why are you targeting me?"

"There may be some grievances between me and Xaviera, but I have already apologized. This small matter shouldn’t affect our relationship."

Xaviera looked speechless. Fiona’s implication was that she and Caleb had a deep connection that had been affected by her. It meant that she was too jealous and wouldn’t allow her husband to interact with friends.

Caleb frowned in displeasure, "Knowing that my wife hates you, why would you still come to the Mamet family? Please leave, Miss Reiser!"

After saying that, Caleb took off his coat and carefully draped it over Xaviera, his voice incredibly gentle, "It’s so cold outside, why did you wear so little?"

Seeing this scene, Fiona felt irritated. All girls love beauty, so she and Xaviera both wore thin, long skirts. The autumn wind blew, making them feel cold, but Caleb did not care about her and only cared about Xaviera, even putting a coat on her.

She had known Caleb for more than ten years. When he was at his lowest, the Reiser family had extended a helping hand. They were childhood friends, studying and playing together. But Caleb had never shown her this level of concern. In Caleb’s eyes, was her childhood companion already a stranger?

Fiona suppressed her tumultuous emotions and said with a smile, "Caleb, Sir Mamet has already asked me to stay at the Mamet family."

Xaviera glanced coldly at Fiona and immediately saw through her ulterior motives.

So you want to stay at the Mamet family? Fine!

Caleb’s eyes gradually became colder, and his irritation grew, about to burst out. But Xaviera spoke up, "Alright! Since grandfather said so, Miss Reiser can stay. Caleb, don’t be angry!"

Fiona clenched her fists tightly, cursing the scheming woman who was driving a wedge between her and Caleb!

No sooner had the words fallen than the steward walked in. "Madam Mamet, Mr. Mamet! Sir Mamet has called everyone to the front hall for a meal tonight."

Madam Mamet’s face immediately darkened. She didn’t object to Fiona staying, but that was because Xaviera had spoken up. However, that didn’t mean she was willing to have a meal with Fiona.

"We won’t go."

The steward looked troubled, "Madam Mamet, Sir Mamet said that there’s an important announcement to make."

"What about Mr. Reiser?" Madam Mamet asked.

"He left a long time ago."

With a mocking expression, Madam Mamet understood Sir Mamet’s intentions when she heard that Wayne Reiser had left, leaving Fiona behind, and announcing there was an important matter at hand.

"Fine, I’ll go, but whether I can make it through this meal is uncertain."

The steward gasped, fearfully saying, "Sir Mamet said Nanny Doreen is just a servant, Madam Mamet, don’t let it upset you. If you’re unhappy, just send her away."

Madam Mamet didn’t even glance at him. Did she need to ask that old fool’s permission to deal with a servant?

The steward broke into a cold sweat and quickly left.
