Chapter 1625: You Should Call Me Sister-in-law

Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625: You Should Call Me Sister-in-law

Madam Mamet’s face was terribly gloomy. This old bastard really knew how to play! Finding a mistress for his grandson?

Xaviera was still here, and he had the nerve to say such things. Did he think no one would oppose him? She wanted to see who really had the final say in this family!

Madam Mamet snorted coldly, without losing her temper. When everyone was seated and the dishes were served, Sir Mamet finally spoke, "I announce Fiona..."

Madam Mamet instantly exploded, "Cyril! I don’t agree!"

"Have you had enough of this!" Sir Mamet’s face was also full of anger.

Seeing the situation, Fiona pretended to be anxious, "Mrs. Mamet, have you misunderstood..."

Madam Mamet had never liked Fiona, always feeling that this young girl was too scheming, acting obediently in front of the elders but using underhanded methods behind their backs. Yet that group of fools still believed Fiona was kind-hearted, gentle, and polite, even delusionally wanting her to marry Caleb, what a joke!

Fiona’s eyes filled with tears, "Mr. Mamet, explain, we can’t let Mrs. Mamet and Sir Mamet quarrel because of me, I... I better leave!"

"Fiona, don’t you dare leave!" Sir Mamet stood up, his face pale with rage, "Ya’er, how have you become like this, why are you picking on Fiona? Did someone say something bad about her to you?"

After saying that, his sharp eyes fell on Xaviera, angrily saying, "Some people should know their place and don’t always gossip in front of my wife!"

"You’re talking shit! It has nothing to do with others, I just don’t like Fiona. She used to claim that she was Caleb’s childhood friend everywhere, but now Caleb is already married, and she still..."

"You’ve misunderstood. I said Fiona is part of the Mamet family because I intend to take her as my goddaughter!" Sir Mamet interrupted his wife’s words unhappily.

Caleb held Xaviera’s hand, gently rubbing it, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Goddaughter?" Madam Mamet looked disdainful.

Fiona immediately explained, "Mrs. Mamet, it’s my fault. I didn’t make it clear. Sir Mamet wants to adopt me as his goddaughter, so he invited everyone to have a meal today, but I didn’t expect..."

Her eyes reddened slightly and she looked helplessly at Xaviera, then bit her lip and looked away.

"Caleb and I were childhood playmates. I did say that I wanted to marry Caleb, but those were just childish words. After all these years, Caleb is already married, how could I ruin his marriage? Mrs. Mamet, you really misunderstood."

"Huh, is that so?" Madam Mamet snorted coldly. Fiona deliberately glanced at Xaviera, did she think she didn’t understand? She just wanted to tell everyone else that the reason for her misunderstanding was all because of Xaviera’s instigation.

The next second, Sir Mamet slapped the table hard, yelling, "Xaviera, since you married Caleb, you should be content. Don’t always try to sow discord! Fiona is gentle and considerate; you should not provoke her. Apologize now!"

Fiona lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of triumph.

Xaviera pinched Caleb at the table before smiling and saying, "Grandpa wants to take Miss Reiser as his goddaughter, that’s a good thing. I misunderstood, sorry!"

Everyone was surprised. They didn’t expect Xaviera to apologize so readily. Sir Mamet’s words of reprimand got stuck in his throat.

"You know what’s good for you! From now on, Fiona is a member of the Mamet family, and I can’t let her be wronged!"

Madam Mamet frowned unhappily, while Xaviera smiled a little awkwardly, "Miss Reiser, I’m really sorry, I misunderstood you because I care too much about Caleb. After all, you’re so excellent and have grown up together with Caleb, I will definitely think too much!"

Caleb touched the spot Xaviera had pinched earlier, his eyes filled with a pampering smile as he said softly, "There’s no need to misunderstand, I only love you, I could never like other women."

Xaviera suddenly shyly coy, gently pounding Caleb’s shoulder, "Oh! You’re so annoying! I’m so shy!"

Yigol Mamet: "..."

He almost spit out a mouthful of coffee and then continued to watch Xaviera’s performance.

Fiona’s mouth twitched. Xaviera continued, "Miss Reiser is so magnanimous and won’t mind me, right? From today on, you’ll be Caleb’s sister, so I’ll definitely stop overthinking. After all, you two are siblings, and even if you really wanted to be together, Sir Mamet would never allow it, right?"

Sir Mamet choked on his words.

Fiona’s eyes turned dark and cold in an instant, but she pretended to be gentle, "Yes, Xaviera, don’t misunderstand, I... I’m just Caleb’s sister."

"So Miss Reiser should call me sister-in-law, right?" Xaviera looked at her with a smile.

Both Madam Mamet and Yigol Mamet almost burst out laughing.
