Chapter 1635: Chapter 1635: The Plan Has Already Begun
"The CEO has been too busy recently, afraid he wonât have time to take care of you, so he sent you here to stay for a few days. The matter will definitely be resolved in a week at most."
Xaviera Evans felt a tightness in her heart. No wonder Caleb Mamet wanted to eat bread last night and looked at her with a face full of reluctance!
"Rest assured, itâs just a small matter. The CEO only kept it from you to spare you from worry," Steve Price said with a fawning smile. "Consider it a vacation, the CEO will personally come to bring you home after a week."
Xaviera looked out the window. Outside was an artificial lake surrounded by many flowers, grasses, and trees. The scenery was pleasant. The villaâs interior was luxuriously furnished, which revealed the designerâs meticulous planning, almost like a princessâs castle.
"Then tell me, what is he up to?" Xaviera swallowed down her unease.
Steve wore a helpless look: "Even if you knew, thereâs nothing you can do. The plan has already begun."
Xaviera was puzzled: "It started just overnight?"
She knew about Calebâs capabilities, but she just couldnât relax. She wanted to do something for him.
"Maâam, youâve been asleep for three days."
Upon hearing Steveâs words, Xavieraâs eyes widened in shock.
She had been asleep for three days?
Xaviera pulled out her phone and immediately saw the pushed message.
ââ[Latest development on the lost Combustion Heart, Caleb Mamet, CEO of the Mamet Corporation, has been taken by the police for investigation!]
As soon as this news broke out, there was an uproar online. Rumor had it that the police had found the âCombustion Heartâ in the Lowen Clubhouse and Caleb was immediately taken away by the police. From the netizensâ perspective, the thief had been caught.
The âCombustion Heartâ was not just a necklace, it was the hope of the people in the mountainous area. Yet Caleb, who was the richest man in Libanan, had stolen it. He obviously didnât need the three hundred million dollars, but he had stolen the Combustion Heart. Heâd made a joke out of the donations!
The curses from the netizens were almost overflowing. Xavieraâs heart twitched for a moment. No wonder he said they couldnât stay in the Lowen Clubhouse. By now, it must have been sealed off.
In a hurry, Xaviera opened up Albert Sullivanâs chat box. Albert had already told her about the outside worldâs news. The Mamet Corporationâs stock market had plummeted, the CEO had been arrested, people at the company were panicking, and every day people would come to the companyâs entrance to throw paint and put up banners.
"I am the creator of Combustion Heart, I can prove his innocence." Xavieraâs voice was somewhat choked.
"Maâam, you indeed are the creator of Combustion Heart, but even if you come forward as a witness, who would believe you? Since the CEO has gone this far, he has a way to get out. You trust him, okay?"
Xaviera closed her eyes, not daring to read the netizensâ curses. Caleb had never been so grossly insulted before. Wayne Reiserâs move had placed Caleb Mamet in the eye of the storm.
"When he sent me away from Libanan, there should be other reasons, right?" Xaviera suddenly asked.
Steve Priceâs expression was somewhat flustered.
"Now that Caleb has been arrested, if I were to stay in Libanan, Wayne would definitely negotiate a deal with me. As long as I agree to his request, he could let Caleb go. Or from the beginning, I was Wayneâs target and calculating Caleb was just part of the plan. Caleb was afraid I would fall into the trap, so he sent me away, right?" Xaviera asked, her gaze burning into him.
Steveâs eyes shifted.
Xaviera was very certain: "Not speaking is an admission. Iâve been unconscious for three days, and the plan is already in its final stages. I canât intervene anymore. If all goes well, he can get away in a few days, and then it will be useless for Wayne to find me."
Steve: "..." Damn! Maâamâs guesses are too accurate! He didnât say a word, and she guessed it all by herself!
Xaviera didnât open her mouth again. She checked the position of the Combustion Heart and only then did she feel relieved.
...
Meanwhile, at the police station.
Caleb, wearing a suit, was casually sitting in the chair. Even though he was the suspect, he didnât appear flustered at all. Instead, his aura of nobility was overwhelming, making people dare not offend him.
On the first day of the plan, Wayne Reiser accused him of stealing Combustion Heart and found the necklace in the Lowen Clubhouse with the police. Caleb was taken away by the police, and the Lowen Clubhouse was sealed off.
Following that, several high-ranking executives of the Mamet Corporation sold their shares, causing the groupâs stock to plummet and the company was in a state of panic.
Inside the Mamet Old Mansion, instead of being blamed, Fiona Reiser was gaining even more favor from Sir Mamet and Will Mamet. It seemed they had known about Wayneâs plan from the start.
Now it was the third day, the jewellery appraisal results were about to come out, and at the same time, Wayne was probably looking everywhere for Xaviera.
Inside the Reiser Villa.
"Have you found her?"
"Sir, Miss Evans was secretly sent away by Caleb Mamet, weâve searched all over Libanan but thereâs no sign of her."
"Useless! Get on with the search!"
