BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 - 66: Sew Your Mouth Shut
Under everyone’s gaze, Caleb Mamet walked leisurely to Xaviera Evans’ side and naturally took her hand.
Xaviera was puzzled.
She had wondered why Caleb agreed to marry into the Coriell family when she first met Vita Coriell. Was it really because of Sir Mamet’s coercion? But Caleb didn’t seem like the obedient child who would follow his family’s arrangement… Now, hearing what Caleb said, Xaviera understood that the person he had been waiting for at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day wasn’t Vita!
So… who was Caleb really waiting for at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day?
Vita’s face turned pale, “Caleb, I… I was just joking with Miss Evans and Mrs. Jenny, I… I didn’t mean to really drive her away.”
Caleb: “Don’t call me brother, I don’t have such a shameless sister.”
Xaviera: ‘
You were clearly happy when someone was calling you Caleb not long ago. Men are indeed fickle!
Vita’s face turned very ugly, and she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, “Fine… fine.”
Mrs. Mamet saw that Vita was being bullied so miserably, she pointed at Xaviera angrily: ‘You think you have a backer now that Caleb is here, so you start bullying Vita openly, right? How can there be such a vicious girl in this world!”
Xaviera laughed, was this the legendary tactic of picking on the weak?
The words came from Caleb, but she was left holding the bag?
Xaviera hated taking the blame in her life. She straightened up slightly, folded her arms and exuded an imposing aura: “Mrs. Mamet, isn’t it? I doubt you brought your brain when you left your house, so you can’t hear or see that it’s your own son next to me who’s scolding Vita. Also, I don’t know where you heard the news from, saying that I’m messing around with Caleb.”
Mrs. Mamet was furious: “Isn’t it obvious? You’re poor, and you, a poor rural person, just hope to marry a rich man to change your life and become a phoenix!”
Xaviera nodded slowly, “Oh, that’s how it is…” She raised her eyes leisurely to look at Mrs. Mamet: “But as far as I know, Mrs. Mamet, you also come from a
humble family, right? It seems that you still owe a lot of money outside.
According to your logic… When you married into the Mamet family, it was also
for money and you shamelessly became someone’s mistress?”
The entire living room fell into silence.
Mrs. Mamet trembled with anger, she pointed at Xaviera, her voice shrill,
“You… you bitch, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this!”
“What’s wrong? Am I not right? Or does Mrs. Mamet think she’s a pure white lotus, untainted by the mud?”
Mrs. Mamet’s face turned red, and she smashed the cup beside her with a bang: “Caleb, are you just going to watch this bitch talk to me like this? Don’t forget that I am your mother!”
Mother?
Caleb lowered his eyes, was this kind of woman worthy of being a mother? From childhood, she had beaten and scolded him, like a madwoman, even tried to drown him and strangle him when he was a child, cursing him not to die a good death.
After he became the current head of the Mamet family, she began to control him, order him around in the name of a mother, and pretended to care for him warmly.
Was such a hypocritical and selfish woman worthy of being his mother?
Seeing the atmosphere, Vita hurried to Mrs. Mamet’s side and tried to soothe her, “Mrs. Jenny, let it go… it’s really alright, I don’t have to live with Caleb.”
As she spoke, she suddenly sighed and looked at Xaviera with envy, “Miss
Evans, I’m really envious of you. You made Caleb like you in such a short time…
While I’m just an insignificant playmate.”
Seemingly yielding, but actually pouring oil on the fire.
Mrs. Mamet loved Vita very much, and seeing her looking so desolate, her rage grew even stronger. She wanted Caleb to like Vita, but he chose Xaviera, a woman from the rural area who was not presentable. He had no regard for his own mother. This was a slap in her face!
Vita continued sighing, “It’s my fault that I can’t make Caleb like me… It’s my fault that I can’t let go of Caleb even though I know it’s wrong… What should I do, I really like Caleb so much.”
Caleb’s gaze was cold without any warmth, “Call me brother one more time, and I’ll sew your mouth shut.”
Xaviera: ‘
Vita: ‘ .
Vita’s tears were still hanging in her eyes, looking pitiful as if they were about to fall, but Caleb’s expression was unchanged, and his words were even colder: “Miss Coriell, if you insult my wife half a sentence again, be prepared for your family’s bankruptcy..”
