Chapter 153 - 153: Phony Girl Gets Beaten
This person holds so many precious elements that many countries are envious, yet he manages to remain unharmed. It shows that his power and wealth are already on par with some nations.
“What’s so fascinating, Mrs. Mamet?” Caleb asked casually.
Xaviera was startled and quickly put away her phone. “Caleb, I heard you locked up Yvette?”
The man’s eyes were indifferent, and he sneered. Xaviera looked like she had done something guilty.
Xaviera looked nervously at Caleb, her heart in turmoil.
Actually, she had no interest in the big shot, nor did she want to know who he was. However, she mustn’t let Caleb know about it.
Caleb nodded nonchalantly, “She caused you to be locked up in the dark cell, so let her taste the same experience.”
A peculiar feeling welled up in Xaviera’s heart. She opened her mouth and whispered, “Thank you.”
As she raised her head, she met Caleb’s deep gaze.
Xaviera was taken aback, “Why are you staring at me like that?” Is it strange to say thank you?
Caleb’s gaze was slightly cold, “It’s my negligence that gave them the opportunity. There’s no need for us to say thank you to each other in the future.”
Is it because they’re husband and wife, and saying that is too polite, or because the cause of the matter lies with him?
Xaviera suddenly felt a little frustrated, unable to articulate her feelings.
It seems Caleb is too protective of her.
A scream suddenly came from outside the door.
Xaviera recognized Yvette’s voice, and her lips curled up. She pulled Caleb and rushed out.
“The phony girl got beaten? I want to see! ”
The Mamet family’s head butler saw Xaviera holding Caleb’s hand, and his heart skipped a beat. Mr. Mamet had never been so intimate with anyone else. It seemed that he would definitely be angry this time.
In the dark cell.
Steve held a thorny board in his hand, his face calm. “Miss Flack, I’m sorry.” As he spoke, he raised the board.
At this moment, Mrs. Mamet felt a slight pain on her face. She reached out to touch it, only to find that a bump had appeared on her previously smooth face.
Yvette’s screams filled the entire dark cell. “My face hurts so much! Deputy
Officer Price, what did you do?”
Mrs. Mamet turned to look at Yvette, whose once smooth and fair face was now filled with disgusting bumps. When she accidentally burst one, yellow pus seeped out.
At this moment, she felt a sharp pain on her face.
Yvette looked at Mrs. Mamet and Mrs. Whitman and screamed in horror.
Steve’s face was full of helplessness, “Miss Flack, you might as well stop shouting. If you want, I can continue beating you tomorrow. You can go back and calm down first?”
Tears streamed down Yvette’s face, the salty tears getting on her wounds, causing her whole body to tremble with pain. “My face is ruined, and you still want to beat me? Wooo…
Mrs. Mamet immediately ordered the maids to bring a mirror, and when she saw the reflection, she screamed in shock.
At this moment, Xaviera led Caleb to the dark cell door at a leisurely pace. Hearing the screams inside, she whispered, “Your mom and your aunt are both getting beaten. Why are all three of them yelling together?”
Inside the dark cell, the three women wailed miserably, “Call the doctor quickly! Save us!”
Xaviera looked inside, her lips curling up in a cold sneer. “Serves them right!”
Caleb looked down at Xaviera and said lightly, “There are monitors everywhere in the Mamet house. In less than ten minutes, we’ll know who hurt them.” Xaviera showed no sign of nervousness, completely unconcerned. “Oh.”
Soon, the doctor rushed over, examined them, and quickly came to a conclusion.
“The three of you have been poisoned. This is a strange grass from an African tribe. Although it is not very toxic in its original form, after extracting the fruit and leaves, you get a toxin. The extraction process is very complicated and expensive, with a certain period of latency for its toxicity. We can’t determine when the poisoning occurred.”
Caleb looked at Xaviera, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Feigning surprise, Xaviera replied, “Why should I be afraid? I didn’t poison them. I’m just a country girl. I’ve never been to Africa. How could I possibly have such a strange poison? How could a weak, helpless girl like me poison them?”
Caleb: ‘
Never mind, even if they found out Xaviera did it, it was not a big deal. As long as he was there, no one would harm a hair on her head.
After conducting thorough examinations, the doctors spoke gravely, “Mrs. Mamet, this poison can be transmitted through the air. The time of poisoning should be around four hours ago.”
Four hours?
Mrs. Mamet suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with resentment as she glared at Xaviera. “You dare to poison me! I am your mother-in-law, and you want to disfigure me with such cruel methods! You are so vicious!”
Yvette and Mrs. Whitman cried helplessly at the side..
