Chapter 272: 272: Watch Tomorrow’s News
Caleb gave a meaningful smile, “You’ll find out. Watch the news tomorrow.”
Xaviera: ‘ She had a feeling that it was going to be something frightening.
Well then, it’s just watching the news tomorrow!
“It’s late, time to rest,” Caleb said quietly.
Xaviera was indeed exhausted. She had dealt with two families continuously today, and her strength was totally drained.
Returning to her room, Xaviera first opened her computer, logged into the Black Tide account, and stared at the screen intently.
Despite the bright room, Caleb’s vision was a dull grey.
His head was splitting with pain. He stayed conscious by sheer willpower, clenching his fists tight.
Caleb found it difficult to move. He opened the drawer and took out a bottle, then swallowed a few pills without even looking at them.
Sean Price rushed in, “Director, are you okay?”
Caleb bit his lip, suppressing his pain, “I’m fine, I will be okay in a while.”
Sean looked gloomy: “Director, did you meet the Drew family when you went to the Elefelli Restaurant today?”
Caleb answered in a low voice: “Yes, you take care of it.”
Seeing how much pain he was in, Sean didn’t have the heart to leave. But thinking about the arrogant Drew family, he nodded gravely: “Yes!”
Caleb leaned on the sofa, his eyes dull. He rolled up his sleeve to see that the red line on his arm was getting deeper and spreading to his palm.
The next day, in the early morning, a piece of news spread across Libanan.
[ A woman driving under the influence fell into the river when she passed Floating Mountain Bridge last night. Fortunately, she was saved by pedestrians. ]
[ According to the pedestrians, this woman not only drunk drove but also had a mental illness. She kept screaming and shouting. We hope that the general public will take good care of their ill family members and not allow them to drink and drive. ]
Xaviera clicked open the news. Even though the woman in the photo was masked, she could still recognize that it was Vivian Drew.
A pedestrian had recorded a video and uploaded it online. After Vivian was rescued, she was soaking wet and looked embarrassing.
Before she fell into the river, the car’s camera captured her suddenly pressing hard on the accelerator and screaming:
[ Get away from me! Aren’t you dead? ]
[ You’ve been dead for so many years, why are you looking for me? It’s not me who killed you! Get away! ]
[ It was Dad who wanted to harm you, not me! Those who commit injustices must pay, why are you looking for me? Leave! Leave! Ah! ]
Then the car lost control and plunged from the bridge, and the camera lost the picture immediately.
At this moment, Albert Sullivan called, “Xaviera, have you seen the news? That Mrs. Riker suddenly fell ill while driving yesterday, she was talking nonsense and even fell into the river.”
Xaviera: “I’ve seen it, how’s the investigation I asked you to conduct?” Albert paused for a moment.
Xaviera had already logged into the Black Tide account and dug out all of Vivian’s secrets. She also found clear details of some past events in the Drew family.
However, once Vivian married into the Riker family, all her information disappeared. All he found was that they had attended a banquet together five years ago and had enjoyed a family feast in the Drew family home.
Xaviera thought she might have missed something, so she asked Albert to help investigate further.
Albert hesitated: “You may not understand the current relationship between Vivian and Mr. Riker.”
Xaviera scoffed, “A marital relationship, right? Considering how triumphant Vivian looks, their relationship should be good. After all, you have to cherish the man you stole from someone else.”
Whenever this topic came up, her face clouded over with anger: ‘Vivian is such a hypocrite, even flaunting her happiness in front of Caleb. Does she have no shame flaunting a happiness that she stole?”
All of Xaviera’s annoyance came from sympathy for Caleb. The more she spoke, the more worked up she became, “Vivian’s adoption of Boyd Drew, wasn’t that meant to suppress Caleb? Especially considering she knew Caleb is the…”
“Xaviera.”
Albert, aware of the past between the Mamet and Drew families, understood the reason behind Xaviera’s anger.
But…
Feeling it necessary to tell Xaviera the truth, he asked: “Did Caleb never tell you?”
