BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - 76: Are You Jealous?
The bodyguard suddenly spoke up to explain: “Don’t misunderstand, fellow students. Our Miss had no ill intentions. It’s just that we heard Mr. Mamet and Miss Xaviera Evans had left in the same car, and Mr. Mamet’s phone has been unreachable. Our Miss was a little worried, that’s all. So she came to ask if you knew where Miss Xaviera Evans went so she could find Mr. Mamet.”
This…
The students looked at each other in confusion.
Isn’t Miss Coriell supposed to be Mr. Mamet’s fiancée? Why would the fiancée need to contact Mr. Mamet through Xaviera?
Some students caught on to the key point – Xaviera knew that Miss Coriell had arrived, yet she still got in Mr. Mamet’s car and left with him. Was she trying to be a mistress?
Vita Coriell saw that their expressions were off, and knew that her goal had been achieved. She let out a soft sigh: “Never mind, it doesn’t matter. I believe
Caleb will come back… As for Xaviera… I don’t care.”
She spoke with a wronged and teary tone. The students couldn’t stand it.
They’d just said that Caleb’s love for Vita was exceptional, even in high society. But reality slapped them in the face.
“How could Xaviera do this? She clearly knows they’re a couple, yet she still tried to seduce the man!”
“Poor Miss Coriell.”
“I heard people saying Xaviera was a mistress at the last forum, but I didn’t believe it. Now it seems she’s a habitual mistress!”
A smug smile flashed in Vita’s eyes. She pretended to be at a loss: “Is that so?
What should I do… I…”
Some students in the crowd were already filled with righteous anger and wanted to expose Xaviera’s true face on the forum again. Just then, a male voice cut through the crowd: “Miss Coriell, it’s better to make things clear and not be so ambiguous as to let people misunderstand.”
Steve Price came with an elegant smile: “I didn’t want to step in, but as it involves Mr. Caleb Mamet and Miss Evans’ reputations, I have no choice but to Intervene. ‘l’ne conell and mamet ramllles nave Deen working on a project together recently. Although the Coriell family values the project greatly, there’s no need to use vague language to confuse people and make them think our Mr. Mamet has feelings for you, Miss Coriell. The Mamet family doesn’t need to create gossip to promote a project.”
Vita’s back stiffened.
Steve Price smiled and looked at everyone present, finally resting his eyes on Vita: “Miss Coriell, I’m sorry. Although your family intends to enter the high-end clothing industry, our Mr. Mamet doesn’t think much of your family’s assets. So let’s call off this collaboration. Our Mr. Mamet doesn’t like partners who engage in underhanded tactics.”
Vita Coriell shuddered: “Assistant Price…”
Steve Price smiled faintly: “And as for the so-called engaged couple, Miss Coriell knows very well what’s going on. So please handle these rumors yourself, Miss Coriell. If we hear about Mr. Mamet admiring you or the Mamet and Coriell families marrying again, don’t blame him for not considering family ties and taking action against you.”
Vita’s face turned pale as snow. She didn’t expect Steve Price to slap her in public like this. It must have been for that bitch Xaviera, right? It must have been because of that bitch Xaviera! Resentment and unwillingness flashed in Vita’s heart. Why should Xaviera be protected by Caleb!
The students weren’t fools. In just a few words, Steve Price made them understand what had really happened.
“Ah? So the Mamet family’s initiative to marry the Coriell family was fake? Was it just a rumor the Coriell family spread to promote the collaboration?”
“Damn, that’s really despicable! I can’t believe I believed in love in high society, thinking Caleb truly liked Miss Coriell. Now that I think about it, how could someone like the young master of the Mamet family fall for Miss Coriell?”
“Aren’t you curious why Miss Coriell tried to drag Xaviera into this? Is it because there’s something between Xaviera and Caleb… and she’s jealous?”
This speculation set off a wave of discussion among the students on the scene.
Steve Price pushed up his glasses and glanced off to the side, pretending he hadn’t heard the students’ guesses.
Vita had always been arrogant since she was a child, surrounded by people praising her. She had always listened to their flattery from on high. But when had she ever experienced something like this? People around her were pointing fingers and looking down on her.
Her face flushed with anger, she glared at Steve Price and hopped into her car with the help of her bodyguard, leaving in a fit of rage. Steve Price watched with a smile as she left.
Meanwhile, in another car, Xaviera asked the still-chilled Caleb who had just got in: ‘What was Vita Coriell doing at Libanan University? Did she follow you here?”
Caleb glanced at her coldly: “Mrs.. Mamet, are you jealous?”
