Chapter 145 - 145: 145: Why should we apologize?
Mrs. Whitman was Mrs. Mamet’s younger sister, and Yvette Flack was Mrs. Whitman’s husband’s niece. Yvette grew up with Caleb Mamet, as childhood friends. Both families dreamed of their children growing up and getting married together, deepening their familial ties.
Mrs. Whitman had no children of her own, so she treated Yvette like her own daughter and spoiled her. Consequently, Mrs. Mamet also loved and cared for Yvette. Now, seeing Yvette forcing herself to comfort them, their hearts ached like they were being stabbed with knives.
Yvette bit her lip, tears unconsciously falling: “Auntie, Mrs. Mamet, I understand my body. It has nothing to do with Miss Evans. I am just a little heartbroken for Caleb .
Pausing for a moment, she gathered her courage and spoke softly, “Caleb is such an outstanding person, yet he married such a rude wife who is also very arrogant. In the future, I wonder how much trouble she will cause for Caleb.
Caleb is already exhausted from work, and now he has to deal with her issues … Just thinking about it makes my heart ache
Mrs. Mamet felt her pain and saw her anger rising, “You are right! How could someone like Xaviera Evans, a country bumpkin who only knows how to cause trouble, be worthy of our Caleb?”
Yvette coughed a few times, weakly saying, “Mrs. Mamet, all I hope for is
Caleb’s happiness. No matter how Miss Evans targets me, I will not care.”
Mrs. Whitman cried out loud in distress, “My silly child! Why are you so foolish?”
Mrs. Mamet abruptly stood up from her chair, sneering, “We can’t just let it go that Xaviera bullied you like this! I’ll make her come and apologize to you now!”
As Mrs. Mamet stormed away, Yvette let out a sigh, “Auntie, you know I don’t want to confront Miss Evans. I can’t compete with her in this state.”
Mrs. Whitman patted her back with sympathy, “How can you say that? You are the most deserving one in our family!”
On the other side, Mrs. Mamet directly ordered the servants to kick open Xaviera’s door.
At this time, Xaviera had just finished a call with Albert, asking if he knew Old Man’s whereabouts and discussing Master Uland’s silver needles. Just as she put away the silver needle, her door was suddenly kicked open, and she looked up to find Mrs. Mamet’s angry gaze upon her.
“Xaviera, do you even care that you are sitting here? Yvette’s heart is weak, and you almost killed her! Did you know that? Or did you deliberately provoke her, knowing how weak she was? You wicked little Bitch!”
Mrs. Mamet was truly distressed for Yvette, but more than that, she was angry at Caleb for being disobedient, which made her lose face in front of so many people. That was why she was so furious.
Now that Caleb had grown up and become strong-willed, she could no longer torment him as she had done during his childhood, so she took all her rage out on Xaviera, who seemed easy to bully.
“You better go and apologize to Yvette now. Otherwise, don’t blame the Mamet family for disowning you for being unreasonable and hurting others!” Xaviera replied calmly, “I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?”
Mrs. Mamet yelled furiously, “You made her faint! Do you think an apology is unnecessary? Is this how the Evans family educated you?”
Xaviera slowly and leisurely explained, “Mrs. Mamet, if you haven’t gone senile, you should know that the person who made Yvette faint was Caleb, not me. If an apology is needed, Caleb should be the one to apologize… But it seems like, with your attitude, you don’t dare to trouble Caleb, so you came to me instead, right?”
Mrs. Mamet’s expression stiffened, and she started to wail, “What kind of sin have I committed! I’ve finally been looking forward to Caleb getting married, but he’s married to someone like you. You don’t admit your wrongdoing and blame it all on Caleb. You’ve brought the bad habits of your countryside background to our family. How can someone like you be worthy to stay in the Mamet family? You have sullied our doorway!”
“Countryside? In our countryside, we would never make such a fuss. We would consider it embarrassing. More importantly, we know how to reason in the countryside, unlike here, where you can accuse someone of a crime with just a few words.”
Xaviera’s words were calm, light, and airy, but they made Mrs. Mamet furious. She commanded the servants, “Go, grab her. If she doesn’t want to apologize, drag her to do so!”
Xaviera stepped back to dodge the incoming servant, scoffing, “So, Mrs. Mamet, you want to use force on me now? Is this how the upper class handles things?”
“You ” Mrs.. Mamet was seething with anger, shouting at the servants,
“You useless bunch! Can’t you even handle one woman with so many of you?!”
