Chapter 392: 392: The Truth?
“But my sister is the original wife of the Mamet family! You are nothing but an illegitimate child, yet you are forcing my sister to step down with a horde of unscrupulous reporters. You have such a ruthless heart!”
Everyone frowned, feeling sorry for Miss Drew.
Imagine the scene. Miss Drew, seriously ill and hospitalized, suddenly faced a group of people accusing her of being sterile, holding onto the status of Mrs. Mamet, and forcing her to step down. Any woman would find it hard to stay calm in such circumstances.
Jenny Green feigned sorrow and squeezed out a few tears, “Actually, I’ve always kept silent about this, preferring to take the blame for life. But Caleb, you cannot be so wilful anymore. How can you compete with Boyd for the heir’s position? You already caused the death of his mother, and now you want to steal his heirship? Caleb, you can’t be so greedy!”
Will Mamet accused loudly, “Caleb, the Drew family has been lenient because of your mother’s sake. You have no idea how much pain you have inflicted on the Drew family, Winni, and your own mother, do you?”
“If it wasn’t for your excessive greed, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.”
The guests sighed with regret, “Miss Drew is really pitiful. If this incident is indeed caused by Mr. Caleb Mamet, he shouldn’t fight for the successor’s position.”
“Although Miss Drew committed suicide, Mr. Mamet indirectly caused her death. He was only six years old at that time! Such a malicious child is truly terrifying. Mr. Mamet should apologize to the Drew family!”
The supporters of Will Mamet and Jenny Green all condemned him vehemently.
“That’s right, he should apologize! You owe an apology to all those you’ve hurt!”
“Mrs. Mamet has borne so much slander for you over the years. As your mother, she has been remarkably tolerant. It’s time for you to take responsibility for your mistakes!”
At this point, everyone saw Miss Drew and Jenny Green as the underdogs. Jenny never intended to destroy another’s family. Everything was just an accident. The real culprit was Caleb. His excessive greed led to the tragedy.
In the aftermath of the incident, as Jenny didn’t want her child to bear the stigma, she allowed the mistress to ascend to her place, creating a misunderstanding that lasted for twenty years.
Sir Drew sighed helplessly, “I used to overlook your actions because you were young and oblivious. I even thought it was the instigation of your mother. But I didn’t expect you to behave even worse.”
Vivian choked, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, we, the Drew family, dare not offend you in your current powerful position. However, I must disclose the truth today no matter what!”
Caleb snorted with derision, “The truth?”
Vivian retorted, “What do you mean? Are you implying that what I’ve said isn’t the truth? We were prepared to keep this a secret forever if it wasn’t for Boyd. But you’ve gone too far!”
Caleb slowly looked up, sweeping a mockingly condescending glance at Vivian in front of him, refusing to waste his words on her.
Sir Drew felt a twinge of anxiety. He knew that Caleb was no pushover. After all, he didn’t achieve his current status by luck or chance. Did he have some kind of evidence?
Sir Drew softened his tone a bit, “Caleb, I understand that it feels unfair to have your inheritance suddenly taken away. But you made a mistake back then, causing Boyd to lose his mother. You can’t deny this.”
“I don’t bear grudges about past matters. My only wish is for my deceased daughter to rest in peace. Boyd’s identity is beyond doubt. He must return to the Mamet family and become its heir.”
Listening to his words, Caleb cracked a smile again.
Unable to bear it any longer, Xaviera Evans interjected, “Sir Drew, Caleb and Mrs. Riker have been discussing old matters, but Caleb has never expressed any doubts about Boyd’s identity!”
Evans hinted at something with a meaningful smile, “Caleb never doubted a single word of it, why are you so eager to explain? Do you feel guilty, or is there a problem with Boyd’s identity?”
It suddenly dawned on everyone.
That’s right! Mr. Mamet hardly said anything. He never doubted Boyd’s identity.
