Yvette Flack looked emotional, “Xaviera Evans, you’re not going anywhere until you give up your position as Mrs. Mamet. You can’t just leave! Do you really think you can win Caleb’s heart? Look at how long you’ve been oppressed, and has Caleb come to look for you? He doesn’t love you at all!”
Xaviera paused for a moment, but only for a second before continuing to walk forward.
Yvette sneered, “Xaviera, today I not only called you here to apologize, but also to kick you out of the Mamet family!”
Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind her.
She looked back instinctively and saw Yvette lying on the ground, blood streaming from her forehead, quickly soaking her clothes. Yvette looked at Xaviera with pleading eyes, “Miss Evans, can you spare me… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have fought with you over Caleb, I shouldn’t have talked back to you.
If you say I’m his mistress, then I am. Please, can you give me a chance to live?”
Upon hearing the commotion, the servants broke into the room.
“Miss Flack, are you alright?” The frantic servants helped Yvette up. This was Mrs. Mamet’s honored guest, and if she were hurt in their home, wouldn’t they be implicated as well?
Mrs. Whitman rushed in, “Yvette, how are you? Xaviera, you wicked girl, are you jealous of Yvette and want to ruin her? How could there be such a sinister woman in this world!”
Yvette’s face was full of blood, her lips pale to the extreme, “Auntie, I’m fine, don’t blame Miss Evans. It’s all my fault, everything is my fault…”
One of the servants, afraid that the incident might affect them, quickly yelled, “Miss Evans, Mrs. Mamet asked you to come here to apologize to Miss Flack, not to hurt her. Now that Miss Flack is injured because of you, just wait, Mrs.
Mamet will definitely punish you!”
Xaviera looked at the wound on Yvette’s forehead, knowing that the woman had shown no mercy in harming herself in order to frame her.
Was it really worth torturing oneself like this for the sake of a man?
Before she could think further, Mrs. Whitman cried out, “Capture this bitch,
Xaviera, and punish her according to Mamet family law! I will avenge our
Yvette!”
Xaviera saw the triumphant look in Yvette’s eyes and furious Mrs. Whitman, and she had to admit that Yvette’s performance and her unconditional supporters, who believed everything she said, were indeed annoying.
She knew that no matter whether she had hurt Yvette today or not, they would do everything to pin the crime on her, and even if she explained that it was not her doing, they wouldn’t listen. They only believed what they saw. So Xaviera simply remained silent, not wanting to waste her breath on them.
More importantly, she didn’t understand why Yvette would engage in such self-harming behavior. Like Mag Evans and Yvette…
But if this behavior represents love, isn’t love too terrifying?
Xaviera was taken to the dark cell by the servants; Mrs. Whitman, watching Yvette’s wound with almost faint heartache, naturally didn’t notice the smug smile on Yvette’s face.
In the dark cell, Xaviera looked around nonchalantly. A small dark cell wouldn’t be able to hold her. In the pitch-black darkness, she took out her phone and quickly broke through the signal shielding around the cell.
She hesitated whether to contact Caleb… Actually, it didn’t matter if she didn’t find Caleb, she could still get out on her own. She was reflecting on why she thought of Caleb when she encountered any problem. This habit was not good.
At this thought, Xaviera exited the WhatsApp interface and clicked on Albert’s icon. She dealt with some leftover files, needing to calm her mind with work. It must be because she had been idle lately and always revolving around Caleb that whatever happened, she thought of him.
Word of Xaviera pushing Yvette and causing her to hit her head quickly spread throughout the Mamet family.
Steve Price’s breath trembled, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, the Mistress is locked in the dark cell! Mrs. Mamet wants to punish her with family law!”
Caleb quickly raised his hand to pause the video conference and walked out, “Is
Xaviera still in the dark cell?”
“Yes, after receiving the news, I sent someone to take her out of the dark cell, and Mr. Caleb Mamet, you…”
“I’ll go get her myself.”
Caleb somehow felt that as soon as he heard Xaviera was locked in the dark cell, his heart seemed to be squeezed by a big hand, making it difficult to breathe..
