Xaviera Evans was angry: “I don’t want to guess! No matter who it is, it has nothing to do with me, you go find her!”
Xavier Hamer standing nearby: “…” Xaviera, you have a good brain!
Caleb Mamet hugged her tightly, letting her whole body lean in his embrace, “I only have one sister.”
As Xaviera heard it, her head filled with sour thoughts.
Caleb emphasized that he only had one sister? He didn’t care about her feelings at all!
Xaviera’s eyes were sour, feeling more and more wronged: “Let’s go! I’ll go with you to find her! I want to see who she is!”
“Okay.”
The man only said a faint ‘okay’, but he held onto her body, not allowing her to leave.
Xaviera looked up: “Let me go! Didn’t you promise to go find your sister together? Are you going back on your word?”
Caleb’s eyes were deep and unwavering, as he made Xaviera shudder.
The man suddenly approached her, his voice gentle and deep: “She’s right in front of me.”
Xaviera blurted out: “Where is she?”
“In my arms.”
In his arms?
Xaviera suddenly understood, her mind going blank.
Wait! Caleb said that his sister was in his arms- wasn’t that her?
“My junior sister apprentice is my sister, and I have only this one sister.”
Xaviera’s jealousy and anger disappeared instantly, replaced by waves of happiness.
She shyly lowered her head, “Caleb… senior fellow…”
“I’m here.”
Xaviera opened her mouth, her nose feeling sour, and nearly cried out.
Their eyes met, seeing only each other, while Boyd Drew stood not far away, his eyes dark and his fists clenched.
Xaviera nestled obediently in his embrace, and Caleb took out his phone to show her several pictures of the island, “Do you like this gift?”
The island was pristine, unpolluted, with blue waters and clear skies, with a beautiful environment that any woman would be tempted by.
Xaviera nodded shyly: “Yes, I like it! We can develop it into a tourist attraction in the future, and we’ll definitely earn back the 930 million dollars!”
Developing the island would require billions of dollars, the initial investment would be substantial, but given Caleb’s abilities, she believed it wouldn’t be long before the island became a well-known one.
As Xaviera was already envisioning how the island should be built, Caleb just gave a faint smile: “No development.”
Xaviera was puzzled: “Why? Does this island have other values, like mineral resources or oil?”
Caleb put down his phone and looked at her deeply: “This is an island for you alone, no one else is allowed.”
Xaviera’s heart trembled.
Caleb said slowly: “I don’t need this 10 billion dollars, nor do I need to make back this sum of money. From now on, this island belongs to you and you alone. ”
Having said that, Caleb handed her a document, and her name clearly appeared as the owner of the island, transferred to her.
“You spent 930 million dollars just to give it to me?”
Caleb nodded.
Xaviera’s face was shocked, it was just a gift for her, but she couldn’t understand why.
Caleb suddenly spoke: “Whatever you want, I will satisfy.”
Xaviera suddenly remembered something. When she was ten years old, Rose Campbell took her to attend a wealthy family’s daughter’s birthday party.
The wealthy family’s daughter was a year younger than her, but they had the same birthday. She wore a cheap dress with an inexpensive hairpin, while the daughter wore a dress worth thousands of dollars and a diamond tiara. The girl’s parents gave her an island for her birthday.
At the time, Xaviera had run away to a secluded spot to cry when no one was looking. She had told her senior fellow about it.
It turns out… he remembered all along.
During her moment of astonishment, Caleb gently placed a diamond tiara on her head.
His voice was gentle: “I was going to give it to you on your birthday, but I’m afraid…” Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to see it for himself, so he gave it to her in advance.
“Xaviera Evans, happy 10th birthday. I’ve missed so many years, but I will make up for them.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Xaviera’s vision blurred in an instant.
It had been ten years, not ten days or ten months. She had forgotten everything, but he still remembered.
She didn’t envy the wealthy family’s daughter for her island and tiara; she was just sad that nobody remembered her birthday and there was no family to give her gifts. She could only hide in the corner and cry in silence.
Feeling unloved and neglected, life seemed very painful..
