Dead silence.
Dora gasped and accidentally inhaled too hard, leading to a fit of coughing. Everyone awkwardly laughed and took a few steps back in surprise.
— Damn! So Black Tide is a fickle woman!
—She wants both? One is her husband, the other is her senior fellow, she wants Mortimer to be her mistress? She’s really on the edge!
Xaviera had a full smile on her face, feeling incredibly clever.
Caleb sneered at her.
After the party, the two returned to the Lowen Clubhouse. Xaviera thought the matter was over when Caleb suddenly approached her, “Mrs. Mamet.”
“Huh?”
“You want both of them?” Caleb calmly said, “I didn’t expect Mrs. Mamet to be this fickle, not satisfied with just one man, but wanting two.”
Xaviera: “!!”
Steve Price had a horrified look on his face, quickly rushed over to Xaviera and whispered, “Wife, are you keeping gigolos? And two of them at that?”
Xaviera, startled, yelled: “I am not! Get out of my way!”
Steve Price: “Then why would the boss say that? What does he mean by wanting both? Wife, who is this guy outside that has such charm?”
Xaviera was at a loss for words: “It’s my senior fellow! My senior fellow is Caleb, your boss!”
Steve Price suddenly realized, “Wife, you’re Black Tide! You are the boss’s junior sister! Wow, what a special fate! Knowing each other for so many years, and marrying by chance…”
Xaviera nodded quickly like a pecking chicken: “Yes, that’s right, so my senior fellow and husband are both Caleb. On the surface, they’re two different people, but in reality, it’s just him!”
Who would have thought that Steve would hesitate for a few seconds before asking, “That’s not right. When you got married, you didn’t know the boss was Mortimer, and you didn’t know he was your senior fellow…”
Steve’s face was full of horror: “So when you married the boss, you were actually in love with your senior fellow? Although they are the same person, at that time, you didn’t know, so you married the boss on the surface, but in your heart, you were thinking about another man?”
“Wife, how could you be so fickle?”
Xaviera: “!” Damn it! This jerk is trying to ruin me!
She was so angry that she stomped her foot, “Not at all! I only like Caleb, and I didn’t like my senior fellow before. It was only after I found out that Caleb was my senior fellow that I started to like him. I am not fickle at all, okay?”
Steve looked doubtful, “Really? You’ve known the boss for ten years. How could you not have feelings for him with how good he is to you? He’d pick down stars from the sky if you wanted them and would solve all your problems. Has he ever treated anyone else this way?”
“With such an outstanding and warm man, how could you not like him? Wife, are you lying?”
Xaviera lowered her eyes, embarrassed to admit, “Well, it’s just that…”
Sean Price happened to come by and tried to pull Steve away, but Steve stubbornly continued to ask, “What is it? Just say it!”
Xaviera took a deep breath, decided to tell the truth and sheepishly laughed, “I used to think my senior fellow was a… a greasy middle-aged man, probably in his forties or fifties.”
Steve took a few steps back, looking shocked, “Ahh, that…”
After returning to the room, Xaviera called Albert Sullivan.
“Xaviera, I’ve learned that Grandpa went to Linchel City before coming to Libanan. I want to go to Linchel City and check out the clues. Do you have any on your end?”
Xaviera stayed silent for a moment: “I don’t know if it’s true, but I have a feeling that this clue will be useful.”
“Today, I attended Star’s party as Black Tide, and Maria from the dark web barged in, saying she knew the whereabouts of the miracle doctor’s Saint Hand.”
Albert’s face darkened.
Xaviera continued, “I investigated Maria. Although she didn’t have much strength, her older brother is the leader of the dark web, and their family has significant power behind them. No one knows their identities in real life, and no clues can be found, but I always feel like Maria looks very familiar.”
