49 Chapter 49: Outsiders
At the same time, her gaze towards the Coriell family became more playful. She thought their incessant argument was because Caleb and Vita had something going on, but according to what the butler had said, this whole family was clearly narcissistic! They weren’t even boyfriend and girlfriend, but called themselves fiancées? Where’s the shame in that?
Boris Coriell’s face turned extremely ugly.
He reluctantly admitted what the butler had said but didn’t say a word, only saying, “Caleb, you are a smart man. It would be justified for you to marry Vita, but marrying Miss Evans would only bring you a bunch of troubles. Vita might have been a bit headstrong and reckless, but Caleb, you are a man, and a man should be tolerant of women, right? So, Caleb, think carefully, do you want the good–for–nothing Miss Evans or our
Vita?” @
This meant that reasoning failed, so they started to tempt him.
But why did they have to step on her while glorifying
Vita?
Xaviera chuckled.
Did this family have any self–awareness? With their daughter’s personality, what level of blindness would Caleb’s eyes have reached to be attracted to her?
She crossed her legs and gave a faint smile to Boris: “Mr. Coriell, I have a doubt that needs your
explanation.”
Boris frowned in disgust. In his heart, Xaviera was not qualified to talk to him. But before he could respond, Xaviera had already started talking on her own: “I want
to know, in Mr. Coriell’s heart what does Caleb count
as? The prestigious Libanan’s young master, turned into a love–crazed person in your mouth, who would wait for your daughter’s marriage and disregard the Mamet family’s honor.”
“It was clearly you who escaped from the marriage first, and now you’re forcing Caleb to marry your daughter. Do you think Caleb is easy to bully, or do you have some unknown reliance? You always use Sir Mamet as an excuse, but are you sure Sir Mamet
would accept your daughter…” Xaviera pointed her
C
chin in Vita’s direction, her tone ambiguous: “accept your daughter being so headstrong in causing trouble, and bringing nothing but problems to Caleb as a
granddaughter–in–law?”
The Mamet family might not need a marriage alliance to solidify their status, but they wouldn’t want a mistress who could only cause trouble, right?
Marrying Caleb wouldn’t just be about marrying him alone, but also marrying into the entire Mamet family, who needed to uphold the family’s dignity. Obviously, judging from Vita’s performance, she couldn’t do that
at all.
After she said this, there was a moment of silence. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Xaviera almost directly pointed out that Vita was not qualified to be the Mamet family’s Matron or even enter the Mamet family.
It’s called assassination of character, and this was
exactly that!
Vita pointed at Xaviera, angrily shouting, “Who’s not qualified?! I am, I’m the most qualified in the world!”
Xaviera: “..”
12-22
You’re st* pid; you’re the st* pidest in the world.
Boris’s face also didn’t look good, but he was much more scheming than Vita. He suppressed his anger and said, “Miss Evans, this is a matter between the Coriell and Mamet families. It’s not your place as an outsider to interfere.”
Boris’s words were like tearing off the veil covering their dispute. Seeing that he was no longer pretending, Xaviera nodded in satisfaction. This was
much better to look at. A real man should be
straightforward and not act like a woman, saying those odd, roundabout, and indecisive words.
With the faces of both sides torn apart, the servants all lowered their heads, trying their best to minimize their presence.
Caleb looked up coldly, his peach blossom eyes full of iciness: “Mr. Coriell, Xaviera is my legal wife. If she’s not qualified to participate in Mamet family affairs, who is? Your foolish daughter?”
Boris shivered all over.
“Caleb, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?”
Caleb put down his coffee cup, his eyes as sharp as a knife: “Don’t you understand? I agreed to marry your daughter before because your Coriell family was somewhat obedient. But you shouldn’t have pushed your luck.”
“Escaping from marriage? Want to prove that I love you? Who gave you the courage? Childhood friends, growing up together since we were little? Wasn’t it just that you had a thick face, sticking to me like glue and unable to be driven away? Your Coriell family is eager to attach yourselves to our Mamet family, but you should at least have the attitude of attachment. Don’t act like a whore while still claiming you’re a good person. It’s disgusting.”
With these words, he had virtually stripped the Coriell
family of all their dignity.
Vita couldn’t accept that her Caleb had changed like
this. She screamed like a madwoman: “No, it’s not like
this. Caleb, you love me, you love me the most… It must be Xaviera who drugged you. I’ll kill her, as long as I kill her, Caleb will be mine, mine…”
As she spoke, she reached out with her sharp fingernails, aiming straight for Xaviera’s face. She had long been unhappy with this woman. How could she
be even more beautiful than her? She must have used
her seductive face to hook away her Caleb.
Unfortunately, her hand didn’t even touch Xaviera before it was intercepted midway by Caleb. Caleb pinched her wrist, his voice as cold as ice: “Guards, get them out of here! From now on, every time a Coriell comes, beat them once!”
Boris never expected things to escalate to this point. He clenched his teeth and tried to reason with Caleb:
“Caleb, don’t be impulsive…”
