Xaviera Evans subconsciously glanced at him.
This man… was he defending her?
Vita Coriell’s face instantly stiffened.
Mrs. Mamet shouted angrily, “Caleb, what kind of nonsense are you saying? Vita is your fiancée, and the Coriell and Mamet families will be closer in the future. But you dare to say that you’d bankrupt the Coriell family all for Xaviera Evans, this bitch? Have you lost your mind? Xaviera Evans, the mistress and temptress!”
“Mrs. Mamet, was my warning to you not valid?” Caleb Mamet spoke
impatiently, “You keep calling Xaviera a third party, placing yourself on a moral high ground. Have you forgotten your dark history of causing the death of the original wife and taking her place?”
“You clearly got your position by being the mistress, yet you pretend to hate mistresses and wish for them to die… It makes me doubt my memory that Mrs.
Mamet herself… is a mistress.”
The air fell into a deadly silence.
Xaviera couldn’t help but widen her eyes. Mrs. Mamet was the mistress? Then
Caleb…
Mrs. Mamet’s fingertips trembled slightly, “You ungrateful child! If I am the mistress, then what are you? An illegitimate child who can’t be seen in public?!”
Caleb’s eyes turned cold, “I am indeed an illegitimate child, which is why I never covet things that do not belong to me. However, it appears that Mrs. Mamet and Miss Coriell do not understand this.”
Xaviera never expected that an argument would bring up the old grievances between the Mamet family from years ago. Mrs. Mamet could barely stand, feeling dizzy and stumbling back a step before collapsing onto the sofa. Seeing this, Vita quickly changed her tone, “Caleb… I mean, Mr. Mamet, don’t talk to Mrs. Jenny like that. She is just too concerned about you, so that’s why things are chaotic right now…”
“Butler, show our guests out.”
Caleb didn’t even glance at Vita, directly ordering the butler to close the door and escort the guests out.
Mrs. Mamet was kicked out of the villa by her own son, her whole body trembling with anger. Although Vita despised Mrs. Mamet’s incompetence, unable to let her stay in the villa, she knew that she could only rely on Mrs. Mamet, and thus spoke soothingly to her.
“Mrs. Jenny, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have held on to illusions about Caleb, knowing that he was already married but still wanting to be with him. I… I just can’t accept that he abandoned me to get married like this… But the matter is settled now, and I tried my best. But with Caleb’s attitude towards me… What should I do, Mrs. Jenny? It seems like I can’t be your daughter-in-law anymore.”
Vita grew more upset and emotional as she spoke, “Mrs. Jenny, I don’t want to interfere with Caleb’s marriage, I don’t want to be the third party. I just want to know why Caleb chose Miss Evans over me.”
Mrs. Mamet’s eyes darkened, ‘Vita, rest assured, you will never be the third party. You are the daughter-in-law I recognize, the only one. The position of Mrs. Mamet is just temporarily taken by that bitch Xaviera Evans. You will take it back eventually.”
Vita shook her head, sobbing, “I can’t take it back. Miss Evans can throw away her dignity, but I can’t… I can’t break their marriage… I can wait until they get divorced, I can wait for Caleb forever.”
Vita planned everything carefully.
Her engagement to Caleb was all a lie, and Caleb appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day not for her. But no one knew about this except for Caleb and her. As long as she insisted that she was Caleb’s fiancée, she could maintain that Xaviera was a mistress for as long as she wanted to!
Mrs. Mamet grumbled, “That Xaviera is nothing but a disgusting foxy woman. How could she compare to you? Vita, rest assured, my daughter-in-law will always be you, and I will help you take back the position of Mrs. Mamet.”
Vita cried, “Mrs. Jenny, I don’t care about any of this, you know I don’t care.
The only thing I’m afraid of is outsiders laughing at Caleb once they find out. After all, Miss Evans is not from the upper class and has never learned upper-class etiquette. I am afraid she will embarrass Caleb and bring trouble to him… Caleb is already tired from managing the company, and he finally married a wife thinking that she would help him share the burden. But instead, she only made it heavier.”
Vita watched Mrs. Mamet’s expression as she choked, “Mrs. Jenny, why don’t you help Miss Evans? Hire an etiquette teacher for her to teach her about the upper-class society. No matter how Caleb treats you, he is still your son. You cannot stand by and watch as Caleb is ridiculed bv others.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mamet became even angrier, but she also admired Vita’s comprehensive thinking. She patted Vita’s hand, “You’re always the most considerate, Vita..”
