s Long As They

Are Pretty And Obedient

Without waiting for Yvette Flack’s response, one question after another was asked: “Have you ever participated in the International Translation Competition? What was your result? How about your university graduation grades? Has your graduation

work ever been nominated for any awards?” a

Yvette Flack shuddered slightly.

Caleb Mamet: “What was the initial fashion design philosophy proposed by the Mamet Corporation? Did you participate in the last Paris Design Competition? Do you think you have the ability to win the championship at the Paris Design Competition?”

With each question Caleb asked, Yvette trembled more, her face pale.

Many of the things he mentioned, she had never even heard before. Her college diploma was bought as

well… Besides falling in love, she did nothing in

college!

141 Chapter 141: As Long As They Are Pretty And Obedient

The noblewoman became anxious: “Oh, Caleb, why are you asking all these questions? Are you really considering using Yvette as an assistant? That would be a waste of her talent. She is just your personal

assistant, handling some private matters. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t understand your jargon; as long as she is good–looking and obedient, it’s fine.”

It’s almost like she’s telling Caleb outright that she sent this woman to his side to sleep with him.

As Caleb’s bedmate, she doesn’t need a lot of talent or ability, just good looks, beautiful appearance, and being gentle and attentive on demand.

Caleb looked at her with a half–smile: “Handle s141 Chapter 141:ome private matters? I have my hands and feet; do I need her help for them? Just look at her and see if she’s

even worthy!”

“Forget about being an assistant. I don’t see her fitting that role. Any assistant from the Mamet Corporation is a top graduate with numerous awards. Someone like Miss Yvette Flack, who knows nothing? Better not to send her to disgust me.”

Xaviera Evans: “…”

141 Chapter 141: As Long As They Are Pretty And Obedient

This man either doesn’t speak at all, or when he does, he’s infuriating. However, listening to Caleb scold people is so thrilling!

Caleb leisurely concluded: “Miss Yvette Flack, you should focus more on improving your abilities. Without good looks or capabilities, you’ll be eliminated by society eventually. All right, we’ve said our piece; let’s go.”

The last sentence was directed at Xaviera Evans, who immediately put away her beaming expression, obediently allowing Caleb to lead her away.

However-

These people had been waiting for such a long time for this opportunity – how could they let it go so easily? If Yvette didn’t end up in Caleb’s bed today, all their efforts would have been wasted!

The noblewoman disregarded all propriety and rushed forward, dignity be damned: “Caleb, wait! Perhaps my words were unclear. Yvette may not be quite qualified as an assistant, but she’s exceptional in other ways. She can serve you well, ensuring a unique experience. Just give a nod, and I’ll have Yvette attend to you at

141 Chapter 141: As Long As They Are Pretty And Obedient

your house or even at the old mansion if you’re in a hurry.”

“Please consider – Yvette is not like some people. She’s a thousand times better than the one you married. She’ll be submissive to you and won’t defy any of your

orders…”

The living room suddenly went quiet.

Xaviera narrowed her eyes – it’s one thing to offer Caleb a woman, but to belittle her is out of line, isn’t

it?

Caleb stopped: “Mrs. Whitman, are you insulting my wife?” Glancing at Yvette, his voice was dripping with derision: “Comparing this woman to my wife – is she even worthy?”

–

Mrs. Whitman was Caleb’s father’s younger sister, who had married into the Whitman family years before and became the head mistress. The Whitmans were quite influential, even though they couldn’t

compete with the Mamet family. The Mamet family had always shown her respect, and whenever she visited, they would call her Mrs. Mamet, acknowledging her connection to the Mamet family.

141 Chapter 141 As Long As They Are Pretty And Obedient

However, Caleb’s use of Mrs. Whitman instantly distanced her from the Mamet family. The problem was that she had grown used to being fawned over and never noticed the anger in Caleb’s tone.

Still full of herself, she replied, “Caleb, that’s not what I meant. I didn’t intentionally insult Miss Evans. But Yvette was raised to be a noble lady, unlike some who grew up in the countryside and lack sophistication. Caleb, although you’re the head of the Mamet family now, I still want to say this – you can’t be casual about your marriage. It’s not only irresponsible to you but also to the Mamet family.”

“Your wife, the mistress of the Mamet family, should be a well–bred lady like Yvette, gentle and virtuous, not a bumpkin from the countryside.”

142 Chapter 142: The Promise Made

During Childhood

Yvette Flack feigned surprise, covering her mouth: “So, Miss Evans is not from Libanan, but from the

countryside…”

Without finishing her sentence, she pretended to suddenly realize her mistake and apologized shyly to Caleb: “Sorry, family head, I didn’t mean to say anything bad about Miss Evans; I’m just surprised to

learn about her background.”

Caleb suddenly turned to look at her. This was the first time he had looked straight at Yvette since entering the room. She blushed, thinking that her words caught Caleb’s attention and finally made him fed up with

Xaviera.

After all, how could someone like Caleb marry a lowly woman like Xaviera? She had heard that they got married because Xaviera took advantage of a vulnerable situation and forced Caleb to marry her at

the Civil Affairs Bureau. Now that Caleb knew about

the unsavory past and background of the person by

142 Chapter 142: The Promise Made During Childhood

his side, he must be disgusted with her, right?

“You’re right. My wife indeed grew up in the countryside when she was young,” Caleb nodded slightly, agreeing with Yvette’s words.

Xaviera glanced at him unconsciously.

Yvette struggled to contain her excitement, her eyes glistening with tenderness. She glanced apologetically at Xaviera and said softly, “Really? So the rumors out

there are true…”

Caleb: “I heard that Miss Flack grew up in Libanan and received a noble lady’s education since childhood?”

Yvette was taken aback, thinking Caleb was interested in her past and quickly nodded: “Yes, the Flack family values our children’s education, so I’ve always held myself to very strict standards.”

Just in terms of background, she was miles above

Xaviera!

“Oh? Really?”

Caleb chuckled, his voice devoid of any warmth, but rather filled with a faint sarcasm: “Having received such an education since childhood, yet unable to meet.

142 Chapter 142: The Promise Made During Childhood

the assistant standards of the Mamet Corporation, I can’t help but question whether Miss Flack’s brain works properly. Of course, there are smart and st* pid people in this world. My wife, for example, grew up in the countryside but made sure to strive for excellence, becoming an internationally renowned designer and setting domestic records, making countless people proud.”

“My wife belongs to the smart category, while Miss Flack, who received an education since childhood but

couldn’t even meet the assistant standards, is just dumb. Dumb enough to be fixated on sleeping with men, offering herself to them for favors, gaining without laboring.”

Though harsh, Caleb’s words were satisfying to

Xaviera!

As a woman herself, she despised women who relied on their looks to sleep their way to the top!

What she hadn’t expected was that Caleb, an uncommunicative man with an explosive temper and little patience, would say such things to Yvette… She had prepared herself to counterattack.

142 Chapter 142: The Promise Made During Childhood

Regardless, she was determined not to be taken advantage of nor let anyone point fingers at her and

scold her.

Yvette’s tears slid down her cheeks, overwhelmed by Caleb’s words. She was on the verge of collapse:

“Caleb…”

“From now on, speak less with people whose brains don’t work properly. It’s a waste of time, and st* pidity is contagious. Let’s stay away from her,” Caleb held Xaviera’s hand: “Let’s go, we’ll see grandma first.”

Xaviera nodded, and before leaving, she didn’t forget to twist the knife in Yvette’s heart: “Sorry, Miss Flack, my husband said not to interact too much with idiots. We’ll be leaving first.”

Yvette clutched her chest, tears streaming down like a waterfall. She gasped for breath: “Caleb… I… I’m not…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed weakly to the ground.

Mrs. Whitman rushed forward in a panic: “Yvette, Yvette, don’t scare me!” Seeing Yvette’s tear–filled eyes, full of sadness even as she fainted, she couldn’t help but scream: “Caleb! Are you really that heartless?!

142 Chapter 142: The Promise Made During Childhood

Yvette has been so heartbroken for you; have you forgotten the promise you made when you were young?!”

Xaviera raised her eyebrows with interest. A childhood promise?

Mrs. Whitman sobbed loudly: “Caleb, you promised to look after Yvette for a lifetime when you were young. Now that you have a new love, you don’t want the old love anymore? Yvette has been longing to be with you, and for your sake, she refused countless outstanding men… When she heard the news of your marriage, she was heartbroken and passed out from crying. Later, she didn’t ask for anything, only wanting to stay by your side, but you spoke such cruel words. Caleb, are you even human?!”

Unfortunately, Caleb left without a backward glance.

No matter how much Mrs. Whitman cried and wailed behind them, he seemed not to hear her at all.

143 Chapter 143: You’ve Suffered

Xaviera Evans looked at him curiously. Caleb Mamet pursed his l*ps and gave a barely explanatory response, “No.“.

Xaviera was confused, “What?”

Caleb turned to look at her and said word by word, “I

never promised Yvette Flack that I would take care of

her.”

Xaviera nodded. It didn’t matter to her whether or not

Caleb had promised Yvette, as long as they didn’t come to disgust her.

Seeing her perfunctory manner, Caleb frowned and asked, “Don’t you trust me?”

Xaviera didn’t know why he suddenly became obsessed with this question, but she still shook her head to show no distrust. A person like Caleb wouldn’t say such things to Yvette deliberately because his wife was around if he truly had feelings for her. He said it because he didn’t care and was annoyed by Yvette’s

nagging.

143 Chapter 143: You’ve Suffered

Caleb raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, but found

Xaviera’s reaction a little off. Since she believed him,

why did she still look like she didn’t care? It was as if it had nothing to do with her whether he and Yvette had something going on or not.

Was this how a wife should behave?

“Mr. Mamet, you’re back.”

Just as Caleb was about to say something, a middle–aged servant suddenly appeared around the corner. The corners of her eyes were filled with the lines of time, and her smile looked kind and amiable, “Madam Mamet has been awake for a while and is waiting for you to come over.”

Madam Mamet? That must be the grandmother Caleb mentioned, right?

Caleb nodded, “Something held me up in the front hall,

so I’m a bit late.”

The servant seemed to know about the people in the Mamet family and shook her head, leading the way. Caleb held Xaviera’s hand, lowered his voice, and reminded, “Mrs. Mamet, you don’t need to worry about those people in the front hall, but I hope you

143 Chapter 143: You’ve Suffered

can do your best here with grandma and display all your acting skills.”

Xaviera understood and nodded, meaning that it

wasn’t important whether the outsiders believed in their marital harmony, but as long as they convinced Grandma that they were a happy couple, everything would be fine.

The two walked through a small garden, then a long corridor before arriving at an independent courtyard. A strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine wafted through the breeze. Xaviera couldn’t help sniffing, but Caleb showed no reaction, presumably because he was

used to it.

“Madam Mamet is waiting for you in the warm room.“”

After the servant said this, she voluntarily left.

In the warm room, sunlight spilled in, and under the golden glow, an old woman with white hair laid under a blanket in a rocking chair, waving at them with a

smile as they entered.

Caleb’s cold expression gradually softened. He walked over and squatted next to the old woman, holding her hand and gently calling, “Grandma.”

143 Chapter 143 You’ve Suttered

Xaviera had never seen this side of Caleb before. He

was always cold and reticent, often saying harsh words when annoyed, and constantly wearing a mocking

smile at the corner of his mouth, looking down on the world. But now, he was like a wild beast that had shed its edges, exposing its soft belly without any

aggressiveness.

Madam Mamet patted Caleb’s hand, “Good boy, you’ve been through a lot.”

With cloudy eyes and a hoarse voice, Madam Mamet radiated wisdom and an inherent clarity that comes from years of experience. She looked up at Xaviera with a warm smile, “Is this your wife? She’s beautiful.”

She beckoned Xaviera over, and after hesitating for a second, Xaviera mimicked Caleb’s actions and squatted beside her, gently calling, “Grandma.”

“Ah, good girl,” Madam Mamet held Xaviera’s hand, “It must have been hard for you, marrying such a blockhead.”

Xaviera: “..

“To be honest, I never thought Caleb would get married. I thought I wouldn’t live to see the day he did.

143 Chapter 143: You’ve Suffered

I’m glad you came along,” Madam Mamet said with

emotion.

Xaviera remained silent.

She felt that Madam Mamet was worrying too much, given Caleb’s circumstances, all he had to say was that he wanted to get married, and countless women

would flock to him.

Madam Mamet laughed happily, “When I heard about your wedding, I asked someone to make a pair of jade carvings as a gift for you when we met. But who would have thought that we’d meet before the carvings were

done?”

Xaviera: “…

It seemed she now knew where Caleb inherited his

knack for making people choke with his words.

However, Xaviera always remembered her mission to pretend to be a happy couple with Caleb and make Grandma happy. So she whispered, “Thank you, Grandma, it doesn’t matter about the gifts, I’m already happy just to meet you.”

“Ah, a good child indeed. What a waste you are with

143 Chapter 143: You’ve Suffered

Caleb. If he ever bullies you, tell me, and I’ll back you

up.”

Caleb helplessly: “Grandma…”

Xaviera chuckled at the side. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

now Madam Mamet had giv144 Chapter 144: The Unique Taste

of the Gift

en her a black one… Indeed, they were family, with very unique tastes.

“Alright, you have received the gift, so it’s time to go,” Madam Mamet suddenly urged them to leave.

Caleb’s l*ps were tight, his voice hoarse,

“Grandmother, I want to stay with you a bit longer.”

Madam Mamet smiled and refused, “It’s enough to see

you once. I’m tired and need to rest now.”

Upon hearing the conversation inside, a servant rushed over, “Mr. Mamet, it’s time for the family head to sleep as she wakes up less and less each day.”

Xaviera frowned instinctively, what did it mean that her waking moments were fewer and fewer?

Caleb, with a cold face, led Xaviera out. It was clear that he was not in a good mood, and Xaviera didn’t dare to poke at it. After the servant helped Madam Mamet to sleep, she hurriedly caught up with Xaviera to explain, “Madam, please don’t take offense. She’s sick and can only see people for a short while each day.”

Of course, Xaviera wouldn’t take offense. The less time

144 Chapter 144: The Unique Taste of the Gift

she spent with Madam Mamet, the smaller the risk of exposing the fact that her marriage with Caleb was a sham. She glanced at the door, and although her next question might not be very polite, she asked out of professional habit, “How long has the grandmother been like this?”

The servant was stunned, seemingly not expecting Xaviera to ask about that, but answered, “Over thirty years.”

Xaviera nodded, as that explained it. From what she observed, Madam Mamet was very fond of Caleb, and with her status in the Mamet family, she would never have allowed Caleb to be abused by his mother. It seemed that Madam Mamet was willing but unable to help, and her long periods of unconsciousness left her with no energy to care for Caleb.

“You don’t need to worry, Madam. The family head has endured for so long, and now that she sees you and Mr. Mamet living a happy life, the weight on her heart has been lifted. When people feel better, their illnesses can improve as well. I heard that Mr. Mamet has been searching for the miracle doctor, Saint Hand, for years. If they find Saint Hand, maybe Madam

144 Chapter 140 The Unique Taste of the Gift

Mamet’s illness can be cured… But I also heard that

Saint Hand disappeared years ago, and some say he’s already dead… Sigh.”

Xaviera’s head shot up, Saint Hand?!

If it’s the person she was thinking of, she might be able to help!

On the way back, Xaviera kept thinking about it. However, it had also been a long time since she last communicated with the old man. Two years ago, he sent her to Libanan, and since then, there had been no

news.

Xaviera looked down at the gun in her arms. She didn’t consider herself a warm–hearted person, and she had seen her fair share of life and death over the years. Some emotional fluctuations had gradually faded. So why did she want to find the old man to save Madam

Mamet’s life as soon as she met her?

Was it…because of Caleb?

She remembered the way Caleb looked when he reluctantly left, and her heart tightened. She didn’t want to see this man frown for some inexplicable reason. She chalked it up to immersing herself too

144 Chapter 144 The Unique Taste of the Gift

deeply into her character. In order to play a loving husband and wife, a normal wife must be worried when her husband is upset, right?

But she knew all this was a pretense, and there was no need to take it seriously or to search for the old man to treat Madam Mamet in the name of their staged relationship.

Xaviera kept finding excuses for herself but suddenly heard someone talking outside the door, seemingly discussing Yvette Flack.

“Miss Flack and Mr. Mamet were childhood friends. I

always thought Miss Flack would definitely become the mistress of our Mamet family.”

“Ah, but now there’s a new person on top. If it weren’t

for the current Mrs. Mamet, Mr. Mamet would

definitely have been moved by Miss Flack. Which man can resist a woman who loves him so wholeheartedly?”

Hearing this, Xaviera felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Yvette Flack’s room,

Mrs. Mamet’s face was gloomy. Although Yvette was

not her child, she had watched her grow up. Now,

seeing Yvette humiliated by Xaviera, how could she

bear it?

145 Chapter 145: Why should we

apologize?

Yvette Flack’s hand still had an IV drip connected to it as she weakly opened her eyes, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”

Mrs. Whitman was Mrs. Mamet’s younger sister, and Yvette Flack was Mrs. Whitman’s husband’s niece. Yvette grew up with Caleb Mamet, as childhood friends. Both families dreamed of their children growing up and getting married together, deepening

their familial ties.

Mrs. Whitman had no children of her own, so she treated Yvette like her own daughter and spoiled her. Consequently, Mrs. Mamet also loved and cared for Yvette. Now, seeing Yvette forcing herself to comfort them, their hearts ached like they were being stabbed

with knives.

Yvette bit her l*p, tears unconsciously falling: “Auntie, Mrs. Mamet, I understand my b*dy. It has nothing to do with Miss Evans. I am just a little heartbroken for Caleb…”

145 Chapter 145: Why should we apologize?

Pausing for a moment, she gathered her courage and spoke softly, “Caleb is such an outstanding person, yet he married such a rude wife who is also very arrogant. In the future, I wonder how much trouble she will cause for Caleb. Caleb is already exhausted from work, and now he has to deal with her issues… Just thinking about it makes my heart ache …”

Mrs. Mamet felt her pain and saw her anger rising, “You are right! How could someone like Xaviera Evans, a country bumpkin who only knows how to cause trouble, be worthy of our Caleb?”

Yvette coughed a few times, weakly saying, “Mrs. Mamet, all I hope for is Caleb’s happiness. No matter how Miss Evans targets me, I will not care.”

Mrs. Whitman cried out loud in distress, “My silly child! Why are you so foolish?”

Mrs. Mamet abruptly stood up from her chair,

Mrs. Mamet abruptly stood up from her chair,

sneering, “We can’t just let it go that Xaviera bullied

you like this! I’ll make her come and apologize to you

now!”

As Mrs. Mamet stormed away, Yvette let out a sigh, “Auntie, you know I don’t want to confront Miss Evans.

145 Chapter 145: Why should we apologize?

I can’t compete with her in this state.”

Mrs. Whitman patted her back with sympathy, “How can you say that? You are the most deserving one in our family!”

On the other side, Mrs. Mamet directly ordered the servants to kick open Xaviera’s door.

At this time, Xaviera had just finished a call with Albert, asking if he knew Old Man’s whereabouts and

discussing Master Uland’s silver needles. Just as she put away the silver needle, her door was suddenly kicked open, and she looked up to find Mrs. Mamet’s angry gaze upon her.

“Xaviera, do you even care that you are sitting here? Yvette’s heart is weak, and you almost killed her! Did you know that? Or did you deliberately provoke her, knowing how weak she was? You wicked little Bitch!”

Mrs. Mamet was truly distressed for Yvette, but more than that, she was angry at Caleb for being disobedient, which made her lose face in front of so

many people. That was why she was so furious.

145 Chapter 145: Why should we apologize?

Now that Caleb had grown up and become

strong–willed, she could no longer torment him as she had done during his childhood, so she took all her rage out on Xaviera, who seemed easy to bully.

“You better go and apologize to Yvette now. Otherwise, don’t blame the Mamet family for

disowning you for being unreasonable and hurting

others!”

Xaviera replied calmly, “I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?”

Mrs. Mamet yelled furiously, “You made her faint! Do you think an apology is unnecessary? Is this how the Evans family educated you?”

Xaviera slowly and leisurely explained, “Mrs. Mamet, if you haven’t gone senile, you should know that the person who made Yvette faint was Caleb, not me. If an apology is needed, Caleb should be the one to

apologize… But it seems like, with your attitude, you don’t dare to trouble Caleb, so you came to me instead, right?”

Mrs. Mamet’s expression stiffened, and she started to wail, “What kind of sin have I committed! I’ve finally

145 Chapter 145: Why should we apologize?

been looking forward to Caleb getting married, but he’s married to someone like you. You don’t admit your wrongdoing and blame it all on Caleb. You’ve brought the bad habits of your countryside background to our family. How can someone like you be worthy to stay in the Mamet family? You have sullied our doorway!”

“Countryside? In our countryside, we would never make such a fuss. We would consider it embarrassing. More importantly, we know how to reason in the

countryside, unlike here, where you can accuse someone of a crime with just a few words.”

Xaviera’s words were calm, light, and airy, but they made Mrs. Mamet furious. She commanded the servants, “Go, grab her. If she doesn’t want to apologize, drag her to do so!”

Xaviera stepped back to dodge the incoming servant, scoffing, “So, Mrs. Mamet, you want to use force on me now? Is this how the upper class handles things?”

“You–!” Mrs. Mamet was seething with anger, shouting at the servants, “You useless bunch! Can’t you even handle one woman with so many of you?!”
