Chapter 784: Chapter 784: The Master of Discerning Deception
Xaviera Evans’ heart skipped a beat, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she stammered, “What…what are you talking about?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Caleb Mamet domineeringly drew her into his arms and said leisurely, “Let’s go, we’re going to the oil painting exhibition.”
Without waiting for Xaviera’s response, Caleb lifted her into the car. When they reached the underground parking lot of the exhibition, Caleb got out of the car first, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for her, and gently said, “Mrs. Mamet, please.”
Xaviera sat in the car, her head hanging low, not saying a word, seemingly still sulking.
With a helpless expression, Caleb bent down and said gently, “I lost control last night. It’s been so long, are you still angry? When can you forgive me?”
Xaviera: “…” How shameless this scoundrel was to even have the nerve to bring up last night!
She was suddenly furious — this dog-man had hidden the fact that he was Cold Night from her, and had been so unrestrained last night that she was still sore all over. And now he had the audacity to ask her forgiveness?
Although Caleb couldn’t hear her thoughts, he could tell from her indignant expression that she was cursing him in her heart.
When they first got married, Mrs. Mamet had always maintained a gentle and obedient image. But now that her true colors had been exposed, had she given up on pretending?
Caleb waved his hand, signaling Steve Price to leave first. Then, with one hand propped on the car door, he said helplessly, “Mrs. Mamet, if you don’t get out of the car soon, you won’t be able to see Cold Night today.”
Xaviera furrowed her brows, even at this point, he was still using Cold Night to threaten her. Did he think she was a fool?
She snorted coldly, “I already said that I don’t like Cold Night anymore. Seeing him or not makes no difference!”
With one glance, Caleb saw through her little trick and said, getting closer, with a strong hint of ambiguity, “Mrs. Mamet…don’t you like me anymore?”
Xaviera’s face flushed immediately, and she couldn’t help but think: Evil! This man was truly evil!
“Mrs. Mamet, let’s go.” The man continued to urge gently, smiling affectionately without any impatience, as he gallantly bent down to help her.
Xaviera’s face finally softened a bit. Holding his hand, she was about to get out of the car when —
“Mr. Caleb Mamet? Xaviera?” Tracy Swift’s voice came from behind them, as she hurriedly walked forward, a shocked look on her face, “Xaviera, are you and Mr. Caleb Mamet arguing?”
Xaviera and Caleb neatly ignored her, not even sparing her a single glance. But Tracy still put on an elder’s demeanor, “Xaviera, there are so many people at the entrance of the painting exhibition. Hurry up and get out of the car. Don’t make things difficult for Mr. Caleb Mamet in front of others.”
Caleb frowned, his eyes cold. Whatever conflicts he and his wife had, it was between them and it was no one else’s business. Moreover, his wife was just being a little coquettish, which he never found annoying – on the contrary, he thought she was adorable.
Xaviera, who was already a little angry, couldn’t suppress her temper any longer, “What does the matter between me and Caleb Mamet have to do with Miss Swift?”
Tracy bit her lip and looked at Caleb with grievance. In a low voice, she reminded, “Xaviera, Mr. Caleb Mamet is a man, and a very successful one at that. You can make a fuss at home, but this is outside, you should always let him save some face. Don’t you think so?”
Although her voice was not loud, she had controlled it quite well, just enough for Caleb to hear, where she showed her gentle and virtuous side.
Xaviera leaned back lazily in her seat, in no rush to get out of the car. She then looked at Caleb, whose eyes were now filled with disgust.
Even the usually composed Caleb couldn’t contain his dislike of Tracy Swift. This was enough to show how annoying this woman was. Although she had suffered from Xaviera’s hands multiple times, she still kept coming back like an indestructible cockroach, trying to disgust her again and again.
Just as Xaviera was about to speak, a mysterious voice suddenly entered her mind:
‘She’s pretending to talk to Xaviera, but she’s actually trying to get me to think Xaviera is not giving me face in front of others? Miss Swift is really underestimating me.’
Xaviera nodded in satisfaction. As expected of Caleb, he instantly saw through this angelic bitch’s intentions, truly a master at discerning women among men.
She was too lazy to deal with Tracy Swift and was about to leave when the mysterious voice whispered once more:
‘Tracy dares to bully Mrs. Mamet, and she didn’t even speak up against it. She’s indeed too weak, to be bullied by such a woman. It seems that I have to personally step up and take revenge for her.’
