Chapter 785: Chapter 785: New Grievances and Old Hatreds
Xaviera’s words were suddenly caught in her throat, and she unbelievably looked at Caleb. What had Caleb thought just now? In his heart, did he really think she was very weak?
After marrying Caleb, she had always loved pretending to be weak, but she also had self-knowledge, knowing that her little tricks wouldn’t fool Caleb. But she never thought that Caleb actually believed she was weak!
The world was too crazy!
Caleb’s voice was cold, “Miss Swift.”
Tracy Swift smiled gently, she had been raised as a noble lady since she was a child, so there was no way that Xaviera could compare to her. She believed that one day Caleb would see her goodness. Thinking of this, she smiled gracefully, “Mr. Caleb Mamet.”
Caleb casually said, “Miss Swift, do you like to meddle in other’s business?”
Tracy’s face changed, and she forced a bitter smile, “No… ”
“Miss Swift, you seem to have forgotten how you and your teacher Lester Bank were slapped in the face in public yesterday.” Caleb spoke with a light breeze, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
“Lester has already paid the price for his ignorance. Miss Swift, do you still want to follow in his footsteps? I hope you understand that you can stand here unharmed, not because you are lucky. But it is because Xaviera does not want to bother with you.”
Xaviera raised her head and smiled confidently, “Miss Swift, my husband has already made it very clear, I hope you can face reality and not always embarrass yourself!”
Tracy’s face turned pale, her lips tightly clenched. She could, of course, hear the threat in Caleb’s words.
But why did Caleb favor Xaviera so much? He didn’t even know that Xaviera’s paintings were all plagiarized! What qualifications did a woman like that have to be the mistress of the Mamet family? What right did she have to stand by Caleb’s side and be protected by him?
Caleb was only ignorant of the truth, thinking that Xaviera was a talented and knowledgeable woman. That’s why he blindly protected her. If he knew the truth, he would definitely hate Xaviera.
“Xaviera, let’s go.” Caleb took her hand and helped her down from the car.
As the two were about to leave, Xaviera suddenly stopped and turned around with a slight smile, “I heard that many people came to the Swift family yesterday and lost face in front of many friends and relatives. Miss Swift, it is admirable that you can still be so calm!”
Tracy clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hate; she wanted nothing more than to tear Xaviera apart. Why could Xaviera be so lucky, not only having a wealthy and powerful Caleb as a backup, but also being very much loved by the Russell family? Perhaps one day, that powerful family would even treat her as a precious pearl.
But she, Tracy Swift, was the first noble lady of high society in Imperial City! She was also the one who met Caleb first. She should have married Caleb and enjoyed supreme power. Why did Xaviera so easily take away everything that belonged to her?
But soon, Xaviera would be ruined; after plagiarizing Hayin’s works, even with Caleb as her support, she would not be able to withstand such a scandal. The International Oil Painting Organization would definitely not let Xaviera go lightly.
Tracy smiled triumphantly and then made a phone call, “Mom, I’ve arrived. Are you and Justin Gresia coming? I heard that Justin really appreciates Hayin’s works, and this exhibition features her work. He will be very happy when he sees them.”
After hanging up the phone, Tracy entered the exhibition hall.
After she left, a young couple emerged. Maria furrowed her eyebrows, “What is this woman up to? Isn’t Justin Gresia the young master of the Gresia family? Why did she invite him out of the blue?”
Maria was furious and complained to her brother Meredith, “It was them who caused our parents’ car accident! Now they’ve taken everything that originally belonged to us! Tracy, relying on her identity as Miss Swift, is trying to make friends with young men and women from aristocratic noble families everywhere. Shameless!”
When the car accident was mentioned, Meredith’s eyes narrowed. After he and his sister were driven out of the Swift family, they had been on the streets, hungry and cold, barely surviving. They emerged again as top hackers, but in the end, they were just hackers without any real power. It would be really difficult to bring down the deeply rooted Swift family.
Moreover, no one had stood up for them when their brother and sister were kicked out of the Swift family. Everyone allowed them to fend for themselves. Perhaps the whole Swift family was plotting the car accident of their parents. In everyone’s eyes, they, the brother and sister, were not to be feared.
