Jenny Green was so angry that she gritted her teeth, “Caleb, could your uncle be lying?”
“Now that there’s no evidence, you guys can claim whatever you want!”
“Mrs. Mat, I was the one who hit your brother.” Caleb’s voice was cold, his tone indifferent, and his gaze swept over Wade Green as if looking at garbage.
Xaviera Evans was stunned for a few seconds, since she was the one who hit Wade Green, not Caleb!
She didn’t an to refute because she did hit him, but it was just a minor injury. If she had to take responsibility, it would only be for so dical expenses.
Xaviera looked at Caleb with concern, leaned a little closer, and heard –
[Everyone from the Mat family is here. If they find out she’s the one who hit soone, there’s no telling what unpleasant things they’ll say.]
[And if this goes around, how could Mrs. Mat continue to pretend to be weak?]
Xaviera was speechless: “…”
[Actually, Mrs. Mat looks quite cute when she pretends to be weak, and she seems to be happy. As long as she likes it, I’m willing to go along with it.]
Xaviera knew that Caleb’s intelligence had long seen through her little sches, and her “weak” image had already crumbled. What she didn’t expect was that her senior fellow indulged her in continuing to pretend and also enjoyed playing along.
Then…
[I can’t let Grandma know that Xaviera’s weakness is all an act, or else…]
What? Xaviera quickly got closer.
[If Grandma knew that Xaviera had a fierce temperant like her, where would I get any happiness in the future?]
Xaviera widened her eyes and lowered her voice, “Caleb, were you beaten by your grandma when you were young?”
Madam Mat had a fiery temper, and no one in the Mat family dared to disobey her. Because of her protection, Caleb was not hard by others.
Caleb smiled casually: “Grandma does have so thunderous thods, but in the Mat family, this is the best way to establish authority, otherwise, how could you suppress these monsters?”
“But I’ve always been obedient and sensible, so Grandma wouldn’t discipline , she only dealt with those disobedient descendants, like Mr. Mat and that kid Yigol Mat.”
Xaviera nodded thoughtfully, that made sense.
[How could I tell her I was beaten? Wouldn’t that make look bad in front of her?]
Caleb thought to himself, not knowing that Xaviera had already heard him clearly.
Xaviera lowered her head, smiling slyly.
So, Caleb had been beaten by his elders when he was young. No wonder he was so skilled when disciplining Yigol – it was all experience from his childhood.
At the mont, Jenny Green and Will Mat were still arguing and completely disregarded the fact of poisoning. Instead, they accused Caleb of disrespecting his uncle by hitting him.
Jenny Green’s face had softened. She saw that Madam Mat was about to fall asleep. Once she slept, the whole Mat family would be under their control.
Just then, Albert Sullivan’s assistant walked in, whispered a few words into Albert’s ear, and then Albert and several mbers of the dical Association stared, their faces changing.
Xaviera smiled aningfully, and the real struggle had begun.
Albert asked solemnly, “Mrs. Mat, I really can’t understand how Mr. Caleb Mat offended you? And how our dical Association offended you?”
Mr. Mat looked puzzled – he didn’t understand what this had to do with the dical Association and why Albert ca to the Mat family with the people from the dical Association?
Earlier when Albert helped Madam Mat enter the room, Mr. Mat thought Albert was there to treat Madam Mat. Now, it seems to be about Caleb.
Albert spoke sternly: “Mrs. Mat just said she didn’t poison Mr. Caleb Mat, but the sachets of srizing fragrance thrown into Maple House could cause hallucinations and accelerate the onset of the toxicity in Mr. Caleb Mat’s body!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to argue. We, the dical Association, always speak with evidence. This srizing fragrance happens to have been obtained from our dical Association. Due to its toxicity, buyers must register. I’ve already investigated, and the buyer of the srizing fragrance was Wade Green! He ca to the Mats’ house to poison Mr. Caleb Mat, and getting beaten is actually a light punishnt.”
“For so many years, our dical Association has been trying to detoxificate Mr. Caleb Mat, but Mrs. Mat instigated her brother to poison him instead, triggering his toxicity. When that happens, where will our dical Association’s reputation be? Mrs. Mat, what is your intention!”
