Chapter 68: The Invitation from the Coriell Family
Translator: 549690339
Inside the villa, Caleb Mat glanced away slightly: “Mrs. Mat doesn’t have any questions?”
Xaviera Evans was taken aback: “…What do you want to ask?”
Caleb smirked, full of sarcasm: “Aren’t you interested in the fact that the head of the Mat family is an illegitimate child?”
Xaviera:
Why would she be interested?
Every family has its difficulties, and she had her hands full dealing with her own family’s problems; she had no ti to be interested in other people’s grievances or hatreds. Besides… What could one’s background represent? Who would want to be born an illegitimate child? If infants had a choice, they would rather be born into a poor family than be an illegitimate child who couldn’t see the light of day, especially one from a rich and wealthy family.
Xaviera had heard so stories about Caleb’s childhood from the housekeeper and knew that Mrs. Mat often abused him when he was little, not giving him food or drink, and often putting him in solitary confinent. Xaviera thought that behind every successful person lies bitterness; very few people have a smooth life from the very beginning.
Take her and Caleb, for example. At least she was better off than Caleb because she had Uncle Evans, who sincerely cared for her and made her childhood less miserable. But Caleb was entirely on his own; it was said that he even had a younger brother. They were born from the sa mother, but their treatnts were worlds apart.
Mrs. Mat doted on her younger son, giving him everything he wanted, and even sought to wrest control of the Mat family from Caleb and pass it on to her younger son.
When she first heard these stories, Xaviera wondered if Caleb was truly Mrs. Mat’s biological child. She pondered whether there was a dramatic twist, like a plot where an imposter prince takes the place of the real one. Otherwise, why would a mother treat her children so differently?
Caleb leaned against the recently tidied sofa and cast her a casual look.
It was at this mont when the housekeeper returned after seeing off the guests: “Mr. Mat, the lady said she ca today to tell you that the Coriell family is hosting a banquet at Mifo Hotel. Sir Coriell’s intention is to have you in attendance…”
Sir Coriell.
Xaviera caught the keyword, and Caleb’s cherry blossom eyes narrowed as well. If the invitation ca from anyone else in the Coriell family, he could simply ignore it. But he couldn’t do that for Sir Coriell, who had once helped the Mat family. It was reasonable for him to accept the invitation.
Moreover, Sir Coriell was the only sensible person in the Coriell family.
The housekeeper continued when he saw that Caleb didn’t say anything, and his face did not show much resentnt: “The reason the Coriell family is having a banquet is because they have acquired one of Lohill’s designed dresses. This dress is a worldwide limited edition, and the Coriell family purchased it. The Coriell family has invited many people from the upper class, as well as elites from the fashion industrv. Thev are most likely lookinz to break into the high-end luxury dress market.”
Xaviera stiffened when she heard the na “Lohill.” Her designed dress was in the possession of the Coriell family? How did it get there? She didn’t have many global limited-edition designs in her collection, but her favorite was ‘Fleeting Ti.’
Before Xaviera could finish her thought, the housekeeper continued: “The dress is Lohill’s design, ‘Fleeting Ti.’ There are very few design drafts by Lohill in circulation, and even fewer finished products. When ‘Fleeting Ti’ first appeared, countless people fought for it, but then it suddenly fell silent. People speculated at the ti that it had been bought at a high price, but they didn’t expect the buyer to be the Coriell family.”
It seems that although the Coriell family has declined in recent years, their solid foundation remains.
Xaviera: ‘
She was just thinking about ‘Fleeting Ti,’ and the housekeeper said it aloud.
But Xaviera doubted if she heard correctly, ‘Fleeting Ti’ was her proudest work, she had initially planned to auction it off, but she started to love it more as she looked at it, and finally, she decided not to sell it at all; the genuine ‘Fleeting Ti’ was stored intact in her house. Where did the Coriell family get their ‘Fleeting Ti’ from then?
A counterfeit product? And they are showcasing it at a banquet?
Xaviera couldn’t help but think, wouldn’t it be fun to expose the Coriell family’s ‘Fleeting Ti’ as fake at the banquet?
Seeing the mischief in her eyes, Caleb suddenly smirked and asked, “Do you want to go?”
Startled by his sudden question, she suddenly rembered that he already knows she is Lohill.
There went all the mystery.
“I do, I want to see this legendary ‘Fleeting Ti’,” she nodded without hesitation.
Caleb chuckled lightly: “You’re such a naughty kid.”
As soon as he heard Xaviera’s tone, he knew she was thinking of sothing, and he guessed there must be sothing wrong with the Coriell family’s ‘Fleeting Ti’. But he didn’t really care about that, the people from the Coriell family had been bouncing around in front of him lately, teaching them a little lesson was not too much to ask for..
