Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Caleb Mat is a Jealous-Natured Person
At this mont, Xaviera finally confird that Caleb was the jealous type. He clearly loved to feel jealous, but the old Caleb was good at pretending not to care, while this haughty version of him was not good at hiding it, revealing his true thoughts.
…
As night fell, Xaviera entered the master bedroom, and after a while, Caleb entered the room. His eyes gradually returned to normal, and his tone was gentle, “Xaviera.”
Xaviera knew he was back and quickly pulled him to sit down, and tentatively asked, “Caleb, I have a serious question to ask you. Do you feel unhappy when you see getting along with my brothers?”
Caleb’s expression was indifferent, and he smiled, “Of course not, they are all your brothers, and they all treat you well. Why would I be unhappy?”
Xaviera: “… ” Just keep pretending! Continue pretending!
She gave a mischievous smile, “What if I hug my brothers? You wouldn’t mind?”
Caleb’s face was full of doubt, but he still replied calmly, “It doesn’t matter, it’s normal for a sister to hug her brothers.”
Xaviera, “But we’re not real siblings! There’s no blood relationship!”
Caleb beca even more puzzled, “Xaviera, why are you asking such questions? I’m not unhappy, so don’t overthink it.”
Xaviera: “… ” I knew you wouldn’t admit it, but you have already exposed yourself.
Actually, it was quite fun watching Caleb pretending to be calm. What would his expression be like if he knew that she was watching him act all this ti?
Xaviera lowered her eyes and smiled, then told Caleb about what happened today once again because Caleb couldn’t fully accept his alternate personality’s mories, and what he rembered was fragnted, so soone had to help him sort it out.
“The woman I t at the store with Yigol was surnad Swift. She said she had t you when you were young. Do you rember her?”
Caleb thought for a mont, but didn’t seem to have any impression.
“She is the daughter of the last of the four major porcelain families, nad Tracy Swift, she ca to Libanan to attend grandmother’s birthday celebration.”
“There’s one more thing …” Xaviera hesitated, “That porcelain store owner’s surna is Turner. Before, Yigol asked him for his na, but he wouldn’t say it. Later, my second brother asked, and he told him.”
“Turner?” Caleb raised an eyebrow and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, tugging at the corner of his mouth, “He didn’t tell you?”
Xaviera shook her head.
Caleb said carelessly, “The surna Turner is rare, and there is only one such wealthy family with such a surna among the upper class. However, they are low-key in their actions, and only those in the upper class are eligible to know their na.”
“After the family head of Turner disappeared, the Turner family went into hiding. However, their strength is still not to be underestimated, and even beca more powerful. Two years ago, the Jaak family in Imperial City wanted to develop a resort, but the project was opposed by the Turner family.”
“The Turner family didn’t even show up in person. They just sent soone to convey a ssage, and the Jaak family gave up on the opportunity to build the resort, even though they had invested a considerable amount of manpower and resources already. Just because of one sentence from the Turner family, the Jaak family had no choice but to give up. With this, you should understand the strength of the Turner family.”
Xaviera was shocked, no wonder her second brother said that about the Turner surna when he found out. Such a family truly couldn’t reveal their identity casually.
“Then you think about why the Turner family opened a porcelain store in Libanan. I guess their power has already spread to various cities through this way, perhaps to find the missing family head,” Caleb said.
…
In the porcelain store.
“Grandfather.” The store owner’s na was Jared Turner, and he respectfully walked up to an old man with a dignified face. The old man was 98 years old, but he looked strong and his eyes were sharp.
The old man glanced up, exuding authority, “Did you find out any information about the girl?”
Jared answered, “Her na is Xaviera Evans. The ‘Heart of the Rose’ belonged to her mother, Nina Hughes. Nina was the daughter of the Hughes family and Mrs. Russell’s daughter.”
“I heard that Mrs. Russell was very fond of this daughter, and among Nina’s relics were many valuable items that the Russell family was able to provide, but at a great cost.”
Sir Turner’s eyes were icy, and he slowly said, “Do you think the origin of her ‘Heart of the Rose’ is questionable as well?”
“The ‘Heart of the Rose’ sent by my cousin should not have appeared in the hands of a girl who has no connection with the Turner family, especially not soone from the Russell family, which has no intersection with the Turner family. There must be so problem in between.”
