Chapter 705: Chapter 705: Let Her Taste the Feeling of Losing
Tracy Swift was a smart woman. She knew that she couldn’t outsmart Caleb Mat, and if she beca his enemy, the entire Swift family would suffer the consequences.
After a mont of contemplation, Tracy approached Xaviera Evans with a wine glass in hand, “Xaviera, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that the calligraphy was a counterfeit.”
“I never thought my father would make such a mistake. I misunderstood you unintentionally, Xaviera. Can you forgive ?”
Tobey Swift haughtily said, “The hostess of the Mat family wouldn’t hold a grudge over such a petty matter, right?”
Xaviera felt annoyed, wondering if these two idiots would ever stop. She didn’t go after them to settle accounts, already giving them a lot of face, and yet they dared to co and cause trouble?
Just as she was about to speak, Caleb Mat slowly walked over from the other side, “Miss Swift.”
Tracy smiled faintly, neither obsequious nor distant, striking a perfect balance, “Mr. Caleb Mat.”
Caleb Mat curved the corner of his lips, “Miss Swift, has anyone ever told you that you’re quite ugly?”
Yigol Mat: “???” Big brother, are we being so straightforward now? Although he also thought Miss Swift was unattractive, isn’t it face-slapping to say it in front of her? This isn’t leaving any face for others at all!
Xaviera’s mouth twitched slightly. She almost forgot that the current Caleb Mat was his other personality, proud and sarcastic by nature.
Although Caleb Mat hadn’t experienced much, he wasn’t stupid either. The Swift family was a porcelain family, and the family head was a famous collector. How could he possibly own a fake? Tracy Swift knew beforehand that the calligraphy was a counterfeit, but pretended not to know. When the truth ca to light, she claid to be a victim of deceit. Does she really take everyone for fools?
Seeing Tracy’s face, Caleb Mat felt annoyed and said directly, “Miss Swift, it’s not your fault that you’re ugly, but it’s wrong to co out and scare people.”
Tracy’s smile froze on her face, her mouth twitching, wanting to burst with anger but not daring to. With great difficulty, she pulled out a smile. The crying-yet-smiling expression was indeed extrely unpleasant to look at. It took her quite a while to control her face and restore her aloofness.
“Mrs. Mat, it’s my fault for this matter. It’s natural that you don’t forgive . I will offer an apology and hope that you can accept it.” Tracy Swift said.
Yigol Mat snorted coldly, “First return the “Early Winter Snow Painting”! Just saying sorry without giving anything back, you have quite the nerve!”
Tracy’s face turned pale, and she thought: since birth, she had been a well-bred lady, receiving everyone’s admiration everywhere she went. She was the most eye-catching existence among the noble ladies. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
She fell silent for a mont, her eyes reddened and left.
Yigol suddenly furrowed his brows, “Caleb, do you have a bad feeling about this? How could Boyd Drew just leave like that? I always find it strange if he doesn’t create any trouble! Both my mother and Drew are unscrupulous to achieve their goals. How can they just leave it at that?!”
“Could there be other tricks up their sleeves? Anyway, you’ve attended the birthday banquet. You and Xaviera should tell grandma and leave first!”
Caleb Mat looked indifferent, “We can’t leave, or else we’ll be giving others a handle to accuse us of being unfilial.”
“That Boyd Drew is full of bad ideas! Who knows what evil sches he’s plotting?! He won’t just let go! He will definitely find an opportunity to go after you guys!” Yigol’s deep black eyes were full of worry.
“Yigol, don’t worry, just enjoy your al.” Xaviera used the serving chopsticks to pick so food for Yigol, and then asked with a smile, “Do you think Jenny Green cares a lot about being Mrs. Mat?”
Yigol slapped the table fiercely, his face full of conviction, “Of course! If she didn’t care, she wouldn’t have the sha to beco a mistress and assu the position! Although she’s my mother, I still want to say one thing ─ she really has no sha!”
After saying that, Yigol’s eyes were filled with lancholy, “Xaviera, in fact, I feel conflicted too. I know what she’s doing is wrong, but after all, she’s my mother, the one who gave life. Sotis I even wish I was the wrong child taken by the Mat family, so I wouldn’t be her son anymore, and I wouldn’t have to be torn between you guys.”
“She did so many wrong things to gain power, even causing Miss Drew’s death, and using Caleb Mat to secure her position. Actually, she doesn’t love either. She never treated as her son but only as a tool to consolidate her status.”
Xaviera patted his hand sympathetically, and then smiled aningfully, “Since she cares, let her taste the bitterness of losing.”
