Chapter 660: I’ll Protect You From Now On
Albert Sullivan didn’t say it outright. Xaviera Evans asked in surprise, “Are you talking about that reclusive wealthy family in the Northern Region?”
“Yes, back in the day, my father’s business was booming, and he was invited to the Northern Region. He saw that influential family that dominated the Northern Region and saw the ruby necklace at a banquet. This necklace is referred to as the ‘Heart of the Rose.’ However, it’s unclear as to why this necklace would be among Mrs. Nina’s possessions.”
Xaviera was incredibly shocked.
Albert continued, “Most of the items in the inheritance can’t be traced. Xaviera, if I find any new information, I’ll give you a call.”
Just as he was about to hang up, Albert suddenly turned cold, “By the way, do you need my help with the Campbell family affairs? I knew Anna Campbell was tricky. I should have let Albert get rid of her in the first place!”
“Albert, don’t resort to violence. Murder is a crime,” Xaviera casually responded, “Do I need you to deal with them? I’m enough on my own!”
The Campbells seem desperate for the inheritance, probably because their company is having some issues. It seems like they have no clue about the astounding amount of wealth my mother left behind, which means they also have no idea where this wealth came from. Mrs. Russell may not even know about it.
So… What is my mother’s relationship with that Northern Region family? What else is hidden behind it all?
“Xaviera, tomorrow marks the anniversary of Mrs. Nina’s death. Our siblings should accompany you.”
In the past, on this sorrowful day, her brothers were always around. However, she hesitated this time, glancing at the man behind her. Caleb Mamet was sitting on the couch with a deep, gloomy expression.
Xaviera felt a sudden chill in her heart and rushed to say, “No need, I have someone to accompany me.”
After hanging up, Xaviera walked over to Caleb, who was surrounded by a cloud of smoke from his cigarette, his eyes reflecting complex emotions. His hoarse voice, “They bullied you; why didn’t you come to me?”
Xaviera looked up in surprise.
Caleb blew out a ring of smoke and calmly said, “Maybe I used to ignore such things, but from now on, whenever you’re in trouble, you can come to me.”
The Caleb from the past was hypocritical. He didn’t treat her well, but he would treat Mrs. Mamet well.
Recently, Caleb spent a lot of time pondering in his study. He was sure that he didn’t genuinely love Xaviera, otherwise, why would he stand by, seeing her being bullied without helping?
As a vulnerable woman, the opponents she faces are a wealthy family and the online rumors. How could she withstand all these?
Thinking about the state of her after being wronged, crying under the quilt makes Caleb restless. An indescribable emotion was churning inside him.
He was well aware that he was not the real Caleb but a stronger personalty evolved when the young Caleb was bullied. Born from the darkness, as Caleb grew older and stronger, he wasn’t needed anymore.
This time he could wake up, he was also very surprised. He didn’t know how long he could exist this time, but as long as he exists, he would protect Xaviera from harm.
Caleb looked at the woman in front of him with complex eyes and said deeply: “Don’t be afraid, I will help you.”
Xaviera’s phone suddenly rang, a message from the Lingo Pavilion. She read and promptly deleted it, opening her mouth to say, “Tomorrow, I have to go to the Campbell house.”
“Okay, I’ll accompany you.”
Xaviera thought Caleb was behaving like a loyal dog today, like a naive little puppy. This feeling seemed not bad at all.
There was laughter in her eyes, “Caleb, don’t worry about me.”
Caleb became even more upset. Even though she was the victim here, she ended up comforting him. This woman is so silly!
He stood up from the couch, moved closer, just in time to hear her whispering:
——’He’s so good to me!’
——’Even though he… He’s still so good, so good it makes me want to cry.’
Caleb didn’t hear every word clear but managed to catch some fragments. He roughly understood Xaviera was expressing her gratitude.
…..
The next day.
Nidya Hughes had sent invitations to Libanan’s affluent families asking them to join a reception at the Campbell residence.
Anna Campbell’s explanation was that Nidya Hughes was feeling quite depressed lately. Her biological daughter refused to return home or return any of Nina Hughes’ belongings. They couldn’t get in touch with Xaviera either. To cheer up Nidya Hughes, they invited over some people to the Campbell house to have coffee and chat to help ease her sadness.
