Chapter 696: Chapter 696: He is Destined to Disappear

Upon hearing Xaviera Evans mention the poison, Jenny Green’s eyes filled with fury as she screamed, “It was you! You poisoned us!”

Last time, Jenny Green locked Xaviera in the basement, only for her and Yvette Flack to mysteriously end up poisoned. She knew Xaviera had done it, but there was no evidence, and even the Medical Association couldn’t uncover any clues.

That bitch!

“Mrs. Mamet, don’t you wonder how I was able to poison you without leaving any trace? Soon you’ll find out just how foolish it is to cross me.”

“The poison last time wasn’t meant to kill you, just a small warning. But this time…” Xaviera’s lips curled into a profoundly meaningful smile.

Jenny Green felt a sudden chill in her heart, and the next second, Xaviera nonchalantly said, “This time the poison I gave you is much more potent than the last. I hope you can survive, Mrs. Mamet, or who will I play with in the future?”

Jenny Green clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with anger and confusion. Why would Xaviera stay by this man’s side even though she knew he wasn’t Caleb Mamet?

“Xaviera! Everything I said is true! He’s not Caleb! He is a demon! I really didn’t lie to you this time!”

A sharp scream echoed, and Caleb Mamet’s heart suddenly contracted. His eyes were filled with icy murderous intent, which frightened Jenny Green, making her lower her gaze and shiver involuntarily.

The next second, Xaviera calmly said, “I know.”

Jenny Green looked at her in disbelief, as Xaviera casually said, “Mrs. Mamet, are you unable to understand human language? I’ve already said I know he’s not the original Caleb, but he’s still a part of Caleb, and he never changed.”

After she finished, Xaviera took Caleb’s hand and entered the Maple House. His murderous intent dissipated, and holding the warm, soft hand, he couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

He was born in darkness, known to others as a demon. Everyone who found out about him looked at him with terror and ridicule, but only Xaviera’s indifference and closeness resembled a ray of light shining into his dark life.

Even though he was just a superfluous personality and had forcibly taken over a body that didn’t belong to him, Xaviera never blamed him, and she stayed by his side.

After they entered the door, Caleb whispered, “Are you really not afraid of me?”

“What is there to be afraid of?”

Caleb lowered his gaze, feeling nervous for the first time. “What Jenny Green said was half true and half false, but I am indeed from the darkness…”

He had never thought of himself as a demon. He believed he came to save the poor Caleb. It was Jenny who called him a demon, saying that he was bloodthirsty and murderous. Xaviera might also think so since she liked gentle, warm-hearted men and not the ruthless, wicked ones.

Xaviera looked at him puzzled, “Whatever Jenny Green says doesn’t have the slightest impact on me. Why would you think I’m afraid of you?”

“Have you ever been to the basement of the Lowen Clubhouse? It’s a dark, damp place that never sees daylight. It’s the underground prison that Caleb spent years building in his home. What do you think he built it for?”

From the day she met Caleb, she knew he wasn’t a good person, just good at disguising himself as a polite, aristocratic young man.

Xaviera blinked and smiled, “What do you have to worry about? I’m not a good person to begin with. Isn’t it perfect for us to be together?”

Right after her words, Yigol Mamet rushed in, chirping, “Xaviera! What gift have you prepared for Grandma? Hurry up and show me!”

Caleb lowered his gaze, hiding his emotions. He suddenly felt that living with Xaviera was a wonderful thing, but he was destined to disappear.

At that moment, Xaviera turned around and took a scroll from the gift box, gently unrolling it. “I heard that Madam Mamet loves collecting Sir Whitman’s calligraphy. This is his ‘Thousand Character Longevity’ that he made before he died. He personally wrote a thousand characters of longevity. It’s the perfect birthday gift for her.”

Yigol’s eyes lit up, “Thousand Character Longevity? Xaviera, you’re amazing! Not only did you help me get the famille rose porcelain vase, but you’ve also managed to get such a valuable piece. This calligraphy is worth at least 10 million dollars.”

Madam Mamet was the mistress of the Mamet family, and during her healthier days, she managed the entire family. She had seen all kinds of treasures and the value of gifts didn’t matter, only the thought behind them did.
