Chapter 449: 449: The Lone Star of Catastrophe

With a hoarse voice, Caleb Mamet admitted, “It was my oversight, but I won’t let her take risks anymore.”

“Good boy,” Madam Mamet sighed with relief. “Her blood can detoxicate. It’s not a good thing, so you have to protect her as much as possible, and never let anyone learn this secret.”

At the gate of the house, Xaviera Evans curiously asked a servant, “Do you know why Madam Mamet refuses medical treatment? Actually, I can arrange someone to treat her.”

The servant helplessly smiled bitterly, “Maybe because Madam Mamet is kind-hearted, she does not want the younger generations to worry about her, which is why she refuses treatment.”

Could that be the reason? Xaviera fell into contemplation.

At this moment, a burst of noisy talk came from not far away.

Will Mamet said excitedly, “Just like his mother, Caleb Mamet is completely insane! His disease has not been cured all along, I reckon he will go blind soon. By then, he won’t be qualified to inherit the Mamet family. Just confine him in the yard at the back of the Mamet home, declare him terminally ill, unable to bear outside responsibilities, and let him survive as he can!”

After he left, a few people from the Drew family said excitingly, “Will Mamet is right. If Caleb were not sick, he would indeed be the most ideal candidate for the heir. However, he is a lunatic! And destined to lose his sight! How could the Mamet family be entrusted to a useless fellow like him.”

“I vividly remember when he was locked behind the basement as a child, his deranged look, his stare was as if he was about to kill someone, so terrifying.”

“When he goes insane, he does kill people! And his eyes are… Ah! Never mind. It makes me shudder just thinking about it. In any case, people like him are natural disasters. They don’t deserve to have a family. They should have been abandoned at birth!”

Hearing these discussions, Xaviera was infuriated to the point of gritting her teeth.

They dare speak about Caleb Mamet like this behind his back; these people are destined for the Hell of Tongue Pulling!

Unaware of Xaviera’s presence, the people continued their mockery. Pure jealousy drove them to belittle Caleb; they didn’t dare confront him directly and only dared smear him behind his back. They were just classic loudmouths!

Xaviera’s eyes glowed with a dangerous light. With a flip of her wrist, a few silver needles flew out quickly, piercing several people and then quickly retracted back. The whole process took only two seconds without leaving any traces.

“Ah! It hurts! What was that?”

“I also felt a sting on my back!”

“What’s happening?”

“Could it be…Caleb? I heard he came back to see Madam Mamet just now!”

Xaviera gave a victorious smirk. After mentally counting to three, those men suddenly turned pale before they started rushing to find a restroom clutching at their stomachs.

“Naughty!” The gentle voice of Caleb Mamet suddenly sounded. After finishing his conversation with Madam Mamet, who soon fell asleep due to fatigue, he walked outside to find Xaviera using her hidden weapon.

With an awkward smile, Xaviera said, “What’s so naughty about this! I’m just playing around! No harm done, ha ha …”

After laughing a few times, she suddenly realized, how long had Caleb been standing there? She didn’t care about the hidden weapon, Caleb already knew about that. But did he hear what those men had been saying about him?

They called Caleb worthless and insane…

Xaviera’s face became somber, worry filling her eyes. However, he appeared calm, “Madam Mamet has been awake quite long this time, and her health is not bad. Shall we stay here to accompany her for a few days?”

Without hesitation, Xaviera nodded her head. Madam Mamet was old and didn’t have much waking time left, so it was only natural for Caleb to stay and keep her company.

“You should know I have my own yard in the Mamet home,” said Caleb, his eyes deepening.

Of course, Xaviera had heard of it. The yard was called Maple House. Given its name, there must be many maple trees where he lived. When autumn comes, the ground would be covered with red maple leaves, it must be beautiful.
