136 Chapter 136: Kneel Down
Before Me
At this point, Mag Evans knew that she couldn’t stop her grandmother and could only blame it on Xaviera Evans: “I’m sorry, everyone. My grandma might be a little too furious, and her words are a bit harsh. Actually, there’s a reason for all this–my sister has been disrespectful to our grandma at home, constantly talking back and cursing, saying that grandma refuses to die, so grandma becomes angry upon seeing her…”
In the past, perhaps her words would be believed by some classmates. However, now only a few believed
her.
Maybe some classmates still thought Mag was kind, but that didn’t make them feel that Madame Evans was kind–the impression they had of her was that of an extremely malicious old woman.
Mag didn’t know that this farce caused her carefully crafted image of kindness and gentleness to collapse- it could be destroyed with just a slight push.
After Madame Evans and Mag left, the students in the class were still indignant. They couldn’t understand how a grandmother could be like that, speaking harshly and siding with Mag without knowing right from wrong.
“Xaviera, don’t you want to explain yourself?” A
student couldn’t help but complain: “You can’t keep quiet like this forever. At least tell the truth to your family.”
Xaviera shook her head with a smile: “There’s nothing to explain. I’m used to it.”
Her simple expression of being used to it silenced all the students. They felt outraged by just experiencing this one event–what about Xaviera? The people who verbally abused her were her blood relatives. Their words felt like knives stabbing into her heart. How much pain and suffering had she endured, and how many breakdowns had she gone through before she could smile and say it’s fine, I’m used to it?
The classroom atmosphere became somewhat silent.
They seemed to understand why Xaviera left the Evans
136 Chapter 136: Kneel Down Before Me
family and no longer lived there. Was that still considered a home?
Unable to stand the silence in the classroom, someone took the initiative to break the heavy atmosphere: “Where’s Jessi Whitman? She must have snuck away. Hurry and bring her back. She said she was willing to accept the consequences if she lost the bet; we can’t let her renege on her word today!”
“That’s right. Hurry up and find her. She must kneel down and apologize!”
If anyone had any reluctance towards Jessi’s punishment before, at this moment, their sympathy for Xaviera overcame it. Xaviera had already experienced too much injustice. They wanted to let her feel fairness at least once.
Why should Jessi be able to force Xaviera to kneel
when she won, but be let off the hook when Xaviera
won? There’s no such logic in this world.
Just then, a student shouted from downstairs: “Hey, you guys better come check out the school gate. Jessi Whitman is kneeling down outside the school!”
“What?” Some students were surprised. “Did Jessi
136 Chapter 136 Kneel Down Before Me
voluntarily go to kneel at the school gate?” Did Jessi have that much conscience? Many students didn’t believe that Jessi would voluntarily kneel and apologize to Xaviera.
By now, there were already classmates in contact with students at the school gate. They started a video call, and on the screen, Jessi was kneeling at the school gate, struggling. A man in a suit stood behind her, pressing her head down, causing it to hit the ground repeatedly. The phone transmitted Jessi’s panicked voice: “Who are you guys? On what authority are you pressing me? No, no, no, I won’t kneel to that bitch
Xaviera–Ah!”
The next moment, Jessi’s head hit the ground hard.
The students in the classroom shuddered: “My god, who is ruthless enough to force Jessi to kowtow like.
this?”
Xaviera’s heart trembled, suddenly thinking of
someone.
In the classroom, the students continued to chatter: “Which justice seeker is the one forcing Jessi to kneel and apologize? Could it be someone who secretly
10:42
En Yapter 196 kiset Down Dolore Me
loves Xaviera?”
“Hahaha, I think it’s more likely that it’s another justice secker who thinks Jessi is too shameless. After all, in this situation, Jessi is the one in the wrong.”
“So cool, it feels great. People who dare to bet but don’t dare face the consequences should be taught a lesson. Let’s see if she dares to bully Xaviera again!”
Xaviera silently thanked her classmates for believing in her, then quietly left the classroom. She sneaked out through the school’s back door and went around to the front. As expected, she saw a familiar figure before
her at the school entrance.
Just ten minutes ago.
Jessi, seizing the opportunity when Madame Evans attracted everyone’s attention, quietly left the classroom to avoid being caught and needing to kowtow to the bitch, Xaviera.
But as soon as she arrived at the door, she suddenly received a call from her father, who said he was at the school gate and told Jessi to hurry out to see him.
136 Chapter 136: Kneel Down Before Me.
Although Jessi thought it was strange, she didn’t dare to disobey her father and hurried to the school gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she saw her father, he slapped her hard and said, “Unfilial daughter, kneel down!”

Kiss
Jessi Whitman argued, “Dad, by what rights are you asking me to kneel?”
Without a word, her father gave a swift kick to her knees, “You kneel when told to kneel, stop talking back!” He showed no mercy with his kick. Jessi fell onto her knees with a thud. The contact between her delicate knees and the gravel–laden ground made her wince in pain. “Dad, have you lost your mind? Why are you asking me to kneel? God, my knees hurt so bad. Help me up.”
At that moment, a pleasant male voice spoke from behind Mr. Whitman, “Mr. Whitman, seems like your daughter doesn’t really want to kneel.”
Jessi raised her head and found herself locked with
Caleb’s captivating eyes. For a moment, she was
mesmerized. She had never seen such a handsome
man before. His face resembled a meticulously carved work of art that made one wonder if such a man really
existed in this world.
137 Chart 137 Cying You a Lovo Kiss
“No, no, that’s not true.”
Mr. Whitman wiped the cold sweat off his brow. He had just received a call saying that all of their
company’s partners had severed ties with them, with all the investors also pulling out. His once thriving company was now on the brink of bankruptcy. After some effort, he managed to seek out a friend to get an understanding of why. The friend was hesitant to give any details, only mentioning that he had offended someone from the Mamet family.
There was no one else whom his friend would be so
afraid to name, other than the head of the Mamet
family!
But how could he have offended the head of the
Mamet family? His family had no business dealings with the Mamet family whatsoever! Regardless of the reason, to save his company, he made great efforts to locate Caleb and kneeled to beg for mercy, hoping Caleb would spare his company.
Unfortunately, Caleb didn’t even bother to give him a glance. Only his assistant, kindly reminded him, “Mr. Whitman, why don’t you visit your daughter at
137 Chapter 137: Giving You a Love Kiss
Libanan University? She seems to be more daring than you.”
Mr. Whitman gasped.
He had never thought that while he was working hard managing the company, his own daughter was doing everything possible to sabotage him from behind! With this in mind, he immediately drove to Libanan University, which led to the scene earlier.
“Mr. Caleb, can’t you see how sincerely my daughter is kneeling? Should there be anything that you’re not satisfied with, say it and I’ll make her adjust… Can you perhaps consider…”
Upon hearing their conversation, Jessi’s breath
hitched.
So the reason her father was making her kneel here I was because of this man standing before her? This
man who was so high and mighty…
Caleb glanced at her as if she were an ant and lightly said, “Mr. Whitman, have you had your meal yet?”
Mr. Whitman hardened his heart and pressed Jessi’s head down, making her bow deeply towards the
137 Chapter 137: Giving You a Love Kiss
direction of the teaching building. Amid the thumping noise were Jessi’s heart–wrenching cries, “Dad, it hurts so bad, dad! Why are you making me bow? What did I do wrong to deserve this!”
“Shut your mouth!” Mr. Whitman, afraid that Jessi would say something to offend Caleb again, sternly reprimanded her. “You offended the head of the Mamet family, you deserve to bow and apologize. From today onward, I want you to get the hell back to the countryside and never come back!”
Jessi couldn’t accept this. Why should she! The countryside was meant for low–life scum like Xaviera Evans, not for a highly prestigious lady like herself!
Xaviera Evans leaned against a large tree, pulled out her phone, and casually pressed a few codes. Soon, a string of characters appeared on her mobile screen, linking her to the Whitman company’s database.
After seeing the bleak state of the Whitman company, Xaviera clicked her tongue in pity. Now that all their partners had simultaneously broken contracts, the Whitmans would have their hands full. As for the
137 Chapter 137: Giving Youn Love Kiss
instigator, Jessi, she would probably have to stay in the countryside for quite a long time.
Caleb had noticed Xaviera’s presence quite early. Now, he looked at her indifferently, “Mrs. Mamet, aren’t you going to say something?”
Xaviera looked up. The man was leaning against the car with his arms crossed, his handsome face showing signs of casual indifference.
Xaviera swallowed, suddenly stepped forward, “Of course I want to say something!”
She planned to k*ss him as a sign of her gratitude, which could also help restore her sense of taste. It was a win–win! Thus, she bashfully walked towards him, “Thank you, Caleb, for standing up for me. Allow me to give you a k*ss in return.”
“Forget it.”
Caleb slightly turned his head, kindly avoiding Xaviera’s pursed l*ps, and spoke with a smile, “I’ve come to realize that we’re mutually beneficial to each other, so it’s not really a favor. Therefore, no
need to
thank me
137 Chapter 137: Giving You a Love Kiss
Mutually beneficial? Xaviera looked confused.
Caleb subtly curved his l*ps, “Mrs. Mamet, you surely didn’t forget… the promise you made me earlier, right?”

138 Chapter 138: Mrs. Mamet’s Brain Works Quite Well
Xaviera Evans furrowed her brows in thought and suddenly remembered that not long ago, Caleb Mamet mentioned they would visit the Mamet Old Mansion to act as a loving couple in front of the Mamet family members.
Could it be that he’s talking about today?!
Seeing her remember, Caleb laughed and said, “Mrs. Mamet’s brain is quite useful.”
Xaviera: “…”
Caleb: “I checked, you don’t have class today, so Mrs. Mamet, please.” He opened the car door, gesturing for Xaviera to get in.
Xaviera instinctively wanted to refuse; she wasn’t prepared to go to the Mamet Old Mansion. However, Caleb suddenly leaned close to her, his breath hot, and said, “If Mrs. Mamet performs well this time, I can agree to one thing for Mrs. Mamet, such as the thing you desire most…”
138 Chapter 138: Mrs. Mamet’s Brain Works Quite Well
He pointed at his l*ps, the meaning clear without words.
Admittedly, this made Caleb too irresistible! Xaviera knew that Caleb was very strict with his b*dy, so she couldn’t attack him even if she wanted to. She had to eat bitter food every day, which made her doubt her life choices.
Xaviera couldn’t resist this temptation, and stuttered, “Okay, a man should keep his promises. I already agreed to go to the Mamet family with you, so going with you now is appropriate.”
She didn’t want to appear like a female pervert only interested in Caleb’s b*dy.
Caleb stared at her for a while, not knowing whether to believe her or not. When Xaviera was at a loss, he suddenly chuckled, “So, can Mrs. Mamet get in the car?”
The Mamet Old Mansion was a bit remote, with an exceptionally large area. The antique–style mansion had a strong sense of history.
It was said that this mansion used to be a prince’s residence. Later, the Mamet family head at that time took a fancy to it, bought it at a sky–high price, and it became the Mamet Old Mansion. The Mamet family was not an upstart but an enduring and evergreen family after experiencing the test of history. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Generally, such a family’s background would be very profound.
Although anyone else seeing this mansion for the first time might be amazed, Xaviera was different. She had grown up with her master and seniors, who lived in a place not much worse than the Mamet Old Mansion. The history of their residence was even stronger.
As they walked, they arrived at the reception hall.
Caleb glanced at Xaviera, who was a person’s width away from him, and couldn’t help but sigh. “Mrs. Mamet, do you think a loving couple should walk this far apart?”
Xaviera: “.”
She glanced at the distance between her and Caleb, before silently getting a little closer. Caleb nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out his hand to her, “Give
The your hand”
Naviera was puzzled. Did they have to hold hands while walking?
“There’s no need, right? I think this action is unnecessary. Think about those couples on the street; not all of them hold hands when they walk.”
Unfortunately, her words were like a breeze to Caleb. Since Naviera didn’t actively give her hand, he just took it himself. The sudden heat made Xaviera’s face turn red, and she stumbled as he led her into the reception hall,
At this time, there were already some people in the reception hall waiting, about fourteen or fifteen.
Unfortunately, none of their expressions looked good. Xaviera blinked and glanced at her handholding with Caleb, suddenly realizing: Ah, the Mamet family members are very unhappy about Caleb’s sudden marriage.
Calebs led her into the reception hall, swept his gaze over the room, and, not finding the person he wanted
138 Chapter 138: Mrs. Mamet’s Brain Works Quite Well

Hand?
Xaviera was puzzled. Did they have to hold hands. while walking?

Caleb led her into the reception hall, swept his gaze over the room, and, not finding the person he wanted
138 Chapter 138: Mrs. Mamet’s Brain Works Quite Well
to see, directly asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Grandma?”
Mrs. Mamet was sitting in the middle, coughed, and a
noblewoman in her 40s or 50s next to her took the
cue and spoke with a smile, “Caleb is back, you haven’t returned for a long time. Why don’t you greet
everyb*dy?”
As she said this, without waiting for Caleb’s response, her gaze fell on Xaviera. She looked Xaviera up and down and then said disdainfully, “So you are Caleb’s newlywed wife? How can you be a wife? Caleb is so busy with his company affairs every day, and you don’t remind him of anything? Also, you came
empty–handed on your first visit and didn’t know how to greet your elders. You clearly come from a small household, you don’t have any manners.”
Xaviera: “???”
Was this the legendary undeserved disaster?
These people were afraid of Caleb and wouldn’t dare to say anything to him, so they bullied her instead?
139 Chapter 139: Get a Female Secretary for Caleb Mamet
And what do they mean by ‘uncouth‘? She didn’t even know who everyone here was, how was she supposed to greet them?
The noblewoman snorted coldly, as though she knew precisely what Xaviera Evans was thinking, and spoke directly: “Xaviera, surely you must know who I am? You’ve been married into the Mamet family for quite some time now, yet you’ve never bothered to get to know the elders? Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?”
Everyone turned to look at Xaviera, even though no one openly criticized her, their disdain was clear in their eyes.
The noblewoman continued to mock: “Truly a country bumpkin with no manners, I wonder what Caleb Mamet ever saw in you, I bet it’s because of your foxy looks that you got this far.”
Xaviera was so angry her cheeks puffed up. She
wanted to retort, but after all, these were Caleb’s
139 Chapter 133 Get a Female Secretary for Calon Mamel
family members. She didn’t want to be rude, so she could only swallow her frustration.
Just then, Caleb Mamet asked: “Who are you?”
His gaze floated over the noblewoman, and she froze instantly. What was going on? Why would Caleb suddenly ask her this? Was it because he genuinely didn’t recognize her or was he standing up for Xaviera?
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and the noblewoman mustered a forced smile: “Caleb, there’s no need to pretend not to recognize me for the sake of a woman. After all, your status speaks for itself. The wife
you marry represents your reputation. If she embarrasses you, it would be rather difficult, wouldn’t
it?”
The others breathed a sigh of relief.
They had thought Caleb didn’t recognize this noblewoman. Usually, Caleb rarely came back to the Mamet Old Mansion, and their interactions were brief. From their standing, Caleb didn’t need to take them seriously.
But if he outright denied knowing them, it would be
139 Chapter 139: Get a Female Secretary for Caleb Mamet
too embarrassing. Now they assumed Caleb pretended not to recognize her to spare Xaviera from embarrassment, but they did not approve.
They were Caleb’s relatives, after all, Xaviera was merely a wife. Could she be more important than them?
Just as the Mamet family was feeling dissatisfied, Caleb replied indifferently: “Indeed, I don’t recognize you, so who are you?”
He continued airily: “After all, I’m busy with work obligations and important matters, I really don’t need to bear with these random people, do I?”
His words were hefty, and the noblewoman turned pale. She never thought Caleb would dare disrespect her in front of so many people by calling her a ‘random person.‘ But there was nothing she could do given Caleb’s status; she didn’t dare to rebut.
Caleb didn’t even look at her; he took Xaviera’s arm and turned to leave: “These people are not important. You don’t need to remember them. I’ll take you to see grandma.”
Xaviera nodded vigorously, thinking that Caleb was
139 Chapter 130 Get a Fornale Secretary for Caleb Mamet
absolutely brilliant!
Was this the charm of the head of the Mamet family?!
However, before they had gotten a few steps, Mrs. Mamet suddenly stood up: “Caleb, your grandmother is napping. We’ve been waiting for your return. Now that you’re back, without saying a word, you want to go see grandmother. If others see this, they might think I’m mistreating you, since I’m such an
unpleasant sight.”
Her gaze casually fell on a young, beautiful woman sitting obediently on the sofa. The woman was about twenty years old, her almond eyes constantly shifting to Caleb, then shyly dropping downwards.
Mrs. Mamet continued: “I know you don’t like Vita Coriell. Since you’re not fond of her, I won’t force you. Look here, this is your cousin, fresh from university graduation. I think your company could use a female secretary, and since she’s a university grad, maybe you could give her a try.”
The nearby noblewoman chimed in enthusiastically: “Right, this girl is beautiful and has a great
temperament. Plus, she is a grad from a prestigious
Chapter 139 Get a Femain Secretary for Caleb Mamet
university, much better than some people!”
She glanced at Xaviera disdainfully, then with a flattering smile, added: “Caleb, she studied design. Doesn’t the Mamet Corporation want to break into the clothing design industry, aiming to create the most high–end designs? This girl is perfect for that. With her there, the company can save a lot of trouble.”
After she said this, she signaled the young woman to say something.
140 Chapter 140: Your Luck in Love is Pretty Good
The young woman shyly stood up and, like a little rabbit, timidly walked up to Caleb Mamet: “Hello, Brother Caleb…”
Xaviera Evans raised her eyebrows, “Well, well, well, they’re giving Caleb women in front of his legitimate wife? How much do these people ignore her?”
Mrs. Mamet excitedly ran over to introduce her: “Caleb, our Yvette Flack is a bit introverted and shy, unlike some bold and promiscuous women. She is innocent and kind–hearted. So after she joins the company, you’ll have to take good care of her, so she won’t get bullied.”
After that, she warned Xaviera Evans with a glance: “And some people… Caleb, you’d better watch out for them too, so that they don’t hurt Yvette out of jealousy and tarnish the Mamet family’s reputation.”
Yvette Flack tugged at the noblewoman’s sleeve and whispered: “Don’t worry, I won’t be bullied.” After that,
140 Chapter 140: Your Luck in Love is Pretty Good
she quickly glanced at Caleb: “I’ll also follow Brother Caleb closely, help him grow the company stronger and lift the burden off his current tired shoulders.”
“Good, good, our Yvette Flack is so obedient, you better go pack up your stuff, and leave with them when Caleb does.” The noblewoman patted her hand
with satisfaction.
Seeing that they had already made up their minds and even ridiculed her sarcastically, Xaviera couldn’t help. but speak up: “Going back with Caleb? Going back where? Are you sure you’re giving him a secretary instead of a bed–warming slave?”
Yvette Flack stared at Xaviera in disbelief, her apricot eyes welling up with tears, biting her l*ps in grievance: “What do you mean, Miss Evans? Are you insulting
me?”
The noblewoman didn’t expect Xaviera to suddenly speak up, and even say such harsh words. Her face suddenly darkened: “Xaviera Evans, you better mind your own business. When did you ever have a say in the Mamet family’s internal affairs?”
Xaviera Evans widened her eyes in surprise: “How
240 Chapter 140 Your Luck in Love is Pretty Good
come I can’t have a say in the Mamet family’s internal affairs? Aren’t I Caleb’s wife? And I’m also curious about your behavior. You keep saying Miss Yvette Flack is going to the company to be a secretary, then let her go to the company to report, why does she need to come back with us?”
“This kind of behavior reminds me of some bad things, like a certain lady taking Miss Coriell from the Coriell family to Lowen Clubhouse, trying to force Miss Coriell into Caleb’s master bedroom, isn’t this giving Caleb a woman right in front of me? I don’t want my man to be stained by other women, what’s wrong with speaking out?”
“You!”
The noblewoman, suppressing her anger, gritted her teeth: “It’s no wonder you come from a humble background, you’re so dirty–minded. Yvette Flack is Caleb’s personal female secretary, responsible for his clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. Of course she has to go home with Caleb.”
At this point, Yvette Flack, with tears in her eyes, spoke up: “Miss Evans, don’t worry, I won’t argue with
a: 140 Chapter 140: Your Lück in Love is Pretty Good
you for anything. I’m just Brother Caleb’s personal secretary. I heard that Brother Caleb often skips meals, and I want to take good care of him. If one doesn’t eat on time, how can they bear the burden on their b*dy?”
Ah, what a classic line from a mistress.
The noblewoman mocked by the side: “Yvette Flack, you don’t need to say much to her. People like Miss Evans, with narrow vision, see things differently from us, only revolving around men like st* pid women. It’s no surprise if Caleb abandons someone like Miss Evans someday.”
“Yvette Flack, rest assured, just boldly do what you want to do. If one day Caleb takes a fancy to you, it’s normal since we are so outstanding, right? You’re not the kind of rude woman who can compare with them.”
Yvette Flack shyly lowered her head.
Although she didn’t speak, her expression told that she was looking forward to being favored by Caleb.
Xaviera: “…
These people were really amazing, clearly arranging
140 Chapter 140: Your Luck in Love is Pretty Good
everything for her, and even finding an excuse for
Caleb’s future affairs.
“What a lucky guy,” Xaviera teased Caleb.
One Vita Coriell wasn’t enough, and now there was a Yvette Flack.
Caleb grabbed Xaviera’s restless hand, then turned to look at Yvette Flack: “You want to be my secretary?”
Yvette Flack’s heart thumped, gripping her clothes nervously: “Yes, Brother Caleb, I’ve admired you for a long time. I really, really look up to you. As long as you agree to let me be your personal secretary, I’m willing to do anything.”
Caleb nodded his head. Before Yvette Flack could get excited, she heard Caleb speak indifferently: “It’s demanding to be my secretary. Why don’t you start by answering a few questions for me.”
