Sullivan At All

But why would Caleb ask such a question? Was he jealous? That wouldn’t make sense, he didn’t even like her… Could it be male possessiveness and pride acting up? Regardless, she was Caleb’s legitimate wife now. Her being all smiles with another man… didn’t seem quite right. Thinking like this, it felt normal that Caleb could be upset.

Now understanding Caleb’s motives, Xaviera hastily displays a tender and amiable smile, “How could that be? I am not at all close to Mr. Sullivan.’

“Not close?”

Caleb chuckles lightly, his attitude somewhat nonchalant, “A few years ago, the Mamet Corporation wanted to collaborate with Lohill, but we were flatly rejected. Do you know why?”

Xaviera didn’t understand how swiftly Caleb changed the subject. Back then, she had refused to cooperate with the Mamet Corporation because she disliked getting involved with major financial groups. Lohill had always had its independence, not to be confined by anything or anyone else. However, precisely due to her refusal, she heard that the Mamet Corporation had suffered considerable losses, marking the first failure of Caleb’s tenure as the family head of the Mamet family.

Of course, this was not to say that Lohill was powerful; if it came down to it, Caleb could obliterate Lohill with just a flick of his fingers.

Xaviera felt rather sheepish, swallowing her saliva, “Would you believe if I said I had no choice back then?” Additionally, hadn’t she compensated Caleb already? She had given this quarter’s collaboration to the Mamet Corporation.

“Albert Sullivan is the third brother of Lohill. Now that your true identity with Lohill is revealed, are you still trying to convince me that you’re not familiar with Albert? Do you think I’m easy to fool or you can’t be bothered even to fool

Xaviera: ‘

She felt a chill run down her spine, a cold breeze seemed to circulate — Damn! How could she forget Caleb knew Albert, calling him by name!

Xaviera’s expression changed over and over. A few years ago, she and Caleb had briefly met. Back then, she only saw his back, and since she had already refused to cooperate with the Mamet Corporation, she did not approach him.

So many years had elapsed, the Mamet Corporation had since become a unique presence in the fashion world. Xaviera thought Caleb would have long forgotten about it. Surprisingly, because of her refusal to cooperate back then, he held a grudge for this long!

Caleb casually toyed with her hand in his palm, “Great designer, after so many years, your temper hasn’t changed a bit. Didn’t you visit the Coriell family purely out of goodwill? Were you seeking revenge?”

Despite his question-like sentence, the affirmative tone indicated he was pretty confident about Xaviera’s purpose of visiting the Coriell family.

Xaviera was instantly on guard, “That’s nonsense, I didn’t, I only went to the Coriell’s because I was invited, and besides, when I attended the Coriell banquet, it was with your approval.”

Caleb watched her wary eyes and chuckled, ‘Why did I approve? Because your face read, ‘I want revenge, I want to restore my reputation’.”

Xaviera: ‘

She had been wondering why Caleb had stared at her for so long! Could he read minds? He knew everything she was thinking.

So what if I take a little revenge? Moreover, they even plagiarized my dress. Isn’t it normal for a designer to protect her works?”

Caleb gently massaged her head with a soothing expression, “Crossing the Coriells right now isn’t exactly a smart move.”

Xaviera swatted his hand away, sneering. Cross? She never feared to cross anyone! More to the point, the Coriells targeted her because of this dog of a

man in front of her. Now he was conveniently pushing all the blame onto her, painting her as the troublemaker.

“I was just defending my design and refusing plagiarism. What’s wrong with that?”

“Xaviera, I’m not messing with you, so you don’t have to get mad at me. You can let Albert deal with this Coriell mess. But you can’t personally get involved.’

Her public identity now is Xaviera Evans, the eldest daughter of the Evans family returning from the countryside. If she were to openly admit being designer Lohill or the top hacker Black Tide, or even openly confirm that she’s Mrs. Mamet, she could easily crush the Coriells.

But she’s not willing to reveal any of these identities. Therefore, in everyone’s eyes, Xaviera is just a forsaken daughter from the Evans family, someone anyone could easily step on. While he could solve these issues, it’s hard to guard against certain individuals; he feared any moment of negligence could lead to Xaviera getting hurt.

Xaviera: ‘
