Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Giving You a Love Kiss
Translator: 549690339
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.
“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 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 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 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 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 kiss 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 kiss in return.”
“Forget it.”
Caleb slightly turned his head, kindly avoiding Xaviera’s pursed lips, 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.”
Mutually beneficial? Xaviera looked confused.
Caleb subtly curved his lips, “Mrs. Mamet, you surely didn’t forget…. the promise you made me earlier, right?”
