Maria widened her eyes in disbelief, “I have information on the whereabouts of the miracle doctor Saint Hand! Mortimer, you’ve been looking for him for so long, and now you’re willing to give up this clue for Black Tide?”

No one dared to speak, their gazes drifting among the three.

Caleb Mamet was momentarily stunned, then lifted his deep eyes and sneered, “Miss Maria, when did I say that I rejected you because of Black Tide?”

Everyone gasped.

Caleb Mamet’s expression was indifferent, his voice low and sharp like a sword, “I just find it beneath me to take someone like you as a disciple, and besides, no one can threaten me.”

Maria’s tears fell, and she stumbled back, “You’d rather give up the clue to the miracle doctor Saint Hand than take me as your disciple?”

“I remember rejecting Miss Maria many times, which should have been enough face-saving for you. Even your elder brother wouldn’t dare to bother me. As for the miracle doctor Saint Hand, I’ll ask your brother myself.”

Finishing, Caleb turned to Xaviera Evans and softly asked, “Still want to play cards?”

Xaviera nodded.

Caleb: “I’ll keep you company.”

He ignored Maria and took Xaviera’s hand to sit at the card table. Several card-playing friends followed closely behind.

The members of Star were dumbfounded, watching Maria sobbing and rushing out of the banquet hall.

Everyone treated it as a spectacle that had nothing to do with them, and soon they dispersed too.

At this moment, Dora came to her senses and hesitated, “I suddenly feel… Mortimer seems more like Black Tide’s husband!”

The words sparked gossip among the crowd. “Yeah! I think so too. They’re such a perfect match! And they seem so close! Mortimer’s face is full of tenderness!” freeweɓnovel.cѳm

“No chance! I heard Black Tide’s husband is from an aristocratic family, and it won’t be easy for them to divorce. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suffered all these grievances and still not divorce, right?”

“What a pity! Senior fellow and Xaviera, their strengths and looks, are a perfect match.”

Inside the card room, Caleb Mamet leaned in Xaviera’s ear and chuckled, “Mrs. Mamet, it seems they’re discussing how to make us divorce!”

Xaviera’s body tensed, and she gave an awkward smile, “Don’t be angry, it’s all a misunderstanding. Heh, a misunderstanding! I haven’t had a chance to explain yet, and you came in.”

Caleb Mamet tapped his slender fingers on the table and smiled meaningfully, “Well, how did Mrs. Mamet originally intend to explain? I’d love to hear the details.”

Xaviera threw away the cards in her hand, took a deep breath, and finally got the chance to explain.

“I…”

“Black Tide!” Just then, a group of people walked over, interrupting her.

People smiled knowingly at them, and someone asked with a grin, “Black Tide, who do you think is better for you, your husband or your senior fellow?”

Brothers and sisters, please don’t harm me!

Destroying my heart like this! I’m already in deep water and fire. Why do you need to add fuel to the fire?

Hearing their words, Caleb Mamet hooked the corner of his lips, then turned his head and looked at Xaviera with interest, “Xaviera, I’m curious as well!”

Xaviera was rendered speechless. This question was as fatal as asking whom to save first when two people fell into the water.

Caleb Mamet waited with a smile for her answer.

Xaviera hesitated for a long time, then stuttered, “Both… are good.”

People were not satisfied and continued to ask, “If you hadn’t gotten married yet, who would you choose between them to marry? Your senior fellow or your husband?”

This question was no different, equally as fatal.

Xaviera felt a burning gaze beside her, and if she misspoke, she could be snapped up at any instant.

She glanced at Caleb Mamet’s gloomy smile beside her, her heart filled with an ominous feeling, as if death awaited her the next second.

Under the nervous tension, her mind short-circuited more easily. So before everyone’s expectant eyes, Xaviera suddenly looked up and grinned, “Choosing between my husband and senior fellow…”

Caleb Mamet looked up, and everyone’s eyes fell on her. They suspected Xaviera would most likely choose Mortimer since he was handsome and wealthy, and her husband surely couldn’t compete.

Unexpectedly, she opened her mouth shyly, “Only children make choices; adults want both.”
