Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Stopping Caleb Mamet from Entering the Cemetery Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Stopping Caleb Mamet from Entering the Cemetery Xaviera Evans turned around confidently, only to stiffen at the sight of the upright man. It took her quite a while to summon a restrained, awkward smile.
Caleb Mamet’s expression was mild. Those deep eyes met Xaviera’s shocked gaze, and he looked at her, neither smiling nor frowning, silent.
The surroundings were scary quiet, leaving Xaviera with a sense of hopeless despair.
The middle-aged woman and her son backed off cautiously. They knew very well how ruthless Caleb was, hence they only dared to badmouth him behind his back. If Caleb had heard what they just said, they knew they would meet a gruesome end.
From the very moment Caleb showed up, they were frightened to the bone, feeling as if someone was choking them, they couldn’t say a single word.
“Take them away,” ordered Caleb. Immediately, a few strong bodyguards appeared and dragged the limp duo away, leaving only Xaviera and Caleb.
Caleb turned back around, still staring intently at Xaviera. With a teasing grin, he said, “Was Mrs. Mamet pretending to be a ghost to scare them just now?”
Xaviera’s lips twitched slightly.
It’s over. Her facade was gone.
Xaviera followed Caleb back to Caleb Manor. Once they stepped inside, Caleb casually said, “Turns out, Mrs. Mamet cares so much about me. You knew they were bad-mouthing me behind my back and stepped up for me. You despise them that much?”
Xaviera nodded. Of course, she despised them for targeting Caleb who was clearly outstanding and innocent; yet subjected to malicious rumors and slanders.
After a silence, Caleb gently said, “The ones Mrs. Mamet despises, will never appear before you again.”
That evening, Xaviera received news of a bombshell- Caleb’s Uncle Drew and his family had unexpectedly left a day before the ancestor grave visiting. Boyd Drew made an excuse to everyone: Caleb’s aunt had fallen suddenly ill, hence the family had to leave early.
Meanwhile, inside the Drew Main Manor.
Vivian Drew furiously smashed her hand on the desk, hollering, “They actually left? This is how he repays us for making him the CEO? That bastard is still living in Caleb Manor, and he just sneaks away like a coward. Useless!”
“They’ve already left, what’s the point in getting angry now?” Boyd Drew cut in impatiently, speaking flippantly, “They are just a group of insignificant people, they don’t matter to us. Let them leave, the main focus now is how to deal with Caleb Mamet.”
Vivian Drew’s anger gradually subsided, she whispered, “Boyd, can we really prevent Caleb from entering the cemetery tomorrow?”
The Drew family’s ancestor grave visiting lasted two days, the first day everyone offered incense outside the cemetery, a group ritual. The next day, only the main family was allowed in the cemetery for worship. The offshoot family members did not qualify to enter.
Caleb, being Winni Drew’s son, should be participating in both days of the ritual. But Boyd would definitely not stand by and let Caleb complete the ritual smoothly.
Boyd chuckled darkly, “Rumors are already surfacing that Sir Drew’s unconsciousness is due to poison from Caleb. I don’t care if it’s true or false, I’m going to make it a reality!”
Vivian Drew furrowed her brows, “But…”
“Aunt, we must go all out, we cannot let Caleb return to the Drew family under any circumstances!”
Boyd looked out the window in the direction of Caleb Manor. As long as Sir Drew remained unconscious, Caleb would be burdened with the blame.
Meanwhile, Xaviera wasn’t idle either. She knew Boyd would prevent Caleb from attending the ritual, accusing Caleb of poisoning Sir Drew and causing his unconscious state.
There had been rumors long ago that Caleb made Sir Drew ill out of anger. Now, rumors were spreading that Sir Drew had been poisoned; hence, people naturally suspected Caleb of poisoning Sir Drew.
Boyd had this all planned out, Sir Drew’s unconsciousness would be completely blamed on Caleb. Once the ritual began, he would unite with the Drew family and ask Caleb to leave. After all, he was the perpetrator against their grandfather. How could someone like that enter the cemetery?
But what if Sir Drew suddenly woke up at that moment? Then, Boyd would lose his excuse, and people may even suspect Sir Drew was pretending to be ill. Therefore, Xaviera needed to wake Sir Drew up.
Sir Drew was currently lying in his room, the door tightly shut, with bodyguards standing watch around him. Even if Sir woke up, they would not know. Therefore, it was integral someone witness it firsthand to discredit all rumors.
As for who would witness Sir Drew’s awakening, Xaviera already had someone in mind.
