Xenia paused in her steps.
Had she heard wrong? Was that Xaviera Evans's voice just now? Was she acting coquettishly? She had beaten housekeeper Bronte black and blue, and now she had the nerve to say she was afraid?
Mr. Caleb Mamet, being so smart, must have seen through her long ago. She shouldn't think that a little crying would deceive this man.
Then Xenia heard Caleb's voice, gentle as ever, "Don't be afraid, sweetheart, I'm here to rescue you."
Xenia suddenly felt horrible. She looked at Yigol Mamet in shock and confusion. Was this what love was all about?
Housekeeper Bronte was as shocked as the others. He glared at Xaviera Evans with hatred, "How can this woman even say such things? Just now she was beating me mercilessly, and now she's acting coy towards Caleb."
"Housekeeper Bronte, our Mrs. Mamet has a kind heart. She only wanted you to compensate for the destroyed relics, but you tried to harm her and scared her. Therefore, you must pay the price for this."
