Chapter 624: Chapter 624: I Won’t Allow You To Get Hurt
Caleb Mamet had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xaviera Evans falling backward without hesitation, his eyes were filled with cold ruthlessness, and his anger intensified.
Although he knew that everything had been set up by Xaviera, seeing Anna Campbell slapping Xaviera’s face still made him unable to control his inner rage.
Without raising his eyes, Caleb emanated a cold murderous aura, and said lightly, “Get lost!”
Anna’s heart trembled, and she retreated in fear a few steps.
[Ah! Thank goodness Miss Evans didn’t fall!]
[It’s raining outside, and Miss Evans is still seriously ill. If she had really fallen, her condition would have definitely worsened! Anna is too cruel! She made a mistake, but still dares to attack others?]
[I’ve had enough of her, who can still like this kind of celebrity? It’s fine to take someone else’s identity, after all, that’s not entirely her fault, but it’s her fault for threatening others and even daring to hit Miss Evans in public. If she had been injured, Anna would be legally responsible!]
[Wow! The man holding Miss Evans is so handsome! Who is he?! More handsome than any male celebrity! Especially that hug just now, it was so affectionate and tender, yet showing off his authority when facing Anna.]
Anna’s fingers trembled, unable to turn off the live broadcast, so Nidya rushed over and smashed the phone to the ground.
However, it was too late by then. Everyone had already seen what they were supposed to see, and knew what had happened.
Seeing the right moment, Xaviera didn’t bother to talk to Anna and directly leaned into Caleb’s arms. She winked at him and gave a sly smile.
At the entrance of the Xaviera Courtyard, Anna’s eyes were red with fury, her fingers trembling as she pointed at Xaviera, “You… you set me up!”
“Stop making a scene, enough already!”
Not knowing when, a group of Julian Mountain Villa staff members had gathered at the entrance of the courtyard. They all looked at Anna with disdain.
“Mrs. Mamet was resting in the courtyard. When she heard Anna had arrived, she rushed out to meet her without even putting on a coat. She’s already sick and caught in the rain, but this vicious woman still dared to knock Mrs. Mamet unconscious! What a vicious heart!”
“Get out of here! You’re not welcome at Julian Mountain Villa!”
At that moment, several strong men came forward, pushing and shoving Anna and Nidya. They had been soaked in the rain and had no strength to resist. They could only leave Julian Mountain Villa in humiliation.
Nidya was terrified. They originally came to apologize, but somehow, things had escalated to this point, with Anna even slapping Xaviera. Would she ever forgive them?
At that moment, the phone rang.
After answering, Jeremy Campbell’s furious roar came through, “Look what you’ve done! I told you to apologize, who told you to broadcast it live?! Anna even slapped Xaviera, are you out of your minds? Get back here immediately!”
Nidya’s head buzzed, and she collapsed on the ground, covered in mud and looking utterly miserable.
…
Inside the Xaviera Courtyard, Caleb carried Xaviera into the bedroom, then gently coughed twice: “Mrs. Mamet, wake up.”
Xaviera opened her eyes tentatively, glanced around, and gave an embarrassed smile.
She picked up a makeup remover wipe and removed the makeup from her face. Her pale, sickly face instantly returned to normal.
Caleb stood behind Xaviera, wrapping his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, encircling her in his embrace, and whispered: “Mrs. Mamet trusts me so much that she fell backward without any hesitation?”
Xaviera said indifferently: “Not really. Even if you hadn’t shown up, there were two maids beside me. If they couldn’t catch me, I would have fallen on the ground. However, I’ve calculated the angle. As long as I fall to the right, I’ll land on the grass, and at most, I’ll be slightly injured.”
Caleb’s eyes were bloodshot, his hands gradually tightening around her waist, breathing heavily in her ear, “Xaviera, I won’t let you get hurt, not even slightly.”
Xaviera felt a hot breath enveloping her ear, and her body shuddered.
Looking through the mirror at the man’s reddened eyes, she furrowed her brows. Had Caleb been poisoned again?
