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.
