Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Soul Torture

Steve Price raised an eyebrow, “Miss Wendleton has bad hearing, so let me say it again, you and your dog… are not allowed inside!”

Upon hearing this, Sara Wendleton unbelievably stepped back, her face ashen. She hadn’t heard clearly just now, but Steve Price’s words lingered in her ears, not giving her room to misunderstand.

Caleb Mamet’s eyes darkened, falling on the grey-blue trench coat, “Pack it up.”

He then led Xaviera Evans away, holding her hand. Xaviera smiled at the man in front of her, suddenly feeling a warmth and coolness in her hand.

Xaviera looked down and saw Caleb slip a transparent, warm jade into her hand. Although she didn’t know much about jade, she knew that this piece must be valuable, as it seemed to have been seen at an auction before.

Moreover, someone paid one hundred million dollars for this warm jade at that time.

“This jade?”

“It’s for you.”

Caleb held her hand, his face full of tenderness, “In a few days, I’ll have this jade polished and made into a pendant for you to wear.”

Xaviera was stunned for a few seconds and said helplessly, “This jade is worth a fortune, it’s better to keep it for collection. Wearing it on my neck every day will be too conspicuous, won’t it?”

Caleb raised an eyebrow, “Conspicuous?”

Xaviera nodded her head, was that wrong?

Caleb proudly said, “We have four similar warm jade pieces at home. This one can be used as a pendant, while you can keep the rest for collection, or make them into rings and earrings. You don’t have to worry about being conspicuous, as you are Mrs. Mamet, and no one will gossip about it.”

“… ?” A few years ago, this warm jade had a sky-high price of one hundred million dollars, and such a jade was rare to see in a decade. And Caleb said there are more at home?

Xaviera was momentarily confused, thinking that she seemed to have underestimated Caleb’s wealth. It was even more powerful than she had imagined.

Caleb’s voice was low, “Do you know the name of this jade?”

Xaviera shook her head, and he slowly said, “This jade is shaped like a heart, and its color is pure and clear, like the heart of a pure maiden. So, the discoverer of this jade named it ‘Maiden’s Heart.’”

Caleb paused for a few seconds, his voice hoarse with deep emotion, “Ten years ago, I saw this jade at the auction. I liked it at first sight and bought it.”

Ten years ago?

At that time, she was driven out of the Evans family, drifting to the countryside, where she met her senior fellow.

Caleb’s eyes shone, “When I bought this jade, I thought to myself that one day, I would give it to the woman I love the most. If I couldn’t find that person, I would give it to Xaviera. And now, Xaviera and the one I love the most are the same person, so this jade is destined to be yours.”

Xaviera was moved, her eyes slightly red.

So, as early as ten years ago, Caleb wanted to give her this precious gift, a warm jade worth one hundred million dollars!

She held the jade tightly in her hand as if it were a treasure, and with her other hand, she wrapped her arms around Caleb’s waist, snuggling affectionately against him.

For a moment, Xaviera didn’t know what to say to express her gratitude. As time passed, and Caleb waited for her to speak, but just as he was about to ask her a question, she suddenly blurted out her soul-searching question.

“You said I’m the person you love the most, but why is it only today that you give me this jade? Does that mean the person you loved the most wasn’t me before?”

Caleb: “…”

The touching atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Steve Price was shocked and thought, President Mamet is finished!

“Let’s go, I’ll take you shopping.”

…

Meanwhile, at the Jewelry House in Libanan city center.

As the name suggests, this shop, named Jewelry House, sells various jade objects and also designs custom jade pieces for wealthy clientele.

The antique-style courtyard, the garden with small bridges and flowing water, looked like a scene from ancient times, resembling an ancient wealthy family’s residence from TV dramas. No one could tell it was a jade store from the outside.

Anna Campbell and a group of friends entered the door at this moment, seeing Sara Wendleton angrily walking over and softly asking, “Sara, what’s wrong?”

Sara’s face was full of anger, “Cousin, it’s that adopted daughter of your family, she’s so arrogant!”

Anna Campbell’s eyes flashed with sinister intention, then made a feigned expression of surprise, “You mean, Xaviera? She bullied you?”

“That bitch, spending the Campbell family’s money and daring to fight with me for things. Cousin, she even ordered people not to let me enter that store. She’s just an adopted daughter yet dares to bully me!”
