Chapter 517: Chapter 517: The Sorrow of Yearning
The servant thought that, years ago, Miss Drew had completely severed contact with the elderly lady. Originally, they thought the elderly lady didnât want to see her daughter again, but they are, after all, flesh and blood. How could she ever let go?
Upon learning that Miss Drewâs biological daughter had gone missing, the elderly lady was always hoping to find her own great-granddaughter. Now that she has finally been found, how could she not go to meet her?

The Campbell Residence in Libanan.
Anna Campbell sat on the sofa, tear stains all over her face and trembling. Mr. Campbell pointed at her and yelled: âYou idiot! It was one thing for your brother to stand up for you, but why didnât you tell him in advance that Caleb Mamet was in the car? By plotting to kill Caleb Mamet, youâre trying to destroy the Campbell family!â
Mrs. Campbell quickly defended Anna, âStop yelling, what does this have to do with Anna? It wasnât Anna who asked Adrian to do this. It was Adrian who wanted to stand up for his sister and hired people. If we were to blame anyone, it would be Xaviera Evans. If it werenât for her causing trouble, how could things have become such a mess, and how could Adrian have been arrested?â
âAdrian has been obedient for over twenty years and never caused any troubles until he encountered Evans, itâs all her fault!â
Xaviera Evans sat in front of a table in the bedroom, a computer before her. The screen showed the surveillance footage of downstairs. Listening to their conversation, she couldnât help but let out a cold laugh.
Caleb hooked his lips: âMrs. Mamet, this is a bit improper.â
Xaviera Evans raised an eyebrow, âWho told them to harbor ill will? What I did was to protect myself. After all, the Campbell family has a criminal who hired a hitman, even though they didnât succeed in hurting me, Iâm still terrified. Is there any problem with installing a pinhole camera to prevent any risks?â
The man took a few steps closer, with a slight smile: âMrs. Mamet, do you want me to forgive the Campbell family?â
Xaviera gave a sly smile.
at the understanding, Caleb casually said: âThey will soon be begging me. To retaliate for Mrs. Mamet, of course, I wonât easily let it go.â
Xavieraâs lips curled up, she lowered her head bashfully.
Calebâs heart suddenly warmed. Mrs. Mamet always acted like a young lady, becoming all flustered from him doing her a little favor.

Xaviera lifted her eyes, arrogantly turned up her head, âYou donât think that would be enough to move me? Even without you, there are many people who would stand up for me. I donât need you. I truly am charming, everyone loves me so much. It canât be helped, being too outstanding is a fault.â
Caleb: ââŠâ
Man was silent for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, and finally sighed helplessly: âIâm letting Steve Price stay here to protect you.â
Xaviera pretended to be reluctant: âCaleb, I will miss you!â
Caleb looked down at her, her eyes full of smiles, and couldnât help but smile gently, âOkay, I will miss you too.â freewebnÏvel.cĂžm
Xaviera Evans waved at him, just as she was about to leave, Caleb grasped her into his arms, startling her with a gasp.
She blushed, âWhat are you doing? I said I would miss you, itâs our first time living separately after marriage. If you miss me too much, Caleb, why donât we⊠â
âMrs. Mamet, I will go first, you can call me.â
Xaviera choked up instant: âHow can a phone call make up for your longing for me? Without me by your side, every day must be like a year to you!â
She gave a sly smile: âOr we could scope the nearby house.â
âI will come again tomorrow.â
Xaviera became stern, staring into Calebâs teasing eyes.
Even if he couldnât hear Xavieraâs inner voice at this moment, he knew what she was thinking. She just wanted him to stay so they could regain their sense of taste.
Caleb saw Xaviera frowning, looking troubled, and he gave a helpless smile, âOkay.â
Xaviera looked up, a little confused, just as she was about to ask what he meant by âokayâ, she felt a warm touch on her lips, âRest well, the Campbell family wonât bother you for now.â
Xaviera quickly took a bite of the apple on the table. The sweet taste was exactly wonderful. She had finally regained her sense of taste.
âCaleb, I donât think so. The Campbell family knows that I was in the same car with you and might come directly to me, asking for me to intercede for Adrian Campbell. Therefore, they will definitely cause trouble.â
