NovelOnline48 Chapter 48: Let’s Divorce
“Caleb, you know the truth about what happened. It was just Vita being a bit willful, she didn’t really want to run away from the
marriage. This marriage was proposed by Sir Mamet, so calling it off now is really unreasonable.”

Xaviera Evans leaned lazily on the sofa. The Coriell family was really interesting.
She and Caleb were already married, and now they showed up with Caleb’s “ex–fiancée“, a family of three, one saying Xaviera
was not good enough for Caleb, one saying Caleb was crazy in love with Vita, and one saying the marriage was arranged by Sir
Mamet. Saying all of this in front of Xaviera, the new wife of Caleb, she was sure that the Coriell family did it on purpose; they
didn’t take her seriously at all.

Caleb took a sip of coffee and spoke slowly, “Mr. Coriell, bigamy is a crime.”
He was already married, so discussing calling off the marriage was not appropriate.
“What’s in the past is in the past. I’m living a good life
now, and we should always look forward.”
The meaning of this sentence was: you brought it upon yourselves, the marriage has been settled, don’t bother him anymore..
Vita’s tears fell again, “Wuu, wuu, wuu, I really made a mistake, I was too willful, I didn’t expect Caleb to let go of my hand so
easily... wuu, wuu, wuu, how can you say that you don’t like me anymore, Caleb? I can’t be as easygoing as you, I still like you
Mrs. Coriell saw her daughter crying so miserably and her eyes turned red as well, “Alright Vita, don’t cry. Caleb will surely give
you an answer. You two grew up together since childhood, how can he not understand your temperament? Mom knows that you
love Caleb more than your own life, but Caleb is already married to Miss Evans, you should let go.”
Xaviera propped her chin up and watched these two drama queens from the Coriell family, their words were full of innuendo; she
felt that even after this short interaction with them, she was already influenced by their thick, greentea–scented speech.
Boris Coriell looked at his crying wife and daughter, and could only say with a pained heart, “Caleb, I really have no choice. Vita
is crying every day, and Sir Mamet loved our Vita so much. Is this marriage agreement really going to be ruined? I know bigamy
is against the law, and we have no intention of forcing you to
divorce Miss Evans. But you haven’t told Sir Mamet about your marriage with Miss Evans, have you? Once Sir Mamet finds out
that you got married so impulsively, he will surely be very angry. Caleb, Mr. Coriell says this for your own good.”

Now Xaviera truly witnessed the art of conversation. They said Vita was crying every day, and that the marriage was proposed
by Sir Mamet; if Caleb didn’t marry Vita, Sir Mamet might not agree. Then they said they weren’t forcing a divorce, but every
sentence they said was actually reminding Caleb to divorce.
Indeed, the next sentence Boris Coriell said was, “Caleb, think about it carefully, marriage is not a child’s play. Miss Evans, you
should think about it too, whether you want to spend your prime years with someone who doesn’t love you. If Miss Evans agrees
to a divorce, all the compensation after the marriage will
be borne by the Coriell family, you won’t be wronged.”
The butler stood trembling at the side. If it weren’t for last night’s event, he would have thought Boris
Coriell’s family spoke quite reasonably, but after last night’s incident, he thought that the Coriell family might be in trouble.
He knew very clearly just how protective his young master was of his wife.
As expected...
Bang!
Caleb put the coffee cup heavily on the table and spoke slowly, “Mr. Coriell.” The man’s eyes were indifferent, his face almost
expressionless, “Mr. Coriell, have you forgotten who is in charge of the Mamet family now?”
They thought they could suppress him by mentioning his grandfather? What a dream!
The butler also stepped forward. He was an old servant transferred from the old mansion, and some things were more clear to
him than to any outsider

like Boris Coriell, “Mr. Coriell, our Sir Mamet has never arranged a marriage for the young master. Where did this fiancée story
about Miss Vita come from? It was originally Miss Vita who insisted on marrying the young master. Sir Mamet thought that the
Mamet and Coriell families were old acquaintances, and that the young master and Miss Vita grew up together. Furthermore,
there were no women around the young master, so he thought about matchmaking.”
“But on their scheduled wedding day, Miss Vita left the young master waiting at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau. You said
she was being willful and testing the young master’s affections for her, but what you’ve actually done is trample down the Mamet
family’s and our young master’s dignity. Instead of apologizing for this insult, you’ve come here with arrogance, mentioning all
kinds of irrelevant things in front of the young master and his wife.”
The butler’s words didn’t spare their feelings at all. It was indeed the Coriell family who did wrong; they didn’t apologize and even
belittled the wife in front of the young master, thinking they could bully the Mamet family?
It was the first time that Xaviera knew the usually low–key butler had such a good eloquence. She even wanted to applaud him.
