NovelOnline68 Chapter 68: The Invitation from
the Coriell Family
Inside the villa, Caleb Mamet glanced away slightly:
“Mrs. Mamet doesn’t have any questions?”
Xaviera Evans was taken aback: “...What do you
me to ask?”
want
Caleb smirked, full of sarcasm: “Aren’t you interested in the fact that the head of the Mamet family is an illegitimate child?”
Xaviera: “??”
Why would she be interested?
Every family has its difficulties, and she had her hands full dealing with her own family’s problems; she had no time to be
interested in other people’s grievances or hatreds. Besides... What could one’s background represent? Who would want to be
born an illegitimate child? If infants had a choice, they would rather be born into a poor family than be an illegitimate child who
couldn’t see the light of day, especially one from a rich and wealthy family.

Xaviera had heard some stories about Caleb’s
childhood from the housekeeper and knew that Mrs. Mamet often abused him when he was little, not giving him food or drink,
and often putting him in solitary confinement. Xaviera thought that behind every successful person lies bitterness; very few
people have a smooth life from the very beginning.
better off than Caleb because she had Uncle Evans, who sincerely cared for her and made her childhood less miserable. But
Caleb was entirely on his own; it was said that he even had a younger brother. They were born from the same mother, but their
treatments
were worlds apart.
Mrs. Mamet doted on her younger son, giving him everything he wanted, and even sought to wrest control of the Mamet family
from Caleb and pass it on
to her younger son.
When she first heard these stories, Xaviera wondered if Caleb was truly Mrs. Mamet’s biological child. She pondered whether
there was a dramatic twist, like a plot where an imposter prince takes the place of the real one. Otherwise, why would a mother
treat her

children so differently?
Caleb leaned against the recently tidied sofa and cast
her a casual look.
It was at this moment when the housekeeper returned after seeing off the guests: “Mr. Mamet, the lady said she came today to
tell you that the Coriell family is hosting a banquet at Mifo Hotel. Sir Coriell’s intention is to have you in attendance...”
Sir Coriell.
Xaviera caught the keyword, and Caleb’s cherry blossom eyes narrowed as well. If the invitation came from anyone else in the
Coriell family, he could simply ignore it. But he couldn’t do that for Sir Coriell, who had once helped the Mamet family. It was
reasonable for him to accept the invitation.
the Coriell family.
The housekeeper continued when he saw that Caleb didn’t say anything, and his face did not show much resentment: “The
reason the Coriell family is having a banquet is because they have acquired one of Lohill’s designed dresses. This dress is a

from the fashion industry. They are most likely looking to break into the high–end luxury dress market.”
Xaviera stiffened when she heard the name “Lohill.“,
Her designed dress was in the possession of the Coriell family? How did it get there? She didn’t have many global limited–
edition designs in her collection, but her favorite was ‘Fleeting Time.’
Before Xaviera could finish her thought, the housekeeper continued: “The dress is Lohill’s design, ‘Fleeting Time. There are very
few design drafts by Lohill in circulation, and even fewer finished products. When ‘Fleeting Time‘ first appeared, countless people
fought for it, but then it suddenly fell silent. People speculated at the time that it had been bought at a high price, but they didn’t
expect the buyer to be the Coriell family.”

It seems that although the Coriell family has declined in recent years, their solid foundation remains.
Xaviera: “.”.

nodded without hesitation.
Caleb chuckled lightly: “You’re such a naughty kid.”
As soon as he heard Xaviera’s tone, he knew she was thinking of something, and he guessed there must be something wrong
with the Coriell family’s ‘Fleeting Time‘. But he didn’t really care about that, the people from the Coriell family had been bouncing
around in front of him lately, teaching them a little lesson was
not too much to ask for.
