Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Mrs. Mamet’s Intelligence Fluctuates
Caleb Mamet listened to Xaviera Evans’s words, but didn’t respond immediately, instead, he watched her with a smile.
Xaviera scratched her chin as if she was deep in thought, “You must have done something, right? Like arranging certain people around Boyd Drew to guide him? Otherwise, why would he choose Cold Night, and be sure that Cold Night was dead? Why would he take such risk, when there were so many other painters he could choose from, but he chose a painter with an unreliable factor?”
“Boyd Drew is not a fool, but he insists on using Cold Night’s paintings for the packaging. Caleb, how did you make it happen?”
A gentle smile formed at the corner of Caleb’s lips in response to Xaviera’s guess, which did not surprise him, but in the next second, Xaviera dropped another bomb, “Caleb, that assistant of Boyd Drew is your man, right? Boyd has always trusted him, and the packaging of the perfume this time must be his idea, am I right?”
Steve Price was speechless. That’s right, nothing could escape Mrs. Mamet’s eyes. Now the boss in her eyes turned out to be not only a scumbag but also a cunning and sly scumbag.
Though Boyd Drew does need to be taught a lesson, you shouldn’t have placed a spy by his side so early on. That would scare Mrs. Mamet if she knew that’s the kind of person you are.
Caleb glanced at Steve, then his voice softened, “Kind of, but I didn’t intentionally place a spy by Boyd’s side, I just saved that assistant’s life a few years ago, and he wanted to repay my life-saving favor.”
Steve Price: “…” That sounds good on paper, but why didn’t you refuse his help?
Xaviera looked at Caleb with admiration, her senior fellow was amazing! Just saving a random person turned out to be the enemy’s confidant.
But there was another person besides the assistant, Xaviera lifted her eyes to ask, “But why did Sally’s two perfume designs happen to be jasmine and cloves this time? They matched Cold Night’s paintings perfectly, making Boyd have no choice but to choose Cold Night’s works. But I know Sally couldn’t be your person, why would she help you? Could it be…”
Xaviera’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, “She is in love with you!”
Caleb was a bit surprised, he didn’t expect Xaviera to think this way, he helplessly smiled, “Is Xaviera jealous?”
Xaviera choked, “This woman Sally is even more disgusting than Zara Woods! If you get involved with her, I’ll never speak to you again!”
Caleb really didn’t expect her to think that way, after a moment of silence, he asked softly, “Do you know when those two paintings by Cold Night appeared?”
Xaviera thought for a moment, “It seems to be three years ago.”
At that time, when both paintings first appeared, her grandfather had copied them, but then they got lost, so she remembered them clearly.
After her answer, Caleb patiently explained, “Three years ago, I already knew about the Drew family’s plan. Their only hope was to make a comeback through perfume, so…”
Xaviera was amazed, “No way! Are you saying that Cold Night painted those two paintings three years ago just to set Boyd up? Why would he do that? Why would a loser like Boyd deserve such dedicated work from Cold Night?”
Caleb: “…” How could Mrs. Mamet’s intelligence fluctuate from high to low?
Steve was even more speechless, what happened to the praise he gave her for being smart? How could she still not understand now? Does it have to be said explicitly that the Boss is Cold Night?
It seemed like Caleb was left speechless for a while, and it took a long time before he finally spoke, “Mrs. Mamet, haven’t you figured it out yet?”
Figured out what?
Xaviera looked at him with confusion, what a strange man! How could he say that of Cold Night? After all, Cold Night was a devoted painter, how could he be so cunning?
Paintings from three years ago were all set up to lure Boyd in? That was absolutely impossible!
From Cold Night’s paintings, she knew he must be a kind-hearted, gentle, and cultured man, like a gentle breeze – strong yet gentle. How could such a person meticulously plan for three years just to defeat Boyd?
Xaviera thought that she must have overthought things, maybe it was all just a coincidence. Afterall, Jasmine and cloves are very common in perfumes, nothing rare or precious.
Caleb didn’t explain any further, but just pulled the corner of his mouth, “Xaviera, do you have any more questions?”
“No.” Xaviera replied.
