Chapter 256: Chapter 256: The Family Commandment Token Appears in the World
Translator: 549690339
While Xaviera was murmuring in her heart, Caleb Mamet suddenly coughed.
Page Uland knew that Caleb must have heard something, and Xaviera didn’t know about this secret; she didn’t know what nonsense she was thinking at the moment.
He looked up at Caleb and found that Caleb was also looking at him, and then the two turned their faces away at the same time.
Xaviera suddenly spoke, “Master Uland, you seemed to have something to say to me just now. What is it that I don’t know about?”
Page Uland hesitated for a moment. He wanted to tell Xaviera that saving people with her blood had side effects, and the other party could hear her inner thoughts.
But now…
Page Uland frowned.
It seemed that Caleb quite enjoyed this feeling. If he talked about it now, wouldn’t it ruin the fun between the couple?
So he cleared his throat and said, “I can’t remember.”
Xaviera sighed, “Ah, getting older, my memory is not as good as before.”
Page Uland: “…”
Little rascal!
As Page Uland was leaving, he whispered: “Xaviera, this is not on the mountain, you should restrain yourself a little when you are outside, don’t…” Don’t always mutter in your heart, there’s no need to pretend to be weak with a double-faced attitude.
But before he could finish, Xaviera looked puzzled and said, “What am I repressing? Caleb is very good to me!”
Page Uland: “…”You didn’t understand my meaning at all!
He looked meaningfully at Caleb, wanting to say something more, but then he saw a seemingly ordinary necklace hanging around Xaviera’s neck, and his whole body trembled.
With a shocked look on his face, Page Uland looked up: “Mr. Caleb Mamet, did you give her this?”
Caleb Mamet looked indifferent, “It’s a small gift I gave her.”
Xaviera nodded: “Yeah, Master Uland, what’s so strange about it?”
It was just a necklace, and compared to the other gifts Caleb had given her, this was relatively cheap. However, the inside of the necklace was empty, and it could hold a few silver needles, which could be used as a hidden weapon when necessary.
Page Uland: “!!” This necklace is the family commandment token of the Mamet family! How could Xaviera not know?
Page Uland had heard of the family commandment token before, which was something that only the hostess of the Mamet family could have, and it had the power to command everyone in the Mamet family.
The Mamet family’s property was co-owned by the family head and the wife who held the family commandment token. With the token, Xaviera would own half of the family wealth.
However, it was said that the family commandment token had been lost, and no hostess had held it for the past hundred years.
Page Uland thought that the Mamet family had long abolished the family commandment token. Who would have thought that Caleb would actually give it to Xaviera?
The key point was … she didn’t even know!
Page Uland was speechless, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, this may not be appropriate.”
With Xaviera holding the family commandment token, those with ulterior motives would definitely try their best to deal with her.
Caleb appeared calm, “There’s nothing inappropriate.”
As Page Uland was about to argue, Caleb suddenly said earnestly, “Since I gave it to her, it means I can protect her.”
She is indeed the most qualified person to hold the family commandment token.
Page Uland took a deep breath, waved his hand for Xaviera to step aside, then lowered his voice and asked, “Mr. Caleb, Xaviera has a stubborn nature, having grown up in the mountains and dislikes restrictions. Even the family commandment token and the blood pact cannot control her.”
Caleb understood Page Uland’s feelings, so he promised: “Mr. Uland, I don’t want to control her. I think she deserves to hold the family commandment token, and I have the ability to protect her without any worries. As for the blood pact… ”
Page Uland thought Caleb would promise not to hurt Xaviera because of her blood.
But Caleb became serious, “I won’t drink her blood anymore, and I won’t let her get hurt.”
It was because he had lost consciousness due to the poison outbreak that time that Xaviera had given her own blood to save him.
If his poison remained unsolved, he would have to keep drinking Xaviera’s blood, which might cause irreversible damage to her.
Caleb couldn’t bear to see her taking risks.
Page Uland’s heart trembled, he sighed and said, “Alright, take Xaviera home.”
The man Xaviera liked was indeed not bad; after all, they had known each other for ten years.. He had courage and a sense of responsibility— a good man!
