216 Chapter 216: Caleb Mamet's Background The hall was so quiet that it was terrifying.
Steve Price’s heart was pounding. Someone had asked the president before, but that person was left out in the cold afterwards.
He never expected that his wife would be so direct and straightforward in her questions! Caleb Mamet sneered and slowly lifted his eyes, looking at her.
“What do you think?” Xaviera Evans was speechless. This bastard was avoiding her question.

Mortimer replied: | am the sas you.
Xaviera: Not only am | homeless, but my mother is also dead.
Mortimer: | am the same.
Xaviera was not sure whether Mortimer meant he was homeless, his mother was also deceased, or both? When Xaviera was homeless and couldn't even afford a meal, it was Mortimer who helped her, sending her money and arranging a place for her to stay.
Throughout the years, they had supported each other, and she was extremely grateful to Mortimer. Now that she knew Caleb was Mortimer, her feelings towards him hadn't changed.
Since young, Caleb had been regarded as an illegitimate child by everyone, despised and cursed by countless people. But she didn’t think Caleb was one.
Their eyes met, both silent.
Steve Price stood aside, anxious and rolling his eyes, unable to help but speak, “Madam, President ...” Before he could finish, the cup in Caleb’s hand suddenly fell to the floor. A painful memory surged in his mind, and a fierce pain attacked him.
Steve Price startled and rushed over, “President, president? Brother! Help the president upstairs quickly!” Xaviera hurried over but was blocked by Sean Price, “Madam, are you so curious if the president is Mrs. Mamet's own child?” Next, Sean Price’s face becserious, and he slowly spoke, “Is there any significance if the president is or isn’t Mrs. Mamet's own child?” Xaviera asked puzzledly, “Why is there no significance? If Caleb isn’t Mrs. Mamet's own child, he’s not illegitimate. Mrs. Mamet...” “If the president isn’t Mrs. Mamet's child, whose child could he be?” Sean Price helplessly said, “Madam, you are very smart, and you should know how difficult it is for the president to prove all this, and how many people’s interests he will offend.” Xaviera furrowed her brows.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmActually, she had long thought that Caleb was not Mrs. Mamet's own child, and he might be Winni Drew’s child If Caleb was not a Mamet family child, Mrs. Mamet only needed to announce his true identity to kick him out. But Mrs. Mamet was so afraid of Caleb, which indicated that it was very likely that Caleb was the child of Winni Drew and Mr. Mamet.
But why didn’t Caleb look for the Drew family? If the Drew family knew...
“I know you want to ask, why doesn’t the president look for the Drew family? Of course, he tried when he was young Sean Price narrated. “The president wanted to save himself and took the paternity test result of himself and Mrs.
Mamet to the Drew family. But at that time, the Drew family patriarch was critically ill, Miss Drew had passed away, and who in the Drew family would care about him?” ‘Later, they adopted Boyd Drew.” Boyd Drew? The heir of the Drew family, rumored to be Winni Drew’s child.
Xaviera’s nose tingled. “Why didn’t the Drew family do a paternity test? Boyd Drew is not a member of the Drew family, they...” Sean Price helplessly replied, “The Drew family has checked, they are clear about who the president's parents are, but the feud between the two families started the moment Miss Drew died. It won't change because of one member of the Mamet family, and it won't affect the Drew family’s reputation because of the president.” Xaviera gasped.
She finally understood.
Although the Drew family now knew Caleb's identity, he appeared in public as Mrs. Mamet's child and had been in the Mamet family for so long.
If they were to tell everyone now that Caleb was Winni Drew’s biological son, it would be earth-shattering First of all, people would doubt how Winni Drew's child ended up in the hands of a mistress. Was the Drew family too incompetent? A wealthy family like the Drew family would never allow such negative news. So they would rather not acknowledge Caleb and completely sever their relationship with him.
