Chapter 695: Chapter 695: The Suffering Prisoners in Hell
“Of course!” Jenny Green said excitedly, “You’re a demon who’s been dormant for more than a decade, what can you do? Ultimately, the Mamet family will belong to Boyd!”
“Boyd Drew? Does he have the intellect to be the family head?” Caleb Mamet said coldly.
Jenny Green choked at his words; her eyes brimming with resentment. Her gaze then landed on Xaviera Evans and a mad laughter ensued, “That’s right, Xaviera doesn’t know that you’re a demon, does she?”
A shadow passed over Caleb Mamet’s profound eyes.
Jenny Green said urgently, “Xaviera! He’s a devil! A filthy soul spawned from darkness! He is the demon imprisoned inside the cage that is Maple House!”
Then she pointed at Caleb and yelled, “You are a devil who fears sunlight, you are only fit to live in darkness. Standing under the sun today, you must be very uncomfortable, aren’t you? Do you feel as though your entire body is burning and about to melt?”
“What would others say if they found out that the legendary Caleb Mamet fears the sunlight and can only eke out a living in the darkness? How can such a person be the head of the Mamet family?”
Killer intent radiated from Caleb.
Jenny Green continued her mockery, “What are you doing out here during the day? Are you hoping to replace Caleb Mamet at the longevity feast? Are you worthy? Don’t tell me you think of yourself as the savior? Are you here to protect Caleb?”
“I was the one who locked Caleb in Maple House, nailed all the doors, and windows shut; not allowing him a shard of sunlight. For three days, I did not give him food or water and forced a demon out of him! Do you still remember how terrifying you were back then? You awoke only to take hold of Caleb’s body, I refuse to believe that you are selfless!”
Caleb’s head throbbed, a dull pain in his forehead.
Perhaps the memories were too painful. Even after having slept for a long time, he still did not want to recall the dark and damp environment in Maple House. The intertwining feelings of hunger and fear, everything around him was disgusting, even the air reeked of putrid decay.
He endured the pain of darkness, starvation, and intermittent beatings, just like a tormented prisoner in hell.
And this woman in front of him watched him coldly, her eyes full of mockery. It seemed that she found his struggles amusing!
Jenny Green was confident that Caleb hated her, but even after he ascended to the position of the family head, he did not settle scores with her. This meant that he dared not, because she was his mother!
She became more and more hysterical, “Xaviera, now that you know he isn’t Caleb, do you still want to be with him? If you are willing to divorce, I will help you!”
“He’s a devil! If you don’t leave him, maybe one day he will kill you, or imprison you in a dark basement, torture you, abuse you! I urge you…”
Slap!
A crisp sound cut off Jenny Green’s words.
Xaviera used all her strength and landed a heavy slap on Jenny Green. Jenny Green’s face turned aside, she lost her balance and fell to the ground, a few drops of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Xaviera was so angry that her heart hurt, and for the first time, she contemplated murder. Did Jenny Green take pride in torturing a defenseless child?
Jenny Green held her aching cheek, looking at Xaviera in disbelief. Had she gone mad? Beating her mother-in-law in the Mamet Old Mansion?
“Dare you hit me? You bitch——Ah!”
The curse midway was swallowed in her throat. Jenny Green’s eyes widened in horror, she felt the air in her lungs thinning, the sensation of choking made her struggle instinctively.
Xaviera’s eyes were cold as she strangled Jenny Green’s neck, exerting more and more force, as though she would break Jenny Green’s neck the next moment.
Jenny Green struggled weakly, her tongue sticking out, her eyes blinking non-stop. Her face transformed from pale white to purple, her body trembling violently.
Xaviera let go out of disgust, warning coldly, “Jenny Green, dare to say another word, and I will send you to a real demon!”
Jenny Green lay on the ground, gasping wildly. After a moment, she finally recovered, her voice hoarse, “Xaviera, it seems you still don’t know who he is! Why are you defending him? He’s not Caleb!”
“The Caleb you loved has disappeared, the man in front of you is a demon! You are really pitiful! Your husband has turned into another person, and you’re still clueless!”
“Mrs. Mamet,” Xaviera raised an eyebrow, “Don’t use your intelligence to try and figure me out. How is it possible that I am clueless about something that even you are aware of?”
Looking down at Jenny Green, she added, “After several months, Mrs. Mamet, do you still remember how it felt when you and Yvette Flack were poisoned?”
