Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: This Person Actually Has Two Faces! Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: This Person Actually Has Two Faces! As Xaviera Evans started to speak, the chillness in the study room disappeared instantly. The overpowering aura engulfing the room also vanished. Steve Price then saw Caleb Mamet, who was grim-faced only seconds before, now tenderly raising his eyes, with a doting smile: “Xaviera, is there anything else?”
Steve Price: “!!” He was like a completely different person from before!
Xaviera seemed to realize something was off in the room. She blinked and asked, “Caleb, your face doesn’t look too good. What happened?”
Steve Price immediately became nervous. When he entered earlier to report work, the CEO had asked him to get lost. Would he now lose his temper on his wife?
Caleb Mamet replied in a gentle tone: “Not really! Just probably a bit tired.”
Through the course of the day, Steve Price had come to realize what kind of person the CEO truly was. This man astonishingly had two sides to him!
Fortunately, he wasn’t like Sean Price. No matter how much astonishment or dissatisfaction he felt, he’d only grumble in his heart, without a trace of it showing on his face. He’d never let the CEO sense his thoughts – that was probably what being a mature man meant!
Xaviera’s sudden return didn’t have any particular reason. Seeing Caleb’s slightly pale face, she gently reminded him, “It’s getting late. Go to bed early. We have to visit the Drew family tomorrow.”
Caleb nodded with a warm smile, mild as water, just like a cheerful young man.
Having said that, Xaviera went back to their room to rest.
Steve Price thought that since his wife had also advised the CEO to rest, perhaps he could leave for the day too. Excited, he blurted: “CEO, now that you’re resting, I will also … ”
“What? I, your employer, am not done yet, and you’re thinking of slacking off?” The warmth in Caleb’s eyes disappeared instantly.
Steve Price’s heart sunk. This man was too gentle to his wife in her presence, but when she wasn’t around, he was like a demon!
He was whining internally, but on the surface, he respectfully replied, “Alright, CEO, I will continue with the work report.”
By the time they finished dealing with the company matters, it was already ten at night. Caleb’s vision was slightly blurry, accompanied by bouts of sharp pain. His eyesight had been worsening lately.
“CEO, since you’re visiting the Drew family tomorrow, would you like me to handle the rumors outside first?” Steve Price asked.
“No need,” Caleb closed his eyes, resting back on his chair.
“But the current rumors out there are quite unfavorable to you. With Mr. Drew always unconscious, many people are suggesting you’re involved. Tomorrow… ”
Caleb, as calm as the wind, interrupted, “They aren’t wrong. Mr. Drew’s unconsciousness is indeed my doing.”
Steve Price: “…” This was indeed the case, so the Drew family couldn’t be blamed for avoiding the CEO, but these kinds of rumors honestly affected the impeccable reputation of the CEO!
He really couldn’t understand what the CEO was thinking!
…
The Drew Mansion.
Everyone gathered in Sir Drew’s room. The atmosphere was gloomy. Sir Drew, who should have been awake by now, was still unconscious.
Sir Drew actually had pretended to be ill just to force Caleb to give up 5% of his shares. With this, he could safeguard his shares and make Caleb suffer an unfilial reputation, thereby disqualifying him from the inheritance dispute.
But who could have predicted that Sir Drew, who initially feigned illness, would genuinely fall ill now?
A few days ago, the family doctor claimed that he would awaken today at the latest. Sir Drew did show signs of recovery, even opening his eyes for a moment, but before he could say a word, he again sank into unconsciousness.
As the head of the family, Sir Drew’s decision about the visiting ancestors’ gravesite ritual was necessary. Whether or not to let Caleb into the cemetery to perform the ritual hadn’t been decided yet.
