Chapter 878: Chapter 878: Not to Be Repeated
[Mastermind Rex Swift has been hospitalized due to severe illness and is now in a vegetative state. The other individuals involved in the case have been apprehended, and the members of the Swift family involved in the case may face the death penalty.]
For more than a decade, the Swift family had developed a human trafficking business, establishing a stronghold in Libanan. Their victims were spread throughout the country, and this news was heartbreaking to hear.
Xaviera Evans’s furrowed brow relaxed, “It’s finally over.”
“Yes, it’s all over.”
In the evening, snow fell outside, white and pure, as if to cleanse the sins of the world. Caleb Mamet’s voice was cold, “Xaviera.”
Xaviera looked up, smiling sweetly. The next moment, she heard him say with a serious face, “The Swift family has been arrested, the victims have been found, and now it’s time for me to talk to you.”
Xaviera: “?” What did they have to talk about?
The man’s eyes were deep, like bottomless pools. He bent down, imprisoning Xaviera tightly in his arms. His voice was low and seductive, “Mrs. Mamet, isn’t there anything you want to say to me?”
“Ah? Say…say what?” Xaviera was apprehensive.
Caleb scoffed, “Why is Mrs. Mamet pretending to be confused? You put yourself in danger without telling your husband? If I hadn’t found out, were you going to go to that den of thieves alone?”
His voice was soft and slow, each word a question. If one listened carefully, they could hear the slight tremor in his voice.
Xaviera quickly spoke up, “I had people from Lingo Pavilion to protect me. There was absolutely no possibility of an accident. Besides, even without them, I can protect myself. I know hypnotism!”
“Not even a little bit of danger is allowed!” Caleb hugged her waist tightly, pulling her into his arms. As their positions switched, Xaviera found herself pressed against Caleb, her heart pounding fiercely.

The man lowered his eyes, gazing steadily into hers, “Xaviera, this must not happen again!”
“But Lingo Pavilion has many missions for me to complete. If I’m afraid of danger, who’s going to do them?” Xaviera retorted. She had benefited from the Lingo Pavilion and naturally needed to repay them.
He gently stroked Xaviera’s hair, his voice hoarse and low, “If you must go, I’ll accompany you. I’ll be by your side to protect you, no matter what happens. I’ll allow you to participate in the missions, but you can’t hide anything from me.”
Xaviera looked up, staring blankly at the man before her. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart raced. How could this man be so captivating!
Dense kisses rained down on her lips, urgent and passionate. He held the woman in his arms tightly, as if she were the world’s most precious treasure.
Xaviera was lost in his kiss, her mind reeling. She quickly agreed, “Okay, I won’t hide anything from you again!”
Caleb lowered his gaze, gently kissing her eyes, cheeks, and the corners of her lips, before moving down to her delicate collarbone, leaving faint red marks.
Their bodies pressed tightly together, Caleb’s hands roamed around Xaviera’s waist, causing her to shudder. Suddenly, her phone rang, and Xaviera snapped back to her senses, “Don’t…”
But Caleb ignored her, slapping her soft buttocks with impatient frustration, his voice hoarse, “Focus.”
Xaviera lay on top of him, her hot kisses making the air around them feel thin. She struggled to sit up, but the man pulled her back. She was supposed to be in control, but in Caleb’s arms, she felt powerless, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
As Xaviera was about to speak, the man’s finger touched her lips, gently caressing them. His eyes were filled with burning love and indulgence, his voice low with a hint of amusement, “Mrs. Mamet, why are you so passionate today? It’s not even nighttime yet, and you’re already so impatient?”
Xaviera: “…” Damn! This scoundrel!
“Let go of me, I want to get up!” Xaviera struggled to rise when suddenly, someone barged into the bedroom. Normally, only Sean Price and Steve Price had access to the second-floor bedroom, and they would always knock first. Who was brazen enough to enter without knocking?
Xaviera, already exhausted by Caleb’s actions, was startled by the sound of the door opening. She lost her balance and fell heavily into Caleb’s arms. The two then looked up and locked eyes with the man at the door.
