Rumor had it that Xaviera Evans had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Evans family to toss Xaviera Evans back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. 
Xaviera Evans: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” 
She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. 
Xaviera Evans: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” 
The Evans family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… 
Scumbag guy: "Without the Evans family, you're nothing." 
Xaviera Evans: "If I'm kicked out of the Evans family, I'll be done for." 
Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.”
Xaviera Evans: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." 
The scumbag guy and girl: "???" 
Rumor had it that the Mamet family's youngest son, Caleb Mamet, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. 
Xaviera Evans: "Is someone looking down on me?" 
One day, Xaviera Evans saw one of Caleb Mamet's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. 
Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! 
Caleb Mamet inched closer with every step. "Xaviera, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" 
Xaviera Evans: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"

Caleb Mamet nodded in satisfaction, his knit brows relaxed, speaking in a domineering tone, "So how should you show that you're happy?"


She looked puzzled, trying to test the waters, "Thank you?"


Previously, Steve Price had told him that a woman usually expresses gratitude to her lover by a kiss. Mrs. Mamet would certainly offer an excited kiss, at which point he should be somewhat reserved.


Xaviera thought for a moment, her voice slightly trembling, "Then, then I kiss you?"


—'Something seems off with Caleb. Did Steve corrupt him? What's he thinking?'—


Hearing Xaviera's inner thoughts, Caleb's brow furrowed instantly.


She seemed to dislike the bad idea Steve had given him.


Immediately after, another thought came to her—


—'What is he even thinking? He doesn't really expect me to kiss him, right? When did my senior fellow become so flirty?'—
