Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Treating Her Like a Guinea Pig
Xaviera Evans was dumbfounded when she found out. If all Nidya Hughes’s actions had to be imitated to be completed, then after the object of imitation disappeared, her true nature would be exposed, becoming the vicious and cruel person she is now.
At this moment, Xaviera’s mind was chaotic, and she really wanted to know where the real Nidya Hughes had gone. Was she dead or had she escaped?
Caleb Mamet gently stroked her hair to change the subject, “Actually, when Madam Hughes was young, she was somewhat similar to Mrs. Russell.”
Xaviera glanced up and casually flipped through several photos of Cory Hughes and Madam Hughes. Indeed, she resembled her grandmother. She scoffed, “How ridiculous. The original wife gave birth to children and helped him manage the company, yet he fell in love with a woman who looks similar to his original wife.”
Cory Hughes found a perfect excuse for his infidelity; he fell in love with Madam Hughes simply because she looked like Letitia Russell. Therefore, he was not a scumbag, just someone who had been too lonely for the years spent away from home.
Xaviera thought that if she were her grandmother, she would definitely despise Cory Hughes even more. She guessed that this was how Cory Hughes had explained it to her grandmother initially, which was why her grandmother divorced him without hesitation and completely severed ties with the Hughes family.
Unable to find any useful clues, the two returned to their guest room. Xaviera leaned into Caleb’s embrace and quietly asked, “Caleb, do you know why the Hughes family forcibly kept me here?”
“I don’t know.” Caleb Mamet answered indifferently.
“They poisoned me.”
Actually, Caleb had already known about the Hughes family’s plan when he hid outside the door, but hearing it from Xaviera herself, he still couldn’t suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
“Not only did they poison me, but they also fed me an antidote. Since they’re not sure if the antidote works, they made me test it. They treated me like a lab rat.”

Xaviera laughed, “It’s a pity that the poison is useless for me. I can’t help them test the antidote. I can’t let them off easily for treating me like this.”
“How does Mrs. Mamet plan to deal with them?” Caleb hugged her soft waist and asked softly.
Xaviera gave a sinister smile, “I want to let them know that inviting me here not only brings them no benefits but also a huge trouble! Finding that photo album and my mother’s belongings today are enough. You can go first.”
With that, Xaviera lay down on the sofa again pretending to be unconscious. She was very curious about how the Hughes family and Caleb were poisoned by the same poison. What was the connection between the Hughes family and the Drew family?
Caleb stood up, his smile suddenly freezing. The scene before him blurred; he rubbed his eyes, relieved that Xaviera did not notice his abnormality.
In Xaviera’s mind, she had already detoxified him, and the two were now connected by blood, so he would never go blind again. But in reality…
Caleb’s eyes gradually lost their luster. He could only rely on the light from the window to determine his location. Adjusting his breathing, he whispered, “Mrs. Mamet, be careful. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
Without waiting for Xaviera’s response, Caleb opened the window and deftly climbed out. Xaviera was still a bit surprised; why did he suddenly leave when he was worried just now?
It was probably because the Hughes family was now surrounded by Caleb’s people, and everyone’s plans were within his expectations. Therefore, he was confident to leave her here to deal with the Hughes family members slowly.
Just when she was lost in her thoughts, footsteps sounded from outside the door. Jonas Hughes asked softly, “Dad, is the antidote really useful?”
Cory Hughes laughed proudly, “That’s a drug developed by the Medical Association. Even if this one doesn’t work, we can continue to use Xaviera Evans to test other antidotes. There must be one that’s effective.”
Xaviera sneered inwardly; they truly treated her like a lab rat. Regardless, she was a human life, and they didn’t care about her at all. Who knows how many vicious things they had done behind the scenes? This group of people were truly social scum!
The voice of Madam Hughes suddenly sounded, disgustingly laughing, “After a while, let Zora get ready to go to Lowen Clubhouse. Mr. Caleb Mamet will surely like her. With Zora’s company, he won’t care about Xaviera Evans’s life or death!”
Cory Hughes’s voice was serious, “Don’t be in a rush. Let’s wait for Xaviera to wake up first. If the antidote works, we must keep her here as a source of antidote! But we can’t detain her here without reason. We need a sufficient reason, otherwise…”
