NovelEnglish63 Chapter 63: Family
Commandment Token
Vita Coriell ran out of the villa, followed by an elegant
and well–maintained noblewoman.”
Vita attempted to cling to Caleb Mamet’s arm, but suddenly noticed Xaviera Evans. She took a step back, frightened, and
lowered her head, her voice trembling, “Miss Evans, I didn’t know you were here.”
Xaviera narrowed her eyes at Vita’s exaggerated reaction. Was she about to put on another performance? Last time, she and
Caleb took turns rebutting every word the Coriell family said, thinking they would be quiet for a while, but now they were back
again. Was it because they had a new ally?
Xaviera looked at the elegant noblewoman behind Vita, guessing she must be Vita’s new supporter. She wondered about the
woman’s identity, and her gaze swept around subtly. The butler, who had warned the Coriell family last time, stood nervously
behind the noblewoman. Seeing the hint of arrogance and
satisfaction in Vita’s eyes, Xaviera had a rough idea of
63 Chapter 63: Family Commandment Token
the noblewoman’s identity.
She must be Caleb’s mother, Mrs. Mamet.
Wrapped in a shawl, Mrs. Mamet exuded dignity and elegance, with restrained but luxurious jewelry embellishing her attire. She
perfectly showcased her refined taste, avoiding ostentation and appearing like a delicate and exquisite noblewoman.
Meanwhile, Vita wore a diamond studded strap dress, with makeup applied carefully, every strand of her hair oozing
sophistication. In comparison, Xaviera appeared unkempt, dressed in ordinary sportswear, with her hair casually disheveled, and
Seeing Xaviera’s appearance, they both looked down on her. Mrs. Mamet examined her coldly, “Are you Xaviera Evans?” Her
undisguised disdain didn’t make any attempt to spare Xaviera’s feelings.
Caleb’s eyes darkened.
Xaviera glanced towards Vita, confirming that Mrs. Mamet was her trump card, which explained her boldness despite Caleb’s
restrictions on the Coriell family.

Vita spoke before Xaviera had a chance, “Mrs. Jenny,
this is Miss Evans.”
“Hmm, at such a young age, she’s shamelessly seducing
someone else’s fiancé. Don’t worry, Vita, this kind of
woman will never set foot in the Mamet family.”
Xaviera’s face darkened.
Mrs. Mamet sneered, “Caleb, if you’ve decided to marry Vita, treat her well. Why are you bringing this
sort of woman home? As your mother, I won’t let her stay. From today, Vita will live in Lowen Clubhouse to develop a relationship
with you.”
The atmosphere turned icy as she finished.
Caleb’s cherry blossom eyes seemed to hold a storm as he aggressively scanned the others in the room. Calmly, he asked, “On
what authority does Mrs. Mamet decide? Have you obtained the family commandment
token?”
Mrs. Mamet trembled.
The family commandment token... A symbol of the Mistress of the Mamet family that she didn’t possess! Only the recognized
patriarch’s wife was allowed to
have it, sharing control of the Mamet family alongside the family head.
Mrs. Mamet refused to accept this, “Caleb, I’m your mother. Would I harm you? It’s fine to play around with this woman, but you
can’t marry her. Nobody can replace Vita’s status. Listen to your mother and divorce her now.”
Idlely, Caleb reached out to Xaviera, “Let’s go. We don’t need to listen to her nonsense.”
Mrs. Mamet was provoked by his attitude. Just because she lacked the family commandment token,
even her own son wouldn’t listen to her? But was it
easy for a woman in the Mamet family to obtain such a token? Not just her, but for generations, none of the women in the Mamet
family had held it!
The token had not surfaced for more than a hundred.
years.
Vita bit her lip, and leaned weakly on Mrs. Mamet’s shoulder, her voice gentle, “Mrs. Jenny, it’s okay. Please don’t ruin your
relationship with Caleb for my sake.”
Mrs. Mamet came to her senses and remembered the reason for their visit. Her face darkened, “Let’s go
63 Chapter 63: Family Commandment Token
inside. I don’t believe that Caleb would really drive the two of us out for that temptress!”
Xaviera had heard about the Mamet family commandment token. Apparently, it was established after a family head made an
erroneous decision, and at a critical moment, the patriarch’s wife stepped forward, leading the Mamet family out of the crisis. In
gratitude, and for the family’s future, the family agreed upon the creation of the token.
When the current head is negligent and acts against the family’s interests, the wife possessing the token has authority over any
decision, including removing the head and electing a new one.
The commandment token could be said to be a sword constantly hanging over the head of the Mamet family, a threat to their
status. As a result, it had not appeared
for a long time.
