Chapter 16 Caleb Appears Again
Upon seeing Caleb, Jaziel couldn’t help but furrow his brows
Yet, Caleb took the initiative to stand up and approached.
“Jaziel, it’s been a few days since we last met. You’ve become even more handsome. Last time you mentioned that Vivian didn’t like me and asked me to keep my distance from her. That left me

heartbroken for quite some time. Yet it wasn’t until yesterday, when Vivian called me, that I found out. So it was you who wanted to break us apart. I wonder, what have I done to offend you??
Caleb was speaking loudly.
Jaziel simply said, “Caleb, you’re quite bold.”
In truth, Jaziel never expected that Caleb would have the audacity to show up in front of Vivian again.
Moreover, he was spouting nonsense, falsely accusing Jaziel
Timothy’s face had turned dark with anger, and he bellowed, “Jaziel, why did you have to interfere with Vivian and Caleb’s relationship? No wonder Caleb didn’t answer Vivian’s call last time. You were the one sinring up trouble. Does it really upset you to see Vivian doing well?”
On the side, Susannah had been hesitant to speak. Finally, she couldn’t help but say, “Timothy, Jaziel isn’t that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding here.”
Caleb chimed in from the side, “That’s right. Maybe Jaziel just has a slight misunderstanding about me. Rest assured, Jaziel, with Vivian by my side, I won’t let her down. I’ll take good care of her.”
When Caleb mentioned he would take good care of Vivian, he deliberately paused, causing an involuntary chill to flash across Jaziel’s eyes.
Caleb was somewhat cocky that day, displaying an uncharacteristic confidence. It was unclear what had bolstered his audacity, allowing him to speak to me in such a manner.
Jaziel stared intently into Caleb’s eyes and said, “Caleb, have you forgotten my warning at Cloudview Club? If you dare to show up in front of Vivian again, I’ll break your legs.”
The moment those words fell, a look of surprise crossed the faces of everyone in the room
And yet, with a playful grin, Caleb retorted, “Jaziel, don’t be mad. Are you really threatening me now? Do you despise me that much? However, I truly have feelings for Vivian, I beg you to stop intervening.”
Timothy’s dissatisfaction with Jaziel had reached its peak. “Jaziel, I hope you won’t interfere in Vivian’s matters anymore. Originally, Vivian sought out Caleb that day to help you find a job. Unexpectedly, your mindset has turned out to be so narrow–minded. You’ve truly let me down. Going to jail isn’t the real issue. but if your character is tarnished, that’s the real ruin.”
Timothy’s words were quite harsh, essentially implying that Jaziel’s character was questionable.
Right then, Caleb couldn’t help smirking.
At this point, even Vivian came over, a hint of displeasure etched on her face.

She wrapped her arm around Caleb’s, looking at Jaziel, and said, “Jaziel, I’m really grateful that you made it to Cloudview Club on time. However, that doesn’t mean you can make decisions for me, nor does it imply you can threaten Caleb. Let’s forget about what happened this time, but if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for disowning you as a cousin
“All right. Perhaps Jaziel just has a slight misunderstanding with Caleb.” Susannah stepped in, trying to smooth things over.
It was her birthday that day, and it was also the first time Caleb, her daughter’s boyfriend, had come to visit. She certainly didn’t want any unpleasantness.
“Caleb isn’t all he’s cracked up to be,” Jaziel stated. “His relationship with Vivian is nothing more than a game to him. He even has a hancée. Uncle Timothy, you’re also a part of the Cadrexia’s business community, so you could inquire about it. I’m only looking out for Vivian’s best interests.”
In a rush, Caleb clarified. “I honestly don’t have a fiancee. Jaziel, even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t make up these stories to frame me.”
Jaziel cast a cool glance at Caleb.
If they weren’t at Susannah’s place, Jaziel would have already slapped him to death.
Vivian cast a disappointed glance at Jaziel. Jaziel really has some character issues!
At that moment, Susannah led Jaziel to sit down inside. Jaz, have a seat. I’ll go and cook.
“All right” Jaziel nodded.
In this household, only Susannah could provide him with some warmth.
Timothy and Vivian, on the other hand, were complete fools, utterly deceived by Caleb.
“Vivian, I’m thinking we should take a trip down south for a while,” Caleb suggested to Vivian. “The place is stunningly beautiful. We can stay in a seaside mansion and just enjoy our time together.”
“Sure.” Vivian gave a nod.
The vast ocean, sandy beaches, and a luxurious mansion were the things she yearned for in life.
However, as soon as she spoke, Jaziel couldn’t help but furrow his brows. If the two of them go off to have fun in the south, Vivian will be at the mercy of Caleb, that scoundrel.
Jaziel turned to look at Timothy, only to find that Timothy didn’t seem to see any issue with the suggestion. Instead, he appeared rather happy-
At that moment, the sound of the doorbell echoed from outside.
The door opened, and a woman walked in.
Jaziel knew that woman. She was Aneesa Barker, Timothy’s younger sister, who was also Vivian’s aunt.
Jaziel also addressed the other party as his aunt.
Susannah emerged from the kitchen, her face beaming as she said. “Ancesa is here. Dinner will be ready

Aneesa’s husband was also a businessman. In fact, Timothy’s success could not have been achieved without the help of Aneesa’s husband.
Aneesa walked in with a gift box in her hand, and upon entering, she said, “I knew it was your birthday. Susannah, so I specifically picked out an emerald bracelet for you.”
As she spoke, she pulled out a box from within, opening it in a show–off manner.
A green bracelet was then presented in front of everyone.
“You didn’t have to come with a gift!”
Despite saying that, it was clear that Susannah was quite pleased internally.
“Aunt Susannah, I’ve also brought a gift for you.”
At that moment, Jaziel remembered and brought out the gift he had purchased.
Jaziel’s gift was also an emerald bracelet, which, compared to the one Aneesa brought over, appeared greener and more transparent.
Suddenly, the air was tinged with a hint of awkwardnes
It was not a big deal for two people to bring similar gifts, but it was only embarrassing for the one who brought the less impressive gift.
Aneesa paused for a few seconds before saying, “Isn’t this Jaziel? When did you get released? This emerald of yours is incredibly clear, so it must be worth hundreds of thousands, right? It can’t possibly be fake, can it?”
Like her brother, Timothy, Ancesa wasn’t particularly scheming.
Upon noticing that the quality of Jaziel’s bracelet seemed superior to her own, she couldn’t help but blurt out immediately.
Moreover, the quality of Jaziel’s bracelet was indeed excessively good. How could a penniless lad, freshly out of prison, afford such a fine bracelet?
