“Caleb? Why are you calling me?” Marilyn’s voice carried undisguised fury through the phone, making her poor opinion of the caller abundantly clear.
“What else? Your precious Chloe wants to f*ck me. I’m calling to tell you she should strip naked and beg properly if she wants me to consider it,” Caleb declared, his tone dripping with smug satisfaction.
“What?” Marilyn’s shocked screech pierced the air.
Zachary, Felix, and Benjamin gathered around her. After answering the call, she couldn’t put her phone to her ear and told Zachary to put the call on speaker for her.
Caleb’s vulgar words now echoed for all to hear..
“Can’t you understand human language? She wanted to lick my boots while using me to seduce Gabrielle. She wants to trick Gabrielle into taking her place in the marriage, then have me take over. The condition is that she will have sex with me.”
“Now that the substitution’s done, shouldn’t she be getting naked already?” Caleb demanded in a low voice.
Hearing this, Marilyn saw black spots dancing before her eyes. “Get lost!”
“Mom! Mom! Several male voices shouted from the other end.
Gabrielle decisively ended the call and tossed the phone aside. Kneeling to meet Caleb’s eye level, she said, “Oh dear. What should you do? Your Dad doesn’t want you anymore.
“You, you… Caleb trembled with anger.
He looked at Gabrielle with a hint of fear, realizing for the first time just how terrifying she could be.
How had she forced those d’mning words from my mouth when I didn’t want to say them? Why can’t I resist or even control my own speech?
Back then, in order to return to the Lefevre family, he had expended a great deal of effort to win over his father and Regina before they relented.
Even though he was an illegitimate child, once he moved into the Lefevre residence, the resources available to him changed entirely.
There was certainly no place for him in the Lefevre family, let alone the possibility of him inheriting anything, which was precisely why he’d latched onto Chloe. With the Seavers family’s backing, the Lefevre family wouldn’t dare slight him.
This was also why he’d brainwashed Gabrielle. Her depression created opportunities for him.
Even discarded by the Zechman family, she’d walk away with substantial benefits, which he planned to siphon away with minimal effort
Everything was planned out. All that was left was for that particular person from the Zechman family to die.
Yet before his schemes could bear fruit, the two phone calls earlier had shattered all his ambitions.
“Why?” Caleb watched her departing figure with utter despair.
Without turning, she flicked a sigil backward like discarding trash.
With a soft thud, the sigil landed on him. An icy wave crashed through Caleb’s body. After several violent tremors, his eyes flew open to find himself in a derelict building, the stench of urine thick in the air.
What’s going on? How did I end up here?” A bewildered Caleb got up.
He detected a whiff of an unpleasant odor and realized that his pants were damp and sticky. Subconsciously, he looked down and noticed his pants were filthy. He’d apparently wet himself.

Caleb trembled uncontrollably. Before he could process that his assurant’s call
He hastily picked up.
“Caleb, what the hell did you do? Why did the Lefevre family past revoke all your resources? Many of your poing peojects have been canceled! That S–class script they promised you for next season? The international hry and endome The global ambassador deal? All gone! The company was counting on you to secure these deals Why would you pits off the Lefever his assistant demanded.
Caleb’s lips moved soundlessly, his head pounding like a drum.
I don’t know, Someone set me up.” He sucked in a sharp breath..
He leaned heavily against the wall, a chill running down his spine. He couldn’t remember how he’d goren here or why he made those calls.
It all felt like some bizarre dream.
“If you want to stay
in this industry, fix this now. Otherwise, even the company can’t protect you. Those were the boss i words. The line went dead with finality.
Caleb felt his blood turn to ice.
As he reached to make another call, Chloe’s name flashed on his screen. He answered and immediately uid, I don’t have time for this right now-”
“Caleb, why did you spread lies about me? How dare you tell my mom I should strip and come over so you can f*ck me? Go fu*ck yourself and die!” Chloe shrieked and ended the call directly
Staring at his phone screen, Caleb felt like he’d been struck by lightning.
That nagging sense of foreboding had been right–he’d actually called Marilyn with those obscene demands.
He quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed there were no surveillance cameras. Even if someone was setting him up. there wouldn’t be any evidence.
He gritted his teeth, turning around to descend the staircase. As he reached the bottom, he noticed tire tracks leading away from the building. He stared at the tracks for a moment before hastily dialing a forensic expert
Before long, a forensic expert came to assess the situation. Their conclusion was that his car was the one that drove away
“That’s impossible! My car never moved! Unless you’re suggesting I drove it and then carried it back to its parking spot?? Caleb demanded, gnashing his teeth.
At that moment, he was on the verge of breaking down.
Who was it that was out to get him? They even wanted to completely destroy him.
Without the Lefevers and the Seavers backing him, he was nothing.
The fame of a celebrity is often flecting. Once their resources and support run dry, they’re left with no way out. No matter how hard he strove, nobody would notice
Being disowned by the Lefevers meant no one in the industry would touch him with a ten–foot pole.

Originally, he had planned to leverage the Seavers family, using Gabrielle to establish a connection with the Zechman family. Once he had established a firm footing in the circle, he intended to return to Lefevre Group and seize the inheritance rights of the Lefevre family.
He hadn’t wanted just the title; he’d wanted absolute power.
The evidence doesn’t lie. Get another opinion if you don’t believe us.” The forensic expert pocketed his fee and left without another word.
Caleb clutched his phone, his entire body shivering.
A figure suddenly surfaced in his mind. He murmured to himself, “Gabrielle. Could it be her?”
With this thought, he hastily drove off. He then noticed a strong, unusual odor emanating from his pants and sought a place to change. It was only then that he realized he had completely lost control of his bodily functions.
Bang! His fist smashed into the steering wheel.
Pure, unadulterated rage consumed him, threatening to swallow him whole.
