Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 359: 359: Isn’t that a bit of bullying?!

With that light-hearted remark, Xaviera had rubbed Maxwell Martin’s face in the dirt in an instant.

Mr. Martin had always been haughty and disdainful of others, but now this young lady had not even heard of him.

Maxwell Martin’s face darkened, holding back a breath, and Zara Woods took the opportunity to speak up.

She looked shocked, “Xaviera, how could you… not know Mr. Martin? He was one of the judges back then!”

Judge?

Maxwell Martin had been one of the judges for the violin competition three years ago. No wonder he admired Zara Woods so much – after all, she had been the champion!

Watching everyone’s admiring gaze, Maxwell Martin’s expression softened a bit, and then suddenly remembered something, snorted coldly.

“It’s normal for Miss Evans not to have met me. After all, only those who made it to the finals could meet me, and if I remember correctly… you didn’t make it to the finals back then.”

Everyone drew a sharp breath.

So… back then, Xaviera Evans and Zara Woods had both participated in the violin competition, with one winning the championship and the other not even making it to the finals.

It was simply a world of difference between them!

Zara Woods smiled triumphantly, and then looked at Caleb Mamet. However, Caleb wouldn’t deign to give her a glance.

Zara clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Sooner or later, Caleb would know how outstanding she was, and that Xaviera was nothing but a piece of trash, not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

Playing the violin required talent, and many daughters of wealthy families spent a lot of money on learning it but still ended up with nothing to show for it. Those who won the competition were even fewer, yet she had secured such a high-profile championship, which was equivalent to obtaining a ticket to the upper class.

Maxwell Martin looked at Xaviera with disdain, “Miss Evans, since you also study the violin and have listened to Miss Woods’ performance, why don’t you give your evaluation?”

Xaviera’s gaze was indifferent, “Mr. Martin, I didn’t even make it to the finals, let alone meet you. What qualifications do I have to evaluate a champion?”

Indeed, she hadn’t made it to the finals back then and didn’t care about winning the championship. However, Zara Woods could never use this against her.

Moreover, the reason she didn’t advance to the finals back then might not necessarily be a matter of skill level, there may be some secrets yet to be uncovered.

Her violin skills were learned from her older brother Xavier, who had received thumbs up from her many discerning brothers, which made them believe that if she chose to enter the music world, her prospects would be great.

If Zara Woods was only at this level, this championship must have been rigged.

Upon hearing Xaviera’s words, Maxwell Martin immediately looked haughty and raised his head: “Miss Evans, you don’t have to underestimate yourself. It’s a pity that I didn’t have a chance to listen to your performance back then. However, you competed against Zara, and three years have passed, so why not try competing again to see who has made more progress?”

Sir Jaak frowned in displeasure.

Today was his birthday, and he wanted to keep everyone entertained by bringing out his collection of musical instruments for everyone to showcase their talents. However, Maxwell Martin had repeatedly mocked Miss Evans – was he taking himself too seriously?

Any discerning person could see that he was only trying to make things difficult for Miss Evans. Sir Jaak was about to step in to help her out when he saw his granddaughter shake her head at him.

Looking at Xaviera’s calm demeanor, Xenia had an intuition that Xaviera’s violin skills must be better than Zara Woods’.

Xaviera was silent for a while before suddenly scoffing, “Mr. Martin, as you said, Miss Woods is the champion and I didn’t even make it to the finals. Now you’re asking me to compete with her – isn’t that… somewhat bullying?”

Everyone remained silent.

Everyone present knew that Xaviera was Caleb Mamet’s woman. Regardless of whether the Mamet family acknowledged her, she had Caleb as her backer.

Maxwell Martin dared to humiliate Xaviera openly – wasn’t he afraid of offending Caleb?
