Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

“If I tell Zara Woods ‘mission accomplished’ now, would she become complacent? When she sees me alive right in front of her, would she think she’s seeing a ghost?”

Xaviera raised her eyebrows, she really wanted to see Zara’s expression at that moment!

Albert chuckled, knowing only Xaviera could come up with such a plan.

Xaviera took out her phone and sent Zara a message.

…

At the Mamet house.

Zara looked down at her phone. There was a message from Lingo Pavilion’s assassin saying “mission accomplished.” She was overjoyed.

Mission accomplished… This means Xaviera is dead.

Xaviera is finally dead. She couldn’t believe it. The bitch who stole Caleb from her just died so easily. It seems she was not her match at all.

Lingo Pavilion never fails. It was a matter of time before Xaviera was killed. However, Zara didn’t expect it to succeed with just one strike. She thought they would have to entangle with Xaviera for a while longer.

Zara managed to suppress the urge to laugh, knowing Xaviera was dead for sure.

Even if Caleb couldn’t accept it, there was no bringing Xaviera back. Now Zara would be the only woman by Caleb’s side, bearing his children and accompanying him for a lifetime.

At that moment, Will Mamet’s voice echoed through the banquet hall: “I invited everyone here today to announce some happy news.”

Business partners and offshoot members of the Mamet family gathered. As everyone speculated that Will would hand over the inheritance to Boyd Drew, he loudly declared—

“Today is the engagement banquet of my son Caleb and the Woods family’s daughter, Zara Woods.”

The entire room fell silent.

Yigol sprang up, while the people below stared with disbelief etched across their faces.

Caleb… and Zara Woods getting engaged?

But wasn’t Caleb already married?

Although they hadn’t held a wedding ceremony, the Mamet family’s friends and relatives were aware of the marriage, and most of them had met Xaviera.

Why would he suddenly get engaged to Zara Woods?

“As the eldest son of the Mamet family, Caleb’s marriage should be arranged according to traditional customs. Miss Woods and Caleb have grown up together, and our two families have had a good relationship. If they become in-laws, it would be a joyous occasion.”

“As Caleb’s father, I officially announce the engagement of Caleb and Zara, and their wedding will be arranged soon. I hope everyone will be present.”

…

A chilling silence, as if death itself had descended upon the room.

No one dared to speak until Yigol burst out: “Dad! What are you doing? Caleb is already married, and you want him to get engaged to Zara? Isn’t this bigamy? If the news gets out, it’s not good for her either! Do you want people to criticize you behind your back?”

Zara looked hurt and wronged on her face.

Will, however, portrayed the image of a loving father, and said, “Yigol, I know you care about your brother. But as his father, I have to make decisions for him.”

“You know as well as I do, Xaviera isn’t a good person. She’s not fit to be the Mamet family’s wife. Her upbringing and manners are far inferior to Zara. Not to mention, Caleb and Zara grew up together. If it weren’t for Xaviera meddling, they would’ve gotten married and had children already.”

Everyone knew that Mrs. Mamet was a young lady from the Evans family, not an aristocratic family. She also grew up in the countryside and seemed incompatible with Caleb.

However, to say such things in public was indeed disrespectful to Xaviera.

Yigol indignantly said, “Since it’s Caleb’s marriage, you have to ask whether he’s willing or not!”

Will frowned, “I am his father, and I have agreed. Can he still disagree? Yigol, for us aristocratic families, it is important to marry in our respective social statuses. That Xaviera is not a match for our Mamet family.”

“If they weren’t married, keeping her as a mistress would be tolerable, but they’re married. How can our Mamet family tolerate a daughter-in-law who doesn’t deserve to be in our circle?”

Yigol stomped his feet in frustration, turned to his assistant, who whispered, “I called him, but Mr. Caleb Mamet didn’t pick up.”
