Suki Woods stormed over, yelling, ‘My sister was only trying to help you, to prevent you from going astray, and you accuse her of putting on airs? You’re already married and yet you go messing around with older men, pretending to be virtuous when you’re dirtier than anyone else!”
“I suspect you’ve been with more than one man? How many have you been with? Do you have some disease? My sister kindly advised you, and you took it as harm—”
“Ha! What talent the Woods family has.” The man’s voice came over with a sarcastic laugh.
Caleb Mamet’s eyes were deep, his face ice-cold as he walked towards them with long strides.
Page Uland watched the coldness on the man’s face, wonderinq if he had
caused some trouble.
He initially only planned to send Xaviera a few clothes, who would’ve known he’d be mistaken for her lover. If Xaviera’s husband was jealous, that’d make things complicated.
Maybe he should head back to the mountains; city women really were vicious!
Page Uland was about to make a call to Xavier Hamer.
Suki Woods looked at the man approaching, antagonistically yelling, “I was talking, and you interrupted me? Who the hell do you think you are?”
Caleb Mamet radiated an imposing presence that made Suki Woods scared, but refusing to lose face, she defiantly yelled, “Xaviera, where did you pick up this outsider of a man…”
“Suki!” Zara Woods immediately stopped her, turning pale.
Being the young miss of the Woods family and enduring many battles, she forced a smile and gently said, “Caleb, you’re here too.”
Caleb Mamet gave her a cold glance and turned his face away in disgust.
Sean Price distantly interjected, “Miss Woods, only those close to the president are allowed to call him Caleb. You have nothing to do with him, so you should just call him Mr. Caleb Mamet.”
Zara Woods choked back a response, her heart pounding.
Hearing his name, Suki Woods went pale, trembling in fear, “Mr…Mr…Mr.
Caleb Mamet?”
Was this the man in charge of the Mamet family, Caleb Mamet?
Suki Woods greatly regretted her previous outburst. She glanced at Zara whose face was still calm.
Caleb Mamet should not hold it against her; after all, they were doing this for him. It was Xaviera who had been messing around behind his back, and they were merely giving her advice!
Caleb Mamet stood beside Xaviera, leaning down slightly, his voice calm yet domineering, “Mrs. Mamet, you have my apologies for being wronged.”
Page Uland felt awkward. He was considering how to greet Mr. Mamet, but was scared Mr. Mamet might misunderstand his relationship with Xaviera.
Before Page Uland could open his mouth, Xaviera’s cold face suddenly crumbled.
“Caleb, I feel so wronged! Miss Woods claimed to be your friend, and even though she was doing it for my own good, she didn’t listen to my explanation and just lectured me. I didn’t want to clashing with her.” “Moreover, if I said something unpleasant, it’d affect your friendship.” Zara felt nauseous; Xaviera really knew how to play her part!
While claiming that she didn’t want to harm their friendship, she insinuated accusations with every word.
Caleb Mamet scowled, not bothering to look at Zara, “Sean Price.”
Sean Price understood, ‘Miss Woods, you merely know Mr. Mamet, you can’t exactly call that a friend. Even if Mrs. Mamet makes a mistake, it’s none of your business to lecture her.”
“Are you aware of the consequences of availing yourself of Mr. Mamet and keeping our Mrs. Mamet at bay? You’re smart, no need for further elaboration.
What do you think?”
Zara Woods had a gloomy look in her eyes, grinding her teeth in anger.
Is Caleb going to go against her for the sake of Xaviera?
They grew up together, were friends for more than twenty years, and because of Xaviera, he no longer needed friends?
Damned woman! How dare she complain!
Could it be that Caleb genuinely liked a woman like Xaviera?
Perhaps Caleb was only after freshness. It was no wonder she had been too reserved and conservative these years. What if she also tried to seduce Caleb like Xaviera, would the result be different?
Zara Woods sniffled, choking, “Alright, I was meddling in what I shouldn’t have. It was not my place to interfere in…Mr. Mamet’s affairs, I was wrong..”
