The fact that Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans were married had not been made public, but a few people knew the inside story; that’s why everyone present guessed that Xaviera was Mrs. Mamet.
But Zara Woods knew that Xaviera and Caleb were married long ago, so why on earth did she insist on calling her Miss Evans?
Just now, when Madam Jaak was about to call Xaviera Mrs. Mamet, it was Zara Woods who called out “Miss Evans” to interrupt her words, guiding everyone else to address Xaviera as Miss Evans.
Zara Woods’ faced everyone’s contemptuous and mocking gazes, and an overwhelming sense of shame rose within her.
Her face turned pale, and she tried to hold back the fear in her heart, her voice trembling: “I… I didn’t mean it, I’ve just gotten used to it.”
Xenia Jaak sneered: “Who are you trying to fool? I think you deliberately refused to admit it.”
Xaviera feigned surprise, and then smiled meaningfully: “Miss Jaak is right. Miss Woods knew I was Mrs. Mamet all along, but still called me Miss Evans. Moreover, without any invitation, she visited our home multiple times, even demanding to stay there. Though she didn’t succeed, when I connected all these events together, it seems you wanted to…”
Xaviera deliberately emphasized the word ‘our.’ She didn’t continue, but everyone understood the meaning behind her words.
“Haha! Zara Woods wanted to be the mistress. Pretending to be Mr. Caleb Mamet’s friend and asking to stay at Lowen Clubhouse, she actually tried to meddle in the relationship between Mrs. Mamet and her husband.”
“Isn’t she just an angelic bitch?”
“No wonder she and Maxwell Martin staged a farce to mock Mrs. Mamet for not making it to the finals. Who knew it would backfire on her.”
“Maxwell Martin kept forcing Mrs. Mamet to perform only to step on her and show off how talented Zara Woods is on the violin.”
People mocked: “It’s a pity that Zara Woods won the championship through insider connections. Mrs. Mamet is the real champion!”
Listening to the laughter around her, Zara Woods felt her blood begin to freeze.
Her legs weakened, not knowing how to explain herself, her voice trembling and choked: “Xaviera, I…I just saw Caleb as a friend and you too. I really had no other intentions.”
“Miss Woods, please address me as Mrs. Mamet.” Xaviera spoke coldly.
At that moment, Zara Woods choked, her face as pale as paper, on the verge of collapsing.
Finally, Jake Lindsey, who had been standing by, couldn’t take it anymore: “Xaviera! Don’t go too far!”
Xaviera appeared indifferent: “Miss Woods, what are you afraid of? Is calling me Mrs. Mamet that difficult for you?”
The onlookers’ scorching gaze fell on Zara Woods.
Even if Zara Woods and Caleb Mamet had once been an item, that was all in the past. Now, Xaviera was the legitimate Mrs. Mamet. What role was she playing, acting like a victim?
Moreover, Zara Woods always claimed to be Caleb Mamet’s friend and brother and never said they were dating. But now that he’s married, she comes to disgust Xaviera, playing the victim, acting like a saint when she’s actually a sinner.
Zara Woods was on the verge of a meltdown.
She had never been this embarrassed before. Since she was the Woods family’s pearl and Caleb Mamet’s childhood friend, many people in Libanan fawned over her. No one ever made things difficult for her, let alone verbally attacked her like this.
But now, because of Xaviera, everyone was blaming her. Their gazes were filled with mockery and disdain. How could she ever show her face in the upper class again?
“Mrs. …Mrs. Mamet…” Zara Woods managed to pronounce those words with difficulty, feeling her head spinning and then immediately fainted.
“Zara!” Jake Lindsey quickly caught her, his face filled with concern. “Zara! Zara! Mrs. Woods, I’m going to take Zara to the hospital!”
Afterwards, Jake Lindsey lifted his eyes, glared at Xaviera fiercely, then carried Zara horizontally and directly left the hall.
Zara Woods lay limply in Jake Lindsey’s arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She clenched her teeth tightly, suppressing the trembling.
It was all Xaviera, that bitch’s fault! Xaviera ruined her!
