Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 369: 369: The Jewelry Exhibition A Few Days Later

“Jake…”

Jake Lindsey gently said, “Zara, are you awake?”

“I, I just…” Zara Woods teared up suddenly, “Can you take me to the restroom? I don’t want to go to the hospital. I really didn’t mean to ruin their relationship, and I didn’t want to be a third party. How can I explain it so they’ll believe me?”

“I just thought Xaviera’s background wasn’t good enough for Caleb. He’s such an outstanding man, handsome and wealthy. Only the most outstanding woman is qualified to be his wife.”

“However, Xaviera is just a country girl, she’s not gentle, and she has no talent. How can she be Mrs. Mamet?”

“Although Xaviera is nice, she’s not suitable for Caleb. Who knew that everyone would misunderstand me?”

Jake Lindsey clenched his teeth: “It’s all Xaviera Evans’s fault. She’s jealous of you; because she’s incapable, she always targets you! Zara! Don’t be too sad. The jewelry exhibition is in just a few days, and I heard Xaviera signed up as well. How could she design something good?”

Zara Woods suddenly recalled the first time she met Xaviera Evans, when she gave her 16 sets of dresses. She had tampered with the dresses, but Xaviera saw through it.

Zara began to feel uneasy. She had heard from the Price brothers that Xaviera was Lohill. Could this be true?

After a moment of silence, she let out a sigh of relief. What was there to be afraid of? Even if it was true, what could possibly happen? Even if Xaviera Evans was Lohill, that didn’t mean she could design jewelry.

But she was different. She owned international brands of jewelry and clothing, with many products in high demand. Yet, no one had ever heard of any brand from Xaviera Evans.

So what if she played the violin well? When it came to designing jewelry and clothes, Xaviera Evans definitely couldn’t compete with her.

Zara Woods was an internationally renowned designer, a young, beautiful, and talented independent woman. How could she be compared to someone like Xaviera Evans, who relied on men to survive?

“Xaviera also signed up? So… she also has artwork to exhibit?”

Zara Woods showed a hint of cunning in her eyes, then smiled bitterly: “Xaviera… why is she treating me like this? What do I do that she has to step in?”

“The design field is something I’ve been studying since I was young; it takes more than a day or two to learn. I need talent; it’s not a simple industry.”

“Xaviera doesn’t understand design at all and still wants to participate in this competition. She must have known I signed up, so… maybe I should withdraw. I don’t want others to say anything anymore.”

Jake Lindsey was heartbroken. Zara was truly kind — even when Xaviera had treated her this way, she still wholeheartedly thought about Xaviera’s feelings.

“What Xaviera wants to do has nothing to do with you. You have already tolerated her enough. If she stubbornly participates in the design competition, she will only be ridiculed.”

Jake Lindsey sneered: “Zara, you can’t let her go anymore. She wants to participate in this by herself. The competition will be fully broadcast. By then, everyone will know Xaviera is incapable, and you are the most outstanding woman!”

Zara Woods lowered her eyes and laughed sinisterly.

Jakk’s banquet hall.

Just as the birthday banquet was about to end, Sir Jaak stood up: “Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment.”

Everyone paused in their tracks.

Sir Jaak spoke: “You must have heard that ten years ago, during Xenia’s birthday party, she pushed Mrs. Mamet. Now, Xenia has realized that she misunderstood Mrs. Mamet back then and wants to clarify this matter in public.”

As soon as everyone heard that Miss Jaak was going to apologize to Mrs. Mamet, they were dumbfounded.

Back then, Rose Campbell sent Xaviera to the countryside because she ‘offended Xenia Jaak and stole from her.’

However, no one knew that the person who offended Xenia back then was Mag Evans, but Xaviera took the blame.

The truth was finally out; everyone could not help but believe that, Rose Campbell had framed Xaviera, using it as an excuse to send her away and take control of the original wife’s property.

After the banquet, the guests left one after another.

Xaviera Evans and Caleb Mamet were not in a hurry to leave and chatted casually where they sat. They turn around and see Xenia Jaak approaching.

She was a bit nervous and apprehensive: “Xaviera, I…”
