Chapter 547: Chapter 547: All of Zara Woodsâ Admirers are Stupid
Xaviera was just about to nod in agreement when a cold male voice suddenly came from beside her: âI agree.â
Caleb Mamet slowly raised his eyes, showing a calm yet powerful demeanor, and said lightly: âI agree to put up 5% of my shares. If Xaviera cannot do it, I will offer my shares willingly.â
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Mr. Caleb Mamet really loved his wife, willing to put up 5% of his shares as a bet?
Or, maybe Mrs. Mamet was really skilled in horse riding. If she could do it, they would have to abide by their promise and offer up their agreed bets. Otherwise, it would be better not to bet at all, or elseâŠ
âCaleb, calm down! How can you put up 5% of your shares? Xaviera grew up in the countryside and doesnât know how to ride a horse. I asked her to use the shop as collateral, so I could give it back to her later. However, if the shares are signed in a contractâŠâ
âMoreover, the shares in the Mamet Corporation involve a huge amount of money and have a great impact on you. You know that very well. You cannot pay such a price just for Xavieraâs face!â
Zara Woods looked sad, âXaviera, canât you think about Calebâs feelings?â
Upon hearing these words, everyone understood that Mrs. Mamet couldnât actually ride a horse; it was just for her face that Mr. Caleb Mamet agreed to offer up his shares.
But those were the shares of the Mamet Corporation. Even a 1% share was a huge sum of money, and now it was 5%, just casually being offered up?
With just a few words, Mr. Drew had managed to make Mr. Mamet agree to give up his shares. If Mrs. Mamet couldnât do what was asked, not only would she lose face, but she would also cause her husband to lose his shares. How could she hold her head up in the upper class society then?
Boyd Drew smirked, actually knowing that Xaviera could ride a horse. Her brothers were all exceptional, and she married Caleb Mamet. How could she possibly not know how to ride a horse?
However, being able to ride a horse doesnât necessarily mean being able to tame one, especially since this horse had a strong temper. Even Zara Woods, an expert in horse riding, couldnât control it, let alone Xaviera. ÆĐłeewŃbnovel.com
It seemed that the horse looked gentle but didnât allow Zara Woods to ride it, probably because it had an owner already. Even if Xaviera was skilled in horse riding, she wouldnât be able to make the horse recognize her as its master on the spot.
This time, Caleb was bound to lose.
Right now, Xaviera had already walked up to the horse.
Zara Woods beseeched earnestly, âXaviera, how can you be so ignorant! To save your face, youâre willing to gamble away all of Calebâs hard work. When the time comesâŠâ
âMiss Woods, you donât need to waste your breath on her. A spendthrift woman like her needs to suffer some hardships and have her arrogance crushed. Letâs see if she dares to mock you again in the future!â
Another man chimed in, âMr. Mamet is her husband, of course, he has to save her face. In the end, itâs Xaviera whoâs too arrogant. She doesnât even have her husband in her eyes; thatâs why she agreed to the bet.â
âIt was just a small matter to begin with. If not for her mocking Miss Woods, things wouldnât have escalated this much.â
âSheâs not even fit to be Mrs. Mamet. Sheâs a complete disgrace to the Mamet family!â
Listening to everyoneâs mockery, Xaviera remained calm and found them absurd.
Zara Woods came over and took her horse away. Xaviera couldnât tame the horse herself and fell off it. Zara Woods was the one who proposed the bet, and Boyd Drew was the one who demanded the shares. How did that concern her?
Were Zara Woodsâ admirers all fools?
Did they all want to be slapped in the face? If so, they could just keep their eyes wide open and watch.
Xaviera held the reins in her hand, raised her eyes, and gave Zara Woods a cold glance before looking at Boyd Drew by her side.
âMr. Drew.â
âIs there anything else, Miss Evans?â
Xaviera: âIâm just curious about why Mr. Drew is so sure that I wonât be able to tame this horse, even going so far as to put 5% of the shares as a bet.â
Boyd Drew gave a gentle smile, âMiss Evans, you think too much. I have no ill intentions. In fact, you should know that Iâve always admired you. Even if you canât do it today, I would still tell my friends behind me not to spread the news to avoid damaging your reputation.â
Xaviera scoffed, âYou sure talk pretty, but everyone knows what youâre up to.â
Boyd Drew didnât get angry and still had a smile on his face.
âItâs quite surprising that Mr. Drew and Miss Woods are together, both having such thick skins, making them quite compatible. I wish you both happiness forever.â
