Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband C.545 - : Betting on Wins and Losses

Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Betting on Wins and Losses

Her eyes reddened, she looked at Caleb Mamet with grievance, “Caleb…”

Xaviera Evans’ admirer immediately got angry, “Mrs. Mamet, your words are really harsh! There’s nothing strange about Miss Woods being unable to tame such a wild horse; she’s just a delicate girl. You can’t accuse Miss Woods of not being skilled in horse riding!”

“Mrs. Mamet, if you’re so capable, why don’t you try and tame this horse? What right do you have to ridicule Miss Woods?”

The man seemed to really like Zara Woods and quickly stood up to defend her from injustice when he saw her wronged and crying.

Before Xaviera Evans could speak, Caleb Mamet’s eyes turned cold at the side, his voice icy and authoritative, “I didn’t know that when Mrs. Mamet just spoke the truth, it would cause everyone to be so displeased?”

Everyone immediately became silent, and after a long while, some friends of Yigol Mamet who were on good terms with him came forward.

“This horse was clearly chosen by Mrs. Mamet first, but Zara Woods insisted that Mrs. Mamet didn’t know how to ride and could not control this horse, so she took it away forcibly. Now that she has made a fool of herself, why is she blaming Mrs. Mamet?”

“Moreover, when the horse was standing next to Mrs. Mamet, it was as docile as a child. How come it became so violent when it got close to Zara Woods?”

“Having snatched someone else’s thing, yet blaming it for being bad, isn’t that a bit too much?”

Zara Woods’ face darkened and she clenched her teeth.

However, she was certain that Xaviera Evans did not know how to ride, otherwise, with her temperament, she would have refuted when someone ridiculed her earlier.

Nowadays, which lady or madam from upper class families wasn’t proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horse riding, dancing, and more? Some even kept horses in their villas for daily practice.

Xaviera Evans didn’t even wear riding gear, so her riding skills must be worse than her own.

Resentful, Zara Woods thought, why should she be the only one to lose face? She wanted Xaviera Evans to taste the same humiliation.

“Caleb, it’s all my fault. I thought Xaviera couldn’t ride and took the horse away for her sake. I didn’t expect that I couldn’t control it myself. Since Xaviera can tame it, why not let her try?”

Xaviera Evans gave her a meaningful smile. Did she want to drag her down as well?

With the help of others, Zara Woods got up weakly and said, “I… I didn’t mean to make things difficult for Xaviera. I was just worried that if the news spread, people would say that Xaviera can’t ride, yet she still ridiculed me. If…Xaviera can tame this horse, the rumors would be discredited.”

Her admirers looked at her admiringly; Zara was truly understanding.

One man echoed, “Exactly, Mr. Caleb Mamet, if people found out that Mrs. Mamet can’t ride but still ridiculed others, it would certainly become a joke. If Mrs. Mamet can ride, why not just get on the horse and give it a try?”

“Otherwise, people will say that Mrs. Mamet deliberately targeted Miss Woods and accuse her of being vicious, jealous of others’ welfare, and making sarcastic remarks when they were embarrassed.”

Yigol Mamet was indignant. To say Xaviera Evans was vicious? They were really good at turning things around!

The man continued, “Mrs. Mamet, if you can tame this horse, I’d be willing to apologize and offer reparations. I have plenty of commercial real estate available, and I could give Mrs. Mamet two or three properties as a gift, what do you think?”

Commercial properties?

Xaviera Evans suddenly became interested but feigned difficulty, “This…”

Zara Woods’ admirer thought she didn’t dare, so he began to ridicule her, “Since Mr. Adel is so generous, I can’t be left behind. If Mrs. Mamet can tame this horse, I’ll give her a whole building!”

“Count me in!”

Those who were afraid that Xaviera Evans would not get on the horse all placed their bets.

Boyd Drew, who had been silent for a long time at the side, suddenly laughed, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, why not let Miss Evans give it a try? Even if she can’t ride, there’s nothing to lose. But if she can, there are many benefits to gain.”

All eyes turned to Boyd Drew. Others might not know about the relationship between the Drews and the Mamet family, but Zara Woods was very aware of it.

These days, she had been very close to Boyd Drew, and now she came to Caleb Mamet’s side to make her presence known. There must be some ulterior motive.

Xaviera Evans’ eyes darkened, her expression hesitant, “Mr. Drew is right. Even if I can’t do it, there’s nothing to lose. And if I can, there are many benefits. I really do want to give it a try.”
