Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Face of the Mamet Family’s Matron

Translator: 549690339

Some perceptive people had already figured it out — what Steve Price was implying was that entering the Coriell family’s banquet hall meant affiliating oneself with them… Being on good terms with the Coriells meant being against the Mamet family…

Given a choice between the two families, they knew which side to take.

So, many people halted their steps without continuing into the banquet hall; they also took out their phones to contact those who had already entered, urging them to come out immediately. It was not worth offending the Mamet family for a single banquet!

Vita Coriell gritted her teeth, knowing well Caleb Mamet’s capabilities. If he chose not to go in today, more than half of the guests at the Coriell’s banquet would leave!

She hurried forward and explained, “Caleb, it’s all a misunderstanding. I didn’t… I didn’t say that Miss Evans’s invitation was false. It was all Naomi’s mistake. Miss Evans, you can go in, you can go in whenever you want.” Xaviera Evans grinned at her, “Miss Coriell, are you saying I can go in now?”

Vita’s heart bled. If she didn’t allow Xaviera to enter, Caleb and many other guests here would leave. No matter how much favor she received within the Coriell family, she couldn’t bear such a burden.

So, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile, “Of course, Miss Evans is our esteemed guest.”

With a faint smile, Xaviera was about to walk in when her hand was grabbed once again. Her heart sank, wondering if Caleb might have changed his mind.

Caleb held Xaviera’s hand, his gaze coldly fixed on Vita: “Does Miss Coriell think that this settles the matter? Don’t you think you should say something to

Xaviera?”

Vita’s face suddenly turned ashen.

Caleb slowly spat out two words: “Apologize.”

Vita’s mind raced, furious that Caleb was actually demanding her to apologize to Xaviera, this bitch, in front of so many people! Her body shuddered, “Caleb, I’ve already agreed to let Miss Evans in. You can’t just ignore the reputation of our family. Our Coriell family and the Mamet family have been friends for generations. You’re making me apologize to…to Miss Evans…”

How big do you think the Coriell family’s reputation is? Big enough to withstand disrespecting my wife and walking away unscathed?”

Caleb laughed lightly, “Or is it that the Coriell family’s power has already surpassed the Mamet family’s, that you can trample the Mamet family’s

Matron’s reputation underfoot?”

With that statement, Vita was silenced.

Caleb pointed out Xaviera’s identities: one was Miss Evans, the other was Mrs.

Mamet. Two distinct titles representing two different levels. Vita could scold Miss Evans, but she could not show any disrespect towards Mrs. Mamet because the Mamet family stood behind her.

That was also the reason she had always referred to Xaviera as Miss Evans — she didn’t want to acknowledge Xaviera’s identity, or admit that Xaviera had so easily gained the status which she had yearned for, for years!

Vita understood the reasoning behind what Caleb said, but she just couldn’t accept it. Why did Xaviera get to be Mrs. Mamet? But with so many people watching, if she refused to apologize, it would be the Coriell family who ultimately suffered.

Vita approached Xaviera stiffly, her apology sounding like it was squeezed from her throat, “Miss Evans, I’m sorry.”

Unfazed, Xaviera nodded, “It’s alright. I just hope that next time, Miss Coriell, you will investigate the truth thoroughly before taking action. Like this time, you were lucky to have met someone like me who is good-tempered and won’t bother with your petty disputes. But what if next time, you offend someone with a terrible temper? I hope you’ll think three times before you act the next time.”

Caleb: ‘

Such rhetorical remarks earned Xaviera a lot of applause, with many people saying that she was broad-minded. But Caleb couldn’t stand listening to it anymore.

Vita clenched her teeth angrily, swearing to herself that she would make Xaviera pay! She would make her regret what she had done today!

Xaviera, arm in arm with Caleb, walked into the banquet hall. Caleb glanced at her, “I thought Mrs. Mamet said she would never see me again and stop serving

Xaviera feigned ignorance, “What are you talking about? Are you delirious from a fever?”

Knowing this woman’s talent for acting dumb, Caleb scoffed and looked away, “Xaviera, today’s banquet is held by the Coriell family. It does you no good to offend them.” That’s why exposing the fake dress and offending the Coriells was a task better suited for him.

Xaviera paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. She had thought Caleb had finally come around, standing by her side, but in the end, he still seemed to be siding with the Coriells..
