NOVPUBChapter 912: Chapter 912: Overbearing CEO Protecting His Wife
“Windrop Entertainment is indeed the property my mother left me, but Sir Hughes and my grandmother divorced decades ago, and they had already divided the property at that time. Since then, my mother never returned to the Hughes family and lived with my grandmother. My mother established Windrop Entertainment with the money from my grandmother, and now it’s left to me. Logically and emotionally, thempany has nothing to do with the Hughes family. I would like to share Windrop Entertainment with you, but I believe my mother would not agree from the spirit in heaven.”
“After your divorce with my grandmother, you never had anynnection with my mother again. You didn’t evenme to see her when she passed away. She resented that. Therefore, transferring Windrop Entertainment’s shares to you is against my mother’s will. Moreover, the twompanies have already merged, and a part of these shares also belongs to Caleb Mamet. I really can’t make the decision.”
Xaviera’s tone was full of sadness, and she sighed helplessly, “I’ve never met you, but I didn’t expect our first eunter would be like this.”
Her voice choked more, “You despised me for being abandoned by the Evans family and living alone outside, so you don’t rgnize me as a member of the Hughes family and don’t allow me to call you grandpa. I can understand that, but…”
At this moment, the Mamet Corporation’s employeesuld no longer stand by and watch, and they indignantly said, “When Mrs. Mamet was alone and stranded in the past, the Hughes family despised her, refused to let her return home, and didn’t even allow her to call her grandpa. Now that they know she’s married to the president and is also Windrop Entertainment’s chairman, they’veme to blackmail her morally. Do you people have no shame?”
The receptionist also snortedldly, “You just want to take advantage of Mrs. Mamet’s wealth and power. Where were you when she suffered and was wronged as a child? Now that you see her success, youme to thempany to put on a show. Have you no shame?”
“Even the man from Garye Company is sick, blindly helping that woman just because she’s attractive and momentarily driven by lust.”
With that, the man from Garye Company’s face turned red with shame, and he lowered his head in embarrassment. Zora Hughes, who was standing nearby, wished sheuld find a hole to crawl into. She clenched her lips and tried to calm herself down for a long time before speaking tremulously, “Xaviera, Grandpa has never said such things. You are always a member of the Hughes family, and you are his granddaughter. Over the years that you’ve been away, we’ve all been worried about you, and Mrs. Nidya has always beenncerned. How can you think of us like this? Grandpa would be heartbroken if he heard what you said!”
Zora’s anger surged; she hadme today to force Xaviera to hand over the shares, but instead, she found herself accused of wrongdoing. Suppressing the anger in her heart, Zora gritted her teeth and said, “You’ve really misunderstood. We have never thought of seizing Windrop Entertainment’s shares. We just came here to see you. You shouldn’t maliciously misinterpret our intentions!”
“Maliciously misinterpret?” 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Then, a chilling voice came from nearby, a man with an upright posture exuding a regal aura. The moment he appeared, everything around him lost its brightness.
Behind Caleb Mamet stood a group of men and women in professional attire, all high-level executives of the Mamet Corporation. As Caleb slowly approached, people made way for him, acknowledging the owner of the Mamet Corporation—a man of extraordinary wealth and handsome appearance. When he appeared, the entire hall fell silent, and many female employees blushed.
Caleb walked straight to Xaviera, pulling her into his embrace. Then, with his deep eyes, he looked at Zora and spokeldly, “Miss Hughes, can you explain what you mean by ‘maliciously misinterpreting’?”
Zora’s eyes widened in fright, unable to meet Caleb’s gaze. His mouth curled up slightly, and then he said nonchalantly, “Miss Hughes, Mrs. Mamet is pure and kindhearted, not malicious in any way. What she said is nothing more than the truth.”
Zora clenched her teeth—the pure and kindhearted Xaviera? She was clearly the most cunning and vicious woman!
However, in front of Caleb, she needed to maintain her image, so she spoke softly, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, you’ve really misunderstood.”
The man responded indifferently, “Miss Hughes, you came to the door yesterday pretending to be Windrop Entertainment’s chairman’s friend and seized Mrs. Mamet’s position as CEO. Today, you and Sir Hughes came again. Is it not that Miss Hughes and Sir Hughes want Windrop Entertainment?”
Steve Price: “That must be it! Miss Hughes brought Sir Hughes today to show off sisterly love, but it’s not unreasonable for the lady to suspect you want Windrop Entertainment!”
Caleb nodded in satisfaction—an assistant who came useful in critical moments was worth hiring.
