Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband - Chapter 532: 532: Anna Campbell was despised

Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Anna Campbell was despised

Nidya Hughes was so frightened that she didn’t dare to speak. Then, Jeremy Campbell looked at Caleb Mamet with a flattering smile, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, please take a seat, don’t just stand there!”

Anna Campbell looked shy, she was certain that Caleb was the most perfect man she had ever seen. If she could marry him, she would be willing to pay any price.

Instead of paying attention to everyone, Caleb held Xaviera Evans’ hand and sat in the main seat, casually asking, “I’m very curious, Mrs. Campbell, why did you scold my wife? What did she do wrong?”

Jeremy’s heart was pounding nervously.

Nidya thought it was her chance, and quickly explained, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, I must have a reason for scolding her. Xaviera isn’t good enough for you. By marrying her, you’ve really wronged yourself.”

The room fell silent.

After a few seconds, Caleb quirked his lips, “So?”

Nidya thought Caleb agreed with her, so she continued, “Xaviera grew up in the countryside. She doesn’t have the temperament of a noble lady, isn’t familiar with etiquette, and has no culture. It’s not suitable for you to marry her.”

“I’ve been thinking, Anna would be more suitable for you. Since she was young, Jeremy and I have had high expectations for her and cultivated her into a top noble lady. She has now graduated from a prestigious university, skilled in various musical instruments, calligraphy, painting, and dancing. Although she isn’t our biological daughter, Jeremy and I have always treated her like our own. I think only Anna is worthy of a successful man like you.”

As the words fell, the air turned still, and the only sound was Steve Price grinding his teeth.

But Nidya didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said, she pushed Anna forward like a matchmaker, “Anna, go and greet Mr. Caleb Mamet.”

Anna’s face turned red, “Mr. Caleb Mamet.”

Her tone was gentle, her demeanor shy but reserved.

However, Caleb didn’t respond, and the atmosphere became incredibly awkward.

Anna’s shyness gradually turned into embarrassment, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, I…”

“Mrs. Campbell.” Caleb’s eyes darkened, his expression indifferent.

“What kind of person do you think I am? You think you can throw any tom, dick, or harry at me? My taste isn’t that bad that I find anyone appealing.”

…

Silence, a deadly silence.

The expressions on Nidya and Anna’s faces gradually stiffened, turning pale as paper.

Tom, dick, or harry? How dare he call her that? She… she was Miss Campbell, a top noble lady in upper-class society.

“Mrs. Campbell, your biological daughter is already married to our CEO, and yet you’re eagerly pushing your adopted daughter towards him too. Isn’t this deliberately ruining our CEO’s reputation? Modern society practices monogamy, don’t you know that?”

Steve mocked with a sneer, “Even if it was ancient times, our CEO has already married a wife. How is it appropriate for the Campbell family to send his wife’s sister over too? The Campbell family is an aristocratic family, surely you don’t still practice such outdated customs!”

Nidya’s breathing grew rapid.

Mr. Caleb Mamet and Assistant Steve Price, whether they dislike Anna or not, they shouldn’t have belittled her like this. What do they mean by tom, dick, or harry? What do they mean by outdated customs? They sent Anna to be Mrs. Mamet. Xaviera doesn’t deserve that position at all!

“Mr. Campbell, our CEO isn’t here to listen to your explanations. Since you don’t like our CEO’s wife, then he will take her away to rest.”

Steve snorted coldly, “It’s so late, and yet the birth mother called her daughter here to force her to divorce our CEO. Does the Campbell family gain any honor from that?”

As Caleb was about to leave, Jeremy approached quickly, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, my wife and daughter were just upset for a moment. Please don’t hold it against them. I just wanted to talk to Xaviera about her brother’s affairs. After all, Adrian is Xaviera’s brother. Can we just…”

“What happened before was Adrian’s fault, but… we are still family after all. Mr. Caleb Mamet, please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against him. How about we talk in the study?”

Caleb raised his eyebrows, nodding slightly.

Steve followed the two men upstairs, leaving only the mother and daughters downstairs.

Xaviera didn’t even look at the other two, got up, and walked outside.

“Wait!”
