Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Mr. Mamet Forces a Marriage
Will Mamet was barely containing his rage.
Zara Woods’s delicate body trembled incessantly, and tears streamed down her face. “Caleb, I know you like Xaviera now, but you two are not compatible. Besides, we are already engaged. In front of so many people, why can’t you just…”
“Zara Woods, can you never stop?!” Yigol Mamet roared. “Regardless of whether Xaviera and Caleb are suitable, they are not divorced yet. What qualification do you have to be engaged to Caleb, and since when did the Mamet family have such a rule that one can marry two wives? Can’t you tell that the Mamet family is not like the old man who is known for being passionate?”
Seeing his youngest son mock him, Will Mamet couldn’t help but become furious.
“Caleb, what do you want eventually? Zara is Miss Woods, and she’s the right match for our Mamet family. What are you unhappy about?”
“Or, are you afraid that Xaviera won’t agree, so you’re unwilling?”
Caleb’s expression was indifferent.
Will Mamet was straightforward: “You don’t have to worry; Xaviera has already agreed to divorce you. The reason I’m announcing your engagement today is because…”
“Xaviera has agreed!”
The crowd gasped.
Caleb’s expression turned cold.
Will Mamet snorted: “The Woods family went to find Xaviera, and after she took their money, she agreed to divorce you. Caleb, at this point, you’re still infatuated with her. She never truly cared about you and may have already run off with another man!”
As soon as the words came out, Zara Woods began to sob. “Mr. Mamet, don’t say it anymore. After all, Xaviera was Caleb’s ex-wife. Even though she left, leave her with some dignity. Caleb, she’s gone, so let it go, okay?”
Zara Woods lowered her head and smiled sinisterly.
By now, Xaviera might have been dismembered.
The killers from Lingo Pavilion have always been reliable and would leave no trace. Even if discovered, it would be due to an accident, with no suspicion falling on her.
Caleb’s gaze fell on Zara Woods, and seeing her smug expression, his heart skipped a beat.
Zara Woods was so sure that Xaviera was gone—could she have already sent someone to deal with her?
Caleb glanced at Sean Price, who immediately understood and hurried to leave. However, halfway through the journey, he was stopped by Will Mamet’s bodyguard.
Will Mamet pretended to be amiable: “Caleb, Xaviera is already gone, and your marriage to Zara has been decided. So stop making a fuss. In the future, you’ll know that everything I did was for your benefit.”
Everyone was jittery, well aware that Mr. Mamet was forcing the marriage.
If Mr. Caleb Mamet didn’t agree to the proposal today, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave.
Facing the tense father-son duo from the Mamet family, everyone held their breath in fear.
With Zara Woods crying non-stop and her pitiful sobs, she said, “Caleb, we’ve come this far. Please don’t oppose Mr. Mamet’s wishes.”
Seeing that Caleb kept his silence, Will Mamet couldn’t help but yell: “Caleb, do you know why I wanted you to marry Zara Woods? Do you know where Xaviera has gone?”
Everyone curiously looked at Will Mamet.
Caleb’s eyes turned gloomy.
Will Mamet snorted: “I knew that you married Xaviera to provoke me. She disrespected her elders and was so unruly that she wasn’t suitable to be the wife of the Mamet family. That’s why I told her about your accident and that you’re disabled, implying how much she would need to care for you. But as soon as she heard it, she refused to proceed and not only demanded a divorce but also extorted money from us before leaving.”
“Caleb, I just wanted to test her, but I didn’t expect her to be so heartless. I tested Zara with the same words, but she said she was willing to stay by your side and take care of you for a lifetime, even without a name. Xaviera never loved you; it’s Zara who truly loves you.”
Zara Woods covered her mouth and silently shed tears.
At that moment, Jake Lindsey rushed over. “Caleb, I just don’t understand why you spoil Xaviera so much. She was once Moore Mamet’s fiancée, and after marrying you, she’s always been causing trouble. On the other hand, Zara is gentle and sensible, always admiring you. She hasn’t been in a relationship for more than ten years, just waiting for you. Now, if you break the engagement, how can she live with herself?!”
