Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Ruthless Extermination
Once the Lindsey family’s eldest young master takes over, Jake and Mrs. Lindsey, the illegitimate child and mistress, will sooner or later be kicked out of the house.
Standing still, Jake was shocked with his mouth wide open. He then softened and fell to the ground, “Caleb! I’m your good friend! I just saw Zara being bullied and said a few words. Are you going to… kill me without mercy?”
Xaviera Evans sneered, “Mr. Lindsey, I’ve always been curious as to why you wanted Zara to step in between Caleb and me. Turns out your mom was the mistress!”
“Do you want to prove to the world that being a mistress is acceptable? That as long as it’s someone you like, you can snatch them without considering morality and decency?”
Yigol Mamet coldly snorted, “Jake, you’ve helped Zara so many times, causing the Lindsey family’s business to suffer every time. For a woman who doesn’t love you, you’d rather sacrifice your own family. If your father doesn’t kick you out of the house, won’t the Lindsey family fail because of you!”
Jake clenched his teeth. How dare Yigol, a playboy, criticize him? Everyone in Libanan knows that Yigol is a spendthrift!
Just as he was about to respond, people couldn’t help but mock.
“Miss Woods is so cunning. Pretending to be innocent and letting Jake fight for her. When things go wrong, Jake is left to shoulder the blame. If this continues, the Lindsey family will be utterly ruined!”
“This Jake is really brainless. For a scheming woman, he almost lost the entire Lindsey family, and even implicated his own mother, exposing her past affair as the mistress!”
Lindsey’s wife, you can’t blame anyone else at this point. This is your son’s own doing. If the Lindsey family’s business is affected in the future, it’s all because of your son!”
Mrs. Lindsey’s eyes widened in fury, and she shrieked as she charged in front of Zara, slapping her with all her strength.
“Bitch! You caused my son’s downfall! You jinx!”
“Everybody knows that you’re into Mr. Caleb Mamet. Yet you string our Jake along, claiming to be friends while seducing him in secret. Otherwise, why would Jake be so devoted to you? You’re not worthy to marry Mr. Mamet!”
Mrs. Lindsey’s vicious slap left Zara’s ears buzzing, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Despair filled Jake’s eyes, which were now hollow and lifeless. Having been born with a silver spoon, he had never experienced hardship. But now that he was being kicked out of the house, it would only be harder for him.
All he did was stand up for Zara, so why did he have to lose his inheritance?
At this point, Caleb slowly raised his eyes, coldly scanning the Woods family.
Covering her swollen cheek, Zara trembled in fear.
Caleb smirked, “Having dealt with the foolish Lindsey, it’s time to turn to you.”
When they heard this, Mr. Woods immediately fell to his knees with fear, “Mr., Mr. Caleb Mamet…”
Suddenly, all the Woods family’s phones rang simultaneously. In just an instant, their company was forcibly acquired, and all their assets were frozen. Some of their shops were even sold at a low price.
One of Libanan’s renowned aristocratic families vanished in the blink of an eye.
In the end, the Woods family’s villa was forcibly recovered. They had no more liquid assets to their name, only a few pieces of jewelry and cash left as private belongings in their possession.
“Mr. Caleb Mamet! Please spare the Woods family! After all, Zara is your friend, and Mrs. Mamet is standing here safe and sound. There’s nothing more to…”
A cold glance from Caleb silenced Mr. Woods in an instant.
“Caleb, let it be,” Will Mamet frowned unhappily. This was an engagement banquet for the Mamet and Woods families, but it had turned into such a fiasco. He had to step in and uphold justice.
Now that the evidence of Zara hiring murderers was clear, why didn’t the Woods family admit their guilt and seek Caleb’s forgiveness?
“Xaviera, you’ve suffered a lot, but the Woods and Mamet families have been friends for generations. As long as you forgive the Woods family, I’ll compensate you properly.”
With his hands behind his back, Will Mamet adopted an elder’s attitude, seemingly discussing with Xaviera but actually ordering her with authority.
