Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 297: 297: Miss Woods Doesn’t Understand Human Language?

“I’ve told you, only close friends can call me Caleb, and you don’t qualify!” Caleb Mamet didn’t spare her feelings.

Zara Woods’s face turned pale, she looked at Xaviera Evans with a wronged expression.

“I, Caleb, am your friend.”

“Is it because Xaviera doesn’t like me calling you that way? But for so many years, I…” Zara choked on her words, “Caleb…”

Caleb’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Xaviera sneered: “Miss Woods, Caleb has already told you not to call him that, can’t you understand?”

Caleb wouldn’t even let her call him “Caleb,” yet she still did, and Zara was still playing the victim, so annoying!

Xaviera laughed coldly: “The name ‘Caleb’ can only be used by his grandmother and me. Do you think you deserve it?”

There was silence all around, and Zara Woods bit her lip tightly.

She hung her head low, almost in tears, her voice trembling, “Xaviera, I… I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’ve been calling him that since forever, it’s just a

habit.”

“Xaviera! Aren’t you being too much? It’s just a nickname, Zara has been calling him that for so many years, do you really have to be so harsh?”

Not far away, Jake Lindsey came running up in a fit of anger.

He said angrily, “Caleb, you and Zara have been friends since childhood, what’s wrong with using a more intimate name? Moreover…”

“I’ve warned Miss Woods before, she even promised not to call me that again. Furthermore, we are not close, having an intimate name would lead to misunderstandings.”

Caleb waved his hand, indicating to Steve Price, “If Miss Woods still can’t remember, you should remind her.”

“Yes!” Steve Price responded without hesitation. Zara Woods forced a smile with the corner of her mouth.

“Zara, let’s go! Why should we put up with their attitude?”

Jake Lindsey said angrily before leaving with Zara, “Xaviera! Just you wait, I won’t bother with you tonight in such an important occasion!”

Zara muttered quietly, “Xaviera, we’re leaving. If you like anything, let me know and I’ll get it for you as an apology.”

After saying that, Jake led Zara away angrily.

Xaviera rolled her eyes, what a stupid couple!

Zara Woods was not really as kind as she pretended to be, but Xaviera took her words seriously, especially since some of the jewelry that was being auctioned looked quite nice.

Since Zara said it, Xaviera would reluctantly accept it!

As soon as Zara Woods and Jake Lindsey took their seats, Jake was indignant:

“Zara, you shouldn’t have been so gentle with her, or she’ll always bully you! What qualifications does she have to attend the auction? Does she have money?”

Everyone looked over; even though the Woods family had offended Xavier Hamer, they were still upper-class people. Who were they mocking so loudly and arrogantly?

Who would dare to bully Miss Woods? Had they gone crazy?!

Zara sighed, “Jake, sometimes it’s better to have less trouble.”

“This is a charity auction, right? What is she doing here without any money?

What a waste! Why won’t she just leave?”

Zara tried to defend Xaviera, “Xaviera does have money, the jewelry she’s wearing is quite valuable. She’s definitely not short on money…”

“She spent all her money on luxury items and has none left to donate to the mountainous areas! Zara! Don’t speak up for her any more!”

Jake said loudly and proudly: “She has money but doesn’t donate! She is just a greedy and selfish bitch!”

Such a statement completely ruined Xaviera Evans’s image.

People all around looked at her with disdain; since they had all attended the charity gala, even if it was just a show, they should at least donate something to help children who were struggling with diseases. That could count as a good deed.

If they didn’t want to donate anything, why come to a charity event?

Zara Woods saw the people around her starting to gossip and couldn’t help revealing a triumphant smile, “Jake, Xaviera isn’t like that, she must have her difficulties.”

“She has her struggles, maybe she just doesn’t want to say so. Xaviera grew up in the countryside when she was younger, and it’s understandable that she doesn’t want to donate..”
