Chapter 311-315
311 Chapter 311: Your Competitor is Caleb Mamet
Now that Winni Drew’s son, Boyd Drew, has grown up, is he going to take revenge for his biological mother? To return to the Mamet family and take revenge on the mistress and illegitimate child? (1)
Anyway, Boyd Drew is the real heir of the Mamet family.
Of the two, one is the legitimate eldest son of the Mamet family, and the other is the powerful illegitimate child. Who will be the final winner?
If the two fight, it would be like a clash of thunder and fire!
Boyd Drew slowly approached Xaviera Evans and asked gently, “Does Miss Evans know what the last auction item is?”
He had a smile in the corner of his mouth, looking very gentle, “If Miss Evans doesn’t mind, I’d like to win the last auction item and give it to you, how about that?”
Everyone gasped.
Xaviera furrowed her eyebrows.
Caleb Mamet also looked at her.
Everyone present knew the relationship between Caleb Mamet and Boyd Drew.
Although they didn’t know who Xaviera was to Caleb, she was, after all, the woman Mr. Caleb had brought. If she accepted Boyd’s gift, it would be awkward.
Xaviera cursed Boyd in her heart, thinking,: this man is sick, thinking Caleb is easy to bully? Giving gifts to Caleb’s woman was clearly provoking.
Regardless of Caleb’s reaction, she couldn’t bear it.
Boyd spoke gently again, “Miss Evans.”
The corner of Caleb’s eyes narrowed, and those who knew him understood that he was not pleased.
When Mr. Caleb loses his temper, the consequences can be severe.
Just as the auction official was about to step forward, Caleb heard Xaviera’s thoughts.
‘Is he sick, giving me something and expecting me to accept? Do I know him?‘
‘Caleb has a good temper and won’t scold him, but I can’t let Caleb be wronged!‘
Caleb glanced sideways at Xaviera, his gaze somewhat puzzled.
Where did Xaviera see that he had a good temper?
With a gloomy face, she asked in a cold, distant voice, “Mr. Drew, are you aware of what the last
auction item is?”
Boyd hesitated not at all, “Of course, Mr. Caleb knows too.”
Xaviera chuckled coldly, “Mr. Drew said he wanted to give me a gift?”
Everyone stared wide–eyed.
Could it be… that Xaviera was going to accept?
Wouldn’t that make Caleb lose face?
The atmosphere around Caleb was icy cold. The crowd held their breath, fearing to provoke the wrath of this plague.
Only Steve Price appeared indifferent, knowing his wife would never side with someone else.
Boyd looked interested, “If Miss Evans is willing to accept Drew’s gift, Drew would be very happy.”
Xaviera turned to look at the official behind her, “What is the last auction item?”
Initially, the official intended to reveal it later to keep everyone in suspense, but considering the current situation, it could not be hidden any longer.
He had no choice but to say tremblingly, “The last auction item is the sovereignty of an island, surrounded by the sea and with beautiful scenery, pure and pollution–free.”
As soon as his words fell, a wave of exclamations arose in the room.
It turned out that the last item auctioned was not an object but sovereignty over an island.
Buying the island was like having one’s territory, a space that belonged entirely to oneself. Undoubtedly, the scenery and climate there must be good, and giving the island to any woman would likely make them very tempted.
The women in the audience all looked enviously at Xaviera.
However, Xaviera didn’t seem surprised at all, “So it’s an island. I really want it.”
Boyd smiled slightly, “Miss Evans… are you willing to accept it?”
Caleb’s face darkened, his eyes deep, and a burst of cold emanated from them.
Xaviera casually brushed her hair back, her face adorned with a sweet smile.
“Of course, why not accept a free gift!”
She smiled enchantingly, “But just now, Caleb said he would bid on the last item to give it to me, and he hasn’t raised his placard today, it must be for the last item, right?”
“Caleb said he would give it to me, and so did Mr. Drew. So who will win in the end?”
Xaviera laughed meaningfully, “I do want to accept Mr. Drew’s gift! But… are you sure you can win?”
“Because your competitor is Caleb Mamet!”
The smile on Boyd’s face gradually disappeared.
Everyone understood that the island was not essential to Xaviera, but she deliberately wanted to make Boyd uncomfortable.
312 Chapter 312: Boyd Drew has good psychological quality
Everyone in the room knew that the glory of the Mamet family today was all thanks to Caleb’s efforts, and had nothing to do with Will Mamet or Boyd Drew. 1
Although Boyd was Winni’s son, that didn’t mean he could erase others‘ efforts and achievements just because he was the son of the original wife.
Yigol Mamet also didn’t like Boyd’s pretentious demeanor but had to go along with his identity, so he could only whisper, “Drew… brother, if Xaviera accepts your gift, Caleb will be very angry, and he will definitely do his best to compete with you. He has too much money to spend, are you sure you can
beat him?”
Boyd’s forehead veins bulged.
Yigol: “In my opinion, if Xaviera doesn’t accept your gift, it’s also for your own good. If she really wants it and you can’t get it, that would be the real embarrassment!”
Boyd clenched his teeth.
Caleb looked indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him, which made Boyd burn with
rage.
Why was Caleb so lucky that so many people stood up for him and even blocked him?
It should have been Yigol and Xaviera that belonged to him!
Although Yigol’s voice was not loud, it still reached the ears of everyone. They all nodded in agreement.
It was absolutely foolish for Boyd to compete with Caleb!
He calmed down a bit and spoke softly, “Miss Evans.”
Xaviera looked up and raised her eyebrows.
“Since Miss Evans likes it, Drew will do his best.”
Xaviera sighed secretly.
– ‘Boyd has a good psychological quality! At this time, he can still be as calm and elegant as a gentleman!
– ‘In fact, he should also know in his heart who’s territory this is today. As long as Caleb gives a glance, who cares if he’s the young master of the Drew family, someone will immediately take him out. No matter how powerful the Drew family is, it’s not as powerful as Caleb!
–
– ‘Everyone around is laughing at him, but he can still remain calm, you can’t be too careful when trying to achieve something great!‘
Caleb’s eyes turned cold.
Was this woman praising Boyd in her heart?
It was just a little mocking, he had been used to it since he was a child.
After all, he suffered a hundred times, a thousand times more pain during his childhood.
–
‘Caleb has made so many efforts to achieve today’s career. Why should Boyd just take everything away because of his identity?”
– ‘Poor Caleb, sigh! Why do they have to treat him like this?‘
Caleb’s heart tightened, and a hint of warmth seemed to flow into his dark and cold heart.
Soon, Boyd took his seat, looking as calm as if nothing had happened.
Everyone knew that the final bidders for the last auction item were Boyd and Caleb, so they all gave up competing.
The starting price for the island was one billion dollars.
Caleb raised his card, and Boyd followed closely.
Without realizing it, they reached three billion dollars. Boyd hesitated and looked at Caleb. “Mr. Caleb Mamet, why don’t you ask her if she’s willing to accept your gift?”
Xaviera’s face darkened, ‘Ask your sister! Are you trying to provoke the relationship between me and
Caleb?‘
Caleb didn’t even lift his eyelids, as if Boyd was just air.
Boyd was calm enough, talking to himself, “If she’s not willing, can Mr. Mamet force it like before?”
Before? What did he mean?
Xaviera was a bit confused.
But Boyd didn’t say anything more, continuing to raise the price to five billion dollars.
At this point, everyone became nervous, curious as to who would end up with the island.
Only the two of them in the room could take out five billion and not go bankrupt.
Caleb’s net worth was immeasurable, and Boyd even controlled some of the world’s precious elements, so of course, he was also wealthy.
Seeing this, people whispered, “Judging from their looks, this island will definitely go for more than 10 billion dollars. We don’t understand the world of the rich.”
“Mr. Caleb’s net worth is over one hundred billion dollars, so this is just a small amount for him. Besides, once he wins the island, it can be developed into a tourist destination, and he’ll make the money back sooner or later.”
When the price was called to seven billion dollars, Boyd paused, “Mr. Mamet is richer than I imagined!”
313 Chapter 313: 930 Million Dollars is Enough
Xaviera Evans frowned instantly. O
What did he mean by that? Was he saying those billions would all be his later? Was he deliberately trying to provoke Caleb Mamet?
Just as Xaviera was about to speak, Caleb casually said, “Mr. Drew seems a little too narrow–minded.”
Xaviera: “…”
She felt dizzy with anger, but Caleb was known to have a sharp tongue, so how could he be bullied?
Boyd Drew’s expression was calm as he raised his bid to 80 billion dollars, “It seems Mr. Caleb Mamet is determined to win this island?”
Caleb snickered as he held up his sign again.
It was about to reach 10 billion dollars, as expected.
However…
Caleb: “930 million dollars.”
Everyone: “???”
What was going on? What was the deal with the extra 3 billion dollars? This didn’t seem like Caleb’s style at all?
Boyd Drew’s face darkened in an instant.
Xaviera was also somewhat puzzled. She had thought that Caleb would directly bid 10 billion dollars. What was the deal with the 930 million?
But seeing Boyd Drew’s gloomy face, Xaviera knew that Caleb had won.
No need to add to 10 billion dollars, just 930 million dollars would suffice.
Boyd Drew suppressed his emotions and sighed helplessly, “Since Mr. Caleb Mamet likes this island so much, Drew will not compete.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as this battle finally came to an end.
“You’re not giving up, you just can’t compete,” Caleb suddenly spoke up. “You just can’t beat me.”
Boyd Drew couldn’t compete?
Caleb’s eyes flashed a trace of mockery, fleeting in an instant.
Boyd Drew was simply no match for him, that was a fact.
“You only have 920 million dollars in assets under your name, so 930 million is enough to make you admit defeat.”
Caleb’s expression was indifferent as he leisurely said, “You still want to give her gifts?”
Boyd Drew appeared composed, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, “Boyd Drew has a calculated net worth of only 920 million
dollars, but Mr. Caleb Mamet…”
That
person paused for a moment before continuing, “This 930 million dollars doesn’t mean much to Mr. Caleb Mamet.”
Indeed, it didn’t mean much.
Just by looking at Caleb’s indifferent expression, it was clear that this money was nothing more than a number to him.
Boyd Drew forcibly suppressed his anger. He took out all his assets but still couldn’t compare to even half of Caleb’s.
This disparity made Boyd Drew feel powerless, his eyes full of gloom.
After Caleb won the auction for the island, Steve Price went directly to make the payment.
Steve Price suddenly said, “Miss Evans‘ over 100 million dollars will also be paid by our president. He said that the name of the foundation could be called ‘Chasing Caleb‘ or ‘Captain Caleb! Anyway, it has
to be chosen from these two names.”
Everyone: “…”
Chasing Caleb?
This was clearly a combination of Caleb and Xaviera’s names! So what was their relationship?
At that moment, Xavier Hamer just happened to walk by. A few people whispered, “Do you know the relationship between Xaviera Evans and Albert Sullivan?”
“No idea.”
“I heard that after Xaviera was driven out of her family when she was young, she was adopted by the Sullvian family and called Albert her brother. Since Albert and Xavier Hamer are sworn brothers, it’s only natural for Xavier to treat Albert’s sister like his own sister.”
Everyone suddenly realized.
That person continued, “So Mr. Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans are so close because of Albert?”
The others chimed in, “Yeah! Albert is Xaviera’s older brother, so he’s been protecting her all along. Xavier Hamer also takes good care of Xaviera as if he’s her brother, so Mr. Caleb Mamet must be!”
After Steve Price made the payment, he returned to the auction hall, “President, it’s done.”
Caleb nodded and showed Xaviera some photos of the island on his phone, introducing her to the surrounding scenery.
Suddenly, a few people came over with ingratiating smiles on their faces, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, we didn’t know about Miss Evans‘ relationship with you before. We may have offended you, please don’t take it
to heart.”
Caleb raised his eyes, and several people spoke up in succession, “Miss Evans, we were deceived by Zara Woods before and had some misunderstandings about you. If we knew you had this kind of
relationship with Mr. Caleb Mamet, we wouldn’t have thought too much about it.”
Xaviera’s eyes widened.
It’s over! Did people find out about their marriage?
Seeing the hypocritical faces of these people, Xaviera felt her heart turn cold.
314 Chapter 314: Which Brother Do You Think I Like?
At that time, the Woods family had mocked her as just a plaything, not even qualified to enter the auction. Now, knowing that she’s Mrs. Mamet, they hurriedly apologize?
Seeing Xaviera Evans not respond, several women felt embarrassed. “Miss Evans, we didn’t know. We never thought that you and Mr. Caleb Mamet were…”
They leaned forward slightly, “We were also misled by the Woods family, that’s why we thought like
that.”
Xaviera flushed and quickly waved her hand, “It’s fine, but how did you find out?”
Hearing Xaviera’s words, everyone was even more certain about her relationship with Caleb.
They were solemn, they had to make amends with Xaviera today; otherwise, it would bring disastrous consequences to their own families.
Several people wished they could kneel down, “We also guessed it. If you and Mr. Caleb Mamet had told us earlier, we wouldn’t have dared to offend! If Miss Evans doesn’t want others to know, we won’t say a word!”
Xaviera looked up at Caleb.
He sat beside her, one hand resting on the chair, looking lazy yet his dominance was evident. Everyone could tell that, since Mr. Caleb Mamet wasn’t saying anything, he knew about their relationship; they had to get along well with Xaviera in the future.
Mr. Caleb Mamet’s sister, that’s a real wealthy family’s daughter! This was supreme glory.
Even though Zara was Caleb’s childhood friend, he showed no mercy for the sake of his sister.
Friends and siblings were one and the same.
A few ladies flattered the situation, “Mr. Caleb Mamet is so good to Miss Evans!”
Xaviera blushed, shyly lowering her head.
How did this news get out? She felt so embarrassed!
Xaviera spoke shyly, “We just got married…” not long ago, so we haven’t made an official
announcement. We hope you all won’t spread the word.
Before she could finish, a woman’s voice was heard-
“Although you’re not real siblings, Mr. Caleb Mamet only has you as a sister, he really treats you well, having such a brother like Mr. Caleb Mamet, you’re so fortunate!”
Xaviera: “…”
She swallowed her words, coughed violently, and her cheeks turned red.
She looked at the woman in disbelief, “What? Caleb and I are siblings?”
Everyone: “Yeah! We all know Mr. Caleb Mamet is your brother. Miss Evans, you don’t have to hide it. Albert Sullivan is your brother, Xavier Hamer is your brother, and of course, Mr. Caleb Mamet is your
brother too!”
Xaviera swallowed, forced to nod under everyone’s determined gazes, “Yes…we’re…siblings.”
After everyone left, Xaviera finally let out a sigh of relief.
Who knew that suddenly, a faint voice from beside her said, “Siblings?”
Xaviera’s heart skipped a beat, slowly turning around.
Caleb smirked, “You have quite a few brothers.”
Xaviera felt a chill run down her spine. This version of Caleb was too terrifying, seemingly smiling, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
She did have many brothers, nothing wrong with that!
No!
Xaviera looked at him curiously-
-‘Is Caleb jealous? Why is he so vinegar–flavored?‘
-‘Is he jealous of my brothers?‘
Caleb blushed and silently turned away.
Xaviera squeezed a pleasing smile, approaching him and speaking cutely, “Caleb, you’re also my brother, but you’re different from them.”
Caleb’s b*dy heated up, trying to suppress the agitation in his heart.
Her delicate scent wafted over him, her soft b*dy pressed against his, and she spoke with a voice soft to the bone. What was she trying to do?
Caleb’s eyes darkened, his voice hoarse, “I’m not your brother.”
Xaviera pouted shyly, her eyes full of temptation, “Actually, I have a favorite brother in my heart. Do you want to know who it is?”
Caleb felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
She and those brothers, growing up together since childhood, thinking of those unrelated men being with her day and night, Caleb felt a wave of irritation.
Xaviera sighed, “Ah! I thought you knew clearly!
315 Chapter 315: Mr. Caleb Mamet’s Cherry Blossom Luck is Quite Strong!
Caleb Mamet’s thin l*ps tightened, and he lifted his leg to leave.
If Xaviera said the name of that man, he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would kill him.
Xaviera was taken aback, not expecting Caleb to have such a temper, like a sulking wife.
She quickly got up and chased after him, “Caleb, you really don’t know?”
“Don’t you even want to know which brother I like the most?”
The man furrowed his brows, and his breath gradually grew heavier.
Although they had met ten years ago, they had always stayed in touch through the internet and had never met in person. Whenever she faced difficulties, he couldn’t be by her side.
Those brothers, on the other hand, had always accompanied her, and they were all very kind to her.
Caleb didn’t know who she liked the most, but he would be jealous of anyone, nonetheless.
The man closed his eyes, his voice indifferent: “Which brother you like the most has nothing to do with me.”
Xaviera looked innocent.
–“This guy can’t take a joke. Does he think I would say one of those four brothers?‘
Caleb’s eyes snapped open.
Could it be that she had other brothers besides those four?
Caleb felt a sudden pang in his heart, not wanting to know who that man was.
-‘Hey! Wait for me! Why are you walking so fast?”
-‘Of course, my favorite brother is him. Senior fellow is also a brother!’
Caleb stopped abruptly, and Xaviera, unable to stop in time, bumped into his back.
Xaviera’s nose hurt from the impact, and she became angry.
She just wanted to express her love, and if Caleb didn’t want to listen, he could have just said so. What did it mean for him to leave her behind and walk away?
What a despicable man!
The words senior fellow is also a brother‘ still echoed in Caleb’s ears, dissolving his anger and replacing it with warmth.
He turned around, trying to pull Xaviera towards him.
Xaviera snorted: “Don’t touch me. Go on your own. I’m going to find
my
brother!”
-‘Humph! If you don’t come back to find me, I’ll never talk to you again!”
Caleb chuckled lightly, holding her wrist, pulling her into his embrace, his laughter deep.
The little girl was angry.
Caleb’s voice was gentle: “Go ahead.”
Xaviera was choked up. Why was Caleb laughing?
Wasn’t he just jealous? How did he suddenly become fine with it and even allow her to find her
brother?
What kind of tactic was this?
Xaviera didn’t care about his intentions, and she huffed, “I’m going to find him, I’m going to find my favorite brother and make you jealous! If you can, go find a sister!”
As soon as her words fell, Caleb’s hand slightly loosened, his gaze deep as he stared at her.
Xaviera immediately grew nervous.
-‘Oh my God! Does Caleb actually have a sister he likes?‘
-‘Caleb, I warn you, if you say you have a sister you like, I’m divorcing you! It’s over!”
Xaviera stared at him, only to hear Caleb slowly say, “Mmm.”
“??”
Did Caleb just respond, or had she misheard?
Afraid that Xaviera hadn’t heard, Caleb repeated, “I also have a sister.”
Xaviera’s expression stiffened, and her treasured calmness was instantly thrown out the window.
-‘He has a sister? He actually has another woman! Which little b*tch is it? Is it Zara Woods? Or Vita Coriell? It’s neither of them; there are other women!‘
-‘He has a fiancée, a childhood friend, and a dear sister. Mr. Caleb Mamet’s love life is quite prosperous!‘
-‘Caleb has no biological sisters, and the Mamet family doesn’t associate with him. Where did he get a sister? I need to ask Yigol. He must know!‘
Caleb clearly heard her thoughts, and the corners of his l*ps curled up.
He didn’t expect Mrs. Mamet to be so jealous!
Xaviera was extremely anxious, but she still tried to maintain her composure: “So what if you have? What does it have to do with me?”
-‘Ahhh! I’m going crazy! Who is his dear sister? I can’t take it!”
Caleb: “.”
He chuckled lightly, holding the person in his arms tighter, and whispered in her ear, “Should I go find
her?”
Xaviera’s heart ached, and she felt a sour sensation welling up, her eyes stinging.
However, she stubbornly refused to admit she cared, her voice full of grievance.
“Go ahead! Show off that you have a sister! I still have brothers!”
Caleb calmly guided her: “Guess who my sister is?”
