Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 846 - : Childhood Friend
Chapter 846 -846: Childhood Friend
Xaviera Evans stared blankly for a moment, her voice trembling slightly, “I’m not going, what are you doing going there? Don’t you always dislike those kinds of occasions?”
There were a few seconds of silence in the air, and Caleb Mamet chuckled lightly, “How can I buy you a necklace if I don’t go? Don’t worry, I will be back soon.”
She didn’t want a necklace, she was just afraid that he would recognize her. With her disguise though, he shouldn’t be able to see through it, so she just needed to avoid him as much as possible.
With that thought, Xaviera could finally let her guard down.
Caleb glanced at his watch, realizing the time was near, he rose and left, then ordered, “Steve Price, go buy some medicine for Mrs. Mamet and take good care of her at home.”
Taking care of her? Xaviera found that Caleb seemed to be having Steve watch her. But that’s not a problem, with Steve Price’s intelligence, he couldn’t keep an eye on her. All she had to do was lock the door and pretend to rest in the bedroom.
...
After Caleb left, Steve hurriedly bought medicine and delivered it to the bedroom.
Looking at the pile of medicine on the table, Xaviera decided that, after concluding her mission, she would give Edith Bennett a beating!
…
At six forty in the evening, Caleb Mamet appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. Among those present were elites and tycoons from various fields, as well as journalists from various television stations.
At this time, Tracy Swift had already entered the hall wearing a haute couture gown. She smiled faintly for the cameras. Wright Swift and Mrs. Swift stood beside her, being interviewed, announcing their plan to open a branch in Libanan.
After the journalists inquired about the Swift Group’s developments, they all approached Tracy, “Miss Swift, you have always been in Imperial City managing the company. Now that you suddenly came to Libanan, are you here to take over the Swift Group’s branch?”
Tracy answered with a smile, “I came to Libanan to improve my abilities. I am still young and have much to learn, so it’s not certain whether I’ll take over the company.”
“Miss Swift, have you consulted any masters?”
Tracy giggled shyly, “Indeed, but I cannot divulge the gentleman’s name.”
Seeing Tracy’s coy expression, everyone knew who she was referring to, especially since rumors of a collaboration between the Swift Group and the Mamet Corporation had been circulating around Libanan recently.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Mr. Caleb Mamet!”
Everyone shuddered, thinking that was quite a bold move, even if they knew who she was talking about, they couldn’t just blurt it out!
To their surprise, they turned around and saw that Caleb had indeed arrived.
The man wore an expensive suit, his eyes deep and his expression indifferent, unchanging even in the face of the cameras, becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.
Tracy’s heart pounded at the sight of him, then she furrowed her brows, “Didn’t Mr. Caleb Mamet say he wouldn’t come? Why did he suddenly show up?”
Upon hearing her words, the journalists latched onto the key point, rushing over and eagerly asking, “Does Miss Swift know Mr. Caleb Mamet? Is the mysterious ‘Mister’ in Miss Swift’s words none other than Mr. Caleb Mamet?”
“Why didn’t Mrs. Mamet attend the event with Mr. Caleb Mamet? He should have brought his partner to this occasion.”
“Speaking of Miss Mamet, she also doesn’t have a male companion. The two are actually quite compatible!”
Listening to their words, Tracy’s cheeks turned slightly pink as she coyly explained, “My family and I have always admired Mr. Caleb Mamet, and he and I were childhood playmates. However, we don’t keep in touch as often these days, so…”
“So, Miss Swift and Mr. Caleb Mamet are childhood friends!” a reporter exaggeratedly said.
With a gentle smile on her face and her cheeks blushing, Tracy spoke softly, “Not exactly childhood friends, just acquaintances. I came to Libanan this time originally to wish Madame Mamet a happy birthday, but later decided to stay due to other reasons.”
Upon hearing her words, the reporters’ eyes lit up, and they became excited, as if they had caught wind of a major news scoop.
Miss Swift had visited the Mamet family to wish the elder a happy birthday, which definitely meant she and Mr. Caleb Mamet had crossed paths. They were of similar age, and both attractive, so there might be some sparks flying between the two.
“So, Miss Swift and Mr. Caleb Mamet are friends. Do you know why Mr. Caleb Mamet attended the charity event? He has never been interested in such occasions, usually sending representatives to donate money instead of appearing in person.”
“Could it be that Mr. Caleb Mamet is planning on bidding for something?”

As one question after another was thrown at her, Tracy remained unfazed, still maintaining a gracious smile, “It’s possible…”
“If you have any questions, you might as well ask me directly.” A cold voice came from behind everyone, its icy aloofness sending chills down their spines.
