Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 932: You’ll Definitely Be a Great Actor
Chapter 932 -932: You’ll Definitely Be a Great Actor
As Zora Hughes spoke, tears suddenly fell, her sorrow immeasurable. On the surface, she was a gentle and kind cousin, never complaining even if her cousin made mistakes. Deep inside, however, she constantly hoped that Xaviera Evans would be humiliated and disliked by others. When that happened, everyone would say how vile Xaviera was and how unfit she was to be with Caleb Mamet. Only Zora Hughes could be the perfect wife for Mr. Caleb Mamet!
There were many women who liked Caleb Mamet, and Xaviera had seen plenty of angelic bitches, but Zora’s act wasn’t half-bad. She managed to deceive many of the guests, but it was still a far cry from Xaviera’s own acting skills.
Xaviera suddenly looked up, her gaze sharp as she fixed it on Zora Hughes. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, “Miss Hughes, what did you major in at college?”
Confused, Zora replied, “Me? Finance and perfumery, why do you ask?”
Xaviera sneered sarcastically, “I think you’re more suited for acting. You’d be a great actress!”
At first, Zora didn’t understand Xaviera’s meaning, but after a moment of hesitation, she froze, her gentle eyes suddenly filling with anger.
Xaviera! How could she be so arrogant? Why was she openly mocking her in front of everyone?
“Xaviera, I know you hate me, but I did it all for you,” Zora’s voice trembled, and she choked on her words, tears filling her eyes as she appeared wrongfully accused.
With a sardonic smile, Xaviera looked at her and scoffed, “Miss Hughes keeps saying she did it for me, but I clearly didn’t blame the waiter. Nor did I say I wanted to punish him.”
Everyone thought about it, and none of them recalled hearing Xaviera say anything of the sort.

“I never blamed anyone, but the waiter and Miss Hughes seemed to have conspired together, accusing me of being unreasonable and wildly misbehaving. Isn’t this blaming the victim?”
It was at this point that the guests realized that the waiter had almost run into Mrs. Mamet, causing Mr. Caleb Mamet’s clothes to get wet. The couple had made no accusations or punishments, but the waiter suddenly started crying, looking terrified as he begged for forgiveness. The waiter’s coffee had spilled on Mr. Mamet, and if anyone should be begging for forgiveness, it should be directed to him! Why did the waiter keep targeting Mrs. Mamet?
Additionally, when Miss Hughes had entered the room, she hadn’t bothered to understand the situation before accusing her cousin Xaviera of harshly accosting the waiter. She claimed that her actions were for Xaviera’s benefit, but were they really?
With her head bowed, Zora cried in grievance, “Xaviera, I’m sorry. When I walked in, I saw him begging for your forgiveness, so I jumped to the conclusion that you were going to punish him and spoke up on his behalf.”
Laughing, Xaviera looked up, “Sean Price.”
Sean Price immediately understood her meaning and respectfully addressed Mr. Mamet and Xaviera, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, Mrs. Mamet, please give me a moment. I’ll look into who the waiter was in contact with before and find out who instructed him to frame Mrs. Mamet.”
Zora shuddered upon hearing this, “Xaviera, I was just a little worried, so I misspoke. But the waiter really didn’t mean to do any harm. What are you asking Sean Price to investigate? Why make such a big deal out of it? Don’t ruin the banquet.”
“Not intentional?” Xaviera suddenly laughed, looking even more stunning.
She threw Caleb’s jacket on the floor, her voice filled with cold murderous intent, “Then open your eyes and see if it was intentional or not!”
When everyone took a closer look, they gasped and stepped back in shock. The jacket was already corroded with a few holes from the alcohol. If the coffee had splashed onto Mrs. Mamet’s face earlier, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
Eric Salt soon arrived with a medical kit, first checking Mr. Caleb Mamet’s condition before examining the alcohol-soaked jacket. “The coffee was poisoned. This poison has a strong corrosive effect. If it’s inhaled through the nose or taken into the mouth, it would immediately corrode the mucous membranes, eventually leading to suffocation and death.”
Fearful, everyone covered their mouths and noses. They never expected that someone would poison the coffee at a banquet. Was the target really Mrs. Mamet? If Mr. Caleb Mamet hadn’t protected her, wouldn’t she have either died or been gravely injured?
At this thought, everyone’s eyes turned to Zora Hughes, who had accused Mrs. Mamet of making things difficult for the waiter as soon as she walked in. Now that Mrs. Mamet wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter, Zora thought she was overreacting and would ruin the banquet. What position was she in to say such things?
