Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Rumor had it that Xaviera Evans had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Evans family to toss Xaviera Evans back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. Xaviera Evans: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. Xaviera Evans: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” The Evans family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… Scumbag guy: "Without the Evans family, you're nothing." Xaviera Evans: "If I'm kicked out of the Evans family, I'll be done for." Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.” Xaviera Evans: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." The scumbag guy and girl: "???" Rumor had it that the Mamet family's youngest son, Caleb Mamet, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. Xaviera Evans: "Is someone looking down on me?" One day, Xaviera Evans saw one of Caleb Mamet's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! Caleb Mamet inched closer with every step. "Xaviera, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" Xaviera Evans: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"

Chapter 858: The Swift Family's 'Business'

Initially, Xaviera Evans thought this task wasn't particularly dangerous. After all, those who planned to sell her to the brothel wouldn't harm her. Plus, even if they tried, those weaklings would be no match for her. Moreover, the killers of Lingo Pavilion would follow her and ensure her safety.

"Don't speak." Caleb Mamet held her tightly in his arms, taking shallow breaths. "Mrs. Mamet is about to do something important; how could I, as your husband, let you face danger alone?"

In the darkness, Caleb gripped her hand tightly, giving her a sense of security, as if he was afraid she might be scared.

She didn't know how long he had been waiting in the truck for her; his body was slightly chilly, but his lips were warm as they gently and tirelessly kissed the woman in his arms as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

"No... Caleb, you shouldn't..."
