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 524: The Family's Disgrace is Widely Spread

Steve Price was shaking like a sieve. He had genuinely invested too much for his boss's happiness. His words were full of honesty, much like an eunuch loyal to an ancient emperor. After speaking his mind, he closed his eyes, prepared to face any consequences.

Unexpectedly, Caleb Mamet chuckled.

A shiver ran down Steve Price's spine. His boss's laughter usually meant serious consequences. But Caleb gave a firm nod.

"You're right," he said.

"I have to make an effort. How can I let another man in my wife's room?"

Steve Price was taken aback.

Before he could respond, Caleb stood up and left. Steve gazed at Caleb's back in bewilderment, relieved that their boss had finally seen sense.

...

An hour later...

Xaviera Evans slowly opened her eyes. The room was dreary, with minimal light seeping through the blackout curtains, but she noticed the imposing figure of a man by her bedside.

"Caleb?" she murmured.

Caleb's voice was hoarse as he responded, "Mmhmm."
