Chapter 567: Chapter 567: The Gentle Mr. Mamet from the Woods Family

Xaviera Evans exclaimed, “Ah… Caleb?”

Caleb Mamet was freezing cold, yet his eyes were burning like fire, sweat beading on his forehead. He looked very nervous, while Sean Price and Steve Price stood behind him with their heads lowered in trepidation.

Xaviera was slightly nervous, “I… I’m just curious…”

“I know.”

Xaviera: “…” This time, her delicate and weak image was shattered once again.

Caleb’s breathing gradually steadied as he held Xaviera in his arms with trembling desperation. “You… don’t listen to her nonsense. I would never hurt you.”

Xaviera felt a tremor in her heart.

He was afraid, fearing that she would leave him because of Mrs. Woods’ wild accusations.

Xaviera smiled faintly, “Caleb, no matter who you are, I will not leave you. I didn’t take her words to heart at all.”

Caleb never harmed innocent people; the fate of the Woods family was their own fault and didn’t deserve pity.

Xaviera liked Caleb and she wouldn’t change her feelings just because of other people’s words. She also believed that Caleb felt the same way about her.

…

After leaving the dungeon, Xaviera went straight back to her bedroom to rest and unexpectedly slept until the next morning.

Caleb knocked on the door and walked in. “Xaviera, the weather is nice today. Let’s go shopping, shall we?”

Xaviera nodded, as she had not been shopping for a long time.

The two got in the car and Caleb casually suggested, “Let’s go to the International Mall. There’s a shop owned by the Woods family there. It’s now under the management of Jayden Woods. He gave us a gift card, so why not check it out?”

The Woods family?

Xaviera was puzzled. Weren’t the Woods family’s companies all broken up by now? Is there still someone in charge of the family’s stores?

Xaviera hesitated for a moment, and asked with doubt, “Jayden Woods?”

She had heard of him before, Zara Woods’ brother.

“All the people in the Woods family have been arrested, but why didn’t that Mr. Mamet show up? Isn’t he Zara’s brother? His parents and sister are in an unknown place, so why hasn’t he come to beg you?”

Caleb’s smile was laden with meaning.

Xaviera curiously picked up her phone and searched for information about the Woods Group. She saw a live press conference.

The man sitting at the table had an erect posture, was wearing a suit and had slightly reddened eyes—a face filled with grief.

Caleb glanced at him and sneered, “What a good actor.”

Xaviera: “…”

This Mr. Mamet was completely different from the impression she had. She thought that since Zara was willful and cruel, Mr. Mamet must have had a similar temperament to Jake Lindsey, but he actually looked quite gentle.

Many people online praised the new head of the Woods family.

[Poor Mr. Mamet, he is again salvaging the Woods family.]

[Again? Has this happened before?]

[Six years ago, when the Woods family’s business encountered difficulties, they all fled abroad, leaving Jayden to clean up the mess. Jayden originally had his own successful company overseas. When he learned about the bankruptcy of the Woods family, he directly gave all of the shares to Zara. It was with that money that she founded Bright Day Studio. Jayden was supposed to have a share in Bright Day Studio, but he didn’t take it.]

[I heard he took out all his savings, worked hard to keep the Woods family’s company afloat, and provided them a chance to breathe. But who would have guessed that once the Woods family got back on their feet, they kicked Jayden out. He originally had his own career and company, but ended up being left with nothing. So he had to return overseas and start over.]

Someone below was curious: [Jayden is a Woods family member too; why did they do that to him?]

[Jayden is not the biological son of Mr. Woods. According to their generation, Mr. Woods would be his uncle, and Zara his cousin. Although they are related, they are not blood relatives. Jayden’s biological parents met with misfortune, and the Woods family turned a blind eye, even seizing the shares and company that originally belonged to Jayden. They left him to fend for himself, and Jayden had no choice but to continue his business overseas. Zara and her family are too heartless. They might have been the ones behind the troubles of Jayden’s parents.]

[You’re right. That family is capable of hiring hitmen, poisoning people, and much more! I heard that Jayden’s parents died mysteriously, and their property was snatched away by Zara’s family. They left behind only a son who was driven out of the country by the Woods family.]
