Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband - Chapter 546

Chapter 546: Chapter 546: A Bet

Zara Woods had a triumphant smile on her face.

Who said there wouldn’t be any loss? If Xaviera couldn’t tame the horse, she would lose face in public, and everyone had just heard Xaviera make fun of her.

At that time, Mrs. Mamet, who isn’t skilled in horsemanship, would be laughed at for making fun of others, and her jealous nature would soon be exposed.

Unexpectedly, Xaviera backed down, hesitating: “It’s just that Miss Woods is an expert rider but still fell off the horse, so I’m a little scared. Falling off the horse must be painful! Although everyone’s bets are very tempting, my husband is rich and powerful, and we don’t lack for much, so there’s no need for me to risk injuring myself for such petty gains. It’s really not worth it!”

“Besides,” she continued, “Miss Woods is right. I grew up in the countryside and never practiced riding, let alone rode a horse. If I can’t tame it, I’ll probably get hurt even worse than Miss Woods.”

Boyd Drew kept a straight face, thinking for a moment that Xaviera must dislike the stakes being too low.

Zara Woods immediately got excited. “I’ll add one set of jade jewelry to the stakes. If you can tame this horse, Xaviera, my precious jade set will be yours!”

Xaviera remained silent, calculating in her mind how much money these things would all be worth together. But this was still not enough because the person she really wanted to trap hadn’t made an offer yet!

So she continued to look troubled, sighing, “Ah, but…”

“Miss Evans,” Boyd Drew finally spoke up leisurely: “Since everyone has generously contributed, I shouldn’t stand idly by. If you can truly tame this horse, I will give you 5% of the Drew family’s shares. I won’t go back on my word – what do you think?”

Boom–!!

Everyone gasped collectively.

Yigol Mamet’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Boyd Drew.

Give Xaviera 5% of the Drew family’s shares?

How could the Drew family agree to this? Although 5% may not sound like much, for a wealthy family like theirs, it represents a huge fortune. And with so many people owning shares in the Drew family, Boyd Drew’s share might not be very large. Offering this amount was unexpectedly generous.

Isn’t this joke too big?

Under everyone’s scrutiny, if Xaviera really tamed the horse, there would be no backing out.

Xaviera’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing that Boyd Drew wouldn’t be so foolish to stop here – there must be more to it.

As expected, the next second, Boyd Drew looked at Caleb Mamet provocatively and casually said, “However, the Drew family’s shares aren’t something I can casually wager. Why don’t… Mr. Caleb Mamet also join in the bet? If Mrs. Mamet can tame the horse, I will give her 5% of the Drew family’s shares. If she can’t, Mr. Caleb Mamet must give the Mamet Corporation’s equivalent shares to Miss Woods. How about that?”

Everyone was silent, and it felt as though electric currents were cutting through the air.

Xaviera smiled slightly: “Mr. Drew, you’re joking. On the surface, it does seem fair— if I succeed, you give me shares, if I fail, Caleb gives Zara shares.”

“But… are your shares really comparable to the Mamet Corporation’s shares? Can your 5% of shares and Caleb’s 5% of shares be on the same level?”

“I’m not stupid. I won’t cut myself short. I am sorry, but I cannot participate in this bet.”

Dead silence.

Although the words were harsh, they made sense. If Mrs. Mamet could tame the horse, that would be one thing; but if she couldn’t, the losses would be staggering!

One of Zara Woods’ admirers immediately stood up for her justice, “Mrs. Mamet, you’re unable to do it yourself but still make fun of Zara, and now you’re backing out?”

Xaviera raised her eyebrows, “I’m just telling the truth. It’s not mocking. I didn’t think Miss Woods would be so fragile that she can’t even handle a few words. Besides, earlier, someone wanted to snatch my horse away, claiming they had excellent riding skills. But now, she’s been thrown off the horse. She couldn’t succeed but still tried to take someone else’s things, isn’t that self-inflicted?”

Zara Woods’ face turned red with embarrassment, suppressing her anger and speaking with grievance: “It’s just a bet, so let’s not involve Caleb. Since it’s Xaviera who wants to gamble, if you fail, how about putting up one of your own stores as collateral?”

Xaviera sneered coldly.

True to form for Caleb’s cherry blossom, always thinking of what’s best for Caleb Mamet.
