Chapter 1334 - Chapter 1334 Chapter 1334 Insulting Him with One Billion
Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: Insulting Him with One Billion Dollars Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: Insulting Him with One Billion Dollars Zora Hughes held her breath, watching Caleb Mamet with anticipation.
That was one billion dollars! As long as Caleb agreed, they would immediately deliver the one billion dollars in betrothal gifts to the Lowen Clubhouse. He was so young, so handsome and outstanding, he could have many women around him. Xaviera Evans was beautiful, but she wasn’t the only beautiful woman out there.
He had hesitated, which meant that Xaviera Evans wasn’t that important to him. Under the temptation of one billion dollars, most people could not hold back.
The Hughes family members all watched Caleb with hopeful eyes. He spoke slowly, “Mr. Hughes, are you insulting me?”
Steve Price’s smug expression was instantly frozen. Could it be that Caleb thought one billion was too little?
Before Steve could speak, Caleb chuckled, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth. He was already extraordinarily handsome, and now his smile exuded the charm of a mature man, with a hint of roguish allure.
But to the Hughes family, his smile was like a death sentence, chilling to the bone.
A sense of unease surfaced in Steve’s heart.
The next second, Caleb spoke in a calm tone, “Does Mr. Hughes think that I would sell my wife for one billion dollars? Just because you would do such things, doesn’t mean others are as profit-minded as you. As for cooperation, I am not the same kind of person as Mr. Hughes and I do not wish to stoop to his level.”
The living room immediately fell silent.
Steve Price looked on with admiration. True to his reputation as the CEO, even his insults were clean and elegant, leaving Steve with nowhere to hide. Not only did he scold Steve, but Mrs. Taylor was indirectly scolded as well – weren’t they both cut from the same cloth?
Steve’s face turned pale with suppressed rage, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, are you refusing then?”
Caleb didn’t even deign to spare Steve a glance. He scrunched his brows, his voice filled with an intense murderous intent, “What, is Mr. Hughes trying to threaten me?”
“I’ve made myself clear. Mr. Hughes has already accepted the 2 billion dollar betrothal gifts. Naturally, he can’t go back on his word. So, Zora must marry today, whether she likes it or not!”
A deathly silence ensued.
Steve’s face turned dark as ink, his teeth clenched, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, Zora is a member of the Hughes family. We do not need your interference in our family’s matrimonial matters.”
“Oh my! Is this the great Mr. Caleb Mamet, the CEO of the Mamet Corporation?” Mrs. Taylor elegantly stepped forward, greeting him with a genial smile.
She was voluptuous, delicately dressed in Yittaland-style attire, her face refined; a mature woman with lingering charm. Though her tone was mild, Xaviera saw the contempt in her eyes.
As expected, Mrs. Taylor’s face changed a second later, “Mr. Mamet, our Brooke family’s matrimonial matters don’t need your interference. My son has taken a liking to Miss Evans. She must leave with us today. I hope you consider carefully, crossing the Brooke family wouldn’t be wise.”
Steve Price laughed coldly, “You’re quite interesting. It’s true we have no authority over your Brooke family’s matrimonial matters, but the woman you seek to marry is our CEO’s wife. Naturally, we cannot agree. Setting aside the fact that our CEO has already married the lady, even if she were not, Mrs. Taylor, you cannot forcibly take her. Is it that the Brooke family, despite oppressing others with their power, does not allow any criticism?”
