Chapter 557: Chapter 557: The More Powdered the Clothes, the Fiercer the Tearing

Zara Woods’s body trembled slightly, and she said with a wronged tone: “Caleb, if Xaviera hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have asked to get engaged to you. But she’s gone. Can’t you... can’t you turn around and look at me? We grew up together; we should be together.”

“If you hadn’t married Xaviera in the first place, maybe we would’ve gotten married already. Caleb, why can’t you pity me?”

With that, she burst into tears, inconsolable and heartbroken.

Caleb Mamet sneered, “Miss Woods, if you have a problem with your brain, seek treatment.”

“Caleb!” Zara’s lips trembled, “In order to marry you, to be worthy of you, I went abroad alone to study, worked hard for years, and created huge profits for the Mamet family’s company. Now that I’ve finally gotten engaged to you, are you really going to call off our engagement for a woman who abandoned you?”

The Woods family immediately chimed in: “Yes, Mr. Caleb Mamet, our Zara has been pampered since childhood and has never been wronged. But for you, she was willing to be bullied by that Xaviera. Now that she’s finally gone, how can you abandon Zara for her?”

“Mr. Mamet, Zara truly loves you, and since the wedding is set, you must take responsibility for her!”

These accusations made Caleb frown, and after a long silence, he scoffed.

Zara pleaded humbly: “Caleb, Xaviera is gone. Forget about her. I’m your fiancée. I don’t ask for anything else. I just hope that you can save me some face in front of everyone. After all, this is our engagement party. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it later, okay?”

A beautiful person in tears, her voice full of supplication; everyone watching felt heartache for her.

Xaviera walked up to Zara, raised her eyebrows disdainfully, and said, “Miss Woods, are you daydreaming? You dared to call yourself Caleb’s fiancée, wanting him to save face for you at the engagement party. Listening to this, Miss Woods has really humbled herself for the sake of Caleb, making everyone think Mr. Mamet is ruthless for treating his gentle fiancée like this. But...”

She was already taller than Zara and was now also wearing a pair of high heels, standing tall and looking down at Zara. She spoke slowly, “Miss Woods, did you forget that I am Mrs. Mamet?”

“It seems that Caleb and I haven’t divorced yet; Miss Woods, claiming to be Caleb’s fiancée and asking him not to think about his own wife, what kind of logic is that?”

The entire venue was in a uproar.

The more pink the clothes, the more ruthless the face-slapping!

As soon as Mrs. Mamet appeared, the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed completely, as if permeated by the smell of gunpowder. She outright left Zara speechless.

Xaviera stood there, gestured for Caleb to come, and then everyone saw Mr. Mamet walk to Xaviera like a loyal dog and affectionately wrap his arms around her waist.

Zara watched the two of them huddled together, feeling a sudden sense of betrayal. She clenched her teeth in anger.

How could Xaviera have come back? She should be dead!

Worthless! All worthless!

Fearing she couldn’t kill Xaviera, she had contacted hitmen from Lingo Pavilion and even offered them 20 million dollars. How could they have failed to kill her? Could even Lingo Pavilion fail?
