Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 356: 356 – Such a strong green coffee aroma!

Mrs. Jaak’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Maxwell Martin pretended to be indifferent: “I am not concerned about others’ affairs. Miss Joy’s gift has nothing to do with me. Let’s give young people a chance. Miss Woods here beside me has great potential.”

Everyone looked at Zara Woods. She was indeed beautiful, but the news about the Woods family offending Xavier Hamer had already spread.

Maxwell Martin had long been dissatisfied with Xavier Hamer’s pressure on the Woods family and had challenged him several times. However, Maxwell Martin was a senior, and if Xavier Hamer were to attack him, wouldn’t that be unrighteous?

“Miss Woods, you can’t give up on music because of other people’s opinions. I’ve seen your violin skills, and who can surpass you in performing arts?”

Zara Woods pretended to be shy: “Mr. Martin, you’re too kind. I’m just a music lover. I never thought about getting any gifts. Besides, Xavier Hamer’s sister is coming today, I…”

Before she could finish, Maxwell Martin snorted coldly.

Everyone immediately whispered, couldn’t it be that Xavier Hamer’s sister doesn’t know music? Xavier Hamer has been in the art circle for so long, and besides having high accomplishments in the field of fine arts, his music is also unmatched by others.

Xenia Jaak frowned, Zara Woods and Maxwell Martin sang one red face and one white face, as if to ridicule Xaviera Evans for not knowing music but still wanting to snatch that precious violin.

But her gift was for Xaviera, and it had nothing to do with Zara. Even if Zara played the violin better than Xaviera, what difference does it make?

Just as Xenia was about to refute, Mrs. Jaak stopped her.

Mrs. Jaak whispered a reminder: “Watch the situation first, don’t be impulsive.”

Xenia knew that her mother was putting the overall situation first, so she obediently nodded.

At the entrance outside.

Xaviera Evans and Caleb Mamet got out of the car, the butler went to give the birthday gift, and the two of them, hand in hand, walked into the hall ignoring the surprised gazes of others.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, Mrs. Jaak greeted them with a smiling face, saying: “Miss Evans.”

On the other side, Zara Woods approached Xenia with a glass of coffee, “Miss Joy, hello.”

Xenia glanced at her disdainfully.

The smile on Zara’s face disappeared suddenly. If it wasn’t for the Woods family urgently needing the support of the Jaak family, how could she condescend to approach the impulsive and brainless Miss Joy?!

Seeing Xenia look at Xaviera in the distance, Zara immediately came up with an idea, “Miss Joy, do you know Xaviera?”

Xenia looked at her impatiently and replied in a disgruntled tone: “What does it have to do with you?”

Zara Woods had always been successful in the upper-class circle due to her sweet appearance. It was the first time she had encountered such treatment. She suppressed her anger and smiled awkwardly: “Miss Joy, I’m afraid you don’t know that Xaviera’s husband and I are good friends. We’ve met a few times. I heard that you and Xaviera had a conflict?”

Xenia was about to leave when she heard these words. She stopped abruptly, turned around, and asked with narrowed eyes: “Where did Miss Woods hear it from?”

Zara Woods looked embarrassed: “Actually… when Miss Joy was celebrating her birthday, I was there too. If I remember correctly, it was Xaviera who broke your favorite toy but refused to admit it. It wasn’t until the elders of the Evans family persuaded her that she confessed.”

“Miss Joy, Xaviera was young at that time. She has lost her mother since childhood, and no one taught her not to touch other people’s things. Perhaps she just thought that the toy you got was novel and accidentally broke it. I apologize on her behalf.”

Xenia sneered.

If she didn’t know that Xaviera was wrongly accused, she would easily fall into Zara Woods’ trap. She would think that Xaviera asked Zara to be the mediator and recall the unpleasant memories, resulting in dissatisfaction with Xaviera.

What did Zara Woods mean? Was she trying to provoke her relationship with Xaviera and use her to deal with Xaviera? What a strong green tea atmosphere!

She snorted, and at this time, the butler came over, “Miss, the madam invites you to come over. The banquet is about to begin.”
