Chapter 547: All of Zara Woods’ Admirers are Stupid
Xaviera was just about to nod in agreent when a cold male voice suddenly ca from beside her: “I agree.”
Caleb Mat slowly raised his eyes, showing a calm yet powerful deanor, and said lightly: “I agree to put up 5% of my shares. If Xaviera cannot do it, I will offer my shares willingly.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Mr. Caleb Mat really loved his wife, willing to put up 5% of his shares as a bet?
Or, maybe Mrs. Mat was really skilled in horse riding. If she could do it, they would have to abide by their promise and offer up their agreed bets. Otherwise, it would be better not to bet at all, or else…
“Caleb, calm down! How can you put up 5% of your shares? Xaviera grew up in the countryside and doesn’t know how to ride a horse. I asked her to use the shop as collateral, so I could give it back to her later. However, if the shares are signed in a contract…”
“Moreover, the shares in the Mat Corporation involve a huge amount of money and have a great impact on you. You know that very well. You cannot pay such a price just for Xaviera’s face!”
Zara Woods looked sad, “Xaviera, can’t you think about Caleb’s feelings?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone understood that Mrs. Mat couldn’t actually ride a horse; it was just for her face that Mr. Caleb Mat agreed to offer up his shares.
But those were the shares of the Mat Corporation. Even a 1% share was a huge sum of money, and now it was 5%, just casually being offered up?
With just a few words, Mr. Drew had managed to make Mr. Mat agree to give up his shares. If Mrs. Mat couldn’t do what was asked, not only would she lose face, but she would also cause her husband to lose his shares. How could she hold her head up in the upper class society then?
Boyd Drew smirked, actually knowing that Xaviera could ride a horse. Her brothers were all exceptional, and she married Caleb Mat. How could she possibly not know how to ride a horse?
However, being able to ride a horse doesn’t necessarily an being able to ta one, especially since this horse had a strong temper. Even Zara Woods, an expert in horse riding, couldn’t control it, let alone Xaviera.
It seed that the horse looked gentle but didn’t allow Zara Woods to ride it, probably because it had an owner already. Even if Xaviera was skilled in horse riding, she wouldn’t be able to make the horse recognize her as its master on the spot.
This ti, Caleb was bound to lose.
Right now, Xaviera had already walked up to the horse.
Zara Woods beseeched earnestly, “Xaviera, how can you be so ignorant! To save your face, you’re willing to gamble away all of Caleb’s hard work. When the ti cos…”
“Miss Woods, you don’t need to waste your breath on her. A spendthrift woman like her needs to suffer so hardships and have her arrogance crushed. Let’s see if she dares to mock you again in the future!”
Another man chid in, “Mr. Mat is her husband, of course, he has to save her face. In the end, it’s Xaviera who’s too arrogant. She doesn’t even have her husband in her eyes; that’s why she agreed to the bet.”
“It was just a small matter to begin with. If not for her mocking Miss Woods, things wouldn’t have escalated this much.”
“She’s not even fit to be Mrs. Mat. She’s a complete disgrace to the Mat family!”
Listening to everyone’s mockery, Xaviera remained calm and found them absurd.
Zara Woods ca over and took her horse away. Xaviera couldn’t ta the horse herself and fell off it. Zara Woods was the one who proposed the bet, and Boyd Drew was the one who demanded the shares. How did that concern her?
Were Zara Woods’ admirers all fools?
Did they all want to be slapped in the face? If so, they could just keep their eyes wide open and watch.
Xaviera held the reins in her hand, raised her eyes, and gave Zara Woods a cold glance before looking at Boyd Drew by her side.
“Mr. Drew.”
“Is there anything else, Miss Evans?”
Xaviera: “I’m just curious about why Mr. Drew is so sure that I won’t be able to ta this horse, even going so far as to put 5% of the shares as a bet.”
Boyd Drew gave a gentle smile, “Miss Evans, you think too much. I have no ill intentions. In fact, you should know that I’ve always admired you. Even if you can’t do it today, I would still tell my friends behind not to spread the news to avoid damaging your reputation.”
Xaviera scoffed, “You sure talk pretty, but everyone knows what you’re up to.”
Boyd Drew didn’t get angry and still had a smile on his face.
“It’s quite surprising that Mr. Drew and Miss Woods are together, both having such thick skins, making them quite compatible. I wish you both happiness forever.”
