Chapter 555: Chapter 555: A Forced Melon Won’t Be Sweet

Will Mamet smiled and said, “Apologies for that, Yigol is a straightforward child. Caleb and Zara’s marriage is now settled, and when the time comes for them to be married, we will naturally send out invitations to everyone! Mr. Woods, please come up!”

Mr. and Mrs. Woods walked up to the stage with smiles on their faces, picked up the microphone and said, “Our daughter Zara has grown up with Caleb since they were little. The two are childhood friends. Now that they’re finally together, it can be called a beautiful story. Some people might think it’s improper for Zara to act this way since Mr. Caleb Mamet is already married, but Mr. Mamet has already said that the Mamet family will not accept Miss Evans. In that case, there is nothing wrong with Zara getting engaged to Mr. Caleb Mamet.”

“Zara marrying Mr. Caleb Mamet is good for Mr. Caleb Mamet. If you were Mr. Caleb Mamet and knew that your wife doesn’t understand etiquette, has no cultural refinement, can’t even respect elders, always causes trouble, and often embarrasses Mr. Caleb Mamet, you would not want to tolerate this wife either.”

Everyone couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Mr. Woods continued, “Not only is my daughter outstanding, but she also has Mr. Caleb Mamet in her heart and will always consider his best interests. She will definitely fulfill her duties as Mrs. Mamet.”

Zara shyly lowered her head, “Dad, I’m not all that outstanding. I just know that I will be more devoted to Caleb than Xaviera.”

Mrs. Woods spoke, “My daughter has known Mr. Caleb Mamet for more than ten years. Mr. Caleb Mamet got married to that woman because of a momentary impulse, and now he should have started regretting it. But that woman is still clinging to him. Now that the Mamet family has stepped in and engaged him to my daughter, this matter should be resolved.”

Both the Woods and Mamet families were sure that even if Xaviera was unhappy, she would not be able to resist their united front.

Although Caleb does have some affection for Xaviera, it’s only temporary, and once he comes to his senses, he will still choose Zara as his wife.

There was silence for a moment, then everyone began offering their congratulations.

Zara smiled shyly, “Thank you, everyone. My marriage with Caleb…”

“I was unaware that I was engaged to Miss Woods. Why didn’t my father notify me?”

An icy male voice came, and everyone was stunned.

Caleb wore an exquisite suit, exuding an oppressive aura, like a whirlwind, appearing before everyone.

His cold eyes swept across the crowd, not missing a thing, hooking the corners of his mouth. Everyone held their breath and dared not say a word.

“Miss Woods, a forced union is always bitter. I have told you before. My taste has not degraded to the point that I would be interested in any random person.”

Zara’s eyes immediately filled with tears, and her body swayed slightly.

The banquet hall fell silent.

Will Mamet’s gaze darkened. “Caleb, I’m doing this for your own good. That Xaviera is not suitable for you at all. Once you marry Zara, you will know how good she is.”

Caleb sneered, “How would my father know whether Zara is good or not? Did you try her out? If my father marries Zara, I would be more than happy and willing to offer a generous gift to congratulate him!”

“You!” Will Mamet suddenly ran out of breath, never expecting Caleb to say such unforgivable words in front of everyone.

“What nonsense are you talking! Zara has been in love with you for over ten years. If you don’t marry her, do you still have a conscience?”

Caleb’s face revealed mockery, “Father, why not ask around? There are so many women in Libanan who want to marry me. If I don’t marry them, it means I have no conscience. If persisting for more than ten years means it must come true, then my father has been dreaming for forty or fifty years and still hasn’t become the richest person in the world!”

Everyone struggled to hold back their laughter.

However, Yigol couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

That’s right, the old man daydreams about becoming the richest person in the world and spending money he can never finish, but in the end, he is still worthless.

Yigol was clear that his father did not actually think highly of the Woods family and Zara but insisted on forcing Caleb because he knew Caleb did not want to.

The Woods family members glared, and Will Mamet frowned, speaking unhappily, “Caleb, your marriage to Zara has been decided, and you are not allowed to make any more trouble!”

Caleb fell silent for a while and spoke with a deep, hoarse voice, “Zara, do you really want to marry me?”

Zara felt a little embarrassed but still bit her lip and said, “Yes, Caleb…”

“But I’m already married. Though my father is known for his numerous love affairs, I am not that kind of person. Marrying two wives is something only my father could do.”
