Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Uninvited Guest
The Mamet Group headquarters.
A black Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance, and the driver quickly got out of the car to open the door, âMr. Caleb Mamet, we have arrived.â
Caleb Mamet nodded and led Xaviera Evans out of the car. Under the heated gaze of everyone, Xaviera was somewhat uneasy, âCaleb, itâs just signing a contract, isnât it unnecessary to put on such a grand gesture for this?â
As soon as she stepped in, Xaviera noticed the special arrangements around her. Everyone bowed to the couple, and Caleb led her straight to the elevator. The crowd was both curious and a little fearful, stealing glances at them.
âThatâs Mrs. Mamet!â
âMrs. Mamet is so beautiful, no wonder Mr. Caleb Mamet dotes on her so much!â
...
âDid you guys hear? Yesterday, Mrs. Mamet went to Natural Sound Entertainment for a partnership discussion, and two women stopped her, saying that Mrs. Mamet only had her good looks, and she wasnât worthy of Mr. Caleb Mamet and had no ability to manage the company.â
After the two went up to the floor, someone immediately brought the contract and documents. Xaviera signed and took a deep breath, âActually, the person who founded Windrop Entertainment was my mother. The name was also chosen by her, and I learned about it from her notebook, which I found when I was cleaning her belongings. Later, Rose Campbell almost burned it. Fortunately, I got back half of it, which allowed me to have a keepsake.â
Hearing Xavieraâs words, Calebâs eyebrows furrowed. This Rose Campbell was really wicked, and spending the rest of her life in prison was a cheap punishment for her.
âWhen my mother passed away, the entertainment company hadnât been formally established, but it was already taking shape. Mr. Griffel was in charge of the company. Mr. Griffel and his son worked tirelessly for the company over the years. If it werenât for them, Windrop Entertainment wouldnât be where it is today. Thatâs why I gave the companyâs funds and power to Mr. Griffel. Itâs a pity that my mother didnât have the chance to see the flourishing state of Windrop Entertainment now.â
âMr. Griffel started Windrop Entertainment with the startup capital left by my mother, plus his own savings over the years. At that time, the company only had one artist and no resources. Six years ago, with my elder brotherâs help, Windrop Entertainment began to make a name for itself in the entertainment industry.â
Caleb embraced her and smiled, âThen I should thank Elijah Flack. If it werenât for him, the two companies wouldnât have merged today.â
Xaviera lowered her eyes, about to speak, when the secretary suddenly forwarded a call, âMr. Caleb Mamet, an old gentleman claiming to be your wifeâs maternal grandfather wants to visit upstairs.â
Maternal grandfather?
Calebâs eyes turned cold, âDonât let him in.â
âŠ
The secretary informed the receptionist, who replied awkwardly, âSir, Mrs. Mamet is busy at the moment and has no time to see you.â
Actually, the receptionist was already used to people coming to climb the ladder by claiming relations with Mr. Caleb Mamet. There were already more than a dozen people claiming to be his brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts. Knowing that Mr. Caleb Mamet had a bad temper, they began impersonating Mrs. Mametâs relatives.
The receptionist looked helplessly at the old man and a young lady in front of him, âIâm sorry, youâll have to come back another day.â
Cory Hughesâ face darkened instantly. Xaviera dared not meet him? The Windrop Entertainment she controlled occupied half of the variety shows in the entertainment industry, and its annual income was considerable. It was meant to be Nina Hughesâ property, which, in turn, belonged to the Hughes family. What right did Xaviera have to keep it for herself? She was supposed to give some shares to Nidya and Zora Hughes.
He gave Xaviera face by coming to the Mamet Corporation personally, but she dared not let them in?
Cory Hughes pointed at Zora Hughes beside him, eyes wide with anger, âThis is the Presidentâs wifeâs sister, and I am the Presidentâs wifeâs maternal grandfather. Are you sure you have informed Xaviera?â
The receptionist showed a formulaic smile, âWe have already reported according to the procedure, and Mr. Caleb Mamet said not to let you in. No matter who you are related to, if Mr. Caleb Mamet doesnât agree, we have no right to let you in. Why donât you call Mrs. Mamet? As long as Mrs. Mamet agrees, I believe Mr. Caleb Mamet wonât refuse.â
Cory Hughesâ face darkened, and Zora Hughes quickly interjected gently, âXaviera and I had an argument, and we couldnât get in touch with her. Please let us in.â
As soon as the words fell, the receptionistâs patience was exhausted, and she replied disdainfully, âThere are so many people coming to climb relationships every day. Our Mr. Caleb Mamet and Mrs. Mamet are so busy, where would they find the time to meet? Please, both of you, leave.â
Cory Hughes was so angry that his beard quivered, snorting coldly, âYou scoundrel! Daring not to let us in? Zora! Letâs go!â
