Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband - Season 2 Episode 4

The employees outside the door pricked up their ears for gossip. As they whispered among themselves, the news spread like wildfire through the office, not long before everyone in the company knew about it.

Rose Campbell’s face changed multiple times. She was no fool. Even though she didn’t know what the connection was between the Coriell and Evans

families and the Mamet family, every word Steve Price said was defending Xaviera Evans. Why was he helping Xaviera?

It made no sense. How could someone like Xaviera be

involved with Steve Price?

“Special Assistant Price, you may be unaware, but Xaviera has a bad track record and has done many wrong things. This time, it must be her fault as well…”

Steve Price looked indifferent, “Although I’m not a very influential figure, I’m not just someone any stray cat or dog can talk to. Mrs. Campbell, as an illegitimate

mistress unable to show her face in public, you’d better stay away from me and avoid polluting the air around me.”

Rose Campbell’s face turned green and white. The words ‘illegitimate mistress unable to show her face in public‘ were like grinding her dignity into the ground.

Steve Price took a step back, as if unwilling to be tainted by even the slightest scent of Rose Campbell. His actions caused Rose to collapse, unable to even maintain her smile. It was only when Derek Evans

pushed her that she managed to calm down and refrained from saying anything inappropriate.

Steve Price turned to Boris Coriell: “Since Mr. Coriell

hasn’t kept his promise, I regret to inform you that our cooperation with the Coriell family will end here.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Boris Coriell’s phone rang. Nobody knew what was said on the other end, but Boris’s face drastically changed. After giving Xaviera a fierce glare, he hurriedly left.

Derek Evans tried to call out to him, but Boris paid no attention. As Derek watched Boris disappearing in the

distance, he swayed on the spot.

Albert Sullivan had come to this place after hearing the news that Derek Evans had brought Xaviera back, fearing that she would be bullied. He hadn’t expected to bump into Steve Price downstairs…

Now that everything was resolved, he replied with a slight smile: “Mr. Evans, I really can’t agree with your attitude towards handling this matter, so I think there’s no need for our partnership to continue.”

Derek Evans was taken aback, “Mr. Sullivan…”

Albert Sullivan interrupted, “No need for explanations. I have some grievances with the Coriell family. Mr. Evans, you’re helping the Coriells to frame your own daughter, making me suspicious that if a conflict arises between my family and the Coriells, you’ll definitely help the Coriells against me. We’re all businessmen. Profit comes first. So, Mr. Evans, I’ll take my leave.”

“Mr. Sullivan, it’s a misunderstanding, all just a misunderstanding!” Derek Evans couldn’t believe that Albert Sullivan held a grudge against the Coriells. What was going on? He stumbled out after Sullivan, following the Coriell family’s threat to cancel their important collaboration if Xaviera didn’t apologize.

Now that they’d lost so much face, collaboration was doomed.

With the Coriell’s issue unresolved and Albert Sullivan

wanting to withdraw his investment and dissolve their partnership, Derek’s head was spinning. He couldn’t understand why. All the blame went to Xaviera.

It was all Xaviera’s fault! Everything!

If Xaviera had just let herself be framed by Miss Coriell and accepted responsibility for everything that happened at the banquet, there wouldn’t be so many problems now. Rose Campbell shared the same thought. Many things began with Xaviera.

With that thought in mind, she couldn’t help but look

at Xaviera.

Since Albert Sullivan and Steve Price’s arrival, Xaviera

had remained silent. Her face was as beautiful as ever, inciting jealousy. However, for some reason, Rose felt that something was different now.

The Xaviera standing there now was beyond their

control.

No… how could it be! Xaviera, a country bumpkin

104 Chapter 104: Our Cooperation Ends Here

freshly arrived from the countryside, who had intentionally been made a loser without ambition by her over the years, how could she have the ability to play everyone in circles?!

It must be her imagination. Xaviera was still the same Xaviera, a puppet played at her whim.

After Steve Price left with Xaviera, Derek Evans angrily slammed the table, “This damned jinx! Sinister guy!”

Rose Campbell wiped her tears and pretended to be heartbroken, “Derek… there’s one thing I can’t understand. You said that Xaviera doesn’t have a good reputation in the upper–class circles and has not been well–received. So why did Special Assistant Price stand

on Xaviera’s side this time? And Mr. Sullivan too, it seems that their relationship with Xaviera is quite good…”

Derek Evans slowly calmed down, “Right, you’re not wrong. We know Xaviera’s reputation all too well. Both Steve Price and Albert Sullivan are exceptional figures. Why would they help Xaviera
