Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 362: 362: Stunning the Entire Audience

“Oh my God! She can actually play such a masterpiece. It seems that her earlier performance was just to set the atmosphere.”

In the violin notes, people heard a mixture of sadness and tragic heroism, which then turned cheerful, like the peace and prosperity of the current era.

If Zara Woods’s piece was a cheerful and light tune, then Xaviera Evans’s piece was a magnificent sound that contained the noble sentiments of family and country. Though no lyrics, it still conveyed deep emotions.

As the last note fell, Xaviera lowered her arm, slightly bowed, her eyes cold.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to break the silence.

Immersed in the music, the crowd went with Xaviera to see the rivers and mountains, the war, and together witnessed the peaceful era now.

After a while, people began to recover, only to realize that the music had long ended. Yet they still couldn’t calm down, as if they had just attended a grand concert.

Thunderous applause followed, as people excitedly praised, “I didn’t even realize the music had ended, I was so immersed in it. Miss Evans’s performance is just amazing!”

Sir Jaak also stood up, his face flushed with excitement, clapping, “Although I have never heard this piece, I know that whoever created it must be a genius. Miss Evans can play such a difficult piece without a single mistake; it’s really amazing!”

After Sir Jaak had spoken, a round of applause erupted again.

Xaviera glanced around with a calm expression, her gaze falling on Zara Woods and Maxwell Martin as she casually asked, “Miss Woods, Mr. Martin, now that my performance is over, do you think I have the ability to dispel the rumor that I am ignorant and incompetent?”

Zara Woods choked, biting her lip.

Maxwell Martin’s face turned red and white, and after a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, “Miss Evans’s performance is indeed excellent…”

“Since Mr. Martin thinks it’s good, then I must be qualified to compete with the champion, right? Dispel the rumor that I am incompetent.”

Xenia Jaak applauded again, “Miss Evans, you haven’t played the violin for three years, which means you were even better back then. You were so amazing back then, if Mr. Martin still criticizes you, it only means his standards are too high.”

Someone echoed, “I think Miss Evans’s level is better than Miss Woods! No wonder she is Xavier Hamer’s sister!”

“Who were the ones spreading the rumor? Saying Miss Evans is ignorant and incompetent? What does that make Zara Woods?”

“Who spread these rumors? We didn’t hear any before the banquet. Wasn’t it Zara Woods who started them? It seems she just wanted to step on Miss Evans, and she didn’t expect Miss Evans to be so much better.”

Zara Woods’s pupils suddenly contracted, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Xaviera looked at Zara Woods and said nonchalantly, “Didn’t Miss Woods just say that my performance is very ordinary?”

The crowd looked at Zara Woods angrily. She had indeed said that, but everyone thought that Xaviera was still performing and couldn’t hear it. They didn’t expect that she had actually heard it.

Stuttering, Zara Woods said, “I, I…”

As if suddenly recalling something, she looked up at Caleb Mamet and smiled confidently, “I didn’t say it. It…it was Caleb who said it. He said your performance was ordinary, so… ”

“I see, Caleb said that my performance was ordinary?” Xaviera pondered.

Everyone was on edge, sweating cold beads of sweat. Xaviera dared to call Mr. Caleb Mamet by his name directly?

Xaviera frowned, “Caleb, did you say that my performance was ordinary?”

Everyone held their breath, their hearts racing as they watched the scene. Perhaps in the next second, Caleb would explode, and they hoped they wouldn’t be caught in the aftermath.

Zara Woods was taken aback. She didn’t expect Xaviera to confront Caleb in front of everyone.

Given Caleb’s temperament, he would certainly ignore Xaviera, at least leaving her with some dignity.

In fact, Xaviera was not suitable to be Mrs. Mamet at all because she didn’t understand Caleb and had no right to be his woman!
