Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 888 - : No Fault in Not Knowing

Chapter 888: Chapter 888: No Fault in Not Knowing

Mrs. Walter listened to Zora Hughes’ explanation and a smile appeared on her face. “Julian is so thoughtful! He knew to protect Murray in this way.”

Cory Hughes understood what Zora meant, and continued, “Aunt Walter, although Julian hasn’t grown up in the Hughes family, we know him very well, and he would never cheat … and would be even more strict with the people he is close to. This shows that he already considers Murray as his wife.”

“He rushed over from the company, fearing that Murray would be bullied. Seeing that Murray was not at a disadvantage, he scolded her a few times, intending to leave Mr. Caleb Mamet with no grounds to attack.”

Murray Walter blushed and said coyly, “So, it means that Julian likes me, and he must be willing to marry me. He just doesn’t say it outright.”

“That’s right.” Cory Hughes chuckled.

After Mrs. Walter and Murray left contentedly, Cory Hughes suddenly changed his expression and slammed the table fiercely, “Dammit!”

...

Zora quickly tried to comfort, “Grandfather, don’t let your anger affect your health. Aunt Nina passed away early and no one disciplined Xaviera, which led to her developing a stubborn and defiant character. But you are Xaviera’s grandfather, and you can’t just stand by and watch her do whatever she pleases.”

“I know what she’s up to! She wants to break the marriage alliance between the Walter family and ours. I don’t agreed! Julian is my grandson. Who he marries must be my decision!” Cory Hughes said viciously.

“When I divorced that woman, I wanted to take Frederick with me, but she insisted on opposing me. As Frederick’s father, could I still harm him? Once Julian becomes the head of the Russell family with vast wealth, marrying a stupid woman would be just to avoid people’s coveting the Russell family’s fortune. Why doesn’t Julian understand my painstaking efforts?”

Zora shook her head helplessly, “After so many years, Julian still blames us, thinking that grandma destroyed your marriage with Mrs. Russell, so …”

Upon mentioning this, Madam Hughes’s eyes turned cold. It’s been decades, yet she still couldn’t escape the identity of the third person. As long as the Russell family still existed, no one dared to recognize her as the mistress of the Hughes family.

“Zora, why did you keep the truth from Murray?” Cory Hughes asked.

Zora explained with a faint smile, “As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. If Murray doesn’t know about Xaviera’s identity, the Russell family can’t blame her. If she knew Xaviera’s identity, she would provoke the Russell family, and how could she marry into their family then?”

Cory Hughes nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Zora’s words made sense.

“Zora, you have a great influence abroad. Now that you are back in the country, you must perform well and strive to make a name for the Hughes family here.”

Zora exuded a confident smile, “I am planning to cooperate with the Mamet Corporation. Mr. Caleb Mamet is clear about public and private matters, and he will not let the misunderstandings between me and Xaviera affect the company’s development.”

…

The private room in the Western restaurant.

Xaviera Evans was leaning on the sofa, holding a cup of hot milk, mumbling, “The Hughes family is really shameless. Cory Hughes had an affair and abandoned his wife and children, and now he even dares to interfere in his grandson’s marriage? How dare he!”

“Julian Russell will not marry Murray Walter, and Cory Hughes’ plan will fail sooner or later. Murray keeps claiming she will be the future Madam of the Russell family, but she has only met Julian a few times. If she hadn’t done many disgusting things, Julian might have already forgotten who she is,” said Caleb Mamet indifferently, followed by a chuckle.

Murray Walter was simply naive. The future head of the Russell family would never be controlled by anyone, let alone follow Cory Hughes’ orders to get married and have children. All her thoughts were nothing but fantasies.

Xaviera nodded. There was not a trace of affection in Julian’s eyes when he looked at Murray. He was clearly full of disgust. He would never marry her, and even talking to her would make him feel annoyed.

“The Walter family is mediocre in the upper class, and Murray has a temperamental, stupid, and irritable character. But Sir Hughes likes this granddaughter-in-law very much. Do you know why?” Caleb Mamet asked in a leisurely tone.

“Because she’s stupid?” Xaviera questioned.

Caleb Mamet smiled slightly, “That’s right. It’s good for the Hughes family that the future mistress of the Russell family is a woman who is closely related to the Hughes family and is foolish. After the divorce, Cory Hughes was unwilling to part with the Russell family’s property without getting a share, so he wanted to take advantage from this marriage alliance.”
