Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 946: Three Hundred Million Dollars Facilitated a Marriage Alliance
Chapter 946 -946: Three Hundred Million Dollars Facilitated a Marriage Alliance
“If you all are certain that the marriage contract is fake, then why are you so afraid of playing the video? How do you know what I’m about to show?”
Xaviera Evans’ lips curled coldly upward, and she then commanded, “Sean Price.”
Upon her command, Sean Price instantly set the video in motion. In the video, Cory and his wife were seen anxiously pleading, “Brother Gaile, we are truly in serious trouble this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to you. You have to help us, or the Hughes family will go bankrupt!”
— Mr. Gaile nodded his head approvingly, “Cory, calm down. Our bond as brothers over the years ensures I will help you. The Hughes’ family current crisis is due to a break in the capital chain. I can lend the Hughes family three hundred million dollars for now. There is no rush to return it.”
Three hundred million dollars? It was enough to buy a company twenty years ago. This was proof of the Gaile family’s substantial wealth.
— Upon hearing this, Cory’s face immediately beamed, “Oh! Thank you so much, Brother Gaile. There’s another matter I want to discuss with you. Didn’t our families talk about forming a marital alliance before? Now, do you see… ”
Everyone watching understood. Cory proposed the marriage to make the Gaile family an in-law, so they wouldn’t refuse to help if the Hughes family ever encountered trouble again.
— Simon Gaile hesitated a while but eventually agreed, “An alliance by marriage is indeed good. Who in my family has caught your eye?”
— Cory said, “My granddaughter is now five years old, and I heard your eldest grandson is six years old. Given the kids are of the same age, why not make a marriage arrangement now?”

— Simon Gaile, with a hearty laugh, responded, “That certainly works. Let’s arrange the marriage first and allow the children to interact more. If they fall in love when they become adults, it will be a joyous occasion. If they don’t like each other, we don’t have to force them; they can be like siblings instead. What’s your granddaughter’s name?”
— Cory said, “My granddaughter’s name is Zora Hughes.”
As his words fell, the video ended, leaving the room full of shocked faces. It turns out that Zora Hughes did indeed have another fiancé, and when they got engaged, Mr. Simon Gaile lent the Hughes family three hundred million dollars. With both marriage contract and video as evidence, The Hughes family had no room left to deny the marriage arrangement.
The color gradually drained from Zora’s face. She closed her eyes, not daring to look at the screen. Her heart ached, and she felt like she was on the verge of fainting. But she could only grit her teeth and restrain herself from losing her demeanor in public.
Angrily, the crowd murmured, “When the Hughes family was facing bankruptcy, only the Gaile family was willing to invest. Half of the Hughes family’s present wealth is due to the Gaile family’s generosity, which they should be grateful for. Now that the Gaile family is bankrupt, why is the marriage off the table?”
“The marriage alliance was proposed by Cory himself. When they saw that the Gaile family had money, they tried to curry favor. Now that the Gaile family is bankrupt, they turn around and wanted to marry Mr. Caleb Mamet, insisting that they have a marriage arrangement with him. The Hughes family really has a thick skin!”
“When Cory joined the Russell family through marriage, he used their power to strengthen the Hughes family. Once they gained strength, he cheated on Madam Hughes. Not a decent family, it’s a pity the Gailes lent them money, receiving nothing but ingratitude. When the Gaile family needed help, the Hughes family refused to lend a hand.”
Zora gritted her teeth hard. She hadn’t expected Xaviera Evans to dig up things from twenty years ago. She was a well-known perfumer, a noble lady in Lokio and the perfect goddess in everyone’s heart. If this incident spread out, her reputation would be entirely ruined.
No! This can’t happen!
A buzz ran through Cory’s mind, drowned by the crowd’s curses and scoffs. As he looked up, he saw Letitia Russell’s scornful expression again. He tightly clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart. With a helpless sigh, he admitted, “It’s all my fault!”
Everyone present looked at him doubtfully, wondering what lies he would come up with next.
As if understanding her grandfather’s intention, Zora quickly went to his side, grasping his hand, “Grandpa.”
Now with the truth unveiled and no way to refute, Cory’s only aim was to protect his granddaughter as much as possible. After all, Zora had a considerable influence abroad, with millions of fans and a personal workshop. Her future was limitless.
Zora was the hope of the Hughes family. If they could protect her reputation, then the Hughes family still had a chance to redeem itself. He suddenly looked up, took a deep breath, and confirmed, “Yes, I indeed arranged a marriage with the Gaile family, but Zora didn’t know anything about it!”
