Chapter 387: 387: Time to Close the Net
Caleb Mamet raised his eyes lightly and sneered, “Well, as you wish.”
He glanced at the time and whispered to himself, “It’s time.”
Eight o’clock in the evening.
The Drew family and the Mamet family were having a lively conversation, which shocked everyone. The scene seemed to go back to the time when the two families first got married more than 20 years ago.
The guests whispered, “Have you seen the young man next to Sir Drew? The Mamet family seems to be very enthusiastic about him!”
“The Mamet family looks very familiar with him, but Mr. Caleb Mamet seems to be neglected.”
“What’s going on? Although Mr. Caleb Mamet and Mr. Mamet don’t get along well, Mr. Caleb Mamet is still the head of the Mamet family, yet Mr. Mamet is getting so close to another young man, which is really strange.”
Everyone sensed something was amiss.
Someone lowered their voice, “Have you heard? The land in the northern suburbs that Mr. Caleb Mamet… he didn’t get it!”
“That’s impossible! Who else is qualified to get that piece of land except Mr. Caleb Mamet? Who dares to compete with Mr. Caleb Mamet? Even if the two are competing, that person’s financial strength cannot be a match for Mr. Caleb Mamet’s.”
“Far away in the sky yet close in front of our eyes, it’s Boyd Drew…”
People were dumbfounded.
What kind of background does Boyd Drew have that he can snatch that land from Mr. Caleb Mamet’s hands?
Moreover, both the Mamet family and the Drew family seem to attach great importance to this young man. It seems a change is coming…
At this moment, Will Mamet was flushed with alcohol, his face full of smiles. He staggered onto the stage, held up the microphone, and announced loudly, “Thank you all for coming to my birthday party! I invited you all today because I have an important announcement to make. I’m sure you’re all very curious why Sir Drew and Miss Wendy Drew are here.”
Everyone looked up, expecting his explanation.
The whole room was silent.
Will Mamet cleared his throat and officially began, “Before announcing this, I want to thank my father-in-law Sir Drew and Miss Wendy Drew for… ”
Halfway through, he choked up for a moment and continued, “Thank you for helping me raise the child of me and Winni.”
“Boyd, come to daddy.”
Boom–
The air was eerily quiet.
People exchanged glances, unable to believe what they had just heard.
Will Mamet said that the Drew family raised his and Winni’s child?
Boyd Drew is the child of Will Mamet and Winni, a legitimate son of the Mamet family!
In addition to their shock, people couldn’t help but look at Caleb Mamet. Now that the rightful heir had returned, where would Caleb, who had been holding the power of the Mamet family as an ‘illegitimate son’, go?
As businessmen are always profit-oriented, whether born in wedlock or not, only those capable are qualified to be heirs. Now that Boyd Drew has acquired the land and Caleb has been defeated, it means Boyd, the legitimate son, is not inferior to Caleb.
In the midst of the sighs of the crowd, Caleb Mamet remained calm and snapped his fingers towards the shadows.
The fish is on the hook, time to reel it in.
Boyd Drew went on stage and stood next to Will Mamet. Their faces were very alike, and the people below the stage stared for a moment before someone started applauding.
Soon a group of people started clapping and congratulating. It was a good thing for the legitimate son of the Mamet family to recognize ancestry and come back to the family, but it was a troublesome thing for Caleb alone.
Will Mamet nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of pride.
“While everyone is here, I announce that from today, the shares and assets of the Mamet Corporation will be handed over to my son Boyd Drew, who will be the only heir to the Mamet family!”
As the voice came through the microphone all over the hall, the crowd couldn’t help but tremble and then look at Caleb Mamet.
A businessman who has cooperated with the Mamet family for many years said with some difficulty, “Mr. Mamet, it’s indeed a good thing to find your legitimate son, but the matter of the heir must not be rushed.”
“Now that Mr. Caleb Mamet is the heir to the Mamet family, and without him, the Mamet Corporation would not have grown rapidly in just a few years. If we change the heir now, wouldn’t it be…”
Others also advised, “That’s right, Mr. Mamet, let’s discuss this matter further.”
“Without Mr. Caleb Mamet, the consequences for the Mamet family would be very serious. Why not find another position for Boyd Drew first, he’s still young after all…”
