Chapter 805 -805: Xaviera, long time no see
A while ago, the scandal about the real and fake heiresses caused quite a stir, and everyone had heard about it. If Mrs. Mamet was really Nidya Hughesâs daughter, then Zora Hughes and Mrs. Mamet would indeed be cousins.
Everyone instinctively looked at Zora. Xaviera also noticed the young woman in the crowd.
Zora smiled and went over to say hello, âXaviera, long time no see.â
Xaviera glanced at the woman in front of her, not expecting to encounter Sally so soon. She really didnât want to see this woman!
When they were abroad, she and Sally didnât get along, and now they met again in their home country. Besides, she heard that Sallyâs last name was Hughes, so what was her relationship with Nidya Hughes?
Zora smiled and said, âYou might not know this, but Iâm the daughter of the Hughes family, Nidya is my aunt, so Iâm your cousin.â
Xaviera just nodded, her expression showing no change.
Zora smiled gently, âXaviera, I felt we had a good connection before, and I didnât expect that youâd be my cousin. Are you also here for the Perfume Exchange Conference today? So, youâre a perfumer too?â
The room fell silent, with eyes flickering between the two of them.
People who attended the Perfume Exchange Conference were either perfumers or representatives of various companies, but Xaviera held no position in the Mamet Corporation. She had no qualifications to represent the Mamet Corporation, so in what capacity was she attending?
Zora found Xavieraâs weak spot, deliberately exposing the wound in public, âXaviera, ever since your aunt divorced, she has been crying all day, nearly going blind from it. I donât know what happened between you two, but she is, after all, your mother. What grudges could there be between a mother and daughter? I hope you can find the time to come to the Hughes family with me and see your auntâŠâ
âMiss Hughes said that she doesnât know what happened, so what qualifications do you have to say these things in front of Xaviera?â Caleb Mamet interrupted Zoraâs words, his voice calm, yet chilly.
Zora trembled, her face pale.
At the other side, Boyd Drewâs assistant brought the young Drew family members in, and when they saw Zoraâs aggrieved face, they were unhappy. The Drew family and Caleb Mamet had never gotten along, and they seized the chance to confront him, âMrs. Mamet, this is a Perfume Exchange Conference. Unrelated people cannot participate. Do you want to leave now, or do you want us to have someone escort you out?â
Caleb Mamet was exuding a murderous vibe, but Xaviera just smiled and asked, âDo you intend to drive me away?â
âIf Mrs. Mamet is sensible, sheâd leave voluntarily. It would be embarrassing if you were thrown out. Weâre not targeting you specifically; this is just the rule of the Perfume Exchange Conference.â The Drew family members were smug.
Xaviera went to sit down on a sofa in the resting area, leaning lazily to one side, and asked softly, âOn what basis does Miss Hughes have the right to be here?â
Upon hearing this question, the Drew family burst into laughter.
Zora hurriedly explained, âXaviera, have you forgotten? Iâm the internationally renowned perfumer, Sally, and Iâm the chief perfumer invited by the Drew family.â
After finishing, Zora looked at Caleb Mamet again and spoke gently, âMr. Caleb Mamet, long time no see. I never wouldâve thought your wife would be Xaviera. Weâre quite fated.â
All the people present knew that Zora was the chief perfumer invited by the Drew family, yet Mrs. Mamet still asked such a foolish question in public. It was embarrassing for Mr. Caleb Mamet!
Xavieraâs eyes were clear, and she spoke slowly, âSo, Miss Hughes is attending the conference on behalf of the Drew family?â
Zora was about to nod when Xaviera laughed softly, âThen why canât I attend on behalf of the Mamet Corporation?â
If it were any other time, it wouldnât be a problem for Mrs. Mamet to attend any banquet representing the Mamet Corporation. However, the Perfume Exchange Conference had strict requirements; only people involved in perfume-making and corporate executives could participate. Mrs. Mamet obviously didnât meet either of these conditions.
Caleb Mamet stood by Xavieraâs side, still looking indifferent.
Sean Price spoke loudly, âItâs not just Miss Hughes who can participate in perfume-making. Our wife is the designer for the new fragrance packaging of the Mamet Corporation, so sheâs definitely qualified to attend the Perfume Exchange Conference.â
The whole room was in an uproar; it was apparent that people didnât believe Xaviera could design packaging.
Zora looked somewhat wronged, with her eyes downcast, âI apologize. I just didnât expect the Mamet Corporation would hand over the perfume packaging design to Mrs. Mamet.â
âSince Miss Hughes knew our wife earlier on and should be aware of her identity, how could you still ask such a tasteless question?â
Sean Priceâs face showed disdain, âOur wife is the internationally renowned designer, Lohill. You must know her, right, Miss Hughes?â
