Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Choose One of Two
Xaviera Evans casually said, âRight now, there are only two possible explanations. Either Miss Hughes intentionally occupied Lounge 108, forcing me to come to Lounge 109 and faked the note, or Kori Drew was bold enough to write a note to clear himself. Mr. Drew, itâs up to you to explain.â
Clenching his teeth, Boyd Drew realized that Xaviera was forcing him to choose between Zora Hughes and Kori Drew, offending one of them in the process.
Zoraâs face turned pale, she didnât expect that she still couldnât escape Xavieraâs suspicion and it seemed that Boyd already distrusted her.
At this moment, a high-ranking member of the Drew family spoke up unhappily, âMrs. Mamet, this is a perfume exchange event, making a scene would do no good to either party. Even if you didnât write that note, it doesnât prove that Kori or Miss Hughes did. You have no right to punish them. Youâve already beaten Kori, heâs paid the price, what more do you want?â
âSend it for handwriting identification,â Xaviera casually replied.
âBut if we really do go for handwriting identification, that will indeed create a huge scandal. I am the internationally renowned designer Xaviera Evans from Lohill, also Caleb Mametâs wife. When the truth comes out, no matter who set me up, the Drew family will suffer a huge loss.â
A high-ranking member of the Drew family was unwilling to give in, âHow can you be sure itâs not something you staged?â
Both Kori Drew and Zora Hughes were vital members of the Drew Corporation; they couldnât just abandon one of them because of Xavieraâs words. They couldnât bear such a huge loss for the Drew Corporation.
âBoyd.â
After a long silence, Caleb Mamet suddenly spoke with a hint of murderous intent in his voice, âSince the Drew family is not satisfied with Mrs. Mametâs conclusions, letâs send the note for identification.â
âIf the Drew family offends Mrs. Mamet, it means offending me, Caleb Mamet. I donât mind fighting against you all. I want to see who is bold enough to lay a hand on her!â
As his words fell, Boydâs heart trembled. He had devoted all his energy to the new perfume line, and now that the problem with Cold Night was seemingly resolved, he couldnât afford any more issues.
If he insisted on confronting Caleb, the latter would undoubtedly try his best to strike against the Drew Corporation. The about-to-be-launched new perfume would surely be doomed, and all their previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, the Drew family would have to bear the infamy of framing the designer of the Mamet Corporation, and they would never be able to hold their heads high in the industry.
Boyd clenched his fists, his face pale and hesitating for a long time before he slowly looked up and spoke in a gentle tone, âIâm so sorry, Mrs. Mamet. This time itâs our fault for not managing our men properly. Rest assured that the Drew family will give you a satisfactory response.â
Hearing those words, Xaviera couldnât help but smirk.
After the Drew family left, some people whispered, âCould the Drew family really have set Mrs. Mamet up?â
âWhy would Mrs. Mamet, who is married to such a handsome and wealthy man as Mr. Caleb Mamet, even look at someone like Kori Drew? Moreover, she wouldnât have planned a secret meeting with him in the restroom during a perfume exchange event. Anyone with a brain wouldnât do such a thing. Look at how guilty Boyd and Zora looked, they must have done something wrong.â
âSo whatâs the deal with Tobey Swift?â
People gathered around, speculating that Tobey was merely a scapegoat.
On the other side, Tobey had just returned to the restroom when she received a call from the Mamet family and was scolded by her elders. As she hurriedly left the clubhouse, someone pushed her hard, and she fell face-first into the mud.
She was wearing only a thin dress and was in so much pain that she hissed and gritted her teeth. Blood seeped from her arm and knee.
Seeing her miserable state, people showed disdain on their faces. However, by the time she looked up, she could no longer find the person who had pushed her.
âŠ
Having dealt with the Drew family, Xaviera and Caleb returned to the private room. Xaviera was in a good mood, âBoyd must be having a hard time now. To launch the new perfume, he can only sacrifice Kori and protect Zora.â
âYes, and he will launch the new perfume as soon as possible, to quickly seize the market and avoid our retaliation,â Caleb agreed.
As the conversation subsided, Caleb suddenly stood up, grabbed Xaviera, and pushed her against the wall, restraining her tightly as his hot breath enveloped her.
The manâs voice was hoarse and low, âXaviera, do you realize your mistake?â
