Chapter 884 -884: Who Dares to Lay a Finger on Her?

Xaviera Evans’ eyes turned cold. “Let go! Don’t make me say it again.”

Murray Walter didn’t notice the gradually chilling gaze of Xaviera. “You slut! How dare you seduce my man! Have you slept with him? You bitch! I’ll kill you!”

A dull pain radiated from Xaviera’s wrist, turns out, Murray attempted to forcibly remove a jade bracelet from it. The bracelet fit snugly around her wrist. Tearing it off forcefully could harm her skin.

“You’re asking for it!” Xaviera’s gaze darkened and an icy aura emanated from her. She abruptly seized Murray’s rampaging hands.

Murray’s rage was punctuated by a continuous refrain of “Take it off! You don’t deserve to wear this bracelet, it’s mine!”

Soon, the noise in the private room attracted people outside, and the manager hurried over. Upon seeing Murray, he exclaimed, “So, it’s Miss Walter!”

...

Murray, her hair sticking to her face and her clothes soiled, pointed to Xaviera and bellowed, “This woman stole my bracelet and splashed coffee at me! Make her apologize to me immediately and give me the bracelet!”

The manager took a glance at Xaviera, who was sitting on the sofa chair, and recognized something vaguely familiar about her but couldn’t pinpoint her identity. However, Murray Walter was a well-known lady in Lokio. Although she had just arrived at Libanan, he could not afford to offend her. So he walked up to Xaviera promptly and said disapprovingly, “Miss, please return the bracelet to Miss Walter immediately.”

Xaviera glanced indifferently at the manager and snorted, “Review the surveillance footage. Let’s see who actually took whose bracelet.”

There was indeed surveillance inside the private room. The manager took one look at Murray’s face and knew that the young madam was definitely in the wrong. Regardless of who had seized whose item, the final ownership would surely rest with Miss Walter. Otherwise, this lady wouldn’t rest easy.

The manager put on a serious face immediately, “Why make things difficult? While the situation hasn’t escalated, return the bracelet to Miss Walter promptly. Or else, you would be the one to lose face.”

Xaviera slowly looked up, she was surprised that the manager of the Mamet Corporation’s restaurant turned out to be such a shameless person who was more inclined to oppress the weak.

She glanced coldly at Murray. She had never before seen someone so audacious, even when snatching others’ belongings. The Hughes family truly knew how to pick, choosing the most disgraceful one out of many daughters of influential families.

As the manager sided with Murray, she grew more brazen and demanded, “Little Bitch! Give me back the bracelet!”

Seeing Xaviera remain unmoved, the manager, wanting to ingratiate himself with Murray, was just about to snatch the bracelet himself. Just then, the door was pushed open abruptly.

“Who dares to touch her?” A chilling male voice echoed in everyone’s ears and sent shivers down their spines. As the manager was just about to turn and reprimand ‘whoever was so disrespectful’, he found himself staring into a pair of deeply cold eyes, prompting him to break out in a cold sweat. “Mr…. Mr. Russell.”

Julian Russell’s face was shrouded in a gloomy expression, his icy gaze fell on the manager, “What are you trying to do?”

The manager was startled, shivering with fright. The man standing before him was likely the next head of the Russell family, who currently held control over the Russell family’s corporations in the Holy City. To offend Julian Russell would mean antagonizing the entire Russell family.

In recent times, Murray’s brazen behavior could be attributed to the fact that she had been recognized as Julian’s grandfather’s prospective granddaughter-in-law. Although Julian had no interaction with the Hughes family for years, this was, after all, his own granddad. He couldn’t possibly go against his grandfather’s wishes, which is why the manager had spoken up for Murray.

Now seeing Julian’s stern expression, the manager trembled as he tried to explain, “Mr. Russell, this woman stole Miss Walter’s belonging. All I did was to retrieve Miss Walter’s item for her.”

Julian turned towards Xaviera sitting on the sofa chair, his gaze gradually softened. However, when he looked back at the manager, it returned to its icy demeanor. “What did she steal?”

The manager pointed to the bracelet on Xaviera’s wrist, “This bracelet. Miss Walter claimed it’s hers.”

Xaviera glanced at Julian. His presence was regal. In the time they had not seen each other, her older cousin seemed to have matured. He spoke in a detached tone, “What evidence do you have to prove that she stole the item?”

The manager broke into a cold sweat, trembling with fear, “Miss Walter is a noble lady. She wouldn’t slander this miss. Besides, the bracelet is evidently valuable. Only someone of Miss Walter’s status could wear such a piece.”

“Are you saying that Miss Evans is not worthy of wearing it?” Before Julian could finish, another male voice came from the door. It was then Xaviera noticed a young man standing behind Julian.
