Chapter 910: Chapter 910: She is young and naive
Zora Hughes looked helpless, âGrandfather, please donât be angry. Cousin Xaviera is now the wife of the president of the Mamet Corporation. She looks down on us because of her pride and arrogance. Your health isnât good; please donât let her affect you. Letâs go home.â
The bystanders overheard her. The people flooding thempany quickly spread the news throughout the hall. Mrs. Mamet had just taken office and was rejecting her own grandfather? This was, after all, her grandfather. Was she refusing even to meet with him when he made a personal trip to thempany to see her?
âCould Mrs. Mamet really be so heartless?â
âShe is young, and itâs normal for her to be headstrong given Mr. Caleb Mametâs doting love for her. But while Mrs. Mamet may not know better, shouldnât Mr. Mamet?â
âI heard that Mr. Caleb Mamet is at a meeting. It must be that Mrs. Mamet doesnât want to meet her relatives because she is afraid they will want to establishnnections with her. She must have told the front desk to drive them away.â
Hearing the crowdâs murmuring, Zoraâs head sunk down. A malicious smile crept across her face. When she looked up again, she looked worried, âGrandfather, letâs just leave. Iâm sureusin Xaviera is too busy to see us and isnât intentionally ignoring us.â
Sir Hughes harrumphedldly, âIâveme here personally to see her, and she doesnât want to see me in return. What obligation does she have that is so pressing she canât even spare a few minutes to meet?â
After speaking, Cory Hughes let out auple of intenseughs, looking as though he wasnsumed by grief.
Zora Hughes helped him to gather his breath and smiled bitterly, âGrandfather, she is married now to Mr. Caleb Mamet. We donât exist in her world anymore. Why fight with her?â
âThatâs too much!â Suddenly someoneuld not help but open their mouth, âJust because she married a president, does that mean she can ignore her elders? What makes her so arrogant?â At this time, a young man in a suit walked over. He wasnât an employee of thempany but came to discuss business with the Mamet Corporation. He spoke calmly, âMiss, donât worry, I will ask for you.â
After he finished speaking, the man walked over to the front desk. Anger filled his brow; âEven if she is the wife of the President, she should meet with her elders! The old man traveled so far to see his granddaughter, and she doesnât give him the time of day. Isnât that a little inhuman?â
The front desk,nfronted with such questioning, suddenly found themselves without an answer, âItâs the presidentâs ordersâŠâ
âHowuld Mr. Caleb Mamet refuse to see his elders? It must be Mrs. Mametâs idea. Sheâs young and doesnât know better, but donât you? After the old manuldnât get in touch with his granddaughter, he traveled a long way to get here. You persist in denying him entry. Can you really bear the responsibility if Mr. Caleb Mamet holds you auntable?â
The man turned to look at Zora Hughes again, seeing her on the brink of tears. His heart softened, âDonât worry. It will be taken care of.â
Zora Hughes lowered her gaze and gave a bitter smile of desperation, âThank you. Iâm used to it. Xaviera is reckless, but she is also kind-hearted. If she knew that grandfather hadme to see her despite his illness, she would certainly relent.â
âNo need to thank me. I canât bear to see a beautiful woman being wronged. I work for the Garye Company. No matter what, I will help you today!â
Seeing Zora Hughes about to cry with grief, his heart ached, âIf Mrs. Mamet still doesnât want to see you, I will go up and find her. Itâs unacceptable to leave an elder standing hereâŠâ
âMiss Hughes, Sir Hughes.â Just then, a sweet voice cut through, interrupting the manâs arrogant speech.
Everyone turned and saw Xaviera Evans slowly making her way towards them. Her indifferent eyes flicked over the crowd, finally settling on Zora. Before Zora had a chance to speak, the young man stepped forward, âMrs. Mamet, your grandfather has been waiting for you downstairs for a long time. You didnât answer his call nor meet him, and even had the front desk drive him away. Youâre being too extreme!â
Xaviera scanned the manâs name tag on his suit, with uncerned eyes. Zora certainly had charm; she had just managed to get someone to stand up for her.
Zora let out a triumphant laugh, regardless of what her grandfather had done, he was Xavieraâs grandfather. If Xaviera wouldnât acknowledge her grandfather, that would bensidered disrespectful. Even though she was in a high position, she would be looked down upon by everyone.
âXaviera, youâre now married to Mr. Caleb Mamet and want to sever ties with us, I understand. ButâŠâ Zoraâs face filled with sorrow, and sheuldnât help but sob.
