Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Good Luck to You All
Xavieraâs private messages and comments were filled with curses from numerous netizens, dominating the hot search list, when she suddenly received a phone call from the Hughes family.
âXaviera, you must have heard about it already, my grandfather and I really didnât do it on purpose, we never expected to be photographed by those reporters, Iâm sorryâŠâ On the other end of the phone, Zora Hughesâ voice was filled with guilt.
Xaviera was silent for a few seconds before suddenly scoffing, âIt wasnât intentional?â
âXaviera, actually that marriage agreementâŠâ
Xaviera coldly interrupted Zora, âThat marriage agreement was originally made by my mother and the hostess of the Mamet family, Madam Winni Drew. Just because my mother was a part of the Hughes family, and you are the noble lady of the Hughes family, you think that the marriage agreement should naturally belong to you, right?â
Zora listened to Xavieraâs words, her heart suddenly tightening. But since there was no marriage certificate for this marriage agreement, it was impossible to determine who it belonged to. As long as the Hughes family insisted that it was hers, no one would believe Xavieraâs explanation, and the seeds of doubt would take root in the hearts of others. Xaviera would be pointed out no matter where she went.
The marriage agreement was a verbal agreement between Nina Hughes and Winni Drew, without any tangible evidence. Moreover, both of them were already dead. Zora didnât ask for everyone to blame Xaviera, as long as there was someone questioning her, it was enough.
Zora smiled triumphantly but pretended to be sad, âXaviera, Iâm really sorry. I didnât want to ruin your reputation. Iâve been trying to restrain myself, but why donât you have any remorse for what you did wrong?â
Xaviera coldly replied, âHuh!â
âXaviera, did you know that the Mamet Corporation is planning a banquet? Most people in the upper class have received invitations, including the Hughes family. Mr. Caleb Mamet is willing to invite the Hughes family to the banquet, which means he doesnât dislike the Hughes family too much. So I hope you can also let go of the past misunderstandings and get along well with us.â
Xaviera glanced at the messages on the screen. Caleb Mamet invited the Hughes family to the banquet not because he had forgiven them, but for ulterior motives.
âXaviera, my grandparents and I will attend the banquet. Will you be mad? I really donât want to ruin your relationship with them!â
Listening to Zoraâs smug words, Xaviera instantly understood that Zoraâs call wasnât to apologize at all. On the contrary, it was to show off, thinking she had caught Caleb Mametâs eye and thus came to flaunt in front of Xaviera, Mrs. Mamet.
âYour legs are yours to command. Where you want to go has nothing to do with us, so Iâll just wish you good luck!â Xaviera said with a meaningful smile before hanging up the phone.
Wish us good luck? Zora was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a bit uneasy. Did Xaviera have a plan? Or was she just trying to scare them?
Looking at the invitation in her hand, Zora thought it was just Xaviera being unwilling and saying that on purpose. She turned to Cory Hughes and said with a downcast expression, âGrandfather, my cousin still blames me.â
Madam Hughes snapped harshly, âWhat right does she have to blame you? This marriage agreement is originally yours! The marriage agreement made by Nina Hughes of course belongs to Miss Hughes! How can it fall on that wild girl Xaviera? Besides, Nina is already dead. The marriage agreement should be decided by us. That dead girl Xaviera dared to take it upon herself, snatching your marriage!â
Madam Hughes chuckled triumphantly. Over the years, she had gone from a destitute daughter to the hostess of the Hughes family. Could she not handle one Xaviera? Even with the Russell family supporting Xaviera, they couldnât prove whose marriage agreement it was. They could even counterclaim that the Russell family abused their power and bullied people.
What about Letitia Russell marrying Cory Hughes back then? In the end, she still ended up divorced, and her daughter Nidya Hughes even abandoned her.
âZora, look at the momentum on the internet now. Everyone is speaking up for you, and no one believes in Xaviera. She hasnât come forward to explain yet, and she wonât be able to clear things up later on.â
A smile curled up at the corner of Zoraâs mouth. Xaviera didnât want to explain, because she couldnât. Who would believe her without any evidence?
Suddenly, Madam Hughes frowned and asked, âAnd one more important thing, has there been any news about the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand?â
Zora shook her head, helplessly saying, âThereâs still no news. I heard that the Miracle Doctor Saint Handâs successor doesnât care about money, he treats patients according to his mood. But others havenât been able to treat your and grandfatherâs illnesses, so we can only continue to wait.â
