Chapter 925: Chapter 925: Mrs. Russell Provides Support

Madam Hughes glared at Xaviera Evans, her eyes filled with malice and viciousness, nothing like the kindly and gentle appearance of the hostess of the Hughes family. Her tone was sharp and caustic, “Xaviera! You stole Zora’s fiance, and then you took Windrop Entertainment, but now you refuse to apologize! You’re nothing but a third wheel, and sooner or later Mr. Caleb Mamet will tire of you!”

Upon hearing Madam Hughes’s curses, everyone was puzzled, why did Xaviera’s grandmother despise her so much? Was it because she was cunning and sneaky, and over time, Madam Hughes had grown sick of her?

For some reason, Cory Hughes felt uneasy in his heart. Every time he looked at Xaviera’s face, there was an inexplicable sense of tension. He began to mediate, “Xaviera, your grandmother may be a bit strict, but she does it for your own good. You took Zora’s fiance, so you indeed became a third wheel. You should formally apologize to Zora. She’s your sister, and she’ll surely forgive you.”

“Cory! How dare you bully my granddaughter!”

At this moment, an authoritative female voice came from outside the door, startling everyone. They hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mrs. Russell wearing a wine-red suit, her makeup exquisite, and an air of nobility emanating from her whole body.

Mr. Jerome Russell helped Madam Russell enter the room, and Xaviera quickly stepped forward, her face full of smiles, “Grandmother, cousin, you’re here!”

Grandmother? Cousin? Xaviera’s maternal grandfather was Cory Hughes, so her grandmother should be Madam Hughes, right? Why did she call Madam Russell her grandmother?

A journalist who had been bribed by the Hughes family immediately accused, “Mrs. Mamet, just because Madam Hughes scolded you a few times, you’re discontent and even insist on calling someone else as your grandmother in front of so many people!”

Some well-informed reporters gave him a meaningful glance, but the journalist still looked puzzled. Who was this Mrs. Russell, and why did everyone become quiet as soon as she arrived?

Letitia Russell’s expression was calm and her demeanor proud. As soon as she appeared, everyone else seemed dim and uninteresting. Even Cory was not worthy enough to carry her shoes!

Jerome Russell looked coldly at the journalist who had just spoken, “Are the standards for journalists so low nowadays? Can any random person become a journalist?”

The journalist’s face turned livid, and he clenched his teeth, “Mrs. Mamet, please answer my question.”

“What’s wrong with my cousin calling her grandmother? Allow me to introduce her formally. This is the esteemed Mrs. Letitia Russell of the Russell family. I’m sure you’ve all heard of her!”

Of course, everyone had heard of the name Mrs. Russell. Decades ago, her name had already resounded throughout the Holy City. She was the most precious daughter of the Russell family and the only female family head of the Russell family for a century. Her leadership style was resolute and decisive, and under her management, the Russell family became more prosperous than ever. Even those who once looked down on her couldn’t help but admit their admiration.

If Mrs. Russell was Xaviera’s grandmother, did it mean that Xaviera’s mother was her daughter?

Jerome Russell smiled at Xaviera, “Cousin, they’re so silly! They can’t even understand such a simple question!”

Xaviera looked calm, responding with a faint smile, “Their IQs are just too low. It’s so tiring talking to these people!”

“Haha!” Jerome Russell couldn’t help but laugh. Then he grinned at Cory Hughes, “Oh! Grandpa! You’re here too! It’s been decades since we last met, hasn’t it?”

Cory’s face turned livid, and he lowered his head without uttering a word. He finally understood why Xaviera was so calm. How could the Mamet Corporation organize such a grand party without inviting the Russell family? With the Russell family backing Xaviera, she naturally had nothing to fear.

Jerome Russell had a gentle demeanor and fair complexion, hardly any worse than a popular movie star. The journalists immediately pointed their cameras at him, and then heard him say unhurriedly, “Grandpa seems not to want to see me! I understand, after all, I’ve never seen you since I was born. It’s not like Zora, my cousin who grew up by your side. Naturally, you’re much closer to her.”

Did Jerome Russell just call Zora his cousin? What exactly was their relationship?

Upon seeing Letitia Russell, Madam Hughes’s face instantly changed, as if she had been struck by lightning. The anger she had just displayed was now replaced by fear, a deep sense of dread emanating from her bones.

Zora Hughes felt a sudden shiver in her heart, sensing that something was not right.

At this moment, Letitia Russell raised her eyes slowly, her voice cold, “It seems that the Hughes family doesn’t want to see me huh!”

Cory’s face was twisted, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and his expression extremely awkward, “Letitia Russell…”
