Chapter 928 -928: Abdicate and Give Way to the Wise

Jerome Russell sneered, “Mutual affection? Since Sir Hughes didn’t like my grandmother in the first place, why did he ask to marry her? Was it for the Russell family’s power or was it …”

“Stop it! Stop it right now! How does the Russell family educate its younger generation, berating and embarrassing their elders in public like this? It’s outrageous!” Madam Hughes shouted heart-wrenchingly, wishing she could shut Jerome’s mouth.

In the past, there might have been people who knew her as the mistress, but they never exposed her out of respect for the Hughes family. Now, with this live broadcast by the reporters, everyone knows that she isn’t the respectable mistress of the Hughes family, but an unrespectable mistress. She tried so hard for so many years to change her origins and image, but now everything was destroyed by Xaviera Evans and Jerome Russell.

At this moment, Letitia Russell slowly stepped forward, filled with an imposing presence, and opened her aura. Where her gaze fell, people’s breaths stopped. Finally, her gaze landed on Cory Hughes and Madam Hughes. Disgusted, she frowned as if she were dirtying her eyes by merely looking at them. In a deep voice, she said, “When it comes to the education of our younger generation, the Russell family may not be the best, but at least I can guarantee that every child of the Russell family has upstanding character. The children you teach in the Hughes family, on the other hand, are all manipulative. You dare to discuss education with me?”

Zora Hughes clenched her fists tightly, knowing that Letitia was insinuating her. Before she could refute, the surrounding area was already filled with the restless voices of the crowd: “A mistress has the nerve to discuss education with the original wife? Moreover, the Russell family is an aristocratic family. Mrs. Russell has been carefully nurtured since childhood, later becoming the family head of the Russell family. The difference between the two of them is like night and day, and yet she has the nerve to compare herself with Mrs. Russell?”

Madam Hughes’s heart burned with rage, her eyes nearly splitting open with fury. She was about to curse when she was stopped by Zora, who was also holding back her anger with great strength. Her nails dug into her palm, the pain reminding her to remain rational.

After calming herself down for a long time, Zora finally raised her eyes, her voice tearful and pitiful, “Mrs. Russell, although the things that happened in the past are over, we still owe you an apology. On behalf of my grandmother, I apologize to you. But today is the Mamet Corporation’s banquet. We can’t cause trouble here, as it would affect Mr. Caleb Mamet. Let’s not argue anymore. After the banquet is over, can we talk?”

Then she turned to Xaviera and advised earnestly, “Xaviera, you’ve grown up. You can’t act willfully just because of the elders’ indulgence anymore.”

Xaviera raised her eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Zora suddenly brought her up, her eyes flashing with astonishment.

“Xaviera, today is the big day for the Mamet Corporation. Mr. Caleb will have an interview later. You’ve caused so much trouble already, and it has affected the progress of the banquet. If it affects the interview, Mr. Caleb will be unhappy.”

“Now that you’re married and the wife of Mr. Caleb, you should always think of him. You can’t act impulsively just because of yourself. Isn’t what you’re doing a bit selfish?”

Listening to Zora’s nagging advice, Xaviera impatiently picked her ear. So annoying! Just like the village’s old ladies!

At this point, one of the reporters bribed by the Hughes family received Zora’s hint and immediately stood up, loudly reproaching, “Mrs. Mamet! You knowingly brought so many people to make a scene today, the important day for the Mamet Corporation. Do you know how much impact this will have on the Mamet Group? Do you know how great the loss will be?”

“These matters that happened decades ago are still being brought up, embarrassing everyone. The reporters don’t even have time to interview Mr. Caleb. As Mr. Caleb’s wife, you should always put Mr. Caleb first. Yet, now you only care about your own happiness, completely ignoring Mr. Caleb’s face. You are not worthy of being Mrs. Mamet. Only Miss Hughes, a virtuous and gentle woman like her, is the most suitable to be Mrs. Mamet!”

Zora lowered her eyes shyly, thinking that the reporter was quite insightful. The money spent on him was not wasted.

Letitia glanced at Zora, her eyes full of disgust, “Shameless!”

Zora’s body trembled as if she had suffered a huge insult, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. Such a poor, pitiable sight!

The reporter hastily contradicted, “Mrs. Russell, as an elder, how can you say Miss Hughes is shameless? Some people don’t have the ability, yet they desperately want to sit in the position of Mrs. Mamet. In my opinion, Miss Hughes is the most suitable person for Mr. Caleb. Mrs. Mamet should know her place and step down as soon as possible!”
