Chapter 940 -940: Trash Belongs in the Trash Can

“Zora Hughes, don’t think that your little schemes can deceive me! I happened to be there when you instigated Basil Carter, and I recorded your conversation. Even without the recording, do you think I wouldn’t be able to find evidence? If you don’t want people to know what you’ve done, don’t do it in the first place!”

“You claim to have a good relationship with Xaviera, but you secretly poison her behind her back! You little hypocrite, showing different faces in front of others! You’re garbage, and you belong in the trash can! Don’t think that everybody is as gullible as Carter, being enticed by your beauty. Just because he’s a fool doesn’t mean that everyone else is!”

With a loud bang, some photos and documents were thrown in front of Zora Hughes.

There was complete silence in the room, and the guests shuddered with fear, looking at Zora. Everyone suspected that she had something to do with the poisoning. After all, when Carter was driven out, he shouted that it was Zora who had harmed him. In the end, Zora cried and complained, and the matter was put to rest. But now, Mr. Russell had actually obtained evidence.

Zora’s face turned pale, and she didn’t expect Jerome Russell to have recorded their conversation and exposed it in public. At this moment, she looked at the photos and documents on the ground, her body stiff and her mind in chaos.

Upon hearing Jerome’s words, the men who were fond of Zora felt offended and argued back: “Mr. Russell, who knows if your evidence is real or fake? Your wealthy Russell family could have easily fabricated it.”

“Can’t you see it for yourself whether it’s real or not? Oh, right, I forgot that you’re all blind; otherwise, you wouldn’t be attracted to Zora’s kind, the one with a human face and a beastly heart! Since you’re blind, let me kindly tell you: Miss Hughes has secretly bought this kind of poison, and it might still be hidden in the Hughes family’s house! Just like her grandmother, the mistress, she knows how to play tricks behind people’s backs. Your grandmother was a shameless mistress, and now you want to be one too, trying to destroy Xaviera’s marriage and poison her! Do you still have a face to live in this world?”

“How do you Hughes people educate your children? It’s really bad luck to meet people like you! I’m glad that my grandmother divorced that scum man and left the Hughes family with my father decades ago; otherwise, our generation would have been taught by the Hughes and become as vicious as Miss Hughes!”

Jerome’s words didn’t leave any face to the Hughes family, as if he had slapped them hard in the face. Their faces turned red with anger.

Nidya Hughes gritted her teeth: “Xaviera!”

“Jerome.” A cold and majestic voice came slowly, and a man in a gray suit walked forward. His eyes were cold, his face handsome, and he exuded an invisible oppressive aura.

Julian Russell’s whole body emitted an air of nobility and elegance, the demeanor of the future head of the Russell family. He looked indifferently at the Hughes family and spoke calmly: “Jerome, you are a young master of the Russell family. How can you argue with a group of morally corrupted people? Won’t that degrade your own status?”

Jerome laughed wildly: “Third brother, you’re right. There’s no point in arguing with a group of morally bankrupt people. Since they don’t care about their own dignity, what else can they care about?”

After finishing, he looked at Zora with a mocking expression on his face, “Don’t think that the poisoning matter is over. Our grudge has just begun! You plotted against my cousin, and I’ll make you pay a painful price!”

Zora’s face changed, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She choked with reddened eyes, “Cousin, I really didn’t poison her. I’ve been wronged! Besides, today is the banquet of the Mamet Corporation. Why should we make things so tense? Mr. Caleb Mamet is about to announce important news, and we can’t let our trivial matters affect the big picture.”

Jerome couldn’t stand Zora’s pretentiousness and was about to argue back, but he was stopped by Julian. His gaze was indifferent, with a hint of mockery, “Miss Hughes, you just mentioned that Mr. Mamet is about to announce important news. Is it about an engagement between the two families? Do you really believe that this engagement belongs to you?”

Zora tried to maintain her composure, her voice trembling slightly, “Cousin, why won’t you believe me? The poisoning does have something to do with me, as Carter attacked Xaviera to vent my anger. But I’ve already apologized, and Carter has been punished. Why won’t you forgive me? I know you must all be blaming me for being in a relationship with Caleb. But what’s wrong with taking back what belongs to me?”
