Chapter 944 -944: Forced to Plead Guilty
Madam Hughes stared at Xaviera Evans fiercely, suddenly clutched her chest, and cried out loud, âOh my, my heart hurts so much! Mr. Caleb Mamet, if you donât want to admit to the marriage, thatâs fine, but why do you have to slander Zora about having another fiancĂ©? Are you trying to drive her to death?â
âZora has always thought of you as her fiancĂ© since she was a child. To protect Xaviera, you actually abandon a girl who has deep feelings for you. Can you bear it? If you donât like her, just say it directly. Why do you have to insult her like this?â
âXaviera! It must be you who told Mr. Caleb Mamet to say that. You stole Zoraâs engagement and ruined her life. Now you want to bite back. You are so ruthless!â
As Madam Hughes spoke, her breath suddenly stopped, her face turned red, and she fell to the ground weakly. Luckily, Cory Hughes and Jonas Hughes quickly supported her.
Jonas immediately became anxious, âMom! Donât scare me! Itâs all my fault for not being filial. If it werenât for my insistence on Zora fulfilling the engagement and demanding justice for her, things wouldnât have come to this point. Now Zoraâs reputation is ruined, and my motherâs health is collapsing. Mr. Caleb Mamet, we donât want anything anymore, letâs just call it quits!â
Hearing her fatherâs words, tears welled up in Zoraâs eyes, and she looked worried, âGrandma, I am sorry! We will go home now. Please, donât let anything happen to you!â
Zora raised her eyes, filled with tears, and announced to everyone, âEveryone, in fact, what Mr. Caleb Mamet said is true. I indeed have a fiancĂ©. Todayâs incident is all my fault. I shouldnât have fought for something that wasnât mine to begin with.â
As she spoke, she looked at Xaviera with a choked voice, âXaviera, I know you hate me. If you have any grievances in your heart, just take them out on me, please donât give my grandmother a hard time. She is old and canât withstand such torment. Even if⊠please.â
Her voice trembled violently, filled with grief. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and her pitiful appearance made people feel heartache.
Finally, someone couldnât bear it and indignantly said, âMrs. Mamet is clearly oppressing others with her power! Look at Miss Hughesâs sad face. Sheâs so pitiful!â
âJust now, Mrs. Mamet teased Miss Hughes about Madam Hughesâ promotion as a mistress in the past, but that happened decades ago and has nothing to do with Miss Hughes. Now she fabricated that Miss Hughes has a fiancĂ© already. Miss Hughes is filial and canât bear to see Madam Hughes suffer. So she has to admit guilt. Mrs. Mamet is really bullying too much.â
Zora hung her head, revealing a smug smile. Heartbroken, she said, âMr. Caleb Mamet, Xaviera, Iâm sorry. Iâm the one who spoiled the party and your relationship. I admit that I covet Mrs. Mametâs position, and I want to destroy your marriage. I do have a fiancĂ©. Itâs my fault. Iâm sorry to everyone!â
She lowered her eyes, tears pouring out, her face full of grievance and coercion. It looked as if Xaviera forced her to confess with power, and she could only endure the humiliation and admit it.
Zora wiped her tears, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. She wanted to see how Xaviera could refute it.
âMiss Hughes, itâs really hard for you to say whatâs in your heart in front of so many people!â Xaviera looked at Zora with a smile, and the insipid tone immediately aroused peopleâs anger.
What right does she have to be so arrogant?
Nidya Hughes suddenly cursed, âXaviera! You scoundrel, what have you done to Zora? How can you say that? Do you still have a conscience?â
Letitia Russell stared at him coldly, and Nidya felt a chill in his heart, but still forced himself to speak up, âXaviera has been drifting around since she was a child, with a stubborn personality. She clearly stole Zoraâs engagement, but now she slanders Zora for having a fiancĂ© and forces her to take the blame. Yet she still has the audacity to make sarcastic remarks here. Am I wrong to say she has no conscience?â
âXaviera! Apologize to Zora right now! You never change! Youâre still so arrogant even after stealing someone elseâs engagement. Zoraâs fiancĂ© is Mr. Caleb Mamet! You shut up with your nonsense!â
As soon as the words fell, Xaviera snapped her fingers, and the big screen suddenly flashed. She raised her eyebrows and asked, âAre you sure Zora doesnât have another fiancĂ©?â
The crowd hesitated for a moment and suddenly looked at the big screen. When they saw what was on it, their faces turned pale, and Coryâs face darkened.
Impossible! How could Caleb Mamet find this evidence?
