Chapter 983 -983: A Dangerous Family Feast

Xaviera Evans smiled warmly, her voice soft, “Are you the real Nidya Hughes?”

Suddenly it fell quiet around them. Nidya slowly raised her eyes, and the emptiness within them seemed to crack open a little. Her voice indifferent, she answered, “I am.”

Xaviera was stunned. Her grandmother and uncle suspected she was not the real Nidya, but now, under hypnosis, she still confirmed her identity.

If hypnotism could control someone as strong-willed as Caleb Mamet, it could definitely control Nidya. And her state just now was clearly already under hypnosis. In this case, she wouldn’t lie.

Could she really be Nidya Hughes?

Ding, dong, dong!

Suddenly Nidya’s cell phone rang. Her hollow eyes gradually regained clarity, clouded by anger and coldness. She had no memory of what just transpired and warned menacingly, “You must come to the family banquet this time, or you’ll bear the consequences!”

Xaviera was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly. “All right, when does it start?”

Nidya didn’t seem to expect Xaviera to agree so easily and took a few seconds to reply. “Seven o’clock in the evening.”

“OK.” Xaviera nodded.

Nidya smirked triumphantly. Xaviera was just being stubborn but in the end, was afraid of the power of the Hughes family and did not want to offend them, so she would obediently attend the family banquet.

Once she arrived at the Hughes residence, they could deal with her slowly!

As Xaviera watched Nidya walk away, she indeed agreed to attend the banquet, but she would not arrive on time. She wanted the Hughes family to be anxious and, preferably, send someone to personally invite her.

…

Lowen Clubhouse.

As soon as Xaviera entered, she went straight to the bedroom and found her grandfather’s notes. They recorded that if someone was hypnotized, what they said would definitely be true. Nidya hadn’t lied. So there were only two possibilities: either she was indeed Nidya Hughes and, for some unknown reason, her personality changed and she now hated her older brother, older sister, and mother intensely.

The other possibility was that she was not the real Nidya Hughes, but she always thought she was. Maybe she had amnesia or some other reason, but the important thing was that she subconsciously believed she was the real Nidya Hughes.

Uncle and grandmother always thought the real Nidya Hughes was still out there, a thorn in their hearts, and a hope. But if this person was indeed Nidya Hughes, then all their previous efforts and determination would have been in vain.

Xaviera couldn’t imagine how heartbroken and helpless they would be when they found out.

She closed her grandfather’s notes. Upon further thought, when Nidya Hughes was young, she was only five or six years old. How could she have pretended at that time? Back then, she truly liked her older brother, older sister, and mother. If she were pretending, how could her grandmother not see through it?

As she was contemplating, Caleb Mamet entered the room. “I heard you’re going to the Hughes family banquet?”

Xaviera nodded.

Caleb took off his coat, sat down beside her, and embraced her from behind. His voice was low and husky, “Mrs. Mamet, you know they’re up to no good, but you still want to attend?”

“I’m not stupid. I’ll be careful. And what can they do with those bunch of fools?” Xaviera scoffed disdainfully. But Caleb’s face remained cold, “Mrs. Mamet, you have to remember, safety always comes first. I don’t want you to take any risks.”

“Yeah.” Xaviera obediently nodded, then whispered, “I think the Hughes family still don’t know that I’m the descendant of the miracle doctor Saint Hand. They must have invited me back for the inheritance that my mother left behind. I tested Nidya today, and she was indeed very nervous. If Cory Hughes wants those things, he’ll need my signature, so he won’t harm me for now. However, they might try to control me first, like…”

“Poisoning you?” Caleb’s face darkened, then chuckled, “But you are invulnerable to poison! It seems you’ve already planned everything. Even if you go, they won’t really hurt you. But are you so sure that there’s no danger at all?”

Looking into Caleb’s deep eyes, Xaviera felt a little guilty. Of course, there was no such thing as completely danger-free, but she was confident that she wouldn’t be hurt by the incompetent Hughes family. She decided to attend the family banquet and show them what she was capable of.

Caleb stared at her seriously. “Mrs. Mamet, I hope you protect yourself, or you’ll regret it.”

Hearing his deep, hoarse voice, Xaviera shivered involuntarily and swallowed.
