Chapter 985 -985: Going to the Feast Alone

Xaviera Evans had long known that the Hughes family had something left behind by her mother, but she wasn’t sure what it was, let alone that it was a design.

The Evans Group had started out as a fashion design business, but she had never heard that her mother was also a designer. And since her mother had stopped dealing with the Hughes family when she was a child, why would she leave her design with the Hughes family?

“Sir Hughes is indeed very clever, using my mother’s legacy to force me to go back.” Xaviera’s eyes narrowed, and her voice gradually grew cold.

Cory Hughes smiled triumphantly, “How could it be coercion? You are a child of the Hughes family, and of course, we all hope you can come back. Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!”

“Fine.” Xaviera’s eyes were full of coldness as she hung up the phone.

On the other side, the smile on Cory Hughes’s face suddenly disappeared, and his gaze became gradually vicious: “Scoundrel! When she arrives at the Hughes family, I’ll see how arrogant she can be.”

Zora Hughes pretended to be worried: “Grandpa, are we really going to give Xaviera that kind of thing to drink? But…”

“Zora!” Nidya Hughes immediately persuaded, “You’re just too kind-hearted. Since Xaviera can’t be of use to us, let her be poisoned like us. In order to save her life, she will definitely search for the antidote everywhere. In this way, we can detoxificate through her.”

“You are the future heir of the Hughes family, and you must be ruthless when necessary. She is just an outsider. Can she be worth the lives of our entire Hughes family?”

Zora nodded, a trace of sinister passing through the bottom of her eyes.

At this time, Jonas Hughes’s wife instinctively looked at Nidya Hughes. Wasn’t it said that Xaviera was Nidya Hughes’s own daughter? Why would she be so malicious as to harm her own daughter?

Seeing Mrs. Hughes staring at herself, Nidya Hughes glared at her and asked coldly, “What are you looking at?”

Jonas, seeing this, did not protect his wife but scolded her instead: “If it weren’t for the fact that you are Zora’s mother, do you think you have the qualifications to attend the family banquet? Since I let you attend, you should behave and not say what you shouldn’t. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer! Apologize to Nidya right away!”

Mrs. Hughes lowered her head and bit her lip, saying nothing.

Nidya Hughes sneered: “Forget it, I don’t want to bother with her. Look at her pathetic appearance. I feel annoyed just to look at her. If it weren’t for her giving birth to Zora, she would have been kicked out a long time ago.”

Mrs. Hughes’s face became even more embarrassed, her fingers interlocked, looking uneasy.

Zora, who was beside her, saw her mother being scolded but didn’t say a word, and there was no trace of heartache in her eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger.

At this time, Xaviera had already left the Lowen Clubhouse and was driving to the Hughes Villa.

Steve Price anxiously called out, “CEO! Don’t you hear me? Those bastards from the Hughes family are threatening Mrs. Mamet! Are you going to let her deal with those people alone? They must have ulterior motives! You better protect her quickly! If you don’t go, let me go. With me around, they won’t dare to bully her!”

Caleb Mamet and Sean Price looked at each other meaningfully, apparently only Steve, the fool, didn’t understand that no one could threaten her if she didn’t want to go. Moreover, she agreed to go because Cory Hughes agreed to return the relic of Nidya Hughes. Since she knew the people from the Hughes family had ill intentions, she went confidently on her own, indicating that she had already had a plan and could assure her safe return.

Sean Price’s first impression of Xaviera was a weak little girl, but later he found out that his wife’s methods were no less than those of the CEO. This time she went, those who should be afraid were the people of the Hughes family! Moreover, she was never a weak person who needed protection. If Steve went, he would just be a nuisance.

After a moment of silence, Caleb Mamet smiled slightly, “How can I rest assured and let my lovely and kind-hearted Mrs. Mamet go alone? So, I’d better go myself.”

Steve Price and Sean Price looked at each other, their faces full of disdain. Ever since he got a wife, the CEO had changed, and he was showing off his love all the time.

…

At eight o’clock in the evening.

Xaviera arrived at the Hughes family, the original time for the banquet was seven o’clock. Everyone had been sitting and waiting for a full hour, their faces gloomy, and Nidya Hughes was even more furious, almost crushing the cup in her hand.

Xaviera came in, waved to everyone, and smiled slightly, “Everyone is here! Why haven’t you started the meal yet?”
