Nidya Hughes, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but yell angrily, “How dare you say that! This is all because of you! How did I tell you earlier? The banquet starts at seven, but it’s already eight o’clock now and you just arrived, making so many elders wait with empty stomachs, are you even ashamed?”

Xaviera glanced at her, unconcerned, “It’s not like I wanted to come. Weren’t you the ones who invited me? If you can’t even wait for an hour, then what sincerity do you have?”

Nidya Hughes’s face reddens with anger, her head throbbing with blood, having a conversation with Xaviera could shorten her life by ten years.

Meanwhile, Steve Price hiding outside the door heard this and couldn’t help but sigh. They shouldn’t have worried about protecting Madam with this group of the Hughes family lurking like tigers, as she seems indifferent to their threats.

Standing next to him was Caleb Mamet, grinning meaningfully. They had already arrived at the entrance of the Hughes Villa when Xaviera entered, but they didn’t rush in, instead, they stood outside eavesdropping.

Xaviera’s demeanor made everyone present uneasy. Zora Hughes immediately stepped forward patiently and reminded her, “Xaviera, you are the younger generation, shouldn’t you greet so many elders when you see them?”

Nidya Hughes roared angrily, “This rude girl! What a disgrace!”

“Since Mrs. Hughes finds my presence disgraceful, I might as well leave! I didn’t want to come in the first place, and my husband has plans to take me to a big dinner tonight.” Saying that, Xaviera headed for the door.

Cory Hughes got anxious, glared at Nidya and said hurriedly, “Xaviera! Don’t get angry! Your mother is a bit impatient, but she meant well for you. Don’t mind her, come and take your seat!”

“Since Sir Hughes insists, I’ll reluctantly stay.” Xaviera smiled and walked straight to the empty seat, sitting down.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on her, like a pack of hungry wolves. Nidya tried to calm down and soften her tone, “Xaviera, why didn’t Mr. Caleb Mamet come with you?”

Xaviera didn’t hesitate to answer, “This is the Hughes family’s banquet, why should he come? Besides, he’s too busy to attend such a boring banquet.”

Nidya choked at that, and each of Xaviera’s words seemed to raise her blood pressure. But since Caleb hadn’t come, they could proceed with their plans to deal with Xaviera.

“Xaviera, during the previous wedding snatching incident, you didn’t say anything for Zora. She’s been criticized by netizens for so many days, feeling terrible. Can you really bear to watch your sister suffer humiliation?” Nidya accused.

A servant then came over and poured a cup of coffee for Xaviera. She picked it up without any suspicion and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing her drink the coffee, everyone revealed an evil smile.

Madam Hughes scolded as well, “That’s right! Zora is your sister, yet you stood by idly watching her suffer! How heartless you are!”

Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that the Hughes family had spent a lot of money to settle this matter, and they wanted to put the blame on her and have her bear the cost.

“Oh!” Xaviera responded indifferently.

Seeing Xaviera’s disdainful attitude, Madam Hughes felt as if her punch had hit cotton, and she couldn’t hold back her anger. “It’s just a small misunderstanding between you sisters, but you insisted on blowing things up. Caleb is a young and promising man, it’s understandable for Zora to like him. It’s normal for a man as outstanding as Caleb to have a few women by his side. He can’t possibly be with you alone for a lifetime! Since you’ll eventually have women competing for his attention, you might as well give this opportunity to Zora – better to keep the water in the family field!”

Xaviera didn’t even bother to look up and replied, “Tsk, Madam Hughes, no wonder you were a mistress yourself. You can really make breaking up someone’s marriage sound so elegant and poetic! The educational philosophy of the Hughes family is truly morally corrupt!”

Stigma of a mistress becoming the rightful wife has always been a stain on Madam Hughes’s life. Those words felt like a heavy slap on her face, making her unable to hold her head high in public.

“Although Caleb and I didn’t have a wedding ceremony, we already got our marriage certificate. We are legally wedded husband and wife. Zora liked a married man, forged marriage contracts, and tried to step on me to rise to the top. As the original wife, should I cooperate with you? Have you no shame?”

As she spoke, the grand villa fell silent, everyone’s faces turning ashen. Their cheeks felt searing pain, and they angrily shouted “Xaviera!”

While Cory Hughes managed to remain relatively composed, he couldn’t conceal the anger in his eyes. He glared fiercely at Xaviera, “Shut your mouth!”
