Chapter 989 -989: Who Destroyed the Relic?

Cory Hughes’s face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the bodyguard to step back. Then he whispered a few words to Jonas next to him. After about half a minute, he spoke kindly, “Xaviera, what are you talking about? We can’t harm you! We’re just fooling around.”

“Didn’t you just say Mr. Caleb Mamet was not coming? It would be nice if he did come. Let him in to have a meal together with the family, liven things up, everyone wants to meet your husband!”

Xaviera chuckled coldly as expected, Cory was still wary of Caleb. Actually, she was not sure if Caleb had come, but based on his character, he would at least send Steve Price or Sean Price to protect her.

“I just want my mother’s belongings back, give them to me now!” Xaviera’s tone suddenly became sharp.

Cory furrowed his brows, if Caleb really had come, they couldn’t force Xaviera to drink anymore, otherwise, she would definitely notice the poison in the wine, and if Caleb barged in, things would get troublesome.

He could only swallow his anger for now, “Butler, go get Nina’s belongings.”

This time, with only a few minutes passing, the butler came over carrying a tattered box, “Lord, I found it.”

Xaviera opened the box, the things inside were all messed up, there was a photo album and a sketchbook, which should be the design sketches Cory mentioned. She opened the album, and her face changed instantly.

Mum’s photos had been slashed by a knife, and each cut was quite forceful. The words ‘bitch’ and ‘deserved to die’ were written on Mum’s face with a red pen, which showed the person’s hatred and curses towards Mum.

Xaviera’s pupils suddenly contracted, she looked up at Madam Hughes, her calm eyes filled with ruthlessness, and her body exuded a strong murderous intent. Madam Hughes, seeing Xaviera’s eyes, shuddered in fear and retreated several steps in horror, tremblingly saying, “Why are you staring at me? I didn’t do it.”

Xaviera stood up and slowly walked towards her, her cold eyes fixed on her.

Steve Price outside the door couldn’t help but swallow, he had to say his wife’s angry appearance was really terrifying! No wonder even the president didn’t dare to provoke her.

Caleb’s face was also gloomy, he rarely saw Xaviera so angry, and the Hughes family had the guts to provoke her, they would have to face the consequences.

At this moment, Madam Hughes retreated another few steps, bumping into the chair behind her, she had nowhere to escape, and cried out in fear, “Xaviera! Stay away! I told you it has nothing to do with me!”

“I didn’t say a word just now, but Madam Hughes was busy explaining, is it because she’s guilty?” Xaviera spoke coldly, like a messenger from hell, terrifying people.

Madam Hughes couldn’t refute, trembled and looked for help from the others.

“Xaviera, don’t make a scene anymore.” Zora Hughes quickly stepped forward to stop her and softly advised, “Actually, when we got these design sketches and albums, they were already destroyed. We didn’t tell you because we were afraid you’d be sad. Grandma was heartbroken too, but there was nothing she could do, she could only keep them safe and hand them to you. How can you accuse Grandma of doing it?”

Xaviera didn’t pay any attention to Zora, her eyes still fixed on Madam Hughes, as if she would tear her to pieces the next second.

Madam Hughes was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat, stammering, “Yeah! Why do you accuse me? The items were already destroyed when they were sent here. It must be Nina Hughes who did something reckless out there and offended someone, so she was revenged after her death, it’s her own fault!”

“Ah!” A scream barely escaped Madam Hughes’s lips as the sound of her wrist cracking was heard, as if Xaviera had snapped it. A severe pain swept over her entire body.

Xaviera’s eyes were icy, “I’ll ask again, did you destroy my mother’s belongings?”

Zora was also scared by the angry Xaviera and hurriedly advised, “Xaviera, let go! This is not what Grandma did. Even if you have doubts, you need to wait for the investigation to clear the matter up. How could you indiscriminately harm your elder?”

Xaviera didn’t bother to listen to Zora, her sharp gaze fixated on Madam Hughes, her body emanating a strong killing intent, “I’m giving you one more chance, answer me!”

At this point, Madam Hughes had already forgotten the pain in her wrist. She stared into Xaviera’s eyes, a strong sense of fear spreading from the bottom of her heart. In Xaviera’s reddened eyes, she seemed to see a fiery hell, even hearing screams in her ears.
