Chapter 991 -991: Driving Away Housekeeper Bronte

Xaviera Evans ignored Cory Hughes and looked at the miserable housekeeper Bronte with a slight laugh, “Housekeeper Bronte, who gave you the illusion that I’m easy to bully?”

Housekeeper Bronte was in too much pain to speak and could only whine while staring at her venomously. How dare she attack him in the Hughes family home? Moreover, deliberately injuring someone could land her in jail; she wouldn’t want to get involved with the law, would she?

Crack!

“Ah!!”

A piercing scream accompanied the sound of breaking bones as Xaviera withdrew her foot as if stepping on disgusting trash.

She glanced down at housekeeper Bronte, who had collapsed on the floor, and slowly bent down to whisper in his ear, “Don’t think that just because you take the blame for Madam Hughes and Nidya Hughes that it’s the end of this. I’ll deal with you first, then I’ll take care of the two of them slowly!”

“Even if I hurt you, there’s no one in the Hughes family who will stand up for you! You destroyed my mother’s relics, so it shouldn’t be a problem if I, as her daughter, accidentally hurt you in my grief, right? Moreover, I can clearly tell you that your injury is just a minor one, and it’s not worth bothering the police for such a trivial matter, don’t you think?”

“You…” Housekeeper Bronte clenched his teeth, his eyes gradually turning fearful.

Xaviera laughed coldly, “If you call the police, you will indeed receive compensation from me. But as a housekeeper who destroyed the young lady’s relics, who would dare to employ you in the future? You can only rely on this compensation to retire.”

Housekeeper Bronte’s body shook violently, and only at this moment did he realize that Xaviera was the one who should not be provoked.

Xaviera stood up and looked at the destroyed relics in the box— none of them could be repaired.

Cory Hughes’s face was gloomy, and since the relics had been handed over to Xaviera and the housekeeper had been beaten, it was time for her to drink the poisoned wine. He gently persuaded her, “Xaviera, Housekeeper Bronte has destroyed Nina’s relics. I’ll kick him out of the Hughes family. I won’t allow someone like him to stay in the Hughes family any longer.”

Xaviera initially had thought that, regardless of everything, her mother was still Cory Hughes’s daughter, so he wouldn’t stand idly by watching her mother’s relics be destroyed. But after hearing Cory Hughes’s words, she was sure he knew about this all along.

Xaviera didn’t say a word but picked up the wine glass, put it to her lips, and drained it in front of everyone. Everyone was suddenly excited—Xaviera would be so easy to control after being poisoned, right?

Cory Hughes instructed the servants to take Housekeeper Bronte to the hospital, then affectionately looked at Xaviera, “Xaviera, I have neglected you and your mother over the years. Actually, your grandfather has been thinking about you two all this time. Now that your mother has passed away and can’t fulfill her filial duties, why don’t you stay in the Hughes family and keep me company for a few days?”

Xaviera put down the empty glass with some difficulty, “But I promised Caleb to go back home. He’s waiting for me outside!”

Cory Hughes’s face changed but he continued softly, “It’s still early. Have dinner with us, then go upstairs and rest, alright?”

Everyone knew the poison would make Xaviera pass out, and if she showed no problems after half an hour, it would mean she was not poisoned. But how was that possible? They had all witnessed Xaviera drink that glass of wine.

As for dealing with Caleb, Cory Hughes had other ways.

Xaviera looked at Cory Hughes’s calculating eyes and gave a faint smile, “Alright! I’ll go upstairs.”

Cory Hughes didn’t expect the angry Xaviera to be so obedient right now, making everything even smoother than he imagined. Everyone took their seats for the meal, and all had hidden agendas. Cory kept looking at Xaviera, whose condition seemed normal.

“Zora, I think Xaviera is tired too. Take her upstairs to rest.”

All the Hughes family members looked at Xaviera, their proud eyes no longer concealed. At this moment, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Xaviera nodded, got up, and followed Zora Hughes upstairs. Zora led her to the guest room, and Xaviera entered with a faint smile, “Miss Hughes, what are you all so eager to keep me in the Hughes family for?”

Zora’s face changed, and she quickly defended, “Xaviera, you’re overthinking. Grandfather thought you were too tired, so he asked you to come upstairs and rest for a while. Don’t misunderstand his intentions.”

“I know the Hughes family has blocked all signals, and I can’t contact anyone. But don’t forget that if I can’t walk out of the Hughes family unscathed in half an hour, Caleb will break in with someone.”
