Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: When a Mouse Meets a Cat
Hearing the discussion among the girls, the woman abruptly turned around, her sharp gaze fixed on the girl next to Winifred Drew, raising her eyebrows, "Repeat what you just said! Dare to say it to my face?"
The girl hadnât expected her words to be overheard, her face flushed with embarrassment, but she stubbornly said, "Youâre Xaviera Evansâ friend, right! She became the mistress, shouldnât she admit her mistake? What right do you have to be so arrogant when you just came in!"
The woman looked at her disdainfully, "Young lady, let me remind you, my name is Doreen Yuan."
"So what? Just because you have some influence, I canât tell the truth?" the girl retorted defiantly.
Doreen sneered lightly and glanced at the girl with contempt, then her cold eyes fell on Madam Rome. Like a proud and noble swan, she spoke with an air of disdain, "Madam Rome, you tell me who I am."
Xaviera: "..." Doreenâs sister is so powerful! People would think she came here to fight!
Madam Romeâs face turned red and white in turns, her lips trembled, unable to speak. The girl who had just badmouthed Doreen suddenly became anxious, "Madam Rome, quickly say something! Who is this woman exactly? Everyone knows that Xaviera ruined the engagement between the HoFo Group heiress and Mr. Rome, and she still speaks up for Xaviera. Is it wrong for me to say a few words?"
Madam Rome bit her lip tightly, her eyes full of fear and shame, and sweat oozed from her forehead. Her thick makeup began to come off, making her look miserable.
Everyone curiously looked at her, could it be that this woman really had such a big background that even Madam Rome dared not easily expose her identity?
Just now, Madam Rome had publicly accused Xaviera of seducing Larry Rome and demanded that she be expelled. But since this woman entered the room, Madam Rome had been silenced, unable to say a word. Facing a woman who spoke up for Xaviera, shouldnât she be angry? Itâs like a mouse meeting a cat.
Madam Romeâs silence made the girl extremely embarrassed. She was obviously helping Madam Rome, but now Madam Rome refused to reveal the womanâs identity. As everyoneâs eyes fell on her, she couldnât help but ask, "Madam Rome, what exactly are you considering? Even if this woman has power and influence, it doesnât mean she can distort the facts! She is Xavieraâs friend, so she must not be any good!"
A flash of triumph crossed Winifredâs eyes.
The girl became more and more excited, loudly saying, "I just donât understand what sheâs afraid of. Can she even be the HoFo Groupâs heiress?"
At this point, everyone couldnât help but pause.
Principal Hayek pondered for a few seconds, then asked, "Miss, is your father Bill Webster by any chance?"
Doreen nodded. The girl who was just making a scene didnât continue her rant, since she couldnât interrupt the principal. But who is this Bill Webster? Is there such a person in Libanan?
"Bill Webster? Isnât he the chairman of the HoFo Group?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
The chairman of the HoFo Group? In that case, wouldnât Doreen be the heiress of the HoFo Group?
Doreen smiled, "Yes, thereâs no need to bother Madam Rome to explain. Everyone knows my identity now."
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?
The heiress of the HoFo Group was Larry Romeâs fiancĂ©e, but now the victim was actually speaking up for Xaviera? The relationship between the fiancĂ©e and the mistress was so good?
If Xaviera had indeed broken their engagement, how could someone as arrogant as Doreen stand up for her? So Xaviera never was the mistress, and the reason for the breakup was not because of her!
Madam Romeâs face was hideous, her sharp nails digging into her palm.
No! She couldnât reveal it!
Why would Doreen come? How could she know Xaviera?
Larry was so handsome and talented, wouldnât Doreen like him? Then why did she suddenly propose breaking off the engagement? Surely it was because Xaviera had added fuel to the fire and said something to her that caused her to break off the engagement. It was still all Xavieraâs fault!
Doreenâs face was full of impatience, "Our Xaviera is just too gentle, and sheâs too embarrassed to scold people who push their luck. But Iâm different, I donât indulge anyone! Madam Rome, at this point, do you still think that my breaking off the engagement with the Rome family is because of Xaviera?"
Everyone was stunned. Miss Webster calling Xaviera âXavieraâ showed that they were very close, and it seemed there was more to the story.
Madam Rome trembled and pointed at her, "You..."
