Chapter 1180 - 1189: Bite Back

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1189: Bite Back

The driver stopped the car in front of the Evans Villa. Since Nina Hughes was Xaviera Evans’ mother, the housekeeper didn’t dare to stop them, and the two of them swaggered into the villa.

Zora Hughes’ eyes were full of calculation. "Aunt, I put the box away when I left the storage room, so the bracelet must have fallen in the storage room. Moreover, the box was snatched from Xaviera’s hand by you and given to me. Was the bracelet in the box at the time?"

Caught off guard by Zora’s sudden question, Nina couldn’t be sure if the bracelet had been in the box or not. "I don’t remember, but when I gave you the box, I closed it as well. If the bracelet was still there at the time, it wouldn’t be lost."

Zora searched around the storage room and eventually returned to Nina with a frustrated look. Nina’s face was ashen, and an idea couldn’t help but emerge in her mind.

"I am so stupid! I lost something so valuable. I remember that when Xaviera came in, I took out the bracelet and handed it to her. No one else touched it. Later, when you took back the box and closed it, I never took it out again. How could it be lost inexplicably?"

Nina’s body stiffened, her face extremely ugly.

Xaviera!

As soon as she thought of Xaviera stealing the bracelet, Nina felt utterly humiliated. Unable to suppress the anger in her heart, she roared, "It must be Xaviera! She stole your bracelet!"

"No one else has touched the bracelet but us and Xaviera. It must be because she wanted the bracelet but wouldn’t give you the wind chime, so she just took it away. How could she be so cheap!"

Zora pretended to be surprised, "Really? How could Xaviera do that... "

"It must be her! How did Nina Hughes educate her child, indulging Xaviera to steal things? She may be dead, but I’m embarrassed because of Xaviera; it’s killing me!"

"Zora! Come with me to the police station to report the crime. I want her to know the price of stealing! If we don’t teach her a lesson this time, she will surely become even more brazen and do more outrageous things!"

Zora’s heart trembled. If they went to the police station, would they investigate her? But on second thought, she was the victim and the Hughes family’s daughter; the police would certainly not suspect her.

She pretended to object: "Forget it. After all, Xaviera is still your biological daughter and also Mrs. Mamet, the Russell family’s daughter. If we make a big fuss about this, we’ll offend a lot of people."

"What are you afraid of? Can they blame us if she stole things?" Nina’s face felt like it was burning, "Now she has stolen your things, and it’s just a lesson for her. But what if she steals from others in the future? She may not be afraid of losing face, but I am her real mother, and I will be blamed for not educating her properly. I don’t want to lose face!"

"Zora, don’t be afraid. I’ll go with you to report the crime, and we’ll make sure she returns your bracelet! Let’s go!"

"Auntie... "

"Driver, let’s go to the nearest police station. She’s so young and already has such bad habits, daring to steal. I must teach her a lesson and make her remember it!"

The driver’s face was helpless. Miss Evans would steal? He, an outsider, didn’t even believe it. How could Mrs. Hughes be so sure that Miss Evans had stolen the bracelet?

...

At the Lowen Clubhouse.

Xaviera Evans leaned lazily on the sofa, listening to the news brought by Sean Price. The smile on her face grew thicker and thicker, "Zora lost her 1 million dollars bracelet, and Nina Hughes thinks I stole it, so she called the police?"

Sean Price nodded, "That’s right."

"The case involves 1 million dollars, it’s not a minor charge!"

"Nina Hughes has presented the receipt for the bracelet, and due to the large amount involved, the police station has already filed an investigation. As the aunt of the victim, she insists that you stole the bracelet, which if spread, might affect your reputation," said Sean Price.

"Heh." Xaviera snorted coldly, "I happened to be going to the police station to ask Zora to pay compensation. Who would have thought that they would actually bite back and accuse me of stealing the bracelet? Very interesting!"

"Zora deliberately destroyed my collected artwork and hasn’t paid any compensation. Now Nina Hughes is also accusing me of stealing the 1 million dollars bracelet. Won’t the two of them be squatting in the police station for a while?"

Sean Price knew that Mrs. Price had been planning a counter-attack for some time. It was just that before she could make a move, the other party went to the police station first. However, this didn’t pose any challenge to her.

He respectfully asked, "Madam, do you want to go out now?"

"Yes, which police station are they in? Take me there. I have to report a crime as well." Xaviera smiled meaningfully.
