Chapter 1186: Chapter 1184: Dismissal for Disobedience
Xaviera Evans coldly raised her eyes and glanced at the butler, "Youâre quite foolish, not even knowing who your real master is!"
The butler was stunned and looked at Zora Hughes in confusion.
Seeing this, Xaviera took out her phone and sent a message to the butler. The butlerâs phone rang immediately, and after checking it, his face changed dramatically, "You... you are the owner of the Hughes Manor?"
He quickly ran to Xaviera and apologized frantically before turning to the other two with an angry glare, "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be Miss Evans!"
Nidya and Zora Hughesâ faces flushed with embarrassment. Nidya, as the daughter of the Hughes family, was now being treated like a thief, and couldnât help but shout angrily, "Xaviera! This place is indeed your property, but Iâm your birth mother! Whatâs yours is mine! Moreover, these things are piled up in the storage room, and you obviously donât want them. We were just planning to take them away. You should explain to the butler and stop treating us like thieves!"
The butlerâs face was full of astonishment. This woman was actually Miss Evansâ mother? But they didnât look like mother and daughter at all!
Xaviera leaned lazily against the doorway, her eyes icy cold, "Butler, show our guests out!"
The butler hesitated, "Miss Evans, this..."
"What? Not listening to me?" Xaviera tugged at the corner of her mouth, chilling the air around her.
Xavieraâs words were like two slaps on Nidyaâs face, making her cheeks burn with pain. She roared unwillingly, "Xaviera! What are you doing? Zora and I just came to visit casually. Itâs fine if you donât welcome us, but you actually want us to leave? Is this how a daughter behaves?"
Nidyaâs face turned red and thick as she yelled, gasping for air, her head spinning.
The butler stood in the middle, uncertain.
At this moment, Caleb Mamet appeared behind Xaviera, scanning the butler indifferently with a faint chuckle, "Xaviera, this butler is taking your money, but he doesnât listen to you, huh?"
Xaviera spoke coldly, "If he doesnât listen, heâll be fired."
The butlerâs face changed. This was a hard-to-find job, living alone in a luxurious villa, not serving the owner, only occasionally cleaning the rooms, paid well, and free.
Now that Miss Evans wanted to fire him, he absolutely couldnât lose this job. He hurriedly walked to Nidya and Zora, loudly saying, "Ladies, since this is not your property, please leave immediately!"
Nidyaâs anger soared, "Xaviera! I am your birth mother! Yet you want me to leave? Just look at the plaque outside, it says âthe Hughes Manorâ, and both Zora and I share the Hughes surname, so we have every right to be here!"
The place was indeed called the Hughes Manor, but not because of Nidyaâs âHughesâ, but because Xaviera named it to commemorate her late mother Nina Hughes.
Xaviera nodded thoughtfully, "Mrs. Hughes, since you think the name âthe Hughes Manorâ is inappropriate, letâs change it. From now on, it will be called âthe Russell Mansionâ, after all, my mother should have followed my grandmotherâs surname, Russell. You should be clear that this place has nothing to do with the Hughes family, so I hope you wonât have the audacity to come here again."
After finishing her speech, Xaviera surveyed the room and noticed the seashell wind chimes on the floor. A surge of anger welled up inside her, and she no longer wanted to argue with the two of them.
"Mrs. Hughes, this is trespassing on private property. If you donât leave now, I will call the police, and the news of the two daughters of the Hughes family stealing would spread throughout Libanan. I assume you donât want to see that result."
The butler really didnât understand. Since Mrs. Hughes and Miss Evans were mother and daughter, why were they confronting each other?
Nidya, fuming with anger, yelled, "Xaviera!"
Zora quietly looked up, carefully observing Caleb Mametâs cold expression at the doorway and clenched her fists tightly.
Why had the Hughes familyâs marriage agreement benefited Xaviera? Caleb was such an excellent and handsome man, with thousands wanting to marry him. Zora naturally was no exception. Everything she did was in pursuit of true love, and she believed Caleb would understand her.
Zora spoke gently, "Xaviera, weâre family. Thereâs no need to argue over this trivial matter. Auntie just wanted to visit you too."
She noticed Xavieraâs gaze had been on the seashell wind chime on the ground. Zora had checked it earlier and found that it wasnât valuable, even though it looked pretty, it didnât have any rare materials. But Xaviera had been focusing on the wind chime, as if sheâd come to the Hughes Manor just for it.
