Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: The $200,000 Collection
"Iâm sorry, Mrs. Hughes, you canât leave yet." The policewoman stopped Nidya Hughes and glanced at the trembling Zora with a respectful inquiry, "Miss Evans, about the intentional destruction of your collection..."
Zoraâs face turned pale in an instant, biting her lip uneasily.
Nidya Hughes roared, "Xaviera! When will you stop?! I wrongly accused you, and now you want to accuse Zora? She is innocent! Donât make things difficult for her!"
Zora was in a mess, when did she destroy Xavieraâs collection? Xaviera was clearly seeking revenge and wanted to frame her!
Xaviera ignored the crazy Nidya Hughes and said indifferently, "Everyone has seen the surveillance video, Zora deliberately broke my wind chime and even stepped on it several times. That shell wind chime has been shattered, and it has lost its collection value."
Zoraâs body trembled, and the policewoman stepped forward to review the surveillance footage. Although Zora kept insisting it wasnât deliberate, slowing down the video reveals that she intentionally threw the wind chime on the ground. Zoraâs eyes and expression revealed a hint of triumph, she deliberately destroyed the shell wind chime to provoke Xaviera.
Her poor acting skills allowed the officers present to capture her victorious smile.
Zoraâs body was stiff, and she was on the verge of collapsing. She had merely accidentally broken a wind chime, why was Xaviera so relentless? Now Nidya had been detained, did they also want to detain her? If the news of the wealthy familyâs daughter being jailed spread, those upper-class noble ladies would surely laugh at her. How would she live her life?
Nidya Hughes was already suppressing her rage, seeing Zora trembling all over, she roared fiercely, "Xaviera! What do you really want?! Are you sick?! Zora just broke a wind chime, and itâs not even something valuable! Youâre actually going to sue her over that? You must be insane! I should have never given birth to you!"
At these words, everyoneâs sharp gaze abruptly focused on Nidya.
Caleb Mametâs body emitted a cold murderous intent, with a terrifyingly gloomy gaze.
Even the policewoman couldnât stand it, "Mrs. Hughes, youâre Miss Evansâ mother, but you helped frame your own daughter for theft to protect your niece. Now that your niece has deliberately destroyed your daughterâs valuable object, you claim your daughter is being petty? Itâs truly hard to tell who your real daughter is."
People present only learned today that Miss Evans was abandoned when she was little, and only recently found her way back home. They couldnât understand why Nidya Hughes, a daughter of a wealthy family, would abandon her own child.
At this moment, Zora hung her head, on the brink of collapse. Her eyes were bloodshot, teardrops falling like broken beads as she sobbed softly, "Xaviera, itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have misunderstood you. But I really broke that wind chime accidentally, and besides, itâs just a worthless trinket. Do you have to target me like this?"
Xaviera gave a faint laugh, her eyes full of disdain, "Miss Hughes, maybe your hearing is not very good, so let me repeat, that shell wind chime is a limited edition collectorâs item, worth 200,000 dollars."
"Something worth 200,000 dollars might not mean much to Miss Hughes, but this constitutes a crime. You must take responsibility for this!"
"200,000 dollars? How is that possible? Thatâs just an ordinary shell wind chime, easily found by the seaside! Xaviera! How can you be so unreasonable?!"
Zora saw the tearful Zora and couldnât help but roar loudly, grabbing her throat and yelling, "This is slander! You should arrest her, detain her!"
Everyone: "..."
The policewomanâs head was aching, she never thought that a wealthy socialite could be so uncultured, shouting in the police station.
Zora raised her eyes with a pitiful look, "Xaviera, I know you hate me, but that was just an ordinary shell wind chime, and it wasnât intentional when I broke it. Do you really need to extort me for 200,000 dollars?"
"Extort? Donât use that word recklessly. The shell wind chime is indeed worth 200,000 dollars, and Iâm not lying. Now that weâre at the police station, Miss Hughes, thereâs no need to pretend. Whether you did it intentionally or not, the video is very clear. I hope youâll confess and be lenient; otherwise, youâll face even more severe punishment." Xaviera said indifferently, then took the damaged wind chime out of her bag.
