Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: The Reference Object Appears
Steve Price could see the disgust and anger in Nidya Hughesâs face, as if having a daughter with Xaviera was the most unfortunate thing in her life. She clearly didnât treat her wife as her own daughter, yet she demanded that she treat her as her birth mother. Was this fair?
He frowned, and the bodyguard beside him understood. He asked Nidya to leave.
Seeing this, Nidya reluctantly said, "Since she doesnât want to see me, please ask Assistant Price to pass a message to Xaviera. The Heninger Family is about to cooperate with the Hughes family to produce the porcelain design left by my sister, Nina Hughes."
"The Hughes family provides the design, and the Heninger Family is responsible for the engraving. It should have been Xaviera who was in charge of the connection, but my father wanted Zora to go. No matter what, Xaviera is still my daughter. Iâm on her side, so I came here to tell her. If she doesnât want to miss this opportunity, she should go back to the Hughes family as soon as possible."
Steve Price: "???"
He was confused, and before he could ask further, Nidya stood up and left.
What was going on? Did Nidya have a change of heart? She had just been accusing her wife, and her eyes were full of disgust. How did she suddenly become a caring mother? Her acting skills were far from her wifeâs.
Steve Price returned to the office and informed Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans of Nidya Hughesâs words.
Caleb Mamet smirked. The cooperation between these two powerful families would elevate the reputation of whoever was in charge of the connection, which is why it was usually done by the heirs of the families.
According to their status, the most suitable person should be Xaviera Evans. However, everyone in the Hughes family loved Zora Hughes. Since Nidya was Xavieraâs birth mother, it was normal for her to give a reminder. Nevertheless, considering Nidyaâs previous actions, her words today seemed strange.
Caleb Mamet asked softly, "Do you think Nidya has a hidden agenda?"
Xavieraâs eyes brightened, and she shook her head with a smile.
Caleb Mametâs eyes deepened as he looked at her, "Then what do you think?"
Xaviera smiled coldly, "Do you remember my earlier guess that Nidyaâs increasingly exposed true nature over the years might be because the real Nidya Hughes is gone? She no longer has a reference point to hide her true nature, which is why she canât interact normally with her mother and brother and has no emotional attachment to me."
"But Steve Price thinks that Nidya seems to care about me. What could be the reason for that?" Xavieraâs expression darkened, frightening Steve Price, "Maybe itâs because her reference point has reappeared, and she knows how to care for her daughter now."
Caleb Mamet hissed, "Xaviera is getting smarter and smarter. Iâm ashamed to say Iâm not as clever."
Steve Price, who was listening on the side, was shocked. It took him a while to understand the meaning of this revelation, which suggested that the woman in front of them was not the real Nidya Hughes, and the real one had only just appeared.
Xaviera turned and left, leaving Steve Price feeling chills, "Mr. Mamet, other girlsâ smiles are warm and sunny, but why does Xavieraâs smile look so terrifying?"
Caleb Mamet glanced at him coldly, and Steve Price immediately understood, "You donât have to say it; I already know that Xaviera is always the most adorable and most beautiful in your heart."
Caleb Mamet: "..."
His eyes suddenly sharpened, "Steve Price, do you want to get your ass kicked?"
Steve Price shuddered and quickly backed away, panicking, "Mr. Mamet, calm down! Please donât hit me! And donât send me to some remote mountain area! I still have something to say!"
Caleb Mametâs gaze returned to calm.
It was only then that Steve Price lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Mamet, have you noticed that Xaviera has been distancing herself from you lately? She has a plan in her heart, but why didnât she tell you? This is not a good sign!"
Steve Priceâs words instantly piqued Caleb Mametâs interest. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"Itâs simple! First, you need to care for Xaviera. Use sweet words to coax her. When she wants to eat, you hand her the meal. When she wants to sleep, you cover her with a blanket. When she wants to hit someone, you hand her a stick. Remember, you must not let her feel wronged. You must be gentle and become an ultimate warm-hearted man!" Steve Price said excitedly.
Sean Price: "..."
Although Steve Price didnât take his job seriously, his words made sense. To treat a woman, one must be attentive, gentle, and caring.
On the other hand, after Xaviera left, she still felt troubled. She didnât know where the real Nidya Hughes was. If she was still alive, why didnât she acknowledge the Russell family? Why didnât she come out and expose the fake Nidya Hughes?
Did she have any difficulties? Or was she unable to appear?
