Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: Cooperating with Xaviera in Acting
Xaviera Evans didnât show any signs of panic and smiled calmly, "Is Assistant Black angry because Iâve told the truth, and now youâre feeling cornered? Do you think I came here today just to make a scene without any evidence? Then youâve underestimated me."
Assistant Blackâs lips trembled violently, and he stuttered, "You... you are just sent by a competitor, I know who you are working for. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I... I will call the police!"
"Call the police? Okay! Assistant Black can ask Miss Hughes beside him who I am and who my mother is!" Xaviera directed her cold gaze at Zora Hughes.
Assistant Black was instantly choked and trembled. Could her identity be really special?
"I know! Isnât this Miss Evans?" Suddenly someone in the crowd spoke, "Iâve seen her at the Evans familyâs banquet before. She is the daughter of Derek Evansâ original wife, Nina Hughes. So, she could be considered a member of the Hughes family!"
Nina Hughesâ daughter?
If so, Miss Evans would also be considered the daughter of the Hughes family. Why did Assistant Black say she was sent by a competitor, then?
People instinctively looked at Zora Hughes. If Miss Evans was Nina Hughesâ daughter, Zora must have known about her already, so why didnât she say anything earlier?
Zoraâs face turned pale, and beads of cold sweat covered her forehead. She didnât dare to speak rashly and could only scream helplessly in her heart. Xaviera really came! If it wasnât for Nidya Hughes reminding Xaviera about the Heninger Family and Hughes familyâs cooperation, how could Xaviera have come? Xaviera has always hated Nidya. Wasnât she afraid that Nidya would also plot against her?
Indeed, those design drawings were all Nina Hughesâ, but the woman had been dead for so many years. Her belongings should belong to the Hughes family. The current cooperation with the Heninger family was also a contribution Nina Hughes had made to the Hughes family. It was an honor for her!
What could Xaviera possibly gain from exposing the Hughes family? What benefits would she get from it?
Zora clenched her teeth, and the hatred in her heart was about to overflow. However, no matter how much she hated Xaviera, she couldnât show it in front of everyone.
Under everyoneâs heated gaze, she stepped forward and smiled softly, "Everyone, Iâm sorry that I didnât have a chance to introduce her earlier. Miss Evans is my sister, and she is Nidyaâs..."
"I am Mrs. Nina Hughesâ daughter!" Xaviera interrupted without any hesitation.
When the name Nina Hughes was mentioned, everyone couldnât help being stunned. Miss Hughes was a remarkable woman! Itâs just a pity that her beauty was short-lived!
Xaviera spoke coldly, "These drawings are the results of my mother, Nina Hughesâ, hard work and countless efforts. But now, theyâve become Jonas Hughesâ work. Iâm not here today to make a scene. I just want to ask you. The Hughes family treats their legitimate daughter who has passed away like this and gives all the glory to an illegitimate son, is this reasonable?"
Zora shivered, and sweat ran down her cheeks, sticking her hair to her face, making her look quite disheveled. She pretended to be calm and said, "Xaviera, you must have remembered it wrong. Aunt Nina did have designs, but they werenât for the collaboration with the Heninger Family. My father and Aunt Nina studied design together back then, but he didnât pursue it, so his designs were put aside throughout these years. Everyone in the Hughes family knows these designs belong to my father. Donât talk nonsense without any evidence."
"How can Miss Hughes be so sure that I donât have any evidence?" Xaviera smiled coldly.
On the other side, Quine Heninger got out of his car and met Caleb Mamet at the entrance of the Hughes Building. He greeted indifferently, "Mr. Caleb Mamet."
Caleb Mamet smiled, "Mr. Heninger."
Two ice-cold men stood together, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a few degrees. After a few seconds of silence, Caleb Mamet asked, "What brings Mr. Heninger here today?"
Quine Heninger raised his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in them, "To play along with Xaviera."
Caleb Mametâs expression darkened slightly. Xavieraâs other three brothers usually called her "Xaviera," but only Quine Heninger always called her "Xaviera."
For some reason, Caleb Mamet felt a bit sour in his heart. After all, Quine Heninger was a man, an exceptionally noble and outstanding man.
"So what brings Mr. Caleb Mamet here?" Quine Heninger asked.
Caleb Mametâs eyes narrowed slightly, and he scoffed, "Of course, I am here for the same reason as Mr. Heninger."
Quine Heninger raised his eyes, and the two looked at each other before leaving without a word.
Sean Price asked curiously, "Sir, Mr. Heninger is here to help his wife, but why are you..."
