Chapter 1246: Kneeling Down and Admitting Wrong

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Kneeling Down and Admitting Wrong

At that moment, Xaviera Evans’s phone rang, and listening to the voice on the other end, she smiled at the corner of her mouth.

The very kind voice of Cory Hughes came through the phone: "Xaviera..."

Obviously, he called to ask Xaviera to return to the Hughes Group because the person chosen by Quine Heninger to be in charge was Xaviera. When he said this name, everyone was stunned.

Previously, they laughed at Xaviera for being kicked out by the Hughes family, laughed at her for not being welcomed by the Hughes family, and now they couldn’t help feeling ashamed. Miss Evans was recognized by Mr. Heninger.

Cory Hughes’s face turned ugly, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "But Xaviera..."

"Mr. Hughes, our young master said it very clearly that he only wants Miss Evans to be in charge. If you don’t want Miss Evans back, then we have nothing to say about letting the Hughes Group collapse," said the Heninger family member.

Ralap Heninger: "We don’t care if Miss Evans is Miss Hughes’s biological daughter or adopted daughter; anyway, we’ve recognized Miss Evans. If Mr. Hughes disagrees, I might think that you are risking the safety of the company for a bastard."

"Mr. Hughes! You have to take the overall situation into account!"

"Quickly ask Miss Evans to come back! She is also part of the Hughes family!"

Hearing everyone’s shouts, Cory Hughes struggled to swallow, but how could he ask Xaviera? However, seeing the determined look of the people from the Heninger family, he knew that if he didn’t bow, the Hughes Group would face devastating consequences.

He could only bite the bullet and call Xaviera, "Xaviera, you should still be in charge of the cooperation. Have you returned home? Your grandfather will send a car to pick you up. Can you come now?"

"What cooperation?" Xaviera lay lazily on the bed, answering with a look of indifference, "What does your Hughes family’s business have to do with me?"

Cory Hughes suppressed his anger and patiently said, "Xaviera, I’ve found out that the design drawings are your mother’s now. I didn’t investigate thoroughly before. The Hughes family will cooperate with the Heninger family. As Nina’s daughter, you should be responsible for this cooperation."

"Why let me take charge? Shouldn’t Zora go?" Xaviera leisurely said.

Cory Hughes was speechless, and the anger in his heart surged up. Xaviera was just a younger generation, yet she acted arrogantly in front of him. Did she really think she was a big shot?

However, in front of Mr. Heninger and many senior executives, he didn’t dare to scold Xaviera and could only try to suppress his anger, saying gently: "Xaviera, it was my fault before. I misunderstood you. I apologize to you..."

"There’s no need for that. I don’t need your apology." Xaviera remained indifferent in her attitude, "If Mr. Hughes wants me to go back and take charge of the cooperation, I can accept it, but..."

The people in the living room became tense, wondering what her request was.

"But I have a condition," Xaviera said with a smile, "I said when I left the Hughes Group today that even if you beg me, I won’t go back. But now, I can give you a chance. I just want to know why my mother’s design drawing has Jonas Hughes’s name written on it. Did Jonas deceive everyone or was someone planning this with him?"

Xaviera’s voice was light, but each sentence forced the Hughes family to admit the truth. She continued: "If Mr. Hughes is willing to have the mastermind kneel and apologize to me, I can take charge of the cooperation."

Kneel down to apologize? But who exactly is the mastermind? Is it Jonas who stole Nina Hughes’s design or Cory who concealed the truth for Jonas?

The living room was silent. Xaviera’s words were simply too difficult for Cory Hughes to accept. Why should he kneel down and apologize to her? Neither he nor Jonas would ever kneel down to her!

After waiting for a moment, there was still no movement on the other end of the phone. Xaviera was losing patience, "Then forget it..."

"Grandpa, I’ll apologize!"

At this point, Zora Hughes’s eyes reddened, and she said pitifully and tenderly, "If someone must take responsibility, I am willing to. You and Father are both elders. How can you kneel down to Xaviera? It would also damage Xaviera’s reputation. Since Xaviera and I are sisters, it is the most appropriate for me to kneel down and apologize to her."

After hearing Zora Hughes’s words, everyone’s eyes revealed a hint of appreciation. It had to be said that Miss Hughes was quite responsible and knew how to consider the overall situation. She indeed had the style of a wealthy family’s daughter.

Moreover, everyone knew very well that when Jonas had stolen Nina’s design twenty-four years ago, Zora had just been born and hadn’t known anything. Yet, she still volunteered to take responsibility and kneel down to apologize to Miss Evans.
