Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Crocodile Tears
Xaviera was proud while she was humble, although they were of the same age, they faced different fates.
Zoraâs sharp nails dug into her palm, she bit her lip and slowly knelt before Xaviera. Her knees touched the ground as she knelt, wearing a knee-length skirt, sending waves of dull pain.
Xaviera! Xaviera! I wonât let you go!
Why did the Heninger Family stand up for Xaviera? Why did Xaviera have so many backers, while she could only rely on the Hughes family? Why was she born inferior when she was clearly no worse than Xaviera?
She would never forget todayâs humiliation, and she was determined to take revenge on Xaviera!
On the other side, Xaviera had already signed the contract and handed it to Quine Heninger before she indifferently glanced at Zora.
Xaviera clearly knew that Zora volunteered to kneel and apologize, betting that she wouldnât actually make her kneel in front of everyone. After all, kneeling was a great humiliation and would be bad for her reputation.
But she didnât care about the opinions of others. Since Zora agreed to kneel and apologize, she must do it. Moreover, it was not her who made Zora kneel just now, but Steward Heninger.
Zora probably thought that shedding a few tears would make her and Quine feel sorry for her. But she would never pity her enemy, nor would she believe in Zoraâs pretentious act.
Now that Zora was kneeling, she must feel humiliated, right? There was still anger in her eyes, but what right did she have to be angry? It was the Hughes family who was clearly in the wrong, yet she had the nerve to feel angry?
Xaviera gave her a glance and said lightly, "Mr. Heninger, there are too many people here, letâs discuss it in the conference room."
Quine followed Xaviera away, and the reporters, seeing that they couldnât take any more photos, also left one by one. In an instant, only the Hughes family was left in the living room.
Madam Hughes quickly pulled Zora up, complaining, "Cory, how could you let Zora kneel?! In front of so many people, sheâs sure to be laughed at!"
Cory was helpless, "What else could I do? The Heningers stood by Xaviera, if she didnât come back, the cooperation would be canceled, and the Hughes Group might go bankrupt, losing everything we have!"
Zora cried and sobbed softly, "Grandpa, grandma, itâs okay. I can bear the humiliation. As long as I can save the face of grandpa and father, I can do anything!"
Cory nodded, his eyes determined, "Zora, youâve suffered this time, but remember this: Even if Xaviera negotiates the collaboration, the glory and benefits still belong to the Hughes Family. Even though Xaviera is now the person in charge, we are the ultimate winners. You all have to keep the big picture in mind, and stop fighting! Have you got that?"
Zora nodded hurriedly, "I got it, grandpa. But Iâm afraid Xaviera still holds a grudge and may not complete the cooperation smoothly. Moreover, most of Aunt Ninaâs design drawings have been destroyed and need to be restored. I have studied ceramic design, I can help restore them."
"Thatâs right! Zora studied restoration techniques in college, and itâs only a few design drawings, she can definitely help. Let Zora help Xaviera!" Madam Hughes said excitedly.
Cory was a little hesitant, but Zoraâs eyes lit up. If she were able to help, then the final credit would undoubtedly belong to her. After restoring so many design drawings, she would certainly impress the Heninger Family, and then they would know who the real outstanding Daughter of the Hughes family was.
...
At this time, in the cafe next to the Hughes Group.
Caleb Mamet sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, when someone pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.
Todd Reiser approached Caleb and smiled, "Caleb, long time no see."
Caleb opened his eyes, cast a cold glance at the group, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Fiona Reiser sat across from Caleb, smiling softly, "Mr. Caleb Mamet, itâs been so many years since weâve seen each other. My brother has been thinking about you all the time. Just after returning to the country, he insisted on seeing you. But he felt awkward coming alone, so he asked Mia and me to accompany him."
This explanation was very clear. It wasnât Fiona who wanted to come, it was Todd who dragged her here. She was unlike other women who wanted to seduce Caleb, as she only saw him as a friend. They wouldnât meet privately, so the three siblings came to see him together.
Todd talked about the events that had happened over the years and suddenly noticed a group of men in black appeared in the building opposite. He was a little surprised, "The Heninger family?"
