Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: True and False Gifts
After a moment of silence, Xaviera Evans suddenly scoffed, "Miss Hughes is surprisingly self-aware, knowing that everyone is here to see the Heninger familyâs ceramic sculpture, not to attend the mall opening ceremony."
As soon as this comment was made, the surroundings immediately fell silent. Mr. Allum, who wanted to see the ceramic sculpture, quickly stepped back, not wishing to get involved in the war between these two women.
Although Miss Evansâ words were harsh, they are indeed the truth! But to say this in front of Miss Hughes, Miss Evans was really not giving anyone face!
As expected, Zora Hughesâs face turned sour, but she quickly recovered her gentle demeanor, a hint of a smile lingering at her lips, "Xaviera, stop making a fuss. This ceramic sculpture means a lot to the Hughes family. We mustnât make any mistakes during the presentation ..."
Before she could finish, Xaviera gave her a cold glance and left without looking back.
Zora stood still, gnashing her teeth, her eyes nearly spilling over with resentment.
Why is she so arrogant? The Heninger family has already given the sculpture to herself, yet Xaviera was considered a liar, stopped at the Heningerâs door. She has obviously been abandoned, she obviously doesnât have the ceramic sculpture in her hand. What makes her so domineering?
Now that Quine Heninger is not in Libanan and wonât come back to stand up for Xaviera, what makes her so brazen?
Wait!
Zora suddenly paused. The important persons of Heninger family have already left Libanan, and the Heninger family would not participate in the Hughes familyâs opening ceremony. So, Xaviera thinks if she swapped in a counterfeit for the ceramic sculpture, no one would find out as no one has seen the real one before and therefore no one has the right to doubt her.
But Zora knew very well that the sculpture was not Xavieraâs.
She suddenly laughed, it seemed like even god wanted to help her. She had just thought yesterday that Xaviera would try to pull off such a scam, but Xaviera wouldnât take such a risky action. However, now that the Heninger family is absent, Xaviera certainly chooses this method, it might be her only way out.
Alright! Letâs wait and see. She wants to witness Xavieraâs downfall herself, wants to watch her miserable appearance, fallen into the mud!
Zora watched Xavieraâs retreating figure, revealing a sinister and spiteful smile.
Everyone is clear that the Heninger family agreed to collaborate with the Hughes group, all for the face of Nina Hughes. Since the news was already out, Cory Hughes didnât need to hide the truth from people anymore.
New City mall opening wouldnât have invited this many business head honchos and prestigious families, but once everyone heard that the Heninger family gifted the Hughes family a ceramic sculpture, they all wanted to witness with their own eyes. And they already confirmed with Miss Hughes, that the ceramic sculpture was in Miss Evansâ hands.
Meanwhile, in the mallâs restroom, Jonas Hughes asked with anticipation, "Zora, are you sure that Xaviera will be ruined today? Can you regain the rights of the CEO position?"
Zora confidently gave a smile, "Dad! Iâm sure, she canât escape this time!"
"The CEO position should have been yours, it was Xaviera who interfered, caused you to suffer. Now people are saying that you are the daughter of an illegitimate son, the Heninger family looks down on you, unwilling to let you be the CEO. Xaviera is just relying on her status as Nina Hughesâs adopted daughter right? Besides that, what else does she have? And the Heninger familyâs ceramic sculpture..."
Before Jonas Hughes could finish his heated rant, Zora interjected with a smirk, "Dad, donât be anxious, I have the Heninger familyâs ceramic sculpture here."
Jonas Hughesâs eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Zora, "Thatâs not right, didnât Xaviera say she has the ceramic sculpture? Zora, what exactly is going on?"
Zora briefly explained the situation, laughing, "Dad, I was going to make a fake ceramic sculpture to sabotage Xaviera, but unexpectedly, I didnât need to do anything, she just fell into the hole. Because the Heninger family kicked her out, she couldnât get the ceramic sculpture. So, she made a counterfeit."
"The real ceramic sculpture has always been with me. When the time comes, once she is exposed with her counterfeit in public, I will step up and save the day, revealing the real ceramic sculpture."
With a triumphant expression on her face, Zora said, "By that time, shareholders would naturally compare me and Xaviera. Xaviera would be the CEO that embarrassed the Hughes family, and I would be the successor who restored the Hughes familyâs dignity. Whom would the shareholders and top-tier employees support? Would she still have the face to continue acting as the CEO?"
As the words fell, Nidya Hughes tiredly walked in, "Zora, have you told Xaviera?"
Once Zora saw her, she immediately furrowed her brows, answering despondently, "Aunt, I want to tell my sister, but she simply ignores me."
