Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: The Stunning Ceramic Sculpture that Dazzled the Audience
Xaviera was furious: "Scoundrel! If she presents a counterfeit, sheāll bring shame to the Hughes family! How did I give birth to such a little bitch! Zora, youāre just too kind, willing to give her a chance to repent. I think we should forget it. If sheās unwilling to repent, let her be. In the end, the one whoās ruined will be her. If no one notices, sheās lucky, but once someone exposes her in public, Iād like to see how sheāll face it!"
"Aunt, after all, Xaviera is your daughter." Zoraās face was helpless.
"So what! Once she is exposed, Iāll publicly cut off mother-daughter ties with her. Sheās not worthy of being my daughter, Iāve wanted to do this for a long time!" Xaviera said mercilessly, her eyes showing a hint of disgust.
Zora and Jonas exchanged glances, and both revealed sinister smiles.
The opening ceremony went smoothly. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, it was time for the presentation of congratulatory gifts. Nobody cared about the gifts beforehand, no matter how expensive they were, could they be as significant as the ceramic carving from the Heninger Family?
The Heninger Family of Black Island is mysterious and powerful. Mr. Heninger personally sent the ceramic carving, which means the Heninger Family values the Hughes family. With the Heningerās protection, the Hughes Group can always stand firm in Libanan.
Everyone wanted to establish a relationship with the Heninger Family, but this mysterious family was elusive. Now that they know about the close connection between the Hughes family and the Heninger Family, they naturally come to please the Hughes family.
Cory glanced at Zora and finally looked at Xaviera, "Xaviera, show everyone your ceramic carving."
All eyes fell on Xaviera, making her the center of attention.
It was just an ordinary opening ceremony, but the area was crowded with people, including invited guests, journalists from various places, and a bunch of Zoraās crazy fans. Now the Hughes family, with the power of the Heninger Family, also attracted many people to come and watch. Everyone looked forward to Xaviera, waiting quietly for her to take out the ceramic carving.
Hearing Coryās words, Xaviera chuckled, "Is Mr. Hughes sure he wants to see it?"
Cory frowned displeased, "Hurry up and take it out! What are you dawdling for! Such an essential task handed to you, youād better not have forgotten the ceramic carving!"
With a cold snort in her nose, Xaviera took a plain-looking box out of her bag, "This is what Mr. Hughes wanted to see. If thereās any problem later, donāt blame me, this was your choice."
By now, itās time to settle accounts with the Hughes family. They just donāt know if they can handle it!
Hearing this, Cory felt a chill, what did Xaviera mean by that? It seemed like a warning, giving an uneasy feeling.
On second thought, Xaviera was nothing but a girl, what could she do? Besides, everyone was waiting; if she couldnāt take out the ceramic carving, the Hughes family would lose face together.
He scolded discontentedly, "Nonsense! Hurry up and take it out!"
Xaviera looked up, her cold gaze fell on him, as if looking at someone about to die, with a touch of pity and mockery.
She placed the box on the tray, and everyone eagerly raised their heads to look. The big screen also showed the seemingly ordinary small box. As she slowly opened it, Zoraās smile on her face became thicker. She stared at the box until the purple ceramic carving inside was revealed.
The purple ceramic carving exuded a crystal-clear radiance, with intricate patterns carved on it. Actually, this material isnāt suitable for such complex patterns, some parts are even hollow, and due to its fragility, any mistake could ruin the whole work, so craftsmen generally wouldnāt choose this material for carving.
But now the purple ceramic carving appeared in front of everyone, in the sunlight it emitted a purple shimmer, seeming to have a quicksand-like light and shadow up close.
The whole venue was in an uproarā
"As expected of Mr. Heningerās personally carved ceramic, only the Heninger Family could complete such a masterpiece!"
"Although the Heninger Family agreed to cooperate only to save face for Nidya, if it werenāt for Miss Evans, the Heninger Family probably wouldnāt have given such an expensive gift to the Hughes family."
Zoraās face turned green with anger, she didnāt expect Xaviera to be somewhat capable, to actually find such an amazing ceramic carving. On second thought, she is Mrs. Mamet, with Calebās power and wealth, what couldnāt she buy?
But no matter how good this thing is, itās not the ceramic carving sent by the Heninger Family!
