Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: Falling from Heaven to the Mire
Everyone was discussing fervently, "Yin Lianxinās granddaughter lost to Ai Sumeiās granddaughter. If Yin Lianxin knew about it, sheād probably be furious to death!"
Ai Sumei smirked triumphantly, finally releasing the resentment that had been brewing in her heart for years.
Yes, she was the mistress who broke up someone elseās family, but now she was the Madame of the Hughes family. She was married to Cory Hughes, so Jonas was no longer an illegitimate child!
Yin Lianxin was a dominant woman without charm. She even made Cory move into the Russell family. Over the years, Cory couldnāt even hold his head up under their oppression. It was Yin Lianxinās incompetence that couldnāt keep her own man!
Thereās no order in love, only love or no love. So Ai Sumei never thought she was a mistress. She felt she was just courageous in pursuing love. Whatās wrong with that?
Over the years, she had endured everyoneās ridicule and contempt. Now, Zora had finally gained recognition from the Heninger family through her own abilities. Who would dare make fun of her for being a mistress anymore?
At this moment, Zora Hughes had already approached the man, speaking gently, "Mr. Heninger, hello. Itās an honor for the Hughes Group to have you at New City Mall. We also appreciate the head of the Heninger family and Mr. Heninger for attaching importance to the Hughes family, and giving us such a precious porcelain sculpture."
Mr. Heninger glanced imperceptibly at Xaviera Evans beside him, then quickly looked away, responding indifferently, "Itās just a porcelain sculpture after all, Mrs. Hughes and the patriarchās wife are good friends."
After saying that, he slightly lifted his eyes to look at Zora Hughes with the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, "So this is the person the head and Mr. Heninger mentioned..."
Zoraās eyes were filled with joy. She never imagined she could establish a relationship with the Heninger family. She could already imagine peopleās envious gazes from now on.
Mr. Heninger spoke then, word by word, "Miss Evans?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked as if a boulder had exploded beside them. So Mr. Heninger was here to see Miss Evans?
Zoraās face turned pale. She stood still, unable to move. Hearing Mr. Heninger mention "Miss Evans" felt like a slap in her face, and the feeling of falling from heaven into the mud in an instant almost made her collapse.
No! Lennon Heninger gave her the sculpture, so she should be the person in charge now...
Zora forced herself to calm down and managed a smile, "Mr. Heninger, Iām not Miss Evans. My surname is Hughes. I think you might be mistaken."
"Oh? Your surname is Hughes? But the young master said that the person in charge is named Evans, and sheās Mrs. Nina Hughesā foster daughter." Mr. Heninger looked puzzled.
Zora didnāt panic, having prepared an explanation in her mind. She took a deep breath, her expression apologetic and helpless, "Mr. Swift, Iām really sorry. There was an incident earlier. The person who was in charge previously was indeed my sister, Xaviera Evans, but she secretly sold the sculpture Mr. Heninger gave her and could only present a fake one. So... "
Mr. Heningerās eyebrows furrowed, "She dared to offend our young master like that!"
Everyone looked at Xaviera, their eyes full of contempt. It was this greedy woman who sold the gifted sculpture privately. Now that someone from the Heninger family had come, they wondered how she would clean up the mess!
Zora smirked coldly and whispered, "Mr. Heninger, although the original sculpture is gone, the head of the Heninger family has given me another one. I brought it today, so when you asked where the sculpture was, I thought you wanted to see me."
"The headās sculpture?" Mr. Heningerās face filled with surprise, "He hasnāt produced any works for many years. I havenāt seen one in a long time."
Everyone gasped, such a valuable porcelain sculpture was given to Zora by the head of the Heninger family himself. It meant that in his eyes, Zoraās status was now comparable to that of Nina Hughes back in the day.
Zora struggled to suppress her excitement, leading Mr. Heninger to the stage, "This is the porcelain sculpture gifted to me by the head of the Heninger family."
