Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: All Wise People Would Choose Mrs. Russell

Xaviera Evans narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.

- Nidya Hughes, you’ve occupied this identity for too long, have you even forgotten who you really are! It’s time for you to give it back!

Mr. Heninger’s words stunned everyone present, and they all looked at Nidya Hughes again. Just now, they had seen Nidya Hughes had put in great effort to exonerate Zora Hughes and force Xaviera Evans to admit her mistake. They had thought that Nidya Hughes was Madam Hughes’s daughter, but now they reacted differently.

The crowd sneered: "So, Nidya Hughes is actually the younger sister of Nina Hughes? That is to say, she is Letitia Russell’s daughter?"

"I thought she was Sebastiane’s daughter! Why else would she always stand up for the mistress’s granddaughter? And I’ve never heard of Nidya Hughes having any contact with the Russell family!"

"You wouldn’t know this, but when Letitia Russell and Cory Hughes divorced, all three children were supposed to follow Letitia back to the Russell family, but Nidya unexpectedly changed her mind the next day, and went to live with Cory Hughes and Sebastiane."

"Is it possible that Nidya Hughes is the daughter of Cory Hughes and Sebastiane? Cory Hughes might have switched their babies and took Nidya back home, deceiving Letitia by claiming that she was their daughter. After all, Nidya has not been in contact with the Russell family for so many years, while living with Sebastiane all this time, maybe she is actually Cory Hughes’s illegitimate daughter."

Nidya Hughes’s face suddenly turned pale, as people were talking and she couldn’t control her trembling body.

That’s not true! She was Letitia Russell’s daughter, not an illegitimate child, and she has always been the legitimate daughter of the Hughes family.

Mr. Heninger raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mrs. Hughes, are you sure you are Mrs. Nina Hughes’s own sister?"

Nidya looked up fiercely, her eyes filled with panic, while beside her, Cory’s eyes were wide open. At this moment, he no longer cared about the porcelain sculpture and quickly defended himself, "Mr. Heninger! You can’t just say that. Of course, Nidya is Nina’s sister; she is the daughter of Letitia and me!"

"Oh? Really?" Mr. Heninger looked at Cory Hughes with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Cory’s heart was pounding. He thought Mr. Heninger would not interfere with the Hughes family’s private affairs, but the next second, Mr. Heninger asked again, "But why hasn’t Mrs. Hughes had contact with her mother for so many years since Mrs. Russell’s divorce from Mr. Hughes? Your brother and sister both followed Mrs. Russell back to the Russell family. Why did you choose to stay with the Hughes family? Don’t you want to be a Russell?"

His last sentence was suddenly raised in volume, scaring Nidya Hughes, making her whole body tremble.

The crowd’s eyes all fell on Nidya Hughes. In terms of status and wealth, the Russell family was a hundred times stronger than the Hughes family. Any smart person would choose to live with Mrs. Russell because she is the biological mother and the family head of the Russell family; she wouldn’t treat her children badly. However, Nidya stayed in the Hughes family and lived with the mistress, which was really strange.

Could it be that she wasn’t Mrs. Russell’s real daughter?

Once people began to doubt, a seed would take root and sprout in their minds, and no matter how Nidya Hughes defended herself, it would not be easy to change their minds.

"I didn’t!" Nidya Hughes roared, her lips trembling slightly. She clenched her fists nervously, looking terrifying, "I am Letitia Russell’s daughter! There were reasons why I didn’t choose to go back to the Russell family! Just because I didn’t choose her, does that mean I am not her daughter anymore?"

"It’s my freedom to choose who I want to live with after my parents divorced! I have the blood of the Russell family flowing through my veins, and how can I not be a member of the Russell family?" Nidya Hughes shouted righteously, giving Xaviera Evans a fierce glare as she finished speaking.

Xaviera Evans sneered in her heart; Nidya Hughes was a bit smarter than before.

Cory immediately echoed, "Mr. Heninger, you have misunderstood. Nidya chose me because she was afraid I’d be heartbroken. In fact, she wanted to live with her brother and sister, but she was always sensible from a young age and couldn’t bear to leave me behind. That’s why she chose to live with me. Over the years, she has been missing her brother and sister. In any case, she is Letitia’s biological daughter, and that bloodline cannot be changed."

"Mr. Hughes’s words also make sense," Mr. Heninger responded casually.

Cory thought that Mr. Heninger was trying to make things difficult for the Hughes family because of the porcelain sculpture, but now that he suddenly said his words made sense, it made Cory even more nervous.

As expected, Mr. Heninger smiled and said, "Maybe I misunderstood. It’s just that Mrs. Nina Hughes and my Mrs. were good friends back then. When Mrs. Hughes lived on Black Island, Nidya had once visited her, so our family’s head asked me to give a gift to Mrs. Nina Hughes’s sister just to make sure I didn’t get it wrong."
