Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: 1 Million Dollars Hush Money

Cory Hughes stepped forward, his eyes wide with anger. "Jeremy Campbell, you and Lillian are already divorced, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Hughes family. Xaviera is the child of you and Lillian, that’s a fact."

"Moreover, when Lillian gave birth that year, the hospital records are very clear that she indeed gave birth to a girl. Now you publicly slander Lillian’s innocence, what is your intention?"

Cory Hughes was full of confidence, and everyone couldn’t help but look at Jeremy Campbell.

Jeremy Campbell shook his head with a bitter smile. "I didn’t slander her, Lillian does have a daughter, but not our child. Mr. Hughes, do you still want to act in front of me now?"

Cory Hughes’ old face instantly stiffened, as if he had thought of something, and everyone felt something was wrong.

[Jeremy Campbell says he and Lillian have no children, but he says Lillian has a daughter. In other words, Lillian cheated and had a daughter with someone else?]

[I have to say that Jeremy Campbell is quite caring and righteous. For the sake of Lillian’s reputation, he has been holding back for so many years. If it weren’t for Lillian’s insistence on forcing Miss Evans to marry Mr. Taylor, Jeremy Campbell probably wouldn’t have said anything about Lillian’s affair.]

"Ah! I didn’t! You’re just a useless piece of trash who relied on the Hughes family to rise to power. What right do you have——"

Jeremy Campbell, full of disappointment, interrupted her. "After more than 20 years of marriage, I have been kind and righteous to you. I originally planned to take this secret to the grave, not wanting to affect your reputation. Now that you want to destroy yourself, I’ll give everyone something interesting to see."

With that, Jeremy Campbell took out a file that contained Lillian’s hotel records for the past 20 years, intimate photos with another man, and chat records, etc.

Jeremy Campbell’s voice was trembling. "Look closely, is this you? Dare to do it but not admit it?"

Xaviera Evans bent down and picked up the scattered documents on the ground. The journalists behind her immediately rushed forward and aimed their cameras at the documents.

The information provided by Jeremy Campbell was very detailed, with accurate time, place, and people, and there were also traces to be found. When Lillian was pregnant with the child, he was always away on business, which was enough to prove Lillian’s infidelity.

The Hughes family did not stop Xaviera from taking the documents, as they already knew about Lillian’s infidelity and were not surprised.

Cory Hughes didn’t change his face and spoke calmly: "That’s all in the past, what’s the point of bringing it up now? Even if Xaviera is not the biological daughter of Lillian, so what? Jeremy Campbell, this is the Hughes family. Do you think you have the right to interfere in the Hughes family affairs? No matter whose daughter she is, she must marry Mr. Taylor today!"

Jeremy Campbell sneered: "Mr. Hughes already knew Xaviera was not the child of the Hughes family, right?"

Lillian Hughes came back to her senses from the shock, and she looked at Cory Hughes incredulously. "Father, this..."

"Lillian, Xaviera is indeed not your daughter." Cory Hughes spoke calmly: "Since Jeremy Campbell has already said it, there’s no need to hide it."

Lillian softened, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She was first shocked and angry, and then she felt a sense of relief. So, this Xaviera who looked and acted so much like Nina Hughes is not her daughter! She knew she couldn’t possibly give birth to such a little bitch!

This was really good news!

Lillian felt much better and a smile appeared on her face. But...

Next second, Jonas Hughes was not happy. "Dad, how can you say that casually? If Xaviera is not Lillian’s daughter, then how can she marry into the Brooke family..."

Mrs. Taylor suddenly raised her eyes, the corner of her mouth hooking up into a cold smile.

Cory Hughes laughed coldly: "What does it matter if she’s Lillian’s daughter or not? The Brooke family wants Xaviera. Since they’re on the Hughes family’s turf, I call the shots."

"Now that we’ve received the betrothal gifts and Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Taylor have come a long way, do you really think you can snatch someone from us just because of Jeremy Campbell?"

The atmosphere instantly darkened, and Jeremy Campbell was shocked by Cory Hughes’ shameless speech.

"You... you know that Xaviera is not Lillian’s daughter, and yet... yet you still want to force her to marry. You..."

"Jeremy Campbell, I’ve already told you, sometimes people have to turn a blind eye and not take things too seriously. If I give you 2 billion dollars, would you disagree?" Cory Hughes laughed triumphantly. "As long as you promise me to leave immediately and not gossip outside, I can give you 1 million dollars in hush money. How about it?"

million dollars in hush money? How could he even say that?
