Chapter 1453: The Belated Deep Affection is Worth Less Than Grass

Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: The Belated Deep Affection is Worth Less Than Grass

Jacob Powell was silent, recalling what happened five years ago. At that time, because of what Xaviera said, he had doubted Quinn. Later, he realized that he had wronged Quinn.

Quinn was so well-behaved and sensible, how could she steal Xaviera’s things? Moreover, he had personally seen Quinn write down those fragrance formulas.

Jacob’s guilt towards Xaviera had dissipated a bit. He looked tenderly at Quinn Powell, "Quinn is truly outstanding. Dad and I are both proud of you."

Quinn smiled sweetly. The three of them were so happy! As long as Xaviera didn’t come back, they would always be harmonious and happy!

Ding ding ding!

Robert Powell’s cell phone suddenly rang. As an aristocrat of Yittaland, he had many powerful and influential connections, so most of his calls were answered by his assistant. Only his close family and friends knew his personal phone number.

Quinn’s expression stiffened for a moment, as if guessing who the caller was.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Robert exclaimed excitedly, "It’s Xaviera’s call!"

He hurriedly answered it, and Xaviera’s cold voice came from the phone, "Dad, I have some free time lately and want to stay with you for a while. Is that convenient?"

Robert had been longing for Xaviera to come home and live with them. Now that she had finally agreed, he was thrilled and eagerly replied, "Of course it’s convenient! This is your home, and you can come back anytime!"

Xaviera’s voice softened a bit, "I remember you saying you miss mom very much. I recently found some photos and her diary among her belongings. If you want to see them, I’ll bring them over to you."

Robert’s heart suddenly ached.

Nina’s photos and diary...

All these years, he had not stopped missing Nina. The thought of seeing her photos and reading her diary made him even more excited, and his breathing became rapid. "Okay! Bring them here! I’ll send a driver to pick you up as soon as you’re ready!"

"No need, Dad. Just send me the address, and I’ll be there soon."

After hanging up, Xaviera’s eyes were slightly cold. If she didn’t know that her mother had voluntarily left Robert, she would have been touched by his deep affection.

But a tardy affection was worth less than grass. Robert might have loved her and her mother, but he was never a good husband or father.

Xaviera looked up at Caleb Mamet, "I think I can give Mr. Powell a chance. If he is willing to choose me, I can spare Jacob and Quinn for his sake."

Caleb’s eyes were filled with a hint of iciness, but his voice was extremely gentle, "Xaviera, you don’t need to worry about others’ opinions. Whatever you want, I’ll help you get."

Xaviera hooked her lips, "I want Quinn’s life."

"Alright." Caleb agreed without hesitation.

"Caleb, don’t you think I’m cruel?" Xaviera sat on the sofa, propping her cheek and looking at him, her beautiful eyes moving, "Although Quinn almost killed me, I survived. But I want to kill her. Isn’t that a bit cruel?"

Caleb’s gaze was full of indulgence, "Xaviera, you are already very merciful. If it was me, I would make her suffer excruciatingly. There aren’t many brothers in the world like Jacob who would be so heartless to their sisters. If anyone had almost killed Yigol Mamet, what do you think I would do? Or if someone had harmed Eric Salt’s brother, what would he do? We would never tolerate our family being bullied!"

Xaviera sighed, "That’s true! Jacob is such a failure as a brother! Since he is heartless to me, why should I care about him?"

The evidence sent to her by Irene Hamer, though not enough to bring down Jacob, was enough to make him troubled. To make sure his sister won an award, he resorted to underhanded tactics like bribing judges. A noble Earl of Yittaland had indeed lost face!

Xaviera stood up and stretched, "It’s about time. Let’s go to the Powell Villa."

...

An hour later, the car slowly stopped at the Powell Villa’s entrance. Before Xaviera could get out of the car, Robert was already preparing to greet her, "Xaviera is here! Jacob, let’s go meet her together!"

Jacob instinctively glanced at Quinn. Her face was pale, and her expression was complicated as she forced a smile, "Brother, go ahead, don’t worry about me. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t go out. Xaviera won’t be mad at me, right?"

"Of course, Xaviera won’t be mad. You stay here and wait. I’ll be right back. Don’t move around."

Jacob admonished her a few times but couldn’t help frowning. Recently, he always felt that something was off about Quinn. Her face seemed normal, but she always looked sickly.
