Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: In the World, How Can There Be So Many Coincidences?
"If Mr. Powell isnât happy to have Xaviera living here, just say so. She has a group of people who cherish her like a treasure, so she doesnât need one or two more relatives."
"I said she could return to the Powell family, but she shouldnât be treated unfairly. Since you care more about your adopted daughter, Xaviera doesnât need to stay here. Weâll leave right now."
After Caleb Mamet finished speaking, he took Xaviera Evansâs hand and prepared to leave.
Upon hearing this, Robert Powell panicked and forcefully shook off Quinn Powellâs hand. He hurriedly rushed over and shouted, "Donât go! Xaviera, youâre my biological daughter, of course I care about you!"
"Xaviera, Iâm your real father. This is your home, and you can come back anytime you want!"
Caleb chuckled, "Today is Xavieraâs first day home, and Mr. Powell only sent a housekeeper to greet her while you and Mr. Powell stayed in the main house with the adopted daughter. Do you know what kind of impact this will have on Xaviera?"
Robert Powell was sweating anxiously, "What impact?"
With unfazed eyes and a hint of irony in his voice, Caleb said, "Mr. Powell may not understand, but Mr. Powell, who often negotiates deals outside, should know the logic behind it."
Robert Powell immediately looked towards Jacob Powell who lowered his head and said, "I donât understand."
"You donât?" Caleb hooked his lips, "Since Mr. Powell and Mr. Powell donât comprehend, let me tell you. The Powell familyâs actions clearly convey to everyone that Xaviera, the Powell familyâs daughter, is not favored. Even if she returns to the Powell family, she will never be as valued as that adopted girl. If Mr. Powell doesnât care about his daughter so much, who will take her seriously in the future?"
"Not only will Mr. Powellâs actions upset Xaviera, but they will also make her an object of ridicule. Is there any need for Xaviera to return to such a home?"
Caleb had always been reticent and spoke in a calm voice, but his eyes were filled with coldness. Robert Powellâs face was a mix of embarrassment and panic. Feeling somewhat guilty, he lowered his head, "Xaviera, I... I really care about you, but Quinn..."
"Howâs Miss Powellâs condition?" Caleb directly looked at Dr. Blue.
Dr. Blue answered somewhat nervously, "Sheâs fine, just didnât get enough rest, and has low blood sugar."
In Dr. Blueâs opinion, Quinn Powellâs body had no issues at the moment, and she wouldnât have fainted. But he couldnât say that, as offending Miss Powell would not lead to any good outcome.
Caleb scoffed with mockery in his voice, "So Miss Powell is unharmed, but she happened to faint just as Xaviera was about to enter."
"Oh! I understand now." Irene Hamer suddenly stepped forward, her eyes coldly staring at Quinn Powell. "Miss Powell intentionally fainted when Xaviera was coming home, so her two relatives would not greet Xaviera because of her. Then she cried and acted pitiful, preventing Xaviera from entering the main house."
"Xaviera just wanted to come home and see her father and brother, but she had to face the whims of an adopted daughter. This is the first day sheâs come to the house, and sheâs already faced this kind of situation. If she continues to live here, who knows what other torments sheâll face!"
"Miss Powell, what a clever tactic! With one move, you maintain your position and make the real daughter lose face, killing two birds with one stone!"
Jacob Powell said displeasedly, "Miss Hamer, please donât talk nonsense! Quinn has been weak and sickly since childhood and confined to bed for years. She doesnât understand the cunning schemes of the upper class. Her fainting this time is just a coincidence, and she didnât mean to affect Xaviera."
Irene couldnât help but laugh scornfully, "Miss Powell might not understand, but doesnât Mr. Powell? When Miss Powell fainted, a doctor should be called. Youâre not a doctor, so whatâs the use of staying by her side? Youâre willing to let your sister be wronged for the sake of an adopted daughter. You clearly donât treat Xaviera as a relative, so why should she come home?"
She glared coldly at Quinn Powell and sneered, "Besides, is Miss Powell really that oblivious? Where do these coincidences come from in the world? Two days ago, Miss Powell had an episode at Lowen Clubhouse, causing Xaviera to suffer. Now, Miss Powell has another episode just as Xaviera arrives. Miss Powell sure knows how to pick her moments! She can suppress the real daughter each time without shedding blood!"
Quinn bit her lip and hung her head in grievance.
Robert Powell, who was standing by, understood the meaning of Caleb Mamet and Irene Hamer. He couldnât help but frown.
Was it true that their actions had wronged Xaviera? Would the upper class ridicule her for not being valued?
At the time, he didnât think much about it. He only felt that Quinn had fainted and that the housekeeper could replace him in greeting Xaviera. After that, Quinn woke up, but couldnât be agitated, so he let Xaviera temporarily go to the backyard. When Quinnâs emotions had stabilized, Xaviera could return to the main house.
