Chapter 1468: Chapter 1468: The Person Who Should Be Eliminated Is Not You
"Mr. Powell did something wrong himself, yet he constantly accused Xaviera of being excessive and making a fuss. What right do people like you, who have no bottom line, have to accuse Xaviera?"
Irene Hamerâs long-suppressed anger was finally released. Every word she said was like a slap in the face of the Powell family. Mrs. Wenzelâs expression grew increasingly dark, and even the nearby butler couldnât help but shake his head.
If the butler thought that Mr. Mamet shouldnât have done this, how could it be different for Miss Xaviera?
Jacob Powell listened to Irene Hamerâs questioning and accusations, feeling his temples pound. He lowered his head, not daring to look straight into Xaviera Evansâs eyes.
He...he didnât know that his opponent was Xaviera! If he had known, what would he have done...
"Mr. Powell, just to satisfy Quinn Powellâs selfish desires, sabotaged someone elseâs hard work behind closed doors. Yet, you actually wanted Xaviera to return to the Powell family and continue to be bullied by Quinn? Our family cherishes Xaviera; she doesnât need to recognize you as relatives."
Having spoken, Irene Hamer looked at Mrs. Wenzel and respectfully said, "Mrs. Wenzel, everything I said is true. You can send someone to investigate again. I think the person in charge will inform you of this matter soon. Ultimately, I wonât interfere with the result; itâs up to you to decide."
"However, the Fragrance Competition is an international event. If we canât even guarantee basic fairness, then our Hamer family will definitely step in to solve this problem. We wonât let Xaviera be treated unfairly!"
After Irene finished speaking, Caleb Mamet suddenly laughed, drawing everyoneâs attention.
The man sat beside Xaviera, his posture upright, his eyes sharp, radiating a bone-chilling aura. "Thank you, Miss Hamer, for standing up for Xaviera. However, I will handle this matter differently. If the Fragrance Competition doesnât give a satisfactory result, then there is no need for this competition to exist."
Quinn Powell shuddered, knowing that Caleb was capable of pulling off such a thing. If her actions led to the disappearance of the Fragrance Competition altogether, how many people would she offend?
Mrs. Wenzelâs face was very gloomy, not because of Irene Hamer and Caleb Mametâs threatening words, but because of her anger and disappointment at Quinn Powell.
Did using these underhanded tactics this time mean that Quinn had used the same methods in her previous two wins?
Robert Powell calmed down for a long time before gradually recovering his composure. Xaviera was eliminated because of Quinn, but Quinn had no other hobbies and only enjoyed making fragrances. He couldnât bear to make her give up this competition.
However, under these circumstances, if Quinn didnât withdraw, Irene Hamer and Caleb Mamet would certainly not let it go.
After a long silence, Robert Powell spoke slowly: "Mrs. Wenzel, Quinn has won the championship twice in a row. If she submits her work, she will undoubtedly advance. Maybe she couldnât submit her work on time because she was not feeling well. So could you allow her to continue..."
"Dad, are you saying that if Miss Powell submits her work, I will definitely be eliminated?" Xaviera interrupted Robert Powellâs words in an unhurried tone.
Up until now, it had been Irene Hamer who was denouncing the Powell family, and Xaviera had not spoken. When she finally did speak, she calmly called Robert âDadâ, as if she werenât the one eliminated.
"According to the competition rules, not submitting a work is considered forfeiting. So even if Miss Powell was once a champion, she canât ignore the rules and eliminate her opponents!"
Robert Powell opened his mouth but had no words to refute.
If Quinn submitted her work, she would definitely advance, so not submitting her work wouldnât harm her much.
With a complicated look in his eyes, Robert Powell said, "Xaviera, please be tolerant of Quinn..."
Xavieraâs tone remained indifferent: "Dad, you said I am your biological daughter, and you will compensate me for everything. But you only care about Miss Powell and donât care about my feelings! Because of your son and foster daughterâs collusion with the judges and violation of the competition rules, my hard work was ruined. I am clearly the victim, but you still want me to tolerate Quinn Powell. Is that fair?"
"Earlier you all heard the recording. The judge said that my work will definitely advance to the finals and might even become the champion. Why, then, do you and my brother assume that I will definitely be eliminated? If it turns out that I can defeat Quinn Powell, would you still persuade me to let her win?"
Mrs. Wenzel frowned: "Miss Evans, rest assured, I wonât allow anyone to disregard the competition rules. No matter what, the one who should be eliminated is not you. Go ahead and participate in the competition with confidence!"
