Chapter 1527: Not Keeping the Promise

Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Not Keeping the Promise

It seemed that Robert Powell sensed the coldness in Xaviera Evans’s eyes, he did not want to scold his daughter in public, so he softened his tone: "Xaviera, haven’t we agreed on this long ago? You promised you wouldn’t pursue Quinn anymore, so why is there still a video on the internet?"

By his side, Jacob Powell’s tone also softened a bit: "Xaviera, Dad and I understand that you have been wronged, and you will hate Quinn, but Quinn has been with us for more than a decade after all. Can’t you forgive her for Dad’s sake?"

"The Powell family invested 4 billion dollars in perfume business, and with one wrong move, all of the prior investment would be wasted. You are the Powell family’s daughter, how could you take revenge on us just for your satisfaction? Do you even consider us family at all?"

Xaviera blinked and slowly said, "You came to me because all the partners are canceling contracts due to Quinn Powell, and you want me to help Quinn clear her name and recover the Powell family’s losses?"

Jacob and Robert Powell nodded and looked at her with an expectant face. After a few seconds of silence, Xaviera raised the corners of her mouth in mockery and asked, "What do the Powell family’s losses have to do with me?"

The Powell father and son were stunned, their eyes full of shock. How could the Powell family’s losses have nothing to do with her? She’s a part of the Powell family!

Seeing this situation, Madam Powell could no longer suppress her anger, her eyes full of rage, she raised her hand and attacked Xaviera, "You little bitch! I’ll kill you!"

This sharp shout immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They all looked over and saw the Powell family and Cynthia standing together, Madam Powell raised her hand, reaching for Cynthia’s delicate cheek. But, the next second, Xaviera firmly grabbed Madam Powell’s wrist, her voice cold: "Madam Powell, you really want to hit me in front of everyone? After all, you are a high-class lady, you should care about your image."

Jacob Powell immediately scolded: "Xaviera, it was you who broke your promise first, so why is grandma wrong in scolding you? Don’t act up!"

Before the video was exposed, Robert Powell was full of guilt, but now that the Powell family’s business is affected, and Xaviera appeared indifferent, his heart was filled with anger and disappointment.

Xaviera’s arm was slender, but she held Madam Powell’s wrist firmly, making her unable to move. She could only yell angrily, "Let me go, you wretched girl!"

"It must have been you who leaked the video! Who else would plot against the Powell family? You bitch! I should have killed you a long time ago, so you wouldn’t harm us! Why didn’t you die with Nina Hughes?"

After Madam Powell finished screaming, she raised her other hand to hit Xaviera. But Xaviera dodged skillfully and pushed Madam Powell away fiercely.

At this moment, Xaviera was fully aware that Madam Powell despised her, not because she was afraid she would threaten Quinn’s position but because she despised her mother from the bottom of her heart.

Upon seeing this, Robert Hart gasped and quickly stepped forward to block them. Madam Powell, staggered by Xaviera’s push, almost fell on Jacob Powell. Her face turned pale with anger as she cursed in a hoarse voice: "You bitch! How dare you hit me? I’m an old woman! Jacob, teach her a lesson!"

Jacob Powell frowned and looked at Xaviera in displeasure: "How could you hurt your grandmother? Don’t you know how to respect your elders?"

It was then that Robert Powell realized that everyone at the event was staring at them. He felt embarrassed and lowered his voice to remind, "Mom, so many people are watching, don’t scold Xaviera any more."

"Xaviera, your grandmother is an elder, regardless of the situation you cannot hurt an elder. Moreover, it is precisely because you did not keep your promise that she wanted to punish you..."

Robert Powell believed that his attitude was already good enough, and Xaviera would surely understand his difficulties. However, his words were interrupted by clapping sounds from the audience.

Clap, clap, clap!

"How exciting! The Powell family’s attitude makes me doubt whether Quinn’s two championships were fake. Maybe there were excellent players just like Miss Cynthia before, but because they threatened Quinn’s position, they were secretly disposed of by the Powell family."

Robert Powell’s breath hitched.

At this moment, the entire audience looked at the Powell family with contempt. One of the special guests, a distinguished-looking man in a suit and leather shoes, slowly said: "Mr. Powell, you said it’s understandable for Madam Powell to punish Miss Cynthia because she didn’t keep her promise. But why should Miss Cynthia abide by such an unequal promise? Why should she consider the Powell family’s interests? Do you think you’re the sun and everyone should revolve around you?"
