Chapter 1547: Chapter 1547: Killing at the First Sign of Disagreement
Xaviera Evans sneered as Quinn Powell started crying again, using tears to gain sympathy - such a despicable tactic.
Yigol Mamet said angrily, "Xaviera has never been a troublemaker! Even if she really did push you into the water, itâs because you provoked her first! Quinn Powell, you claim Xaviera pushed you into the water, but why donât you tell everyone what you did? Are you trying to gain public sympathy and use public opinion against Xaviera by crying in front of everyone?"
Quinnâs expression showed a hint of panic. She knew that some people wouldnât believe Xaviera had pushed her into the water, but she had only one chance - if she could pin the blame on Xaviera this time, her goal would be achieved; otherwise, she wouldnât know when sheâd catch Xaviera in a trap again.
She widened her eyes, filled with sadness and confusion, and looked at Yigol Mamet, "Mr. Yigol Mamet, I really donât understand your meaning. Itâs true that Mrs. Mamet and I have some grievances, and I did indeed speak to her, but that was only because I didnât know anyone in the Mamet family. I just wanted to say hello, but Mrs. Mamet pushed me into the water directly, causing me to nearly drown."
"What if I had actually drowned? I was soaked in the water for a full half-hour, suffering so much. Now, all I want is an apology, but Mr. Yigol Mamet refuses to give me one?"
"Even if I really said something wrong and offended Mrs. Mamet, she couldnât just kill me in anger!"
The attending guests all had business dealings with the Mamet family or the Mamet Corporation, and no one wanted to offend Caleb Mamet. However, they had to admit that what Quinn said made sense; even if she had offended Mrs. Mamet, she shouldnât just kill someone over a disagreement! There was no such logic in the world!
At this point, a well-dressed noble lady couldnât help but speak up, "Mr. Mamet, Miss Powell is right. No matter what she said, Mrs. Mamet shouldnât kill anyone. Thatâs a disregard for the law!"
"If anyone dares to say a few words that anger Mrs. Mamet, they will be killed. How can we even interact with Mrs. Mamet in the future? If we accidentally say something wrong, we could lose our lives! If a conflict arises, our entire families will be implicated!"
As Quinn heard someone stand up and accuse Xaviera, the hatred in her heart finally found release.
This scene seemed familiar - five years ago, Xaviera was also accused by everyone, and now she was once again trapped in such a predicament, unable to defend herself.
Quinn looked at Caleb Mamet, her eyes full of tearful shimmer, "Mr. Mamet, no matter what, I am Madam Mametâs life saver. I was invited to this banquet by Madam Mamet. In everyoneâs eyes, I am an honored guest of the Mamet family. But now, Mrs. Mamet actually attacked me, her benefactor. Isnât that too much!"
"When Madam Mamet was in danger, I rushed forward without hesitation, and Madam Mamet was very grateful to me, but Mrs. Mamet tries to kill me. Is it because she thinks I shouldnât have saved Madam Mamet and wants me gone?"
Everyoneâs expressions instantly stiffened.
Quinnâs words made it sound like Mrs. Mamet didnât want Madam Mamet alive!
If it were just a conflict between two women, it might be easier to handle. After all, the previous perfume competition incident had been widely discussed online, and everyone knew that Quinn framed Xaviera. But if it involved Madam Mamet, things would take a different turn.
Quinn was Madam Mametâs life saver, so Mrs. Mamet should be grateful to her. Why then would she want to kill her? Could it be that Mrs. Mamet and Madam Mamet didnât have a good relationship? If so, the car accident could have been orchestrated by Mrs. Mamet, who didnât count on Quinn showing up unexpectedly to save Madam Mamet, thereby ruining her plan. Thatâs why Mrs. Mamet was so angry and wanted to kill Quinn.
There were too many grudges and disputes in aristocratic families. Everyone present had seen their share of treachery within their own families and, therefore, couldnât help but think about the worst possibilities.
When they thought of what Mrs. Mamet might have done, they couldnât help but feel a shiver run down their spines. How could such a young girl have a heart as cold and vicious as a snake? What would Madam Mamet think of knowing her granddaughter-in-law wanted to harm her?
Seeing the fear and disgust in everyoneâs eyes, Quinn felt happy.
Not only did she want Xavieraâs reputation completely destroyed, but she also wanted the Mamet family to despise her, driving a wedge between her and Madam Mamet. When that time came, Caleb Mamet would be caught in the middle and forced to make a choice.
