Chapter 1553: Chapter 1533: Unleashing Her Trump Card
Jacob Powellâs eyes widened in an instant, somewhat puzzled by the noble ladyâs words.
She said Quinn was malicious and framed Xaviera?
During the previous fragrance competition, everyone claimed that Quinn and Linda Campbell conspired to frame Xaviera. However, he chose to believe that Quinn wouldnât do such a thing. If Quinn was only incited by Linda, then naturally, he also believed that she wouldnât frame Xaviera at the Mamet family banquet.
Quinn lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. Her already frail body trembled helplessly. Jacob Powell couldnât bear to see her like this, and the little suspicion in his heart gradually dissipated.
Frowning, he retorted, "Iâm Quinnâs brother, and I know her very well. She would never frame anyone! Quinn, if the Mamet family canât tolerate you, letâs leave together!"
"Although this is Libanan and the Mamet familyâs territory, our Powell daughter cannot be slandered at will! I hope Miss pays attention to her words, so as not to bring trouble to herself!"
The noble lady widened her eyes in disbelief, glanced at Yigol Mamet, and finally understood why he didnât bother arguing. Talking to a fool was really annoying!
Jacob Powell was the kind of person who appeared smart and clever on the surface but was actually quite stupid. This was probably self-delusion!
After a long silence, the noble lady couldnât help but sneer, "Since you trust your sister so much, I have nothing to say. When the day comes that the Powell family is ruined by Quinn, donât regret it!"
"Shut up!" Jacob Powellâs face turned incredibly gloomy. "Which familyâs daughter are you? How dare you curse the Powell family like this? Quinn, letâs go!"
Jacob Powell turned around and saw Madam Mamet standing nearby. He seemed to want to say something, but seeing everyoneâs disdainful gazes, he swallowed his words and left with Quinn.
"A perfectly good banquet was disrupted by her, how unlucky!" Yigol Mamet complained.
Quinn had heard this remark, clenched her teeth, and followed Jacob Powell quickly.
After leaving, Jacob Powell couldnât help but wonder what happened today. With so many people present, Madam Mamet was also watching. How could they just stand by and let Xaviera bully Quinn? No matter what, Quinn was Madam Mametâs life saver, so how could she remain indifferent to this?
Just as he was about to ask, Quinn beside him started sobbing. With her head lowered and tears dripping onto the ground, she stammered, "Brother, Iâm sorry I brought shame upon you."
"I know that because of the fragrance competition, Xaviera has always disliked me. I wanted to take advantage of the banquet, when Xaviera was in a good mood, to explain the situation. But Xaviera refused to listen. In her eyes, I was no different from Linda Campbell and had framed her, almost ruining her reputation. Itâs normal for her not to forgive me, and I donât mind how she misunderstands me. But Iâm afraid sheâll misunderstand you and father. She even said she would cut off ties with you. I was just too impulsive, so I said some angry words."
Seeing his sister cry so grievously, Jacob Powell hurriedly comforted her in a soft voice, "Quinn, donât cry. Brother knows youâre kindhearted."
Quinn looked up, her round eyes and delicate nose reddened, her voice soft, "Brother, I didnât mean any harm. I just didnât want to upset you and father, so I went to explain to Xaviera. But it only deepened your misunderstanding of me. I-Iâm sorry to you and father."
Jacob Powellâs eyes were filled with affection, his voice gentle to the extreme, "Quinn, donât apologize. This isnât your fault."
His heart ached. Whether Quinn was right or wrong, her intentions were good. She did it for them, for the Powell family. But Xaviera...
It was true that Xaviera was wronged during the fragrance competition, but she couldnât blame it all on Quinn. Today, Quinn was the one who was wronged, but she didnât say a word of accusation against Xaviera. Instead, she tried to explain for her.
Jacob Powell couldnât help but feel a surge of anger, frowning unhappily, "How come Madam Mamet didnât speak up for you just now? Youâre her life saver, and they donât even remember their gratitude?"
Quinnâs eyes were filled with resentment, her sharp nails almost digging into her palms.
Yes! They didnât even remember their gratitude! Well, donât blame her for being ruthless then!
Xaviera had pushed her into the water, causing her to soak for half an hour. She had to avenge todayâs grudge, which meant she had to resort to her trump card earlier than planned!
