Chapter 1562: Chapter Fifteen-Hundred and Sixty-Two: Which Home Are You Taking Her Back To?
The Powell family could very possibly be the people behind some research, or they could just be a shield used by someone else to hide their identity. Since Jacob Powell had come to visit, Xaviera Evans naturally wouldnât miss the chance to find out more information.
With this in mind, Xaviera picked up her phone and sent a message to Albert Sullivan. Moments later, Steve Price brought Jacob Powell over.
Jacob Powell looked anxious and said, "Xaviera, come home with me right now!"
Xaviera looked down, not bothering to reply. Caleb Mamet sneered beside her, "Mr. Powell, Lowen Clubhouse is Xavieraâs home now. What home are you taking her to?"
Jacob Powellâs expression faltered, but he quickly argued, "Xaviera may be married to you, but sheâs still one of us Powells. Of course, I have to take her back to our home!"
Before Xaviera and Caleb could respond, Jacob Powell leaned in slightly and urgently said, "Xaviera, the car is waiting outside. Come home with me right now!"
Sam and Lucy exchanged glances, both with faces full of contempt.
This man was an earl from Yittaland? He barged into Lowen Clubhouse, demanding to take his wife away without giving a reason. Moreover, Xaviera didnât even acknowledge him as her brother. Why should she go back to the Powell family with him?
As soon as Jacob Powell finished speaking, Xaviera gracefully put down her coffee cup, a cold smirk on her lips. "Mr. Powell, whatâs the urgent matter that you want me to go back with you so desperately?"
Jacob Powell choked on his words, glancing subconsciously at Caleb Mamet, and said somewhat guiltily, "I...I came to find you because thereâs an urgent matter. Youâll know when you come back with me."
"Mr. Powell." Caleb Mamet raised his eyes slowly, his light brown eyes filled with ice. "You want to take Xaviera away without giving a reason. Are you ignoring me?"
Jacob Powellâs throat tightened. While he didnât dare offend Caleb Mamet, Xaviera was his biological sister. What was wrong with him taking her away?
"Mr. Caleb Mamet, Xaviera and I are siblings. Do I need a reason to take her with me? Itâs just that the situation is urgent, and I want to take her away first."
"Iâm sorry." Caleb Mametâs lips curled up into a chilling smile, seemingly unconcerned. "Xaviera is very busy lately and has no time to deal with the Powell familyâs affairs. Besides, Mr. Powell, without giving me a reasonable explanation, I absolutely wonât agree to let you take Xaviera away. Moreover, ever since you and Mr. Powell came to recognize each other, you still havenât announced Xavieraâs identity. Now, Xaviera and the Powell family have no relationship, and Mr. Powell has no right to take her away."
"If Mr. Powell is still persistent, I will immediately call the police and accuse you of trespassing and kidnapping my wife. Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go this far?"
Jacob Powellâs face instantly turned pale. In this period, the Powell family had indeed not announced Xavieraâs identity. It was due to his and his fatherâs lack of consideration, but they were worried about Quinnâs reaction, and their grandmother was still opposed to it. He and his father were caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, his face was extremely awkward. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xaviera, I know youâre upset that our father and I havenât publicly announced your identity, but we have our difficulties too. I promise you, as soon as the Powell familyâs perfume business takes off and officially enters the sales boom, my father and I will immediately announce you as the Powell familyâs daughter. Can you wait a little longer for that?"
Xaviera was drinking her coffee and eating a pastry when she heard Jacob Powell suddenly speak to her. She looked at him, confused.
Seeing Xaviera not answering, Jacob Powell confirmed her thoughts and said with a hint of forcefulness, "When the time is ripe, you will naturally be able to return to the Powell family. You shouldnât throw a tantrum at us. With the Powell blood in you, you should listen to me and father. Come with me right now!"
After saying this, Jacob Powell reached out to grab Xavieraâs hand.
Xaviera shook off his hand, raising her eyebrows at him, "Mr. Powell, by now, you should have already explained your intentions clearly. Is it because youâre afraid that once I know the reason, I wonât go back with you?"
Jacob Powellâs expression stiffened, and he looked at Xaviera with disappointment on his face. They were supposed to be blood relatives; why didnât Xaviera trust him? She would naturally know once she came back to the Powell family with him.
He had thought it was Caleb Mamet who didnât agree with Xaviera going back with him, but now it seemed Xaviera wasnât willing herself!
Jacob Powellâs face darkened, "Xaviera..."
"I know. Itâs because of Quinn Powell, isnât it?" Xavieraâs eyes were filled with mockery, and she chuckled lightly. "I heard that Quinn Powell is sick recently. Mr. Powell, did you come to find me so I can apologize to her?"
Upon hearing this, the few people around glared at Jacob Powell with hostility.
