Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: This Excuse Is a Bit Far-fetched

Jacob Powell’s face turned pale, and Xaviera Evans still spoke calmly: "Quinn Powell attempted to frame me at the fragrance competition, causing me to be insulted. She also framed me again at the Mamet family banquet. She repeatedly challenged my bottom line, but in the eyes of the Powell family members, she is still the most vulnerable and innocent person. Everything is my fault, I am not magnanimous enough, I’m too calculating, and I ignore family bonds."

"But Mr. Powell, think from my perspective. How can I forgive Quinn? How can I treat someone who has repeatedly framed me as a good sister? Don’t you think your request is too much?"

"If Mr. Powell doesn’t agree, feel free to ask others — am I really the unreasonable one, or are you shameless? But Mr. Powell is, after all, a nobleman who knows shame. You shouldn’t air your family’s dirty laundry to outsiders. Since you dare not speak, it means you also know that what Quinn did to me was wrong, yet you still try to justify her actions!"

Jacob was momentarily at a loss for words. He wanted to explain — Quinn has a kind heart, all those misunderstandings were caused by others who instigated her...

However, when he saw Xaviera’s mocking eyes, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Even if Quinn really did something wrong, after all, they are family. Couldn’t Xaviera forgive Quinn for his and his father’s sake?

"Mr. Powell, let me clarify—I will never be able to get along with her in peace. The only condition for me to return to the Powell family is to drive Quinn away!"

Jacob’s lips were tightly pressed, and he hadn’t had the chance to respond when he heard Xaviera chuckle: "Mr. Powell must think I’m unreasonable now. Regardless of what you think, this is my final decision and it’s not open to change."

At this point, Jacob’s forehead was covered with sweat. He was desperate to have Xaviera help Quinn, but under these circumstances, it would be difficult for her to agree.

"Xaviera, come home with me first, and we’ll sit down and talk slowly..."

Once they got Xaviera home, he and his father could try to persuade her. Perhaps when Xaviera saw Quinn’s feeble state on the sickbed, she might agree to the blood transfusion.

Jacob only thought of Xaviera’s blood and didn’t care about what she said. He anxiously looked at her, hoping she would go home with him.

"Mr. Powell, Xaviera has been talking this whole time, but you haven’t listened to a word." Caleb Mamet said coldly, "I’ll only ask you one question — what is your real purpose for suddenly asking Xaviera to come home?"

Bang!

Caleb slammed the coffee cup down on the table, shattering it immediately. His voice was laden with coldness: "Mr. Powell, I’m giving you two minutes to explain your intentions, or else...".

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Jacob already understood his meaning. His face instantly turned pale. He knew that if he didn’t explain his intentions, Xaviera wouldn’t go with him. But if he did explain, Xaviera would definitely refuse. He couldn’t possibly drag Xaviera away in front of Caleb. After some thought, he found an excuse: "Xaviera, regardless of your past grievances with Quinn, she is really seriously ill this time. I just want you to visit Quinn. I promise that I will announce you as the Powell family’s daughter and distinguish you and Quinn’s identity."

Xaviera was speechless. Jacob still refused to give in! Her attitude had been very firm already. The Powell family could only choose one between her and Quinn, not just distinguishing their identities as a biological daughter and an adopted daughter.

In the end, Jacob was still willing to patiently persuade her to come back just because he hoped she could give Quinn a blood transfusion.

"Xaviera...".

"Mr. Powell!" Before his sentence was finished, an angry voice came from the door. Albert Sullivan strode over with a stern expression: "You want Xaviera to go to the Powell family to visit Quinn? This excuse is too far-fetched!".

"Besides, Quinn has framed Xaviera multiple times. Why should Xaviera visit her?" Albert walked up to Jacob, a smirk on his lips, "Or is it that Mr. Powell heard that Xaviera knows medicine and wants her to treat Quinn?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and amid the silence, Xaviera gave a faint smile.

Jacob was instantly stunned. He didn’t know Albert, but seeing that he could directly enter the Lowen Clubhouse’s backyard and act so arrogantly, he must be a friend of Xaviera and Caleb.

But he didn’t know Xaviera could practice medicine!
