Chapter 1613: Chapter 1613: Everyone Will Pay a Price
Caleb Mamet felt like he was struck by lightning, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Xaviera Evans no longer looked at him but mockingly turned to Jacob Powell, "Mr. Powell, do you admit to imprisoning me?"
Jacob looked up, nodding sadly.
"Good." Xaviera slightly hooked the corner of her lips, walked to his side, and whispered, "Youâre smart. You know that imprisonment and intentional murder are different. By admitting to imprisoning me, you donât have to take responsibility for murder."
Jacobâs face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembling, "Xaviera, I already admitted it. What more do you want?"
Xaviera sneered, "Mr. Powell, Iâll give you two choices. Considering our sibling relationship, I donât want to let you off easily, but I canât forgive you, the murderer, easily either. So, Iâll have you admit to imprisoning me. Youâll voluntarily turn yourself in and seek leniency. Youâll be out in a few years after serving time in jail."
Jacobâs eyes widened, "You... you had this planned all along?"
"What else? Itâs crucial to have a comprehensive plan when dealing with the Powell family. I had everything planned since you came to Libanan. Moreover, I had already regained my memory at that time."
Jacobâs blood ran cold, he did not expect Xaviera to have been calculating against the Powell family for so long. Back then, he and his father truly wanted to bring her back to their family!
"By the way, thereâs one more thing..." Xaviera grinned, "Do you remember Julius Powell? Heâs now in a much higher position in the upper class than you, and you two even signed a betting agreement!"
Xavieraâs words were light and breezy but felt like a heavy boulder crashing down on Jacobâs heart.
"After you go in, who will manage the Powell family business? That fool Robert Powell doesnât know the first thing about business. Can he manage the precarious Powell Group? Or do you think Quinn Powellâs schemes of setting people up can support the Powell family?"
"Jacob Powell, when you go in, the Powell family will be completely ruined, and all of you will pay the price!"
"Donât hurt Quinn!" Jacob clenched his teeth.
"Since Mr. Powell has admitted his crimes, letâs go to the police station and turn ourselves in." Xaviera said coldly, turning and returning to Calebâs side.
Soon, the police put handcuffs on Jacob and took him away in a police car.
This drama plunged the Powell family into great panic, all their faces turning pale.
Xaviera smiled lightly, things were not over yet!
She indifferently glanced at Quinn Powell. Back when Jacob had imprisoned her in the basement, she had become Quinnâs "blood bank." Imprisonment was just one part of Jacobâs crimes; no one knew about the forced blood extraction and attempted murder.
Jacob had been arrested, and the rest of the crimes would have to be pinned on Quinn. However, the person backing Quinn had not yet surfaced, so Xaviera couldnât move against her. She would have to deal with Robert and Madam Powell first.
After a moment of silence, Xaviera spoke, "Mr. Robert Powell, my relationship with the Powell family is already beyond repair. Why not take this opportunity to sever ties?"
"No!" Robert refused without hesitation, a hint of pleading in his eyes, "Xaviera, I finally found you. How could you...?"
"Mr. Powell, Iâm telling the truth. If I go back to the Powell family, Quinn wonât have any good days. Sheâs framed me so many times, and I havenât had a chance to get revenge. So, eventually..."
"Xaviera, you wonât. Youâre so kind-hearted..."
"Kind-hearted?" Xaviera chuckled, "Mr. Powell, when did being kind-hearted become a derogatory term? You said Quinn and Jacob were kind-hearted, but look at what theyâve done! I can never become a part of their family!"
"Since all the journalists are present, I officially announce that I will sever ties with the Powell family! Mr. Robert Powell, this is a notice, not a question!"
Robertâs eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke in anguish, "Xaviera, do you hate me that much?"
"I agree!" Before Robert could speak, Madam Powell gritted her teeth and spoke, her aged face twisted with rage, "You bitch are not even worthy of entering the Powell familyâs door!"
Hearing Madam Powellâs curse, Xaviera wasnât angry at all. Instead, she laughed lightly, "Iâve already prepared the documents for severing our relationship. Please sign them later, Mr. Robert Powell."
