Chapter 1617: Chapter 1617: Imprinting Kidnapping and Imprisonment in the Genes
Mrs. Russell angrily scolded, "Now that the truth is out, youâre still not willing to let her go, and youâre trying to shove your despicable son to Nina and tarnish her reputation! Robert Powell, as a nobleman of Yittaland, youâve actually done such a shameful thing. It seems like I need to have a good talk with the authorities of Yittaland!"
After Mrs. Russell finished speaking, everyone took a sharp breath.
Her meaning was that Jacob was not Nina Hughesâ son, and Xaviera Evans was not Robert Powellâs daughter, meaning Xaviera had no relationship with the Powell family!
Robert was stunned, his body trembling uncontrollably, "You... lied to me, Nina was my woman, she gave birth to a child for me!"
Mrs. Russell sneered, "Mr. Powell seems to have a delusion, he should get treated early, let me be clear, my daughter has nothing to do with you. If I hear you spreading rumors again that my daughter is your mistress, and youâre using your fatherâs identity to morally kidnap Xaviera, I will definitely not let you off!"
"Although my family is no longer in the Imperial City and do not fear the Powell family anymore, your son and Madam Powell are both in jail now, and the companyâs troubles are enough to make you frantic. If youâre not convinced, feel free to fight against my family!"
It was now that everyone realized the truth behind it all. More than twenty years ago, Robert kidnapped Nina Hughes, Madam Powell abused and murdered her. Later, Jacob kidnapped Xaviera and almost killed her. Did the Powell family have kidnapping and imprisonment engraved in their genes?
Quinn Powell panicked in an instant. That person had already instructed her to make sure Nina Hughes would forever carry the title of âRobertâs mistressâ, but now that Mrs. Russell had clarified it in public, it was beyond repair. Would that woman abandon her then?
She didnât understand the womanâs intentions, but over the years sheâs been egging Madam Powell and Robert on, claiming to outsiders that Nina Hughes was just a mistress. Now that Jacob and Madam Powell are in jail, and Robert cannot fight against Mrs. Russell, what should she do?
Mrs. Russell glanced at Robert with disgust and said bitterly, "If my daughter hadnât met you back then, she would have lived happily with her lover and been by my side, instead of dying prematurely. It was you who ruined her life!"
She took a deep breath, suppressed her surging anger, and then looked at Xaviera with a gentle tone, "Xaviera, youâve been wronged, but now you know youâre not Robertâs child, you have no connection to this cowardly and selfish man!"
After finishing, Mrs. Russellâs gaze landed on Quinn and the corner of her mouth curled into a mocking smile, "You do look quite like that woman, though!"
No one understood the meaning of her words, and Mrs. Russell quickly left, "Xaviera, Iâll wait for you in the side hall."
Xaviera nodded, knowing that Mrs. Russell had something to say to her. She gave a cold glance at Quinn and Robert, "Mr. Powell, Miss Powell, just a reminder, you need to deal with the Powell Perfume matter as soon as possible. Iâll leave first."
Everyone only reacted then. Quinn had confidently claimed the championship back then, and the Powell Group had invested 4 billion dollars. Not only had those 4 billion gone down the drain, but they would also have to compensate Julius Powell a huge sum of money.
The senior executives of the Powell Group present were all sweating in horror, their vicious gazes could have pierced through Quinn.
"Quinn Powell, you have to give us an explanation today!"
"Yes! Weâve put our heart and effort into the Powell Group for so many years, and this time youâve ruined all our hard work, you have to give us a reason!"
Quinn clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to leave, but there were people everywhere, and she had nowhere to escape.
Xaviera was very resourceful! With all her fuss, the entire Powell family was affected, and the press conference, which was meant to target Xaviera, ended up ruining everyone in the Powell family!
Xaviera, who was not far away, squinted her eyes slightly, "Irene, get someone to keep an eye on Quinn."
Irene nodded, "Alright, but are you sure that person will contact Quinn? Maybe the other party will think sheâs useless now and give up on her."
Xaviera shook her head, "No, theyâve been carefully cultivating her and setting up such a big trap for so many years. If they abandon Quinn now, it wouldnât be worth it."
The storm subsided and people gradually left. Robert and Quinn Powell slumped powerlessly in their chairs, looking utterly wretched.
As Quinn watched Xavieraâs retreating figure, her teeth gritted in hatred.
This bitch ruined her future and reputation!
But it doesnât matter, even though the Powell family lost to Xaviera, there are still many others who want to kill her. Once back in the Imperial City, her death will be even more miserable than five years ago!
