Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659: About Your Origin

"Lisa Hughes didn’t tell you what exactly happened, but she accused Xaviera Evans of stealing a lotus bracelet. However, the bracelet Xaviera has was a gift from Mrs. Letitia Russell. Lisa made outrageous accusations at the Sullivan family’s birthday banquet, offending Mrs. Sullivan, Caleb Mamet, and even Mrs. Letitia Russell. If I had sided with her, she would have had a hard time leaving the Sullivan residence today. Do you really wish to escalate things?"

"You should understand what kind of person Caleb Mamet is. If Lisa offended him, she might mysteriously die one day. How long do you think the Hughes family can protect Lisa?"

"I suggested that she should apologize to Xaviera, in order to settle things peacefully. Just because she’s the daughter of the Hughes family doesn’t mean she can create chaos without consequences. There are people in this world that she can’t afford to mess with. Do you understand the consequences of causing trouble in Caleb Mamet’s territory?"

Jeffrey Hughes spoke in a calm tone, which left his assistant astounded.

The young master was actually rebutting Madam Hughes for once, and his words were full of reason. It seemed the young master was finally standing up for himself!

"Jeffrey Hughes!" Ruby Russell roared.

"Grandmother, I’m quite busy, so I’ll hang up now." Without any hesitation, Jeffrey Hughes hung up the phone.

The assistant curiously asked, "Young Master, why did you...?"

Jeffrey Hughes rubbed his tired eyes, "I think I have unearthed some secrets."

On the other side, the birthday party ended. Mrs. Russell and Xaviera walked to the entrance together. Mrs. Russell held Xaviera’s hand, speaking earnestly: "Xaviera, there are things you can’t avoid. Sooner or later, you have to face them."

Xaviera understood Mrs. Russell’s implications. One day, she would have to confront the grievances between her and the Hughes family openly. Rather than hide, it was better to face it head-on.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can come to see grandma at any time." After speaking, it seemed like Mrs. Russell remembered something, and suddenly asked: "By the way, you and Caleb have been married for a while now. When do you plan to hold a wedding ceremony?"

At these words, Caleb looked taken aback.

Wedding ceremony?

Was Mrs. Russell reminding him? He hadn’t given Xaviera a wedding ceremony yet. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, it was just that Xaviera had been waiting for the miracle doctor to return. Now that he was going to the Imperial City, it was time to start preparing for the wedding.

Xaviera also fell into thought, following Caleb into the car.

...

The following day.

When Caleb picked Xaviera up from school and just entered the house, Sam hurried over, "Missus Mamet, a gentleman has been waiting for you. He’s been standing outside for two hours. I felt sorry for him and asked him to wait in the living room."

Xaviera paused. Who was in such a hurry to see her?

"Who is it?"

"He didn’t give a name, he just said that you would recognize him. But I’ve never seen him before, so he doesn’t seem like trouble." Sam had been at the Lowen Clubhouse for so many years and had seen many high-profile individuals from Libanan, so if he didn’t recognize someone, it probably meant that the person wasn’t from around here.

As Xaviera stepped into the living room, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: "Mr. Hughes?"

The man in the living room had a stern face, strong posture, and an aura of refined leisure. He didn’t seem to be bothered by the fact that he had been kept waiting for over three hours.

Seeing Xaviera and Caleb walk in, Jeffrey Hughes slowly stood up, "Mrs. Mamet, Mr. Mamet."

"Please, sit down." After Xaviera spoke, she and Caleb sat down across from Jeffrey Hughes.

"Mr. Hughes, is there a reason for your visit today? If it’s regarding Lisa Hughes, then there’s no point in having this conversation."

Jeffrey Hughes replied in a gentle tone, "No, it’s about you."

Caleb Mamet’s eyes were slightly cold.

"About your lineage."

At these words, Xaviera’s pupils contracted abruptly.

Jeffrey Hughes got straight to the point, "From your reaction, Xaviera, you seem aware of your lineage. Your mother, Nina Hughes, was my aunt."

Xaviera put on an indifferent expression: "Oh... So you’re Zona Campbell’s son."

"Yes." Jeffrey Hughes confirmed calmly, "I’m her actual child. Lisa Hughes is her adopted daughter and my father’s identity is unknown, so I took my mother’s surname, Hughes."

"What’s the point of telling me this?"

Jeffrey Hughes calmly stated, "You’re Nina Hughes’ daughter and an heiress to the Hughes family. Your status is far more noble than Lisa’s. Would you like to return to the Hughes family?"

Xaviera curled her lips, "Is this Madam Hughes’ idea?"

"It is grandmother’s idea," replied Jeffrey Hughes truthfully.

Xaviera looked perplexed. After all, Ruby Russell had once abandoned her own mother and appeared to hate her. So why was she suggesting Xaviera return to the Hughes family now with an heiress’s identity? And what would become of Lisa?

Ruby Russell spoils Lisa, right? Could she bear to see Lisa suffer?

"I’m not willing to," Xaviera replied at her ease.
