Chapter 1687: Chapter 1687: Becoming the Distinguished Daughter of the Hughes Family

"Oh." Xaviera looked indifferent, causing Madame Hughes’ face to turn extremely awkward. "Xaviera, I came to pick you up personally to take you home, and you’re showing me this attitude? Didn’t your mother teach you how to respect your elders?"

Xaviera’s face turned cold, "My mother passed away a long time ago, so indeed, nobody taught me that. I wasn’t raised by your side, Madame Hughes, so it’s normal for you not to like me. You don’t need to take me home either."

Ruby Russell flew into a rage instantly, glaring at her viciously. Lisa Hughes hurriedly spoke up, "Xaviera, Grandma is your elder, how can you speak to her like this?"

Lisa walked over to Xaviera, holding her hand, "As a junior, you should know how to respect your elders. Hurry and apologize to Grandma."

Before Xaviera could speak, Caleb Mamet suddenly chuckled lightly, "Madam Hughes, Xaviera can go back with you, but she must return as Miss Hughes, and the entire Hughes family should respect her. If she suffers any grievances in the Hughes family, I’m afraid it won’t look good on the Hughes family."

The expressions of both Lisa and Madame Hughes changed in an instant.

Madame Hughes clenched her teeth, holding back the anger in her heart, "Fine, I will announce Xaviera’s identity. You can rest assured, once Xaviera returns to the Hughes family, she will be the legitimate Miss. I will strictly restrain Lisa and not let her cause trouble for Xaviera."

Caleb nodded with a smile, "I hope Madame Hughes will remember her words. Also, I hope you can hold a banquet for Xaviera, inviting the noble families of the Imperial City to attend."

Ruby Russell’s face turned dark and sinister, gritting her teeth, "Fine! From now on, Xaviera is the most honorable daughter of the Hughes family, and everyone should respect her."

Lisa felt weak, as if Madame Hughes’ words were a heavy slap on her face. If Xaviera is the most honorable daughter of the Hughes family, what about her? She had been the Hughes family’s daughter for more than twenty years, with all the noble ladies of the Imperial City bending over backward to please her. But now that Xaviera has returned to the Hughes family, she has been replaced. Those noble ladies will definitely laugh at her!

Xaviera! Nina Hughes! Both are bitches!

After everything was settled, Madame Hughes left. As soon as she stepped out of the villa’s gate, Lisa started crying, "Grandma, you don’t love me anymore! Caleb dislikes me too, I can’t compare to Xaviera in any way!"

Ruby Russell patiently comforted her, "Lisa, I had no choice either. For the sake of the Hughes family’s reputation, I had to temporarily agree to his demands."

Back then, Nina’s stunning talent had left a deep impression on everyone in the Imperial City. As her daughter, the Hughes family had to attach importance to Xaviera; otherwise, people would gossip. Moreover, Xaviera’s blood played a significant role.

"Lisa, you must calm down. Don’t forget, the Imperial City is our territory. Once she arrives in the Imperial City, you can deal with her as you like. I indeed promised to hold a banquet for her, but your birthday is coming up shortly after returning to the Imperial City. At that time, we can have both the birthday banquet and the identity reveal banquet together. Everyone will come to congratulate you on your birthday, and naturally, no one will go to her side."

Upon hearing this, Lisa suddenly laughed, "Grandma is truly amazing! Can you invite Caleb to attend my birthday banquet?"

Ruby Russell looked at Lisa, sighing helplessly, "Lisa, Caleb is not suitable for you. It’s better not to force it."

Back then, Zona and Nina had fallen in love with the same man, which had caused a lot of trouble. In the end, both daughters died tragically. Thus, Ruby had a feeling that if Lisa persisted in pursuing Caleb, it would definitely end badly.

"Grandma, I genuinely like Caleb. Back then, my mother liked Mr. Turner, and you helped her, right? Please help me now!" Lisa pleaded with tears in her eyes. Then she cried, "I just can’t accept it. The one who got engaged to Mr. Turner back then was Nina, and now the one who married Caleb is Xaviera. Why can they, mother and daughter, easily snatch away my and my mother’s lovers?"

Ruby couldn’t help but fall into a memory, thinking that this scene did look familiar. Zona had also once knelt before her, crying about why Nina came to the Imperial City and stole her lover.

Looking at the tear-streaked face of Lisa, Ruby Russell made a decision.

On the other hand, the news of Xaviera’s decision to go to the Imperial City reached the Russell family, who immediately decided to move to the Imperial City as a whole. As for Caleb, he handed over all company affairs to Yigol Mamet and accompanied Xaviera to the Imperial City.

For a long time, Libanan had belonged to Caleb, with everyone eyeing the Mamet Corporation greedily, wanting to take a share while Caleb was away. However, they underestimated Yigol, who indeed used to be an ignorant and incompetent playboy but was only pretending to be so. Now, he is more than capable of standing on his own.
