Chapter 1042 - Chapter 1042 Chapter 1042 Years of Affection Ultimately Given

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Years of Affection Ultimately Given in Vain Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Years of Affection Ultimately Given in Vain Xaviera Evans nodded. It wasn’t unusual for an aristocratic family like the Russell family to have their own business, but their headquarters was in Holy City, so why would they go through so much effort to open a huge restaurant in Libanan?

Moreover, the character “Yun “…

Xaviera suddenly realized that her maternal grandmother’s children’s names all contained the character “Yun “. Nina, Frederick, and Nidya; perhaps her grandmother had opened Cloud House in Libanan to commemorate her deceased daughter, Nina.

The car slowly stopped outside Cloud House, the door attendant came forward to open the car door, and Xaviera gracefully got out of the car. Caleb Mamet, however, remained seated in the car, watching Xaviera walk away.

Steve Price looked puzzled: “President Mamet, aren’t you going with your wife?”

Caleb lowered his gaze, hiding his emotions. “I have someone to see,” he said lightly.

“Alright, President Mamet, I’ll take you there right now!” Steve Price hurriedly prepared to start the car.

Caleb patted his shoulder, stopping his movement, and said indifferently, “You get off the car.”

Steve Price was confused: “Are we going to walk there, or is the person he wants to see inside Cloud House?”

Before he could figure it out, Caleb pointed at him and coldly ordered, “Get off the car and let Sean Price drive.”

Steve Price looked aggrieved: “President Mamet, why don’t you let me drive? Do you hate me that much? After all these years, our relationship turned out to be a mistake!”

On the other side, Xaviera had already entered the door. The attendant asked if she had a reservation and she mentioned Jerome Russell’s name. The attendant immediately spoke respectfully, “Miss Evans! Mr. Mamet’s private room is in the innermost part. It’s your first time here and it might be hard to find, so let me show you the way.”

Xaviera knew that Jerome would definitely use the most luxurious and spacious private room in Cloud House for his birthday celebration, so it couldn’t be on the first or second floor.

As the attendant led the way and was about to take her upstairs, a dissatisfied voice came from behind.

“Xaviera, how did you get here? You didn’t reply to our invitation, so I thought you weren’t coming!” Cory Hughes frowned, his face full of displeasure.

Xaviera: “…” Cory? What are they doing here?

She looked around and saw the Hughes family dressed formally. Zora Hughes was even decked out in full makeup and formal attire. In an instant, Xaviera realized that the apprenticeship banquet was being held at Cloud House!

The Hughes family was hosting their banquet at the Russell family’s restaurant, which was quite a coincidence!

To the Hughes family, Xaviera’s presence seemed to have completely changed the flavor of the occasion. They believed that she claimed she wouldn’t attend but had secretly come here anyway.

Twenty minutes earlier.

Cory Hughes stood at the entrance, welcoming guests in an expensive suit. Although Manning Warwick hadn’t arrived yet, the people he had sent to pass the message said Manning Warwick had left and was heading towards Cloud House.

Listening to the compliments from the guests, Cory had a smug smile on his face. He occasionally praised his granddaughter’s excellence and said that he would feel relieved if the Hughes family’s future was entrusted to her.

“Old Hughes, I really envy you! Your granddaughter is not only beautiful but also so talented. My daughter told me that your granddaughter is a well-known perfumer, and the perfume she produces is extremely popular overseas! People can’t even buy it with money!”

Cory’s face flushed with pride and he said generously, “You’re too kind. After the banquet, let Zora take your daughter to pick a few bottles of perfume.”

“Zora has been a quick learner since she was a child. She mastered music, chess, calligraphy, and painting at the age of five. Many people said she was a prodigy. Who would’ve thought she would become a perfumer when she grew up? At least she made a name for herself abroad. It’s not strange for a girl to like these bottles and jars, and as long as she’s happy, I won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t like.”

After Cory finished speaking, friends continued to praise, “Old Hughes, don’t be modest! Your granddaughter is indeed a talented woman! With such achievements at a young age, her future is boundless. Unlike my unfilial son, who only knows how to indulge in eating, drinking, and playing, and doesn’t work hard. It’s my fault for not teaching him well! We all want to know how you’ve educated your granddaughter!”

Madam Hughes smiled broadly. Her beloved granddaughter had indeed lived up to her expectations, bringing honor to the Hughes family.

As everyone chatted, someone suddenly mentioned, “Old Hughes, don’t you have another granddaughter?”

As soon as the words were out, the atmosphere grew quiet. Cory’s face was somewhat embarrassed. Sensing that he had misspoken, the man tried to correct himself, but Cory cut him off with a hearty laugh: “It’s not that I can’t talk about it. It’s just that she isn’t close to the Hughes family. We sent her an invitation for the apprenticeship banquet, but she didn’t want to attend.”
