Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1045 - Chapter 1045 Chapter 1045 Losing Face Completely

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Losing Face Completely Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Losing Face Completely Cory Hughes stood still, and the guests’ eyes fell on him, as if mocking him for not educating his granddaughter well, who dared to defy him in public.

This Xaviera Evans is the nemesis of the Hughes family from a previous life! Just like her adoptive mother, she wouldn’t be disciplined!

Cory’s tone was impatient, “Who invited you? Xaviera, if you want to lie, at least make it plausible. Who would invite you to Cloud House on Zora’s apprenticeship banquet day? How could you be so coincidental? Since you refuse to repent, you don’t have to participate in the apprenticeship banquet, go back home immediately, I don’t want to see you!”

“I invited her! Any problem with that?” At this moment, an authoritative and domineering female voice came from outside the door.

Cory and Madam Hughes felt a tremor in their hearts, as if all their blood had frozen. This voice was all too familiar, so familiar it filled them with fear.

Letitia Russell strode in, with an overpowering aura, followed by the younger members of the Russell family. Seeing Xaviera nearby, she quickly waved to her to come over to her side, and then swept her cold eyes at Cory and Sebastian Legend. This couple looked like a pile of garbage, which she didn’t even bother putting in her eyes.

“When did Cloud House become the Hughes family’s turf? What right do you have to tell Xaviera to leave? Just because she refused Zora’s invitation, it means she can’t come to Cloud House?” Letitia’s series of questions made the Hughes family’s faces change.

Then Julian Russell stepped forward, his tone indifferent, “Sir Hughes.”

Cory gritted his teeth. Julian was obviously his own grandson, yet now he was addressing him as ‘Sir Hughes’ in such a distant manner. It was all because of Letitia’s manipulation.

Julian scoffed, “What’s wrong with my grandmother inviting my cousin to Cloud House for dinner? How did it become attending Zora’s apprenticeship banquet? Don’t try to take credit for everything, it makes you look cheap!”

He coldly glanced at Zora Hughes, who couldn’t help but tremble all over. The rest of the Hughes family all had ashen faces and clenched their lips.

“As a junior, I offer some advice. Sometimes, don’t be too self-confident. Xaviera doesn’t care for the Hughes family. If she wants connections, we, the Russell family, can help her completely. Why bother with the Hughes family? Fortunately, Xaviera is family and won’t hold a grudge against you, nor will she publicize this matter. Otherwise, all the Hughes family members would lose face along with you and Zora.”

His tone was calm, but every word struck at Cory’s face. Cory’s facial muscles twitched, and the anger in his eyes almost overflowed.

Cory never expected that the person who invited Xaviera to Cloud House for dinner would be Letitia Russell!

This was truly a total loss!

Today was Zora’s apprenticeship banquet, and Cory had specially invited many guests to show off. Now, everyone clearly heard Letitia’s words and whispered in low voices, “I heard that the Russell family only has Miss Evans as their daughter, so the whole family spoils her. Naturally, she has a good relationship with the Russell family. Now she’s having dinner with the Russells, but Cory indiscriminately insists that Miss Evans is in by virtue of Zora. He’s really putting gold on his own face!”

“Although the Hughes family has developed well in recent years, the gap between them and the Russell family is not small. Without the support of the Russell family back then, there would have been no present-day Hughes family. Cory has no face to make things difficult for the Russell daughter!”

The whispers of the crowd reached Cory’s ears, and his mind buzzed. In the past, he was the son-in-law of the Russell family, and outsiders always said he was supported by his wife. He had already divorced Letitia for so many years, but people still said he relied on her to start his business.

He clenched his teeth, his anger and resentment grew exponentially, all because of Letitia! It was all her fault!

In the past, Letitia was always above him, a woman who didn’t know how to be a wife and mother but liked doing business, completely overshadowing him as her husband. Now, her eyes were still so cold and calm, as if, in her eyes, he was just a speck of dust, and whatever he did would not affect her emotions.

With this thought, Cory felt as if the anger in his heart was about to burst out of his body. With blood-red eyes and gritted teeth, he said, “The Russell family can invite Xaviera to Cloud House, but did you make a reservation? This is Cloud House after all. Since you’re here, you have to follow the rules. Are you claiming to be Zora’s relatives to get in?”

Xaviera: “…” This guy has such a thick face!

Julian: “…”

It seemed that everyone was stunned by Cory’s inexplicable confidence, and no one spoke up.
