Chapter 1187: Chapter 1185: Insisting on Seashell Wind Chimes Chapter 1187: Chapter 1185: Insisting on Seashell Wind Chimes Zora Hughes suddenly had an idea: if Xaviera Evans got angry with her over a worthless shell wind chime, what would Caleb Mamet’s reaction be?
Perhaps Mr. Caleb Mamet would think it’s just an ordinary shell wind chime, and Xaviera got angry, making her temper too explosive, unlike her usual gentle and mild manner.
Since she was young, her grandmother taught her how to deal with women, so Zora knew very well how to subtly sabotage the relationship between Xaviera and Caleb. So, with a smile on her face, she spoke up: “Xaviera, I know you don’t like me, but my aunt is your biological mother and also Aunt Nina’s sister. She came here just to see the place where Aunt Nina used to live, what’s wrong with that? Why are you getting so angry?”
Nidya Hughes glared viciously at Xaviera, “Look at how understanding Zora is, and look at you, like a nemesis from a previous life!”
Zora smiled slightly, “Xaviera, we were wrong to barge in like this, but my aunt has been missing the late Aunt Nina and knew she used to live here, so she brought me along. I was afraid you’d be unhappy, so I brought you a gift.”
After that, Zora took a square velvet box from her bag, containing a diamond-encrusted bracelet. She originally planned to wear it to a Hughes family event, but now she decided to use the bracelet to settle the situation.
Zora smiled sincerely, took the bracelet out of the box, and spoke gently: “Xaviera, I know you have many valuable pieces of jewelry and that this bracelet may not mean much to you, but I also spent 1 million dollars on it. It’s just a token of my goodwill. There were some misunderstandings between us before. Consider this bracelet as an apology.”
Xaviera glanced up slightly, and Zora took the initiative to make amends? There must be something fishy going on.
Next second, Zora pointed at the shell wind chime on the ground and laughed, “Xaviera, I’ve given you a gift already, can you give me this? I don’t want any of the other valuable things; I just want this shell wind chime. I felt very close to it at first sight. It shouldn’t be important to you, so can you give it to me?”
Zora was quite sure that Xaviera valued the shell wind chime very much, but she insisted on grabbing it to cause trouble for Xaviera.
“No,” Xaviera replied coldly. However, the more she refused without hesitation, the more Zora was sure of the importance of the shell wind chime.
Zora wasn’t in a rush, looking regretful, “Xaviera, it’s just a shell wind chime. I’m willing to exchange it for a 1 million dollars bracelet. Why won’t you agree?”
As soon as her words fell, Nidya yelled, “Xaviera, how can you be so stingy! Zora gave you a 1 million dollars bracelet, yet you’re unwilling to part with the shell wind chime! How did I give birth to such a daughter?”
Zora quickly stepped forward to comfort her, “Aunt, don’t be angry for my sake. If Xaviera doesn’t want to give it, let’s leave it at that. I voluntarily offered her the bracelet, and I won’t force her to give me anything in return. I’m just worried that if this gets out, people will say Xaviera is ill-mannered, taking a 1 million dollars bracelet without even offering a gift in return.”
She gave Xaviera a 1 million dollars gift and then, among the pile of valuable items, chose the cheapest thing to accommodate Xaviera. However, Xaviera was unwilling to give it to her, so anyone who saw this would conclude that Xaviera was extremely rude.
So, how would Caleb view her?
Zora looked hurt, raising her eyes to Caleb, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, what do you think? I’m doing this for Xaviera’s sake, fearing people will gossip. After all…”
“There are only the four of us here. If we don’t talk about it, and Miss Hughes and Mrs. Hughes don’t say anything, who will know?” Caleb interrupted Zora’s words coldly, raising an eyebrow: “Or is it that Miss Hughes wants to spread this matter and ruin Xaviera’s reputation?”
The butler had left the storage room a while ago, leaving only the four of them. Of course, Caleb and Xaviera wouldn’t spread the word, leaving only the two of them.
Zora choked, her eyes reddened, and she bit her lip, “I… I won’t. I just… want the shell wind chime. If Xaviera doesn’t want to give it, that’s fine. I… ”
Xaviera didn’t even lift an eyebrow. Zora was right; she did not care for the bracelet, not because of its value but because it was a gift from Zora, whom she despised.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police.” Saying that, Xaviera took out her phone, and Nidya’s face turned pale. She knew Xaviera would go through with it, and if she waited for the police to come and take her away, it would be too humiliating.
