Chapter 1193: Chapter 1194: Nidya Hughes Gets Punished Chapter 1193: Chapter 1194: Nidya Hughes Gets Punished Bill Bankston’s smile disappeared abruptly when he heard Nidya Hughes’ words, “Mrs. Hughes, your actions are suspected of being illegal, and they have caused mental harm to my client.”

“Don’t try to scare me, I am…” Nidya’s words were interrupted by Bill’s indifference: “Miss Hughes’ diamond bracelet was bought at an auction in Imperial City a few months ago, worth 1 million dollars. The amount involved in the case is huge, and if the charge of theft is upheld, my client will be severely punished, and her reputation will be affected.”

Nidya Hughes was displeased: “I didn’t say I would punish her.”

“Mrs. Hughes, whether or not to punish isn’t up to you,” Bill’s eyes were sharp, “From the moment you entered the police station to file a report, it has shown that you want to punish Miss Evans.”

Nidya Hughes was suddenly choked up, her heart pounding violently. She just wanted to teach Xaviera Evans a lesson, not to put her in jail!

“Now that the diamond bracelet has been found on Miss Hughes, it proves that Mrs. Hughes has slandered my client,” Bill’s voice was not fast, but every word hit Nidya Hughes, “According to the regulations, slandering others requires detention of more than ten days, Mrs. Hughes. If you have any questions, you can also ask your lawyer to negotiate with me.”

“No…No way.” Hearing about detention, Nidya Hughes panicked. She had come to the police station to file a report, so how could they arrest her now?

Nidya Hughes anxiously said, “Why? I had a reasonable suspicion, I…”

“Mrs. Hughes, while it’s still early, you can contact your own lawyer as soon as possible,” Bill stood up, his eyes cold.

“Mrs. Hughes.” The policewoman signaled Nidya Hughes to leave, her face pale and her body trembling uncontrollably. She glanced at Xaviera Evans and saw her sitting there indifferently, her heart suddenly turning cold.

In her panic, she shouted, “No! You can’t detain me! My father is Cory Hughes! On what grounds?”

Everyone ignored her outburst. The policewoman was about to leave, dragging her hand when Nidya Hughes suddenly broke free and roared with all her might, “Xaviera Evans, you can’t ignore me!”

“I’m your mother! I’m your real mother! You’re suing me and having me detained over something trivial? Is that how a daughter should act? Withdraw the case now!”

The room fell silent.

The police officers were all stunned. First, a mother accused her daughter of theft, and now the daughter accused her biological mother of slander. This was quite a drama!

It took a while for Xaviera Evans to laugh, her lips curled up slightly, and her bright, calm eyes asked, “My mother?”

The crowd was also puzzled. Since they were mother and daughter, why would Nidya Hughes believe Zora Hughes’s words and bite the bullet that her own daughter had stolen something? Even if she really suspected Miss Evans of theft, she should have considered her reputation and resolved it privately, right? Why make it to the police station?

Seeing Caleb Mamet’s sullen face, Bill immediately retorted, “Mrs. Hughes keeps saying she’s Miss Evans’ mother, but you’ve determined that Miss Evans has stolen based on Zora’s words. Even if you don’t know the law, you should be clear that once the charges are proven, Miss Evans’ reputation and future will be ruined.”

“Now you regret it, and want Miss Evans to drop the charges, but have you ever thought about how much harm your actions would bring to Miss Evans?”

Bill continued, “Mrs. Hughes, let me remind you, Miss Evans’ legally recognized mother on her birth certification is Mrs. Nina Hughes. No matter whether they are biological mother and daughter or not, this relationship is legally recognized, and since you abandoned your child back then, you have no right to call yourself Miss Evans’ mother anymore.”

“I didn’t abandon her, I lost her!” Nidya Hughes countered with a terrifying expression, but there was a touch of fear in her eyes.

“At that time, I thought Xaviera Evans had stolen something. I wanted to call the police to give her a lesson, so she wouldn’t dare do it again. And since Zora lost something valuable, I was afraid she would be sad. I didn’t think too much and assumed…”

“You’re afraid Miss Hughes would be sad, but not Miss Evans? Mrs. Hughes, you’re not a qualified mother.” The policewoman finished speaking, looked gently at Xaviera Evans, and said, “Miss Evans, we have already accepted your case.”

Nidya Hughes’ body stiffened, her face full of horror.

Was she not a qualified mother? She had reported the theft because she was worried that Xaviera Evans might go down the wrong path. It was better for her, as her mother, to report the crime rather than have someone else do it when she made a mistake in the future. Besides, she had never thought of putting Xaviera Evans in jail; she just wanted her to apologize at the police station and admit her mistake. That way, Zora would have no reason to blame Xaviera Evans anymore.

Why couldn’t Xaviera Evans understand the heart of her mother?
