Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Mrs. Salt’s Banquet Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Mrs. Salt’s Banquet In an instant, the ten-day detention of Nidya Hughes and Zora Hughes came to an end, and they were picked up by the Hughes family’s car. Upon their return to the Hughes residence, Madam Hughes hugged them both and cried nonstop, while Cory Hughes stood nearby with a gloomy expression on his face.

Nidya complained, “Dad! Zora and I were detained, why didn’t any of you do anything? We were in there for a full ten days, and now word might have gotten out.”

Cory Hughes’s eyes darkened, “Don’t worry, I’ve suppressed the news, so nobody knows about your detention. I’ve also turned down all invitations involving you both. However, we refused Mrs. Salt’s invitation, and the Salt family seems to be unhappy about it, so you and Zora need to pay them a visit and apologize.”

“In the recent years, the Salt family’s company has been performing well, and they have a partnership with our family. We must obtain Mrs. Salt’s forgiveness.”

Zora quickly agreed, “I understand, Grandfather.”

“Hmm, you two had a tough time during these ten days, not eating well and not sleeping well in there. Hurry up and take a bath and rest. Tonight, I’ll have the chef cook you something delicious,” Cory said gently, but his eyes were filled with coldness. “And as for Xaviera Evans harming you and causing your detention without considering family ties, I will settle this with her sooner or later!”

Just mentioning Xaviera made Cory’s anger rise rapidly.

Ten days ago, when Cory learned of Nidya and Zora’s detention, he immediately called Xaviera. Despite exhausting his patience and trying both threats and bribes, Xaviera remained unmoved. He could only try to go to the Lowen Clubhouse, but Xaviera refused to entertain him there.

From the moment they were arrested until today, he hadn’t seen Xaviera at all. She was clearly hiding from him on purpose!

Cory’s anger boiled over and Zora quickly spoke in a soft voice to comfort him, “Grandfather, don’t be angry with Xaviera anymore. It was also our fault; we shouldn’t have misunderstood her. She felt wronged, so she insisted on punishing us. I understand her, so let’s just forget about it.”

Nidya angrily said, “Zora, at this point, you’re still speaking on her behalf!”

Zora sighed helplessly, “Aunt, I understand Xaviera’s feelings of imbalance. If she hadn’t ended up living outside, she would’ve been the pampered daughter of the Hughes and Russell families. She has also suffered a lot over these twenty years, so I won’t hold a grudge against her, no matter what she does, since she’s your biological daughter after all!”

“I don’t consider her my daughter. Only a white-eyed wolf like her could send her own mother into detention!” Nidya’s face twisted in rage as she yelled.

Seeing Zora’s lack of resentment and her continuous defense of Xaviera, Cory couldn’t help but feel heartache. “Zora, you’re just too kind-hearted, which is why Xaviera bullies you. If it weren’t for our protection, she’d have bullied you even more!”

The group chatted for a while, then Nidya and Zora went upstairs to take a bath. They immediately called Mrs. Salt and Miss Salt, trying to arrange a meeting with the mother and daughter. They knew Mrs. Salt and Miss Salt must be unhappy about being rejected before, so there was a high probability they would be rejected too. However, to their surprise, Mrs. Salt agreed right away.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Nidya noticed that Mrs. Salt had invited some noble daughters and noblewomen from the upper class of Libanan. To invite all these people for dinner, Mrs. Salt had specially booked a small banquet hall at the Fragrant House. After everyone was seated, their phones rang simultaneously.

Looking at each other, Zora and Nidya saw that everyone was holding their phones, giggling, and covering their mouths as if they had seen something hilarious.

Just as Zora was about to step forward to join the fun, Mrs. Salt spoke with a beaming smile, “I suppose you have all heard about the big event that has happened recently in Libanan!”

With that, Mrs. Salt’s eyes fell on Nidya Hughes, and Nidya replied hesitantly, “I’ve been a little busy lately, and I haven’t heard about anything. What is it?”

Mrs. Salt and the other noblewomen exchanged glances before replying meaningfully, “This event has already spread widely. I find it extremely funny! So today, as all the sisters are here, I thought I’d share it with everyone.”

Before Nidya could respond, Miss Salt chimed in, “Yeah! This event is indeed funny, and I just happened to hear about it.”

There was no curiosity in the eyes of the crowd, as if they all already knew what Mrs. Salt was going to say next. Only Nidya and Zora were in the dark, looking utterly confused.
