Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1201 - Chapter 1201 Chapter 1201 Public Execution

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Public Execution Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Public Execution Nidya Hughes was the first to recover her composure, feigning calmness in her response: “Mrs. Salt, Miss Salt, I’m really sorry that we couldn’t attend Miss Salt’s birthday banquet. Zora and I had been to Holy City recently, and we didn’t have time to make it back. My father declined a few banquets on our behalf, so we planned to invite you two as an apology as soon as we returned!”

“Mrs. Salt, what you mentioned earlier really has nothing to do with us. We have not been in Libanan these past few days, so how could we possibly frame your daughter? As for being detained, that’s pure nonsense. I hope everyone won’t recklessly speculate!”

Nidya Hughes spoke with a serious tone, but her eyes lacked confidence, and her breathing was slightly shaky. However, she had to deny the accusations and warn everyone against wild guessing.

The noblewomen and their daughters looked at them contemptuously. If they were in the dark, they might actually believe Nidya’s words.

Seeing that no one was refuting her, Nidya’s face softened a bit, thinking that everyone believed her. She hadn’t expected Xaviera Evans to not only get them thrown into detention but also to spread the news. Fortunately, everyone had only heard about the incident and didn’t know that they were the ones detained.

Zora Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes wearily, downed her glass of lemon water, and wiped her sweat with a tissue before finally recovering.

However, just when the two of them thought they were safe, Mrs. Salt suddenly sneered, scaring Nidya into a shudder. Frowning displeasedly and not waiting for Nidya to say anything, Mrs. Salt slammed her hand onto the table and shouted, “Nidya Hughes! Do you think we would believe you just because you blabbered a few words? The fact that you and Zora have framed Mrs. Mamet has already spread. I didn’t expose you just now only because I wanted to see your panicked defense!”

The banquet hall fell silent. Nidya’s pupils suddenly constricted in terror, staring at everyone. They already knew?

Zora’s heart, which had just relaxed, was suddenly dealt another blow as her face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably, as if she would faint at any moment.

Mrs. Salt was not someone to be trifled with, and she would not let them off easily. “The reason I invited you here today is not to dine with you, but to teach a lesson to you two wicked women!”

“Zora Hughes! Don’t forget, your grandmother was a mistress who climbed to the top, and your father is an illegitimate child. With such an ignoble identity, you should be more low-key. If you were kind and humble, no one would trouble you. Now that Nidya Hughes has found her real daughter, you fear for your own position, so you frame Mrs. Mamet, using a 1 million dollars bracelet as a bet, hoping to discredit her and have her jailed. That way, you will remain the superior Hughes family’s Daughter forever, with no threats. I have to say, this move is ruthless!”

Zora felt like she was being publicly executed, and the gazes of everyone were like sharp knives stabbing into her trembling body.

After admonishing Zora, Mrs. Salt turned to Nidya, “You are just a fool. If Zora wants to use you to get rid of Mrs. Mamet, you are willing to be used. You went so far as to frame your own daughter for your niece, Nidya. You have no one to blame for your current situation but yourself!”

“Don’t blame Mrs. Mamet for being ruthless. It was you who severed ties as a mother and daughter first, calling the police on her and trying to send her to prison. Now, everything she’s done is actually showing mercy!”

Nidya Hughes was trembling all over, her sharp nails digging into her palms. From the very beginning, she never intended to send Xaviera to prison. She just thought she had stolen something and merely wanted to teach her a lesson. As long as she returned the bracelet and apologized to Zora, she would drop the charges.

Even if she hated Xaviera, she wouldn’t put her in jail. After all, it would only embarrass herself as well!

Mrs. Salt looked at them with disgust in her eyes, then waved her hand impatiently, “Someone! Kick them out! Their presence makes the air here feel less fresh, and we sisters gathered together to relax. With them around, we have to be on guard against being framed all the time.”

“Yes! Get them out of here quickly. Just looking at them makes me lose my appetite!”

Thus, Nidya Hughes and Zora Hughes were kicked out. By the time they came to their senses, they were already outside the hotel’s main entrance, shivering in the cold wind.

Now everyone in the upper class of Libanan knew about their detention. What would happen to them in the future?

“Ahh!! Why did she spread the news about this? I’m her biological mother!!” Nidya Hughes cried out angrily, tears filling her eyes.
