Chapter 1235 - Chapter 1235 Chapter 1235 The Illegitimate Childs Outrageous

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: The Illegitimate Child’s Outrageous Bullying Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: The Illegitimate Child’s Outrageous Bullying Xaviera spoke casually: “Miss Hughes, twenty-four years ago, you had probably just been born. Yet, you claim that these design sketches were drawn by your father when you were six or seven years old. At that time, my mother had already passed away, so she couldn’t possibly have signed your father’s designs.”

Everyone looked at Zora with shock, and the discussion grew louder. The words felt like boulders crushing Zora’s heart, making her whole body tremble with her blood seemingly frozen.

“The design sketches of Miss Nina were completed twenty-four years ago, and at that time there was even a notarized lawyer. However, Zora said that Jonas made them eighteen years ago, when she was six or seven years old. This means that these designs actually belong to Nina, but they have been taken over by Jonas!”

From the timeline, it was evident that Nina’s designs were made a few years earlier than Jonas’. After her death, it would have been impossible for anyone to falsify evidence.

But since these designs belonged to Nina, why were they now under Jonas’ name, being used for negotiations with the Heninger family?

If it was true that Jonas had taken Nina’s designs, the illegitimate child was being too overbearing. Did he think that since Miss Hughes had passed away, he could act without fear?

The disdain in everyone’s eyes and their whispers seemed to burn Zora to a crisp.

With her heart in turmoil, Zora nearly fainted under Xaviera’s questioning and the contemptuous glances of everyone. She could only lower her head, trying to minimize her presence.

“Miss Hughes, I have now proven that these designs were drawn by my mother twenty-four years ago. So, your earlier claim that these designs were made by your father eighteen years ago is false. Please give me a reasonable explanation!”

“I …” Zora opened her mouth, but didn’t know where to start. Her face was ashen, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. She bit her lip and forced herself to calm down.

Everyone watched her closely, waiting for her answer. The scene fell silent.

Xaviera broke the silence with a chuckle and a gentle voice: “Miss Hughes, don’t be nervous. You have plenty of time to think about how to explain it. I will wait for your answer.”

Zora’s legs grew weak, and she almost fell. Seeing the disdain in Xaviera’s eyes, she was on the verge of collapse. She never thought Xaviera would actually have evidence.

In light of these events, if she couldn’t explain herself, who should be credited for the designs when the people from the Heninger family arrived?

If she continued with her father’s name, Xaviera would certainly not let it go and might even make a scene at the Hughes Group. If she used Nina’s name, wouldn’t that be admitting her father stole Nina’s work?

Zora listened to the surrounding gossip, everyone laughing at her father for being illegitimate, morally corrupt, and stealing from his sister.

Her teeth chattered in rage. She thought that after so many years, no one would bring it up again. Now that she was Miss Hughes, adored by everyone, no one would dare offend her. But now she was publicly humiliated, her wounds exposed. Eyes filled with resentment, she wished she could strangle Xaviera to death.

Xaviera stepped closer and whispered softly, “Miss Hughes?”

Zora looked up, her eyes filled with panic as sweat soaked her clothes. After agonizing over her thoughts, she gritted her teeth, preparing to speak.

“It’s all a misunderstanding!” Suddenly, an authoritative, aged voice came. Cory and Madam Hughes walked over with gloomy faces, followed by a furious-looking Jonas.

Upon seeing Jonas, the reporters immediately swarmed, pointing microphones and cameras at them.

Cory stood in front of the reporters, not showing any nervousness and still smiling kindly: “Everyone, please calm down. I will explain this matter shortly. But for now, I want to deal with some family matters.”

“Xaviera, you know how Zora treats you. She’s been so accommodating, so why are you putting her in a difficult position in public? We can discuss this issue at home, but you insist on embarrassing everyone along with yourself. Do you really need to do this?”

One reporter asked, puzzled: “Mr. Hughes, it’s not fair to say Xaviera is being unreasonable. After all, she’s presented evidence that these designs are Miss Nina’s work, but Zora just said they belong to Jonas. This is not Xaviera’s fault!”
