Chapter 1237 - Chapter 1237 Chapter 1237 Its Not Xavieras Fault

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: It’s Not Xaviera’s Fault Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: It’s Not Xaviera’s Fault Everyone’s gaze was different. Now that Cory Hughes had given an explanation, the Hughes family would continue with the cooperation with the Heninger family. The Heninger family would not cooperate with a family good at plagiarism and lying. So, no matter what, the Hughes family would not admit that Jonas Hughes plagiarized Nina Hughes’ work.

Although Xaviera Evans had presented the evidence, the Hughes family had offered a reasonable explanation. They couldn’t make those who had passed away tell them the truth, and both sides held their own views. It would eventually come down to who would be defeated first.

Xaviera’s eyes were cold, seemingly having not been this angry for a long time.

Jonas pretended to be magnanimous: “It’s not Xaviera’s fault. She wasn’t born yet and didn’t know the truth. I didn’t care before. If Nina was still alive, she would naturally represent the Hughes family in the cooperation with the Heninger family. Unfortunately, she is gone. Xaviera, I hope you can understand our pain. We didn’t want Nina to be slandered. We had no choice but to tell the truth.”

Zora Hughes’ eyes were slightly red, feeling heartbroken: “Dad! Why didn’t you tell me? I almost misunderstood you!”

Jonas gently patted her back, looking at her lovingly: “Zora, I didn’t want to tell you because I was afraid you’d be too impulsive and try to fight for me like Xaviera. But Nina was my sister, and I wouldn’t ruin her reputation for my own benefit. Sadly, the truth still came out. Now that everything has been explained, I hope everyone can let go of their resentment, after all, those who passed away are long gone, and everything is in the past.”

Everyone praised him appeasingly: “Mr. Hughes is really magnanimous! It’s really rare!”

“After all, they are all family! Miss Evans didn’t know the truth, and she was just trying to defend her mother. It was just a misunderstanding; no one is at fault!”

“Although Nina was the legitimate daughter, it’s too much for her to steal someone else’s work. She took the glory that should have belonged to Mr. Hughes. It’s been hard for Mr. Hughes these years. Thankfully, the truth has finally come to light.”

“Mr. Chairman Hughes, since Nina passed away, you should have told the truth. Otherwise, Miss Evans wouldn’t have misunderstood Mr. Hughes. Miss Evans is younger; it’s only right for her to apologize for misunderstanding her elder!”

Businessmen close to the Hughes family chimed in: “Yes! Miss Evans, it’s not your fault, but you made a scene in the reception hall, severely affecting Mr. Hughes’ reputation. You should apologize to him. Mr. Hughes is so magnanimous, and he won’t blame you.”

Xaviera hooked up a cold smile, and the chill in her eyes became even thicker.

Sebastian Legend tugged on Cory Hughes’ clothes, looking at him with grievance. Cory cleared his throat: “Xaviera, I know you and Nina had deep affection for each other. Nina was also my most cherished child. I’m glad you have this heart, but you were too impulsive today and misunderstood Jonas. No matter how you look at it, he’s your elder. As a child of the Hughes family, you should apologize when you make mistakes and keep improving.”

The heated gazes of everyone fell on Xaviera. They thought it was not too much to ask her to apologize, especially since today was an important day for the cooperation between the Hughes and Heninger families. Her choice of this day to cause trouble clearly showed disrespect to the Hughes family, and she should apologize to her elder.

However…

The scene was silent, and after a long time, Xaviera did not speak. Jonas’ face gradually darkened.

Even if he was an illegitimate son, according to seniority, he was still Xaviera’s uncle. Why would she disdain him?

Zora bit her lip, cursing in her heart while her face showed a fake, gentle smile, “Xaviera, it’s just an apology. As long as you say it, father and grandfather will forgive you. We are all family, and no one will make things difficult for you. Sticking to this stance doesn’t benefit you at all.”

Xaviera gave her a dull glance and a deeply meaningful smile appeared in her eyes, causing the surrounding air to become cold.

Cory’s tone gradually became impatient: “Xaviera, it’s not your fault, but you’ve slandered your uncle without knowing the whole story. Is it wrong for you to apologize?”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Xaviera. Some of them knew who she was and thought she could be so unyielding because she had Caleb Mamet’s support. Those who didn’t know her identity were in awe of this bold woman who dared to disregard the Hughes family so openly.
