Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1253 - Chapter 1253 Chapter 1253 This Position Belongs to Me

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: This Position Belongs to Me Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: This Position Belongs to Me Although people were not interested in cultural relics restoration, they had acquired some knowledge about it beforehand because they were going to cooperate with the Heninger Family. Six years ago, a damaged scroll that professors had been unable to restore was eventually restored by a girl who called herself “Doctor Faces.” Moreover, she used a unique method that left no trace of restoration, which caused quite a stir in the field at that time.

However, they had never expected that the girl would turn out to be Zora Hughes.

Zora chuckled modestly, “I’m not as good as my predecessors claim. It might just be luck, and I’ll have to work harder in the future. I lack work experience and capability, so I hope you all could help me. The company will be relying on all of you in the future.”

Her words were very gracious. She didn’t admit outright that she was Doctor Faces, but the implications were clear. The others assumed that she was just being modest, and even with such impressive accomplishments, she still humbly relied on her predecessors. Her words made everyone feel flattered, and they started to respect the Hughes family’s daughter more.

Before, they didn’t want Zora to join the company because she was a daughter of an illegitimate child. However, her words changed their minds and caused them to waver.

Although Zora was Jonas Hughes’ daughter, she was far more talented than him. Jonas was foolish and incompetent, while Zora was Doctor Faces who could not only manage the company but also lead the collaboration between the Hughes and Heninger families. How different the heir that Cory Hughes had lovingly raised was!

The executives smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, someone asked, “Mr. Hughes, we naturally agree with Miss Zora becoming the assistant project leader. But what if Miss Evans doesn’t agree…?”

Cory Hughes responded smugly, “This is the Hughes family’s cooperation project. Even if Xaviera is the person in charge, we cannot let her temper ruin it. Besides, Zora has restoration skills that can help her with her work. Xaviera has no reason to disagree!”

Seeing that Cory had already made up his mind, everyone chimed in with agreement, “Mr. Hughes is right!”

“Miss Evans may be the person in charge designated by the Heninger family, but she’s just not as outstanding as Miss Zora. Plus, the Hughes Group can’t just leave the company’s fate in the hands of a young girl!”

“Miss Zora, please help us with the cooperation with the Heninger family. We believe in your ability to bring this project to success!”

Zora’s lips curled into a shy smile, “I’ll do my best, but when Xaviera arrives later, please don’t talk about this in front of her. I’m afraid she won’t be happy as she’s the person in charge, and we should listen to her opinions.”

One of the senior executives, who knew Cory disliked Xaviera Evans, sneered upon hearing this, “Why should we listen to her? We informed her about the meeting yesterday, and she still hasn’t arrived or even called. She is so irresponsible, how can we trust her with this cooperation?”

“Yes! She seems unreliable, but fortunately, we have Miss Zora. Xaviera Evans is merely benefiting from Caleb Mamet’s power and has secured this position. How could she…?”

“What’s wrong with relying on my own husband? Perhaps this gentleman is just jealous because no one relies on him?” A cold female voice interrupted the executive.

The room fell silent, and the executive swallowed his words, his face turning green. He stared at Xaviera Evans in both shock and fear.

Xaviera stood at the door, wearing a simple outfit yet exuding a powerful aura. Her tone was cold, “If you don’t want me as the person in charge, I’ll go talk to Mr. Heninger and get someone else.”

The people from the Hughes family hesitated, feeling discontent but not daring to chastise Xaviera openly. She was the person in charge designated by Quine Heninger. If she went to Quine about replacing the project leader, Quine would certainly not agree, and the cooperation might be canceled.

“If none of you oppose, I’ll remain as the person in charge.” Xaviera pointed to a spot in the middle, “Then this seat should belong to me.”

That seat was where Zora was currently seated. Upon entering, she had taken the seat effortlessly, and no one had found it inappropriate. Now Xaviera asked Zora to give up the seat, which annoyed the executives. One of them said discontentedly, “Miss Evans, there are vacant seats next to it. Why do you have to take Miss Hughes’ seat?”

“If that’s the case, I’ll go talk to Mr. Heninger right now.” Xaviera’s tone was calm, but her words stirred panic in the others.
