Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: The Hughes Family Collapses Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: The Hughes Family Collapses Xaviera Evans showed a calm expression, not nervous at all.
At this moment, Zora Hughes came out and softly comforted, “Grandfather, don’t be angry. Maybe there is a misunderstanding about Xaviera. Even if the porcelain carving is fake, that doesn’t mean Xaviera sold the real one. It’s possible that Mr. Heninger made the wrong decision.”
After hearing these words, Cory Hughes was even more unable to suppress his anger, “Zora! You’re the only one defending Xaviera now! How could Mr. Heninger be wrong? He personally gave her the porcelain carving, and she sold it right away, trying to deceive us with a fake! She has no shame, completely disgracing our Hughes family!”
Zora’s eyes were full of pride, but her voice was choked with emotion, “Grandfather, Xaviera wouldn’t do that, she wouldn’t…”
“Xaviera! We should have never trusted you! We thought you would value the design sketch related to Miss Nina, but to collect money, you sold off the porcelain carving Mr. Heninger gifted! Do you even care about the Hughes family anymore? You’ve gone too far!”
The voices of the angry Hughes family members echoed continuously, and everyone stood up, glaring at her.
Everyone happily gathered today to witness the partnership token between the Heninger and Hughes families, which was a great honor for the Hughes family. However, now everyone has lost face because of Xaviera, who left them unable to raise their heads.
Anxious, the assistant beside Jonas Hughes urgently said, “After all, Miss Evans is young and may not understand how important this collaboration is for the Hughes family. Moreover, this is her first time handling such a massive project, so succumbing to the temptation of money might be inevitable. However, if Miss Hughes were in charge, such a low-level mistake would never happen. She would never put money over her family’s reputation and face!”
His meaning was clear: he wanted everyone to know that Zora was the most suitable person in charge, and Xaviera, an outsider who fell from grace, was not capable of handling such a big project.
Moreover, Xaviera was just an outsider. She wouldn’t care about the reputation and face of the Hughes family.
Cory Hughes’ eyes were bloodshot, almost consumed by anger. Regardless of everyone’s gazes, he roared, “Xaviera! Where is the porcelain carving?”
If she could produce the porcelain carving now, there might still be a chance to salvage things. If the Heninger Family realizes that she sold the porcelain carving and replaced it with a fake, could the partnership with the Hughes family proceed?
At this moment, Cory Hughes didn’t have high hopes, he only wanted Xaviera to hand over the intact porcelain carving. Otherwise, not only would the Hughes family lose face, but they would also offend the Heninger family. He even wondered if Xaviera did all this on purpose to embarrass the Hughes family in revenge?
Xaviera folded her arms across her chest, looking as if she were enjoying the show, seemingly indifferent to everything.
Perhaps Cory Hughes was about to collapse at this moment, but she had never thought about sabotaging this collaboration. After all, those design sketches were her mother’s work, and it was good for both her and Cory Hughes to bring her mother’s work back to life through the Heninger family. She had no intention of sabotaging the collaboration to seek revenge against the Hughes family, but someone else was trying to use the collaboration to get back at her!
She had seen through Zora’s plan all along. All she did was give Zora the opportunity to execute her plan–only to watch the anxious and helpless expressions on the faces of the Hughes family members. However, she wouldn’t be the one to take the blame.
So the person who caused the disgrace of the Hughes family wasn’t her, but Zora who had the best-laid plans that ended up hurting her own family!
The smile on Xaviera’s face grew thicker, she glanced at everyone, straightened her back, and coldly replied, “Mr. Hughes, this is the genuine item.”
Silence enveloped the surroundings, everyone was shocked, looking at her. Some had already exposed her, yet she still refused to let go. What kind of person was she?
Cory Hughes’ face turned red and green, trembling with anger. He didn’t expect Xaviera to be so shameless, not admitting her wrongdoing even now. Did she think everyone else was blind?
He heard mocking laughter around him, buzzing in his ears. Trembling with fury, he pointed at Xaviera and roared, “Have you no shame?! How did Nina raise such a scoundrel like you! You dare to act but not admit? People have exposed you, what are you still pretending for?! Xaviera! I advise you to confess, find the item, or bear the consequences!”
“Originally today was a happy occasion for the grand opening ceremony. I didn’t ask you to do anything else, just show everyone the porcelain carving. But you destroyed the Hughes family’s ceremony for money. You traitorous daughter, get out of the Hughes family!”
Eeveryone looked at her with disgust, and the noblewomen pointed and whispered about Nidya Hughes, “Nidya Hughes is Xaviera’s biological mother, right? How could she have such a daughter!”
