Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1278 - Chapter 1278 Chapter 1278 She Will Never Get a Chance to Turn

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: She Will Never Get a Chance to Turn the Tables Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: She Will Never Get a Chance to Turn the Tables For the Hughes family, the pearl crown was already precious enough. But upon seeing the token, Cory Hughes felt as if he was hit heavily by a pie falling from the sky, leaving his mind dazed.

Something was off! Why would the Heninger family send such a valuable gift to Nidya Hughes for no reason?

However, Mr. Heninger didn’t give Nidya a chance to refuse. He smiled and said directly, “Mrs. Heninger said that Mrs. Nina Hughes only has you as her sister, so she won’t treat you unfairly. Even though Mrs. Nina Hughes has passed away, you are still the Heningers’ honored guest.”

Nidya’s hands trembled, and she dared not accept the gift. What consequences would there be if she received the Heninger family’s gift in her confusion? Could she bear the wrath of the Heninger family?

Cory also felt that something was off, but they had no reason to refuse the Heninger family’s gift. The Hughes Group could not afford to offend the Heningers anymore.

In the eyes of others, the Heninger family’s willingness to give Nidya a gift was her honor. And she was borrowing Nina’s light anyway. Moreover, the gift was prepared many years ago, and the Hughes family didn’t need to bear any burdens. If Nidya didn’t dare to accept it, that would be even more suspicious.

Cory suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. This was a gamble. He clenched his fists tightly and glanced at Nidya.

At this moment, Nidya’s face was pale, and fear from the bottom of her heart was spreading rapidly throughout her body. She comforted herself over and over, as she was Nidya, and she was qualified to accept these gifts. But why was she nervous?

Nidya’s heart was pounding violently, and she inexplicably began to panic. The overwhelming fear was almost about to engulf her.

“Nidya,” just when everyone was puzzled, Cory suddenly spoke, “The Head of the Heninger family has given such a valuable gift, so you’d better thank him and Mr. Heninger quickly.”

Nidya was dazed, her face pale, and the sweat on her forehead dripping down her cheeks. She couldn’t understand why she was so panicked, but she couldn’t control herself.

“I’m glad Mrs. Hughes likes it,” Mr. Heninger said.

Nobody asked for Nidya’s opinion, and she was forced to accept this generous gift. Mr. Heninger waved his hand and ordered, “Have someone send the gift to Mrs. Hughes’ home.”

With these two valuable gifts, Nidya’s status also differed; if there were no accidents, Nidya would become an honored guest of Black Island, enjoying infinite glory. But…

Cory’s back was soaked in sweat, his eyes full of worry.

“Mr. Hughes, I have one more request,” Mr. Heninger suddenly spoke.

Xaviera Evans, who had been in the corner all the time, lazily opened her eyes and hooked the corner of her mouth with a cold smirk.

Cory’s heart trembled, and then Mr. Heninger went straight to the point, “The Head of the Heninger family learned of Mrs. Nina Hughes’ death and was very sad, regretting that he couldn’t see her for the last time. Now that he has met Mrs. Nidya Hughes, I think he would be very happy to meet the sister of Mrs. Nina Hughes. So, may I request that Mrs. Hughes meet our family head?”

Mr. Heninger’s tone was very sincere, and no one found it strange. They even thought it was reasonable. After all, the head of the Heninger family gave Nidya such a valuable gift, and if he had no other requests than just wanting to meet her to ease his sadness over his old friend’s passing, it would make sense.

In the eyes of everyone, Nidya certainly wouldn’t refuse. Being able to meet the Head of the Heninger family was something many people couldn’t even ask for, and Nidya had already taken their gift, which left her with no reason to refuse this request.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Hughes family remained silent, seemingly troubled.

Cory was panicking; no, absolutely not! Although he didn’t know who the person going to Black Island was, he was sure it wasn’t Nidya. If she went to see the Head of the Heninger family, then…

Nidya’s head was bowed, and cold sweat covered her. She knew she had fallen into a trap, and this time she might be ruined and have nowhere to turn.

Suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in Nidya’s mind, and she fiercely raised her eyes, looking at Xaviera maliciously.

She finally understood; everything was planned by Xaviera. From the moment Mr. Heninger appeared, they had been luring her step by step into a trap. Xaviera wanted to slander her by claiming that she was not Nidya and to completely destroy her!

Nidya glared viciously at Xaviera, her pale lips shaking violently, “Xaviera! I’m your own mother! Why are you doing this to me?”

Xaviera blinked innocently, looking wronged before speaking, “Mrs. Hughes, what are you talking about? What did I do to you? Mr. Heninger is waiting for your reply, and yet you come to bother me. Are you trying to say you don’t want to see the Head of the Heninger family, so you’re deliberately changing the subject?”
