Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: To Unveil Her Identity Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: To Unveil Her Identity Nidya Hughes choked, subconsciously looking at Mr. Heninger, meeting his eyes containing a hint of laughter.

Mr. Heninger was still as gentle and elegant as ever, his voice soft, but he resembled a venomous snake that made one shiver, “Mrs. Hughes, are you going to refuse me? What are you afraid of?”

His words pierced Nidya Hughes’ heart like a sharp knife.

Everyone was curious, as Nidya Hughes had already accepted the gift, even if Mr. Heninger didn’t ask, she should have thanked the head of the Heninger family in person. Why was she refusing to see him?

Since she was afraid, it meant that there was a hidden reason; otherwise, there would be no reason to refuse!

People’s doubtful eyes fell on Nidya Hughes, who was in a panic. She couldn’t help but look at Cory Hughes, whose face was also somber. He had to pretend to be calm and explained with a smile, “Mr. Heninger, don’t be upset. Nidya has been sick recently and isn’t suitable for meeting guests, let alone going to Black Island overseas, which isn’t very convenient. She doesn’t mean to avoid meeting the head of the Heninger family.”

Mr. Heninger gave a faint smile: “What’s the inconvenience? Our Heninger family has a private jet, we could take Mrs. Hughes to Black Island to see the head of our family; if she can’t stay, she could return the same day.”

Cory’s face went dark, and he choked. If Nidya Hughes really went to meet the head of the Heninger family, then…

In fact, he didn’t need to be afraid; Nidya Hughes and that woman looked exactly the same, even if she really met the head of the Heninger family, she wouldn’t be discovered. Furthermore, it had been 24 years since they last met; it was only natural for someone’s appearance and personality to change by then.

With that in mind, Cory was about to speak when Mr. Heninger cut him off: “If Mrs. Hughes is indeed sick, she is indeed not suitable for going on a long journey.”

He paused and continued, “Coincidentally, the family head has time today; if Mrs. Hughes can’t go to Black Island, let’s have a video call with him directly. After all, it’s just a brief meeting. Seeing an old acquaintance through the phone is also acceptable.”

Everyone was stunned.

A video call? Why did it sound so bizarre?

Mr. Heninger nonchalantly said, “Considering that Mrs. Hughes is sick and it’s inconvenient for her to go to Black Island, making a phone call shouldn’t have any negative effects. The family head has just sent a message saying he also wants to see his old acquaintance. Mrs. Hughes, you surely won’t refuse this time, will you?”

Mr. Heninger stepped forward a few steps, lowering his voice in front of Nidya Hughes, “Mrs. Hughes, unfortunately, you don’t have the chance to refuse anymore. You can’t hide your identity.”

Nidya Hughes’ pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked up sharply. Mr. Heninger still looked gentle and elegant, his eyes filled with laughter as he gazed at her, as if he had never said those words.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, fear engulfing her. She may have doubted it earlier, but now she was certain that Mr. Heninger came here to expose her identity.

Why couldn’t she refuse? If she didn’t want to see him, who could force her?

“Mrs. Hughes, why are you not saying anything? Are you still going to refuse?” Mr. Heninger frowned, “I understand that it’s inconvenient for you to go to Black Island, but now we’re simply asking you to have a phone call with our family head. Is that too much?”

Nidya Hughes finally came to her senses, realizing that she indeed had no chance to refuse, as she had already refused earlier. If she couldn’t even satisfy such a simple request, she would completely offend the Heninger family and be scorned by everyone.

“Sir, we have already contacted the family head’s assistant.” The bodyguard walked up respectfully with his phone and handed it to Mr. Heninger.

The screen was pitch black, as the head of the Heninger family obviously wouldn’t show his face in front of everyone. The assistant’s voice came through the phone, “Sir, the family head just happens to be free now. Should I hand him the phone now?”

Mr. Heninger glanced at Nidya Hughes and responded, “Yes! Mrs. Hughes, come on.”

Nidya’s body stiffened, her facial expression strange, her steps unsteady. She was reluctant but could not help but approach, like a lifeless zombie.

She wanted to refuse, but didn’t dare to speak, only slowly moving forward.

Cory clenched his teeth and stepped forward to take the phone.

It was just a brief meeting through a phone call after all, and they hadn’t seen each other for 24 years. With identical faces, the head of the Heninger family wouldn’t notice anything wrong.

The Russell family had been suspicious about Nidya Hughes’ identity for years, but they were still helpless because they had no evidence. The head of the Heninger family had only met Nidya Hughes once before. What could he possibly find out?
