Chapter 1280 - Chapter 1280 Chapter 1280 You Are Not the Real Nidya Hughes

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: You Are Not the Real Nidya Hughes Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: You Are Not the Real Nidya Hughes Cory had to take a gamble, betting that the head of the Heninger family would not notice. The Hughes family was now as vulnerable as fish on a cutting board. If they rejected the Heningers, it would be the same as completely offending them. Therefore, they had to answer the call. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain themselves to the Heningers, nor would they be able to explain to others. After all, anyone who thought carefully could understand the hidden secrets behind it.

He took the call, and the authoritative voice of the Heninger family head came from the other end: “Mr. Hughes.”

Everyone pricked up their ears, whispering to each other, “Yes! That’s definitely the head of the Heninger family!”

“That’s right, I attended a banquet before, and the head of the Heninger family spoke from behind a screen, his voice sounds exactly the same!”

Cory’s voice trembled slightly, “Mr… Mr. Heninger.”

Having said that, he put the phone in front of Nidya, intending for her to greet the Heninger family head briefly and then quickly end the call.

But before Nidya could speak, the authoritative voice of the Heninger family head came again: “Where is Nidya?”

The crowd was startled, looking utterly baffled.

Wasn’t Nidya right in front of the phone’s camera? Since the Heninger family head could see Cory, he naturally could see Nidya too! Obviously, he had seen her, so why did he still ask about Nidya?

Nidya’s face turned pale, her teeth clenched tightly.

The entire scene went silent, with everyone looking at Cory and Nidya in amazement.

Cory felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, struggling to breathe. He stuttered: “Mr. Heninger, Nidya is right in front of you.”

Mr. Heninger was over fifty and technically younger than Cory, but in his presence, Cory had to be extremely humble, afraid of provoking him.

A bloody taste surged in Cory’s throat, but he still had to stay calm, squeezing out a smile, “This is my daughter, Nidya Hughes.”

Regardless of the similarity in their faces, after twenty-four years of baptism, no one could distinguish any subtle differences between them. Thinking of this, Cory’s heart gradually calmed down.

Just when everyone thought that Mr. Heninger hadn’t seen her clearly, a cold voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, “Is she Nidya Hughes?”

The voice was full of coldness, with a trace of anger. The innate authority terrified Cory, making his whole body tremble, almost fainting on the spot.

The people from the Hughes family were like frightened birds. Sebastian Legend’s legs went weak, and he was supported by Jonas Hughes, while the most frightened was naturally Nidya, who stood there shivering.

At this moment, Nidya’s mind conjured an image of a woman who looked exactly like her, but not quite the same. The woman had a gentle smile, a smile that Nidya had never had before.

No! Impossible! She was Nidya Hughes, the daughter of the Hughes family!

She kept soothing her crumbling psyche, but Mr. Heninger’s gloomy voice came through again: “Mr. Hughes, do you think my memory is not good? Did I not recognize a former friend after twenty-four years?”

The voice sounded calm and indifferent, but every word was icy cold, making Cory’s scalp tingle.

The whole scene went silent, everyone held their breath. They were now confused, wondering what on earth was going on.

After a few seconds of silence, it seemed that Mr. Heninger had suddenly realized something, and his piercing gaze fell on Nidya, “You are not the real Nidya Hughes?”

Everyone gasped. So, what Mr. Heninger meant just now was that the woman in front of them was not the Nidya Hughes from twenty-four years ago. He thought that the Hughes family was trying to deceive him.

With just a glance, Mr. Heninger was sure that she was not Nidya Hughes. But she had been living in the Hughes family for so long, if she wasn’t Nidya, how could the Hughes family not have noticed?

Nidya felt as if she had plunged into an ice cave, her back drenched in cold sweat. She yelled weakly, “I am Nidya Hughes! I always have been!”

The cold voice from the Heninger family head came through again: “Nidya and Nina took many pictures in Black Island, which are still hanging in my wife’s room. Moreover, many people on Black Island remember Nidya’s appearance. Mr. Hughes, are you sure you still want to deceive me?”

At that moment, the Heninger family member next to him explained, “I was too young twenty-four years ago, so I never met Mrs. Hughes, but the elders on Black Island knew her. Our family head will not forget his old friends, so it can only mean that the person who went to Black Island with Nina wasn’t the current Nidya Hughes!”

The last sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread. The room went silent. What they thought would be a simple opening ceremony turned out to involve such a shocking revelation.
