Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1285 - Chapter 1285 Chapter 1285 Charity Dinner

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Charity Dinner Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Charity Dinner “The Hughes family is already on the brink of collapse. What’s the point of keeping an heir? We’ve offended the Heninger family. With their strong influence over us, who will continue to do business with the Hughes? Zora Hughes, you’re selfish and only think of yourself! Without the Hughes family, what do you amount to?” Cory Hughes shouted furiously at Zora.

Standing aside, Sebastian Legend still couldn’t accept what happened and muttered quietly, “This isn’t Zora’s fault. It’s all Xaviera Evans’s fault.”

Cory’s words suddenly got caught in his throat, nearly choking him. The family business that he had worked so hard for his entire life was now destroyed. The Hughes family’s reputation was ruined, and they were despised by others. All because of three stupid women: Zora Hughes, Nidya Hughes, and Sebastiane.

A taste of blood welled up in his throat, his chest felt constricted, his vision blacked out, and he passed out.

Meanwhile, Xaviera Evans had left New City Mall and saw a tall man standing not far ahead. Elijah Flack had already removed his disguise and was chatting with fans who quickly recognized him. He smiled warmly, signing autographs for each eager fan.

Many of the fans were seeing Elijah Flack in person for the first time and were beyond excited. “Are you here for some kind of variety show?” they asked.

Elijah laughed and replied, “Just a small event, not a TV show.”

Stunned, the fans inquired, “Are you attending the grand opening of New City Mall?”

Xaviera hid in a corner, listening to Elijah play dumb. “New City Mall? I’ve never heard of it. I’m here for a private gathering. Please don’t mention that you saw me here.”

His tone was sincere and gentle, and the fans eagerly nodded in agreement. No one suspected that the seemingly mild-mannered best actor winner had just pretended to be from the Heninger family at New City Mall!

The fans bid their excited farewells to Elijah. He turned to his agent and whispered, “It’s almost time for that gathering. Let’s go.”

His agent looked at Elijah with admiration and thought, “No wonder he’s the best actor winner. His acting is so natural.”

Elijah gave a faint smile and caught sight of Xaviera. He quickly walked over to her and quietly asked, “So, did I do a good job? Are you satisfied?”

Xaviera nodded.

Elijah looked in the direction of New City Mall and asked, “How did you get out so quickly? I thought Cory would try to hold you accountable for what happened.”

Xaviera casually responded, “They’re too busy panicking to deal with me right now! When I left, I heard that Mr. Hughes had fainted. The Hughes family must be in total chaos now.”

Elijah’s smile grew even broader.

…

Lowen Clubhouse.

Upon returning home, Xaviera checked her phone and saw that the news about New City Mall had already spread online. The Hughes family was now in shambles, and with the Heninger Family against them, their future was in jeopardy.

Netizens came forward to denounce the Hughes family’s crimes, and some competitors even resorted to online slander. Cory, even if he hadn’t fainted, would be helpless in the face of everyone pushing him against the wall.

And now, with Cory unconscious and no backbone to lead the family, the Hughes were already falling apart.

The next day.

Xaviera was resting at home when Steve Price and a servant brought several gowns before her. “Madam, the Reiser family is hosting a charity dinner tonight and has invited you and the CEO. These are the gowns we’ve prepared for you.”

She put down her book, looked up slightly, and randomly pointed at a relatively plain gown, furrowing her brow. “Why is Wayne Reiser suddenly hosting a charity dinner?”

“Actually, Wayne Reiser hosts a charity dinner almost every year. It’s an annual event, but the date is never fixed. Many prominent figures in Libanan are invited.”

Xaviera sneered, “So, the Reiser family was just a mid-tier wealthy family back when they were in Libanan. After all these years, what gives them the right to invite so many people to a charity dinner?”

Steve Price smirked and said, “It’s because of Wayne Reiser’s good reputation. Nowadays, his popularity and good word of mouth in Libanan are exceptional! Although the Reiser family’s business is not as prosperous as it used to be, Wayne Reiser donates at least one hundred million dollars every year. That’s no small sum for the Reiser family.”

Xaviera thoughtfully said, “Could it be possible that he just wants a good reputation, so… ”

Steve Price interrupted in a subtle tone, “It’s not that simple. Do you really think they would donate such a huge amount? How would the Reiser family have money to spend? In reality, that money has never left the Reiser family.”
