Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: This is How the Reiser Family Treats Guests Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: This is How the Reiser Family Treats Guests Fiona Reiser’s face turned as pale as paper, her fists balled tightly. Drawing in a deep breath, she realized the truth was now apparent to all. If she continued to argue, she would only make a laughingstock of herself and invite the dislike of the assembled crowd.

She knitted her brows, and spoke reluctantly, “Mr. Jones, I apologize. I honestly did not think that this necklace would be a counterfeit. After all, when my father purchased it, he spent 150 million dollars on it. He probably was swindled due to his lack of knowledge about jewels.”

The crowd empathized and agreed, “Yes, with today’s advanced techniques in jewelry imitation, it’s hard for ordinary people to discern the real from the fake. Mr. Reiser only wished to present Miss Reiser with a piece of valuable jewelry, he did not foresee this unfortunate incident.”

“This matter should not be blamed on Miss Reiser, she was oblivious to the truth!”

Fiona, looking somewhat weary, spoke up, “Mr. Jones, I am truly sorry for the disruption caused by this counterfeit at the charity banquet. As it’s getting late and the banquet is set to begin, let’s quickly head to the main hall.”

“Miss Reiser.” Just as Fiona tried to swiftly dispel the topic, Xaviera Evans interrupted. At the sound of her name, Fiona stiffened instantly and slowly turned around.

Xaviera’s tone was teasing, “Miss Reiser, so your necklace is actually the fake one! But it’s okay. If you do like this necklace, I can lend you mine for the time being. You surely mustn’t feel obliged!”

At her words, Fiona’s face turned from pale to flushed, clearly, Xaviera was imitating her tone.

This was the Reiser family’s charity banquet, was Xaviera trying to incite conflict with the Reiser family?

Fiona forcefully suppressed the anger rising in her heart, but remained silent. On one side, Rae frowned and indignantly scolded, “Miss Evans, why would you say such things! Fiona did not do this on purpose. Is it necessary for you to be so unyieldingly harsh and persistent?”

No sooner had Rae finished than Xaviera widened her eyes in innocence and blinked, “Oh, is this what you mean by unyielding and persistent? But these were Miss Reiser’s words in the first place! I thought that this was a way to convey goodwill, that’s why I mimicked her. Did this actually mean I was being unrelenting?!”

The veins in Fiona’s forehead throbbed visibly.

Rae choked on her retort and pointed at Xaviera shouting, “You dare to imitate Miss Reiser? Certain things she can say, but you can’t! Are you worthy?”

“Why should I be unworthy? Both Miss Reiser and I are wearing the same necklace, yet you determined that mine was fake. Now that Mr. Jones has proved mine to be the real one, you’re saying I’m not worthy. So regardless of who possesses the real necklace and who the fake one, Miss Reiser always remains perfect and noble in your eyes, while I’m still the foster daughter with a counterfeit? If so, then what’s the point in verifying the authenticity of the necklace?”

Xaviera stated flatly, but it evidently displeased Fiona.

Rae’s face turned cherry red from anger, “As we’ve already said, Miss Reiser didn’t do this on purpose. She is the daughter of the Reiser family and there’s no need for her to wear a counterfeit to a banquet. This unfortunate event was merely a misunderstanding. Actually, all this is your fault. If it wasn’t for you flaunting “Combustion Heart” publicly, Fiona wouldn’t have been humiliated in public!”

Xaviera burst into laughter at this, ” So me wearing a necklace openly is flaunting, while Miss. Riser doing the same is considered noble. Her necklace being identified as a fake is my fault, and I didn’t give Miss Reiser ‘face,’ showing disrespect to the Reiser family, right? I really learned something today. So, this is how the famous Reiser family’s daughter treats her guests!”

“Just now, Miss Reiser was convinced that my necklace was fake. Now that she has made a fool of herself, I haven’t even settled my score with you yet, and you’re blaming me?”

Fiona originally planned to downplay the matter, and if necessary, she was willing to apologize to Xaviera to swiftly resolve the situation so as not to delay the banquet.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to utter the words. She refused to accept the fact that she should apologize to Xaviera.

Why should Xaviera be the one to possess the genuine Combustion Heart? Wasn’t it all because of Caleb Mamet? Who else but Caleb would gift such an expensive necklace to her? Why would Caleb give Combustion Heart to that wretched woman? That necklace was supposed to be hers!

Fiona lowered her head, her quiet demeanor made it seem as if she had been greatly wronged. Feeling uncomfortable, a young man present scolded, “Miss Evans, this incident is also not Miss Reiser’s fault. She originally intended to donate the necklace. She is just as upset to learn it is fake. You seem to be pushing the blame unfairly. After all, you have not suffered any loss, can we just leave it at that?”

“Exactly!” Someone else piped up in support, “Miss Reiser is kind-hearted and definitely didn’t do this on purpose. It’s just a misunderstanding. She has not yet donated it, so no harm has been done. Why do you keep accusing her with such sarcasm? Just because you possess the real one, doesn’t mean you can belittle others!”
