Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: The Ant Shakes the Tree, Overestimating Its Own Strength Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: The Ant Shakes the Tree, Overestimating Its Own Strength The Hughes Villa.

In recent days, an oppressive gloom had pervaded the Hughes household. Cory Hughes had just woken up from several days of coma, and the company had already hit rock bottom. All investors had declared their withdrawal, the company’s capital chain had been interrupted, and there was a slump in product sales. The employees had all gone on strike. Overnight, all of Zora Hughes’ contracts had been terminated and she had to compensate for a considerable amount of penalty for breaking the terms. It seemed as if the entire Hughes family had given up on struggling.

Zora was sprawled on the couch, looking like a walking corpse.

“Hah! So this is the renowned Hughes family!”

A woman’s voice filled with scorn suddenly sounded from the doorway.

The members of the Hughes family immediately looked in its direction. Madam Hughes was already in a terrible mood, so she roared, “Who are you people? This is the Hughe’s estate, get out right now!”

A middle-aged woman stood outside the door, accompanied by over a dozen bodyguards and a man with a fat face and large ears.

The woman was elegantly dressed, her skin was delicate too. She was wearing a very expensive fur coat over a haute couture suit, adorned with a dazzling gemstone necklace and earrings, as well as a lace hat. Her outfit looked like fashion from Yittaland.

The woman looked around at everyone and asked, “Are you all related to Xaviera Evans?”

As soon as Cory Hughes heard Xaviera’s name, his face darkened in an instant.

The personal assistant beside the woman respectfully said, “Madam, this is Mrs. Lillian Hughes, who was Nidya Hughes a few days ago. There are rumors that she is Miss Xaviera Evans’ biological mother, but also others saying it’s fabricated, none of which have been confirmed yet.”

The woman snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain, “Ah, she’s the infamous fake!”

The assistant nodded, “Yes.”

Lillian’s face changed drastically, in an extremely shrill voice, she said, “What are you talking about! Who are you people? What are you doing in my house?”

The woman pointed at the chair beside her. The assistant immediately took a handkerchief and carefully wiped it clean. The woman then elegantly sat down and reprimanded, “Stop the shouting, you have no manners! Of course, I have something important to discuss.”

The assistant then helped the man with the fat face and large ears to sit next to the woman. He then whispered in the woman’s ear, “Madam, the Hughes family is barely surviving under Zach’s suppression right now, they will surely agree to your terms.”

A hint of triumph flashed in the woman’s eyes. With her white lace gloves, she held her hands together and smirked coldly, “Zach? I can’t believe that a lowly bastard who everyone looked down on not only managed to survive, but even make a name for himself. However, no matter how capable Zach is, he’s not our adversary. He’s like a small insect trying to shake a huge tree, delusions of grandeur indeed!”

The assistant nodded with a smile.

The woman leaned back in her chair, her eyes disdainfully sweeping over the members of the Hughes family, ultimately landing on Lillian Hughes, “Lillian, you are truly useless.”

Lillian’s face turned awkward.

“You can’t even manage to control your own daughter. As her mother, you could have had complete control over her life and marriage, but in the end, not only did you fail to control Xaviera, even the Hughes family has fallen to its lowest. All because of your ineptitude!”

Lillian cried out hysterically, “Get out! Get out of here now!!”

The surrounding bodyguards promptly congregated around, ever alert to prevent anyone from harming this madam. The woman spoke up calmly, “I came here today to bring you a piece of good news. I can salvage Hughes Group, and moreover, Xaviera will no longer be a hindrance to you from now on.”

Cory still did not dare to believe her easily, but Lillian was already beside herself with excitement, “What do you want to do! I agree to anything, as long as you can save the Hughes family, and make Xaviera disappear forever! That little Bitch is not my daughter, she ruined my life! I wish I could kill her!”

“Xaviera is your daughter.” The woman gave a slight smile, “Lillian, I will give 2 billion dollars to the Hughes family as betrothal gifts.”

Everyone’s eyes widened instantaneously.

“My son desires to marry Xaviera. If you accept the betrothal gifts, the Hughes family will be connected to us by marriage, Lillian, Xaviera is your daughter. Regardless of your relationship with her, there is an undeniable blood connection between you. As long as you agree to let her marry my son, everything can be sorted out.”

The Hughes family members looked at each other, after remaining silent for a few seconds, Cory spoke up with hesitation, “But Zach…”

Detected greed in their eyes, the woman laughed lightly, “I didn’t consider Zach at all. Sooner or later, I will… get rid of this troublesome bastard. Xaviera will be without any support once Zach is out of her life, how will she refuse then?”

“By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I’d think Mr. Hughes would be aware of our family. My husband is…”
