Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: Is the Hughes family going to divide the property? Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: Is the Hughes family going to divide the property? Lowen Clubhouse’s study.

Sean Price reported respectfully, “Mr. President, that is how it is.”

“The Brooke family?” Caleb Mamet raised his eyebrow, a hint of mockery in his eyes, “I was unaware, when I have offended them.”

“Mr. President, our business has always avoided Yittaland, and we have never worked with the Brooke family. How could we possibly have a grudge against them if we have never met?” Sean Price appeared confused as well.

“As of now, the Brooke family is becoming more and more mysterious. We can’t gather any intel on their true forces. Mr. President, what do you think they are planning?”

Caleb Mamet shook his head silently, an icy look flashed through his light brown eyes. The Brooke family…

Even though he didn’t know them personally, he had a feeling that they were targeting him.

The next day, Xaviera Evans received a call from Cory Hughes early in the morning.

Cory Hughes said there were some issues related to Nina Hughes that needed her to handle. Xaviera could deny her relation with Lillian Hughes, but Nina Hughes was her adoptive mother, it was only right for her to be present.

Moreover, even though everyone suspected that there were no blood ties between her and Lillian, the Hughes family was well experienced in forging DNA tests. Even if they were to perform a test, the Hughes family would surely manipulate the results. So Xaviera simply decided not to take it. She was certain she didn’t have any relationship with Lillian.

Cory Hughes patiently explained, “Xaviera, grandfather knows you are upset. I won’t force you to call Lillian your mother, nor to acknowledge her status. But Nina is your adoptive mother. She treated you like her own daughter, and she even left all of her inheritance to you. Now that the Hughes family is going bankrupt, we are planning to divide our assets. Though Nina has passed away, her part of the inheritance should still exist.”

“Nina has no kids, only you as her adopted daughter. So, her part of the inheritance should go to you. Grandfather still has you in his heart.”

Xaviera sneered inwardly. Cory Hughes was quite a performer. In order to trick her into going to the Hughes family, he was patient and even willing to put aside past grievances to coax her.

If it weren’t for the shadow guard telling her everything about the Hughes family and their plans, she might have been fooled by Cory Hughes and thought they had truly repented and planned to return to the Holy City to lead a peaceful life.

Could the Hughes family divide their assets among her? Even a fool wouldn’t believe it!

Xaviera replied nonchalantly, “Mr. Hughes, just say what you want.”

“Xaviera, grandfather is sincere. The Hughes family has reached this point due to our own errors. Have you become so unwilling even to visit? It’s just a family reunion meal, and we will divide the property. If you’re uncomfortable coming alone, feel free to bring some friends. We probably won’t meet again.”

Indeed, they won’t meet again. As soon as Xaviera arrives at the Hughes family, she will be forcibly taken away by the Brooke family.

Considering the Brooke family’s power, whoever Xaviera brought would be meaningless. Even if Caleb Mamet was there, he wouldn’t be able to prevent it.

Bruce, such a powerful family, Caleb Mamet wouldn’t dare to offend them. Besides, if Xaviera could marry into their family, it would be her fortune. What’s there to refuse?

Xaviera’s voice was neutral, “In that case, see you in the afternoon.”

At this moment in the Hughes Villa, Mrs. Taylor looked down on Cory Hughes as he hung up the phone, arrogantly asking, “Did Xaviera agree?”

The expressions on the Hughes’s faces varied, but all had a tinge of greed. Zora Hughes clenched her fists, excitement and agitation evident on her pale face.

She had investigated Mr. Taylor. It was said that he had fallen ill when he was young and was left brain-damaged. Though he wasn’t entirely idiotic, his behavior was certainly not normal. Apart from his wealth, he was flawed from head to toe. Ugly was a given, but he also had a violent temper. It was said that he had killed women even before he reached adulthood. After he came of age, he had married several times, but none of his wives survived more than half a year. All died tragically and their bodies were hastily cremated without their families being able to see them.

With such a man, what kind of life would Xaviera lead?

As long as Xaviera marries into their family, the Hughes family would receive 2 billion dollars in funds. She used to be unable to compete against Xaviera, but once this is successful, Xaviera would disappear from her life forever, never again posing a threat to her path.

Xaviera could only blame herself. Who asked her to be so high-profile and attract the attention of the Brooke family?

Cory Hughes’ old face wore a satisfied and greedy grin, “Mrs. Taylor, Xaviera has agreed. She will definitely come.”
