Chapter 1469: Chapter 1469: Give an Inch and They’ll Take a Mile Chapter 1469: Chapter 1469: Give an Inch and They’ll Take a Mile Mrs. Wenzel looked at Quinn Powell coldly, “Miss Powell, even if you are the champion for two consecutive terms, you must follow the competition rules. After all, as Mr. Powell just said, there are always people better than you. The judges all believe that Miss Evans’s work is perfect, so maybe she is stronger than you. You cannot abuse your power to deprive others of their chance to advance!”

“Therefore, the eliminated person is Miss Powell, and according to the competition rules, Miss Evans advances.”

Quinn’s eyes widened in an instant, her body swayed, and tears cascaded down as she cried softly: “No… don’t! Xaviera, please, I… I don’t want to be eliminated, this is my only hobby, can you…”

Now that she was eliminated, was she supposed to watch Xaviera become the champion with her own eyes?

Jacob Powell was heartbroken and hurried over to support Quinn. He felt guilty and embarrassed, as Xaviera was his biological sister, and he had bribed the judges to have her eliminated. Quinn was in poor health and only liked creating fragrances, so why should Xaviera compete with a patient?

Moreover, it was not that Quinn had no skills but rather she had been too sick lately to have the energy to make perfume. As Quinn’s older sister, Xaviera should be more understanding.

Robert Powell’s gaze wandered between Xaviera and Quinn, feeling both pity for Xaviera and sympathy for Quinn.

With Quinn’s illness recurring, there was always the possibility that she might pass away suddenly. If she did not win the championship this time, it would be a lifelong regret.

Robert hesitated and said, “Xaviera, you know about Quinn’s health problems. She really wants to participate in this competition. Can you make an exception this time? For the sake of your father…”

“Why should I let her?” Xaviera’s eyes were cold as ice. She stood up and walked out, “Irene and Caleb are right. Since the Powell family does not welcome me, I’ll leave. My biological brother would go as far as bribing judges to eliminate me for his foster daughter. Even my biological father wants me to swallow my pride for his foster daughter.”

“I am not a fool. I am clearly wronged but still have to swallow my anger. I thought that by giving in, things would be better, but it turns out they just took advantage of me. I can’t get along with Miss Powell, so I choose to leave the Powell family.”

Robert quickly spoke up, “Xaviera, don’t be impulsive…”

Xaviera stopped, suddenly turned, walked up to Robert, and quickly snatched the photos from his hands. She coldly said, “Mr. Powell, I will take my mom’s pictures. If my mom were still here, she would never let me be wronged. Since you no longer have a place for my mom and me in your hearts, keeping her pictures would be meaningless.”

After Xaviera finished speaking, she turned around, pulled Caleb, and headed for the door, “From now on, there will be no connection between me and the Powell family. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other.”

Robert called out in a panic, “Xaviera! Xaviera!”

He never expected such a happy day to turn out this way.

Robert looked down at his empty hands. He hadn’t had a chance to look through the photos of his wife, Nina Hughes, before Xaviera took them away. His heart seemed to be missing a piece, and it hurt so much that he frowned.

At this moment, he finally panicked. He rushed to catch up with Xaviera but was blocked by Caleb’s tall figure.

Robert’s face paled, but he didn’t know how to regain Xaviera’s trust. He could only stand there in a daze, watching Xaviera and the others leave. This scene reminded him of the day 20 years ago when Nina Hughes left, and his heart was filled with sadness.

Why… Why did they all have to leave him? Nina was like this, and so was Xaviera!

Mrs. Wenzel understood the situation and stood up slowly, her eyes cold, “Mr. Powell, by rights I shouldn’t interfere in your family affairs, but is it not too much for you to force your biological daughter to withdraw for the sake of a foster daughter?”

Seeing Robert silent, she turned to look at Quinn coldly and sneered, “Miss Powell, I had planned to recommend you to be a judge of the perfume competition, but now it seems that someone like you is not qualified at all!”

Quinn’s body trembled, and she leaned weakly against Jacob.

With that, Mrs. Wenzel left angrily. The once lively villa was now left with only the three members of the Powell family and the housekeeper.

Robert’s feelings were incredibly complicated – guilt, remorse. He even wanted to rush out and ask Xaviera to come back, but his pride wouldn’t allow him to do so.
