Chapter 1472: Chapter 1472: Her Face is Thicker Than the Bottom of My Shoe Chapter 1472: Chapter 1472: Her Face is Thicker Than the Bottom of My Shoe Irene Hamer showed a disgusted expression. “The Powells appear to value their family relationships on the surface. However, they’re actually driven by selfish desires. Don’t they know that Quinn Powell’s perfume formulas were stolen from you?”

“They believe Quinn wouldn’t steal,” Xaviera Evans smirked. “But after the perfume competition, they’ll have to believe it. Before that happens, we should let the Powells lose a bit more. What do you think, Caleb?”

Caleb Mamet turned his head, and the two exchanged a smile.

Irene: “…”

What were these two planning again? Why did it seem so creepy?

At this point at the Powell Villa, Robert Powell had just gone upstairs when he received a call from Madam Powell. She interrogated him over the phone: “Son, what’s going on? Why won’t you let Quinn participate in the competition?”

Several hours had already passed since the incident. Robert felt not only guilty towards Xaviera but also concerned for Quinn. He had always doted on Quinn from a young age, and she was smart and understanding, allowing him to never scold her. But today, in a spur of the moment, he had harshly rebuked her, which he regretted deeply.

“Mother, I didn’t let Quinn compete for her own good…”

“What did I tell you when you were going to Libanan? Regardless of whether Xaviera returns to the Powells or not, you can’t treat Quinn unfairly! So what if Xaviera is your biological daughter? Over these years, it’s Quinn who has stayed by our side. Are you really going to let Quinn get hurt for a daughter with whom you share no emotional bond?”

Madam Powell’s voice was stern. “I agreed to you bringing Xaviera back here on the condition that Quinn wouldn’t be slighted. Quinn has been in poor health since childhood. You have a lifetime to make up to Xaviera, but how many days does Quinn have? Don’t regret it when Quinn is no longer in the world!”

Listening to Madam Powell’s words, Robert felt extreme guilt. “Mother, I…”

“Most importantly, the Powell family needs to expand its presence in the perfume industry. Having Quinn, a champion, will help us firmly establish ourselves. Despite Quinn’s frail health, she has been able to create profits for the Powell family. What can Xaviera do? It’s already good enough if she doesn’t disgrace the Powell family!”

Robert suddenly remembered the judge’s words in the recording, claiming, ‘Miss Cynthia might win the championship’. Could Xaviera truly have such ability?

After some consideration, he figured the judge might have just been flattering Xaviera to calm his own guilt. After all, winning the International Perfume Competition would be no easy feat.

Seeing that Robert didn’t reply for a while, Madam Powell said unhappily: “In any case, the champion of this perfume competition must be Quinn. If Xaviera prevents Quinn from competing, I will not allow Xaviera to return to the Powell family. Figure it out yourself!”

With that, Madam Powell hung up, leaving Robert standing by the window, lost in thought.

Although his mother’s words were harsh, they were reasonable. Quinn didn’t have much time left and her body wouldn’t last long. Would there be another chance for her to compete in the future? Xaviera, on the other hand, still had plenty of time for him to make it up to her.

After much thought, Robert finally made a decision.

…

The next day.

A furious Irene called Xaviera. “I’m going to die of anger! As expected, that angelic girl, Quinn, is listed in the final roster! The Powell father and son really have no shame, just to allow her to compete! Do they think we, the Hamer family, and Mrs. Wenzel are blind? It was clearly stated yesterday that Quinn was already eliminated. Not spreading the news about her cheating was already a favor to the Powell family. Yet she still shamelessly participated in the finals and even ranked first! She’s thicker-skinned than the soles of my shoes!”

Xaviera responded calmly. “As expected, the Powells always act like this.”

Irene was curious. “I’m about to explode, yet you’re not angry at all? Do you and Caleb have some sort of plan? How are you going to deal with the Powell family? Let me in on it.”

Xaviera responded nonchalantly. “Since this concerns the company’s interests, the Powells will let Quinn participate in the competition no matter what. So, I guess Robert will definitely come to meet me. He will ask me to keep Quinn’s secret and give her way during the competition.”

Irene’s mouth twitched. “…”

He who has no shame is indeed invincible!

“Say… Why don’t you do a paternity test? I suspect Robert isn’t your biological father!”

Xaviera didn’t doubt this. Jacob Powell must have done a paternity test when he found her five years ago. Someone as meticulous as him would never allow such an error to occur.
