Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Soak for a bit longer, wash off the dirt on your body Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Soak for a bit longer, wash off the dirt on your body “Miss Powell, there’s no need to pretend.” Xaviera Evans was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and gently laughed, “This is the Mamet family’s backyard. No one from outside would come in without their permission. Who are you trying to fool here?”

Quinn Powell’s face instantly stiffened.

Evans stood beside Quinn, sizing up her disheveled appearance, and said cheerfully, “Miss Powell, since you like the fishpond so much, feel free to soak in it a bit longer and wash off the filth on your body.”

As she said this, Xaviera walked away gracefully, her high heels clicking on the ground.

Quinn stared at Evans’ retreating figure, her eyes bloodshot, and her face twisted in anger.

Evans just left like that? How dare she be so brazen?

Quinn clenched her fists, thinking that if she climbed out by herself and accused Evans of pushing her in, not everyone might believe her. But if she stayed in the water, there was no telling when someone would come to save her.

Bitch!

Evans returned to the front hall, where the guests were taking their seats, and the banquet was about to begin.

Yigol Mamet, the young host, approached her, asking curiously, “Xaviera, have you seen Quinn Powell?”

Xaviera raised her eyebrows but didn’t answer.

“I saw her a moment ago, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye! Is she planning to set you up again?” Yigol whispered.

Xaviera glanced at him, her lips curving slightly upward. Yigol’s eyes widened in shock, asking anxiously, “Why are you looking at me like that? Has Quinn already done something to you?”

Just as Yigol was showing concern, Xaviera said with a smile, “Quinn is in the backyard fishpond.”

Yigol looked puzzled, not understanding her words. Before he had a chance to ask, Xaviera kindly explained, “I pushed her into the fishpond in the backyard. You may want to send someone to fish her out. Leaving her in the water for too long might give outsiders the impression that our hospitality is lacking.”

Yigol: “???”

After hearing Evans’ words, Yigol stared at her in shock for a few seconds. Then his eyes widened, and he looked around before whispering, “Holy shit! You really pushed her into the water? Quinn is Madam Mamet’s life saver… Now she’s definitely going to cause trouble and spread rumors that you bullied her!”

Xaviera was ruthless! She pushed someone into the water without hesitation! Although the fishpond wasn’t deep, it was still enough to give Quinn a hard time. Even if Quinn wasn’t Madam Mamet’s life saver, pushing a guest into the fishpond could spell big trouble!

Yigol’s face was full of worry. Thinking that he was concerned about the consequences this might cause for the Mamet family, Xaviera was caught off guard when he muttered, “Maybe we shouldn’t rescue her just yet. No one’s paying attention to her anyway. Let her soak for a bit longer, and we’ll wait for someone else to find her – that way, no one will suspect you of any wrongdoing.”

Xaviera: “…”

Before Xaviera could speak, Yigol made up his mind, “Let’s do it this way! It’s about time she learns a lesson.”

About ten minutes into the banquet, someone rushed to Yigol’s side and whispered to him about finding Quinn at the fishpond. He immediately stood up, looking shocked, “What? Quick, get her out of there!”

Assistant: “…” There was no need for you to be so overly dramatic.

Quinn had been in the fishpond for half an hour before she was finally fished out. It was early autumn, and the temperature dropped quickly during the evening, making her dress feel thin and cold. Wearing nothing more than a black blazer over her trembling, shivering body, she looked utterly miserable.

The banquet hall was bustling with lively conversation and the clinking of glasses.

Quinn Powell, draped in a black suit jacket with wet hair sticking to her pale face and red-rimmed eyes, seemed to be holding back tears, evoking pity from those around her.

“Oh my! What happened to Miss Powell?”

“Why is she all wet?”

When they saw Xaviera Evans standing behind the crowd, Quinn’s body trembled in fear. But she forced herself to remain standing, putting on a pitiful yet resilient facade, “Mrs. Mamet, why would you do this to me?”

Mrs. Mamet?

The crowd turned to look at Evans, interpreting Quinn’s words to mean that it was Xaviera who was responsible for Quinn’s current sorry state.

Xaviera, standing in her place with a smile, said, “Miss Powell, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Having soaked in the water for half an hour, Quinn had accumulated a mountain of fury in her heart. But she had to suppress it in front of the crowd. With tears streaming down her face and a sob in her voice, she said, “Mrs. Mamet, I know you dislike me, but this is a banquet hosted by Madam Mamet. Even if we have a huge grudge, you cannot humiliate me like this. Furthermore, by pushing me into the fishpond, if I could not swim, I might have drowned — that’s practically murder!”
