Chapter 1188 - Chapter 1188 Chapter 1186 I Will Not Let Her Go
Chapter 1188: Chapter 1186: I Will Not Let Her Go Chapter 1188: Chapter 1186: I Will Not Let Her Go Nidya Hughes quickly pulled Zora away, “Fine! We’ll go! I don’t understand what’s wrong with coming to my own sister’s property! You’re kicking us out today, don’t regret it later!”
Zora still couldn’t let go, her eyes fixed on the seashell wind chime, suddenly reaching out and grabbing it.
Xaviera’s eyes narrowed slightly, filled with a touch of coldness.
Zora looked helpless: “Xaviera, I really want this wind chime. If… if you still don’t allow it, I won’t take it, but I just want to look at it. As for this bracelet…”
“Zora! She doesn’t even want to give you a return gift, why should you give her a bracelet!” Nidya Hughes snatched the velvet box from Xaviera’s hand and shoved it into Zora’s arms. She hated Xaviera’s attitude, her eyes were full of coldness and disdain, not a shred of mother-daughter connection. She’d rather not have this daughter!
Just a seashell wind chime, and she wouldn’t even give it! So stingy! Absolutely disgraceful!
Nidya Hughes was fuming, pulling Zora away. Zora’s eyes flashed with sinister intent, deliberately losing her footing and throwing the wind chime on the ground, “Ah…” Then she stumbled a few more steps, stomping viciously on the wind chime.
The seashell was thin in texture, and when Zora lifted her foot, several shells had already shattered. The white fragments fell on the brown floor, glaringly eye-catching.
There was a moment of silence in the storage room, the air seemed frozen, and Xaviera was stunned.
Zora lowered her head, glanced at the fragments, and pretended to panic, stomping twice more. Then she stuttered, “Xaviera, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
She shivered with fear, like an innocent girl who had broken someone else’s things, only able to keep apologizing, “I’m sorry, Xaviera, it’s all my fault for not holding the wind chime, I…”
Seeing Zora’s non-stop apologies, Nidya Hughes became even angrier. She felt sorry for Zora and couldn’t bear to see her humbly apologizing to Xaviera.
“It’s just a worthless seashell; if you really like it, Zora can compensate you. Xaviera, don’t make things difficult for her! We’re leaving!”
Zora cried in fear, sobbing softly: “Xaviera, I’m sorry, please don’t be mad at me, I can compensate you. Whatever kind of seashell you want, I can buy it for you. If you’re still not satisfied, I can personally go to the beach to pick up seashells and make a new wind chime for you.”
Between speaking, Zora had been dragged to the doorway by Nidya Hughes, her head drooping to reveal a triumphant smile.
If Xaviera wouldn’t let her take other jewelry, then she’d destroy Xaviera’s most cherished seashell wind chime and give her a stingy reputation.
Xaviera watched the two leave without stopping them.
Caleb Mamet bent down to pick up the seashell wind chime. A few shells were broken, but most were still intact. He held the wind chime in his palm and handed it to Xaviera, “Your wind chime.”
Xaviera reached out and took it, examining it carefully. Her serious look couldn’t help but make Caleb chuckle: “Did you come all the way here just to find this wind chime? You value it so much, yet she broke it. Don’t you plan to punish her?”
She looked for a long time before placing it on the table, “This is not the wind chime I was looking for.”
“Hmm?” Caleb raised an eyebrow.
