Chapter 1247 - Chapter 1247 Chapter 1247 The Relationship Between Nina
Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: The Relationship Between Nina Hughes and the Heninger Family Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: The Relationship Between Nina Hughes and the Heninger Family To everyone present, although Miss Hughes was the daughter of an illegitimate son, her character and knowledge were overall excellent. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good and kneel down to apologize on behalf of her father, showing that she was also filial.
Xaviera Evans listened to the praises over the phone and sneered. It was great that Zora Hughes had to kneel down and apologize. Seeing her humbly admitting her mistake with her own eyes was truly delightful.
After ten minutes, Xaviera returned to the reception hall. Zora anxiously approached her: “Xaviera…”
“Miss Evans,” Ralap Heninger greeted her with a beaming smile, “Earlier your mother, Mrs. Nina Hughes, had written to our patriarch’s wife, saying that given the opportunity, she would take you to Black Island as well.”
“Later, when our patriarch’s wife passed away, she still remembered Mrs. Hughes. We in the Heninger family searched for her for a long time but couldn’t find any trace of her. Our patriarch’s wife sadly couldn’t fulfill her wish to meet Mrs. Hughes, so she instructed me to give these gifts to her before dying full of regret.”
“Now that Mrs. Nina Hughes has also passed away, as her daughter, you should receive the belongings left by our patriarch’s wife. I hope you won’t refuse them.”
After Ralap Heninger finished speaking, Assistant Heninger brought out a sandalwood box. Inside was a transparent icy jade bracelet. One look was enough to tell it was worth a lot.
“This is our matriarch’s favorite piece of jewelry. She had always wanted to give this bracelet to Mrs. Hughes. Unfortunately, she never had the chance. There are many more gifts like this, and I will have someone deliver them to your home soon,” said Ralap Heninger, introducing the gifts.
Xaviera glanced at Quine Heninger and took the bracelet.
Steward Heninger, who was previously cold and arrogant in front of Cory Hughes, was very respectful in front of Xaviera.
Everyone finally understood that Ralap Heninger’s respect for Xaviera was because of Nina. It seemed that the matriarch of the family at Black Island and Nina had a very close relationship. Even though Nina left Black Island 24 years ago, the matriarch still remembered and prepared gifts for her every year.
Who would have thought that Cory Hughes could have such an incredible daughter? Although Nina had been dead for so many years, the Heninger family still held deep affection for her. With this relationship alone, they would surely treat the Hughes family well.
Mr. Heninger had taught the Hughes family a lesson earlier, but that was punishment for their disrespect towards Mrs. Nina Hughes. As long as they didn’t make similar mistakes in the future, the Hughes family’s status would surely rise with the tide.
Steward Heninger was treating Xaviera with such respect, which meant that Nina must have held a position similar to that of the house’s mistress at Black Island at the time. It was simply Jonas Hughes’ bad luck to steal from her. However, judging by the Heninger family’s attitude, they would not hold a grudge against Cory Hughes and would still show respect to Nina’s father.
Everyone looked at Cory Hughes with envy.
Xaviera curved her lips, giving Cory Hughes a meaningful glance. His body stiffened, and his teeth chattered. He knew very well that he and Nina had no father-daughter relationship. Years ago, Nina had moved to the Russell family with Letitia Russell.
At this moment, Quine Heninger spoke up: “Now that Miss Evans has arrived, we can proceed with the collaboration ceremony.”
The Hughes Group had long been prepared and was just waiting for the Heninger family’s consent. Upon hearing Mr. Heninger’s words, they couldn’t wait to complete the ceremony immediately before Mr. Heninger could change his mind.
Cory Hughes’ mind was filled with a thousand thoughts. After all, outsiders didn’t know his relationship with Nina wasn’t good. Since Nina had the Hughes surname, she was part of the Hughes family. Her existence should bring benefits and honor to the Hughes family. Now that Jonas had failed and been disgraced, Cory could no longer prioritize him. First and foremost was protecting the Hughes Group.
