Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Raising an Ungrateful Wretch Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Raising an Ungrateful Wretch Before Zora could finish speaking, Steve interrupted coldly, “Miss Hughes, when you were forcing Mrs. Mamet to marry, you didn’t say this. You said it was an honor to sacrifice for the Hughes family. But now that it’s your turn to marry, why are you unwilling?”
“Our Mrs. Mamet isn’t part of the Hughes family, she hasn’t received any favors from the Hughes family since childhood. But you, Miss Hughes, have been lavished with luxurious clothes and food, with the love and support of the Hughes family since you were a child. Isn’t it only right and proper for you to sacrifice for the family?”
“Moreover, Mrs. Taylor was invited by Miss Hughes herself. Since Miss Hughes can ask outsiders to sacrifice for the family, why can’t she do it herself? Mr. Hughes, the granddaughter you’ve painstakingly raised is too selfish. The Hughes family is on the verge of bankruptcy, but she still refuses to make a sacrifice.”
“I heard that Miss Hughes has grown up by Mr. Hughes’ side since childhood. The Hughes family spent a lot of time and money in nurturing her, but what was the result? They raised an ungrateful person!”
Upon hearing Steve’s words, Cory Hughes’ face darkened, and his tone lost its earlier gentleness: “Zora! At this point, you have no choice but to marry!”
Then, Cory Hughes leaned slightly forward and lowered his voice: “Zora, rest assured, your grandfather will avenge you. It won’t be long before Xaviera Evans will join you, and by then, whatever sufferings you’ve endured, she will suffer ten times more!”
Tears streamed down Zora’s face, and she sobbed uncontrollably. She didn’t want to marry Mr. Taylor; it would kill her! There must be another way!
Right, she could still seek help from her online friends. Although her reputation wasn’t great after the New City Mall incident, she still had some fans. If she posted this matter online, she would surely gain sympathy from netizens. Once the matter became too big, Mrs. Taylor couldn’t forcibly take her away.
Cory Hughes saw that Zora did not protest and assumed she had accepted her fate, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
As he turned around, he couldn’t help but meet Caleb Mamet’s eyes. He had meticulously planned to send people to intercept Caleb while Mrs. Taylor forcibly took Xaviera away. Even if Caleb arrived, it would be too late.
Even if Caleb had absolute power in Libanan, he would still be unable to snatch someone from the Brooke family’s hands. After all, if he went to Yittaland, it was uncertain whether he could even return, let alone risk his life for a woman.
He had thought his plan was foolproof, but he didn’t expect it to end like this. They received the 2 billion dollars betrothal gifts but lost Zora in the process.
Cory Hughes clenched his teeth in hatred. Xaviera Evans caused the Hughes family to suffer a huge loss. Did she think it was over? He would never let this go easily. Once the Hughes family regained its power, he would make her pay the price!
“Mr. Hughes, you wouldn’t be thinking about making me pay the price when the Hughes family regains its power, would you?” Xaviera suddenly spoke up, asking with a light laugh.
Cory Hughes’ mouth twitched slightly, but only for a moment before returning to normal. He asked calmly, “What if I am?”
“Xaviera, now that you’re Caleb’s wife, I can’t touch you. Now he likes you, loves you, but how can you be sure he won’t change his heart? Even if he always protects you, he can’t be with you every moment, and there will be times when he’s not around.”
“How can the Hughes family swallow the grudge after you’ve torn it apart?”
