Chapter 1460 - Chapter 1460 Chapter 1460 Her Status Remains Unshakable
Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Her Status Remains Unshakable Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Her Status Remains Unshakable As Jacob Powell spoke, he suddenly choked up. He actually wanted to say that it was Xaviera Evans’s fault for all the embarrassment today. If she hadn’t been so pushy, things wouldn’t have come to this.
But in the end, he didn’t say that. He calmed down and softly said, “Xaviera won’t hate you. Don’t get too emotional, rest for a while and then come downstairs to have a meal together.”
Robert Powell chimed in, “Yes! Xaviera will be staying with us for a while. You two have to get along well. If there’s any conflict, try to be more understanding since she also suffered today.”
Quinn Powell bit her lip, tears flowing down her face, and then threw herself into Jacob’s arms, crying, “Brother, I’m so upset!”
Jacob felt distressed and it seemed like his heart ached.
“Xaviera is dad’s biological daughter. Now that she’s back home, dad and brother don’t need me anymore. I know my place, I’m just Xaviera’s substitute. Now that the legitimate daughter is back, I, the substitute, should leave. Sooner or later, I have to leave the Powell family and you!” Quinn finished and cried even louder.
“Quinn!” Robert Powell frowned and said firmly, “Whether Xaviera returns or not, you are the Powell family’s daughter. That’s what your grandmother said, and I can’t go against it. Besides, your brother and I love you so much, how can we let you leave the Powell family?”
Quinn, nestled in Jacob’s arms, revealed a triumphant smile. Since Robert had said that, her position in the Powell family was still unshakable. What about his biological daughter? She would still be under her feet.
She was the pampered Powell family’s daughter, while Xaviera was just a wild girl who wandered outside. Xaviera’s existence was only for her blood transfusion and medical treatment, nothing more.
Quinn timely stopped crying and weakly showed a smile, “Dad, I understand. I will get along well with Xaviera. Her room hasn’t been tidied up yet, so why not leave it to me? I will do my best to make Xaviera satisfied as an apology.”
Robert smiled lovingly, “Alright! Quinn, you’re such a sweetheart. Just be sure not to overdo it and tire yourself out.”
“Yes! I’m daddy’s sweet heart!” Quinn smiled sweetly.
Jacob was also infected by Quinn’s smile, and his mood lightened. He couldn’t do without Quinn, only with her around did he feel the warmth of family.
He naturally hoped that Xaviera could come home, but if Xaviera returned and Quinn had to leave or the Powell family turned upside down, then it would be better if Xaviera didn’t come back!
Five years ago, Xaviera couldn’t tolerate Quinn or that she had taken her place, and she always made things difficult for Quinn. But when Quinn was adopted, she was just a child. How could anyone blame her?
Five years later, Xaviera still couldn’t tolerate Quinn and insisted on suppressing her, causing chaos in the family. Why couldn’t she understand him and his father? Although Quinn was an adopted daughter, she had been with them for more than a decade, and their bond was deep. How could they bear to see her suffer?
Over these years, Jacob never regretted his decision, and the last bit of guilt he had evaporated. He believed that it wasn’t wrong to sacrifice a sibling he didn’t have feelings for to save his clever, understanding Quinn. Furthermore, Xaviera was still alive, and he wasn’t guilty towards her. At least, he helped Xaviera forget about that sad memory.
Jacob thought that if things started again, they could be different. But now he realized that if Xaviera returned, the family would be unstable, and Quinn would suffer. Recently, Quinn had been crying and her illness had been getting worse, all because of Xaviera!
Jacob clenched his teeth, seemingly making up his mind.
