Chapter 1470 - Chapter 1470 Chapter 1470 If I Could Do It All Over Again
Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470: If I Could Do It All Over Again Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470: If I Could Do It All Over Again Jacob Powell stared blankly at where Xaviera had been standing, her words still ringing in his ears. He and his father had finally found his sister, but were they going to be separated again?
But he… he didn’t mean to eliminate Xaviera from the competition. He only cared about Quinn and wanted her to live a fulfilling life within her lifetime. He didn’t know Xaviera was participating in the competition, let alone becoming Quinn’s opponent.
If he could do it all over again, he would arrange for them to compete separately so they could both advance. After all, Xaviera was his sister, and of course he cared for her too.
Quinn hung her head, lips pressed tightly together. When Xaviera left earlier, she had glanced back at her with cold, piercing eyes that carried a heavy touch of mockery. This made Quinn feel uneasy.
What was Xaviera going to do? Was she going to expose what happened?
Actually, even if she did, Quinn wasn’t afraid. She had already won two consecutive championships and gained public recognition. This time was just an accident – she hadn’t been able to submit her work in time due to her poor health, and the judges let her advance out of sympathy, knowing her past victories. It was understandable!
With these thoughts, Quinn took a deep breath to calm her emotions and squeezed out a few tears. She looked at Robert Powell pitifully, “Dad, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Xaviera hates me because I participated in the perfume competition.”
Robert sat helplessly on the couch without saying a word.
“Before she left, Xaviera gave me a fierce glare. It’s all my fault. Don’t blame Jacob; he was just trying to help me. From now on, I won’t participate in any competitions anymore. I won’t upset Xaviera again. Dad… please forgive me.”
Quinn’s voice trembled, her face pale and eyes reddened. If this were any other time, Robert would have comforted her, but he was preoccupied with Xaviera’s words: If my mother were still here, she definitely wouldn’t let me be wronged. Since you’ve both forgotten about her and me, there’s no point in keeping her picture around.
Robert felt frustrated and impatiently said, “Stop crying! Quinn, you were indeed wrong this time. You always think the worst of Xaviera, but she hasn’t done anything to you. Instead, you hurt her. You didn’t apologize and even tried to pit us against her. How did you become like this!”
Upon hearing this, Quinn’s crying abruptly stopped.
Jacob sighed helplessly, “Quinn, it’s my fault. I didn’t consider Xaviera’s feelings. She was indeed wronged, and it was reasonable for her to advance. I’ll figure out a way for you to continue in the competition, so please stop crying.”
Robert suddenly looked up, a hint of displeasure in his eyes, “Forget it. Quinn, you shouldn’t participate in this competition. Find a time to apologize to Xaviera. Jacob, you should go with her. You shouldn’t have done what you did. Remember, Xaviera is your real sister.”
Dad, I can apologize, but Quinn…” Jacob’s face filled with unease. He knew how much Quinn loved perfumery, even staying up late to write perfume formulas despite her illness. To not let her compete would be too cruel.
Quinn’s body stiffened, and she choked out, “If I don’t participate, then the Powell family’s perfume company… ”
“It doesn’t matter! If Xaviera knew you continued to compete, she would be angry,” Robert interrupted without hesitation.
Quinn shuddered, her breath seemingly caught.
