Chapter 1489 - Chapter 1489 Chapter 1489 Human Prejudice is a Mountain
Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: Human Prejudice is a Mountain Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: Human Prejudice is a Mountain “Have we met before?” Xaviera still looked indifferent, making Madam Powell’s face turn the color of a pig liver. She gasped for breath and couldn’t speak.
Robert Powell by the side hurriedly spoke up, “Xaviera, this is your grandmother.”
Madam Powell trembled, pointed at Xaviera, and snapped furiously, “You’re indeed an ill-bred wild girl! You don’t even know how to greet your elders, and you pretend not to recognize me. When I told you to come here, are you deaf?”
The onlookers were puzzled. How could Miss Evans not recognize her own grandmother? Even if she didn’t grow up under the old lady’s care, she shouldn’t be so indifferent!
Everyone around Fragrant House looked over. What confused them was that Fragrant House was Albert Sullivan’s territory, and ordinary people wouldn’t make a fuss here for fear of offending him. Even if someone did cause trouble, the staff would ask them to leave. So why didn’t the staff at the door show any intention of driving people away?
Madam Powell’s face turned pale with anger. Being refused entry to the Fragrant House had already filled her with rage, and Xaviera’s attitude only made her angrier. Her voice gradually became shrill, “I’ll say it one last time, come here immediately!”
The surroundings fell silent, and everyone’s gaze fell on Xaviera. She slightly raised her eyes, and calmly said, “Madam Powell, if I remember correctly, this is our first meeting, isn’t it? I’ve never seen you before, so naturally, I don’t know that you are my grandmother. It’s impossible for me to obediently go over to a stranger who tells me to go away, right?”
Robert frowned, while Madam Powell’s mouth twitched slightly. Angrily, she yelled, “You glib-tongued wild girl!”
Xaviera looked at her with a heavy gaze. Before she could speak, Caleb Mamet, who was next to her, said gravely with a slight opening of his lips, “The Powell family has never raised Xaviera, and she has never spent a penny of your family’s money. Naturally, you don’t count as her elders. Besides, wasn’t it agreed that there will be no more contact between you? Mr. Powell.”
Hearing Caleb mention himself, Robert’s frown deepened, and he explained in slight panic, “Xaviera, your grandmother just arrived in Libanan today. I intended to arrange a meeting for you, but there was an accident.”
Madam Powell was still full of anger. This was not an accident at all! It was because Xaviera had offended the boss of Fragrant House that they were embarrassed in public. This little bitch was just as annoying as her mother.
For decades, Madam Powell had lived the life of an aristocratic lady, surrounded by people who flattered her. She had never been so furious before, At the moment, she already blamed Xaviera and scolded loudly, “Xaviera! You’re a jinx! You offended the boss of Fragrant House and caused us to be refused entry. It’s right for me to scold you!”
Xaviera showed a faint smirk on her lips.
Seeing her smile, Caleb understood that she had already known that Madam Powell and Robert would come to the Fragrant House. That’s why she agreed without hesitation when he mentioned coming here.
At this point, Robert’s face was a bit embarrassed too. He tried to soften his tone, “Xaviera, you’re already twenty years old. You should be more mature. Since you’ve offended someone, you should bear the consequences instead of causing us to lose face along with you. Your grandmother has come from afar, and she just got off the plane today. She just wanted to taste the dishes from Fragrant House, but she encountered this…”
Xaviera raised her eyebrows and asked softly, “You were refused entry by Fragrant House, so why did you assume it was because I offended the boss? Have you ever considered your own problems?”
Looking disappointed, Robert said, “Xaviera, it doesn’t matter if you offended the boss of Fragrant House. I’ve always thought you were a good girl. You can’t be afraid to take responsibility.”
