Chapter 1533 - Chapter 1533 Chapter 1533 Her eyes were full of calculation
Chapter 1533: Chapter 1533: Her eyes were full of calculation Chapter 1533: Chapter 1533: Her eyes were full of calculation In Madam Mamet’s eyes, Quinn Powell was a kind and brave girl, and she knew nothing about the grudge between Quinn and Xaviera Evans. Quinn got injured while saving her, so of course, she wanted to visit her.
“Miss Powell is from Yittaland!” Madam Mamet said gently, “I’ve heard of Mr. Robert Powell and Mr. Jacob Powell for a long time, but I didn’t expect to meet them under these circumstances.”
Robert Powell, believing himself to be of high status and enjoying the admiration of others, had a smile on his face when he heard Madam Mamet praised him, “Perhaps it’s fate that brings the Powell and Mamet families together.”
“Mr. Powell is blessed to have such an outstanding daughter like Miss Powell!” Madam Mamet praised him verbally, yet there was a trace of alienation in her eyes. Ever since Quinn woke up, she had been by her bedside. The girl appeared weak and innocent, but her eyes occasionally showed signs of calculation.
Madam Mamet had been in charge of the Mamet family for her entire life and had seen too many conspiracies and tricks to be deceived.
Although Madam Mamet didn’t particularly like the girl, she had to acknowledge that it was Quinn who had saved her life. So, pretending not to know the truth, she still showed a loving face and said, “Miss Powell, the Mamet family is hosting a banquet in a couple of days. If you recover by then, would you like to come over as our guest?”
Thinking back to the dangerous scene, Madam Mamet was genuinely grateful to Quinn.>
Quinn’s eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, and her face showed uncontrollable joy. Just as she was about to speak, Nanny Donne’s excited voice came from the doorway, “Madam! Mr. Mamet and Madam Mamet are here.”
Xaviera at the door raised her eyebrows towards Quinn, her cold gaze instantly saw through her.
Quinn’s expression stiffened slightly, then she lowered her head, her frail body trembling as she said in a frightened voice, “Never mind, Mrs. Mamet…I…I won’t go.”
Madam Mamet was surprised, “I’ve asked the doctor. Your wounds are not deep, only your wrist is temporarily unusable. It’s not a problem for you to attend the banquet. In three days, your injuries should mostly be healed, so why don’t you come over to our house for a visit?”
“I…I…” Quinn lowered her head even further like an ostrich, tears the size of beans dripping onto her hospital gown, her voice trembling, “It’s not because of my injuries, Mrs. Mamet. Saving you was just a subconscious reaction. Even if the person in danger wasn’t you, I would have stepped forward. I didn’t do it to take advantage of your gratitude.”
Madam Mamet was puzzled, “Why would you say something like that? Now stop crying.”
Xaviera’s smile deepened. Quinn was such a good actress. As soon as she saw Xaviera, she started crying in front of Madam Mamet, trying to make her misunderstand her.
Before Quinn could say anything, Jacob turned to look at the people standing at the door, his brows furrowed and his tone slightly distant, “Xaviera?”
Upon hearing this name, Robert quickly turned around. His eyes showed a hint of astonishment before lowering them. His tone was filled with anger, “Xaviera, what are you doing here?”
Madam Mamet glanced from Xaviera at the door to Quinn, sensing that their relationship was not good.
Xaviera nodded slightly towards the two, “Mr. Powell, Mr. Jacob Powell, what a coincidence! Meeting you here as well.”
Robert’s face darkened, “Xaviera, you shouldn’t be appearing before Quinn right now. She has just been seriously injured and cannot be agitated–”
Before he could finish, Quinn began to cough violently, as if she was about to faint any second.
