Chapter 1536 - Chapter 1536 Chapter 1536 Shes Willing to Gamble Her Own Life
Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: She’s Willing to Gamble Her Own Life Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: She’s Willing to Gamble Her Own Life Jacob Powell spoke gently, “Quinn, don’t be sad. Take good care of yourself. If Madam Mamet doesn’t want you to attend the banquet, then don’t go.”
Quinn’s heart was boiling with anger.
Why shouldn’t she go? She must go!
But in front of Jacob Powell, she couldn’t expose her true thoughts. After the Powell father and son left, she could no longer suppress her anger and smashed the cup next to her on the floor.
“Bitch! Bitch!” Quinn growled quietly, her eyes bloodshot and her teeth grinding, “She should have died a long time ago! She escaped death five years ago, and now she’s back to disgust me!”
It was precisely because of Xaviera Evans that she had encountered so many obstacles. Originally, she could have become the most honorable guest of the Mamet family by saving the old lady, but Xaviera’s involvement caused the old lady to leave!
She couldn’t understand why, besides her looks, Xaviera was inferior to her in every aspect, yet Caleb Mamet loved her, and so did many other wealthy aristocrats. Now even Madam Mamet valued her so much!
In a nearby high-end ward.
“Madam, it seems that Miss Powell has smashed a cup.” Nanny Donne whispered, glancing at the old lady’s expression, and then tentatively said, “Madam, forgive my candor, but this Miss Powell seems gentle and polite on the surface, but in reality…”
“Go ahead.” Madam Mamet lay in bed with her eyes closed, resting.
Nanny Donne continued, “Miss Powell is not as kind-hearted as she seems. I always feel that she is very scheming. Maybe she deliberately approached you to seek repayment.”
As there was no response from Madam Mamet, Nanny Donne thought she might have displeased the old lady by speaking that way about Miss Powell. Maybe she had misjudged Miss Powell.
Seeing the car about to hit, Miss Powell rushed forward and pushed Madam Mamet away. If she couldn’t control herself, the accident could have cost Miss Powell her life. Could she really be willing to risk her life in that scenario?
“You think so too.” Just when Nanny Donne began to blame herself, Madam Mamet suddenly spoke up, her eyes slowly opening, clear and bright, recounting how that smug smirk appeared on Quinn’s face after she had saved the old lady and the car struck her.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Miss Powell had wounds all over her body, and Madam Mamet hadn’t had time to think; she hurriedly ordered the driver to take Miss Powell to the hospital. In that circumstance, there was no reason to suspect her life saver.
Furthermore, when Quinn pushed her away, leaving herself to be hit by the car, gratitude and concern filled Madam Mamet’s heart. She decided to treat this girl as her own granddaughter. Initially, she could have pretended not to notice Quinn’s smug smile, but when Xaviera visited her in the ward, Quinn’s words and the hint of calculation in her eyes revealed her true intentions.
At that moment, Nanny Donne murmured, “What is the relationship between Miss Powell and the madam?”
The next second, Caleb Mamet pushed the door open forcefully, coldly saying, “Quinn is the adoptive daughter of the Powell family.”
Madam Mamet saw his gloomy face, unable to conceal his disgust when mentioning the Powell family.
“Robert Powell has come to Libanan this time in search of his long-lost biological daughter, who is Xaviera.” Caleb Mamet continued.
“Xaviera is the daughter of the Powell family?” Madam Mamet’s face was full of surprise.
Caleb Mamet nodded lightly, indifferent in his tone. “Xaviera is the true daughter of the Powell family, but due to Quinn’s meddling, the relationship between Xaviera and the Powell family has been deteriorating. Moreover, the Powell family has yet to publicly acknowledge Xaviera’s identity.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Mamet immediately regretted being so courteous to the Powell family in front of Xaviera; surely, Xaviera would feel heartbroken.
She could see that Quinn was delicate and appeared weak, even though she was only an adopted daughter. However, the Powell father and son were very obedient to her. That’s why, based on her one-sided word, they thought Xaviera was deliberately causing trouble.
