She lowered her head, her eyes filled with vengefulness. After a long silence, she finally spoke with a trembling voice: “Xaviera… I… I was just joking back then, but you…”
“Quinn!” Suddenly, a worried male voice came from the doorway.
Jacob Powell quickly ran over. Seeing him, Quinn’s tears fell like broken beads, her eyes full of grievance. Seeing his completely drenched and pitiful sister, Jacob’s anger surged.
“Quinn, what happened?”
Biting her lip, Quinn lowered her head like a frightened rabbit, “No… nothing, it’s just my own carelessness…”
Seeing her like this, Jacob instinctively looked at Xaviera Evans, his gaze questioning.
It must be Xaviera! Just like five years ago, Quinn would always be bullied, yet she’d still cover up for Xaviera. Although heartbroken, she could only silently shed tears.
Jacob knew that Quinn was afraid of putting him in a difficult position and didn’t want him to blame Xaviera, thus affecting their sibling relationship.
At first, when Xaviera made a mistake, he only scolded her a little without punishing her. But, she remained unrepentant and continued to bully Quinn. He could no longer turn a blind eye!
Frowning, he angrily questioned Xaviera, “No matter what conflicts you have with Quinn, you should sit down and talk about it. Why did you treat her like this?”
As his words fell, Yigol Mamet bristled, sarcastically saying, “Jacob Powell, you accuse Xaviera without knowing the whole story. What a great big brother you are!”
Yigol deliberately emphasized the phrase ‘great big brother,’ mocking Jacob for always siding with his sister. He had just arrived and knew nothing, yet immediately assumed Xaviera had bullied Quinn. Wasn’t this prejudice against Xaviera?
Jacob felt uncomfortable upon hearing Yigol’s words, but after all, this was the Mamet family’s residence. He couldn’t argue with Yigol. Suppressing his anger, he retorted, “Mr. Yigol Mamet! Didn’t you see how wet and tearful Quinn is? After all this, can it be that she was the one who bullied Xaviera?”
Yigol couldn’t help but roll his eyes. At this moment, he deeply felt what it was like to have an unpleasant conversation.
Jacob, seeing that he had fallen silent, turned to Xaviera and sighed helplessly, “Xaviera, you know that Quinn is an honored guest invited by Madam Mamet. Even if you have many grievances, you shouldn’t act like this! In consideration of Madam’s feelings, let’s put this matter to rest. But you cannot bully Quinn again!”
Xaviera coldly glanced at him. Jacob was still the same as before. As long as Quinn cried, he thought she had suffered a great injustice.
In her memory, there were many similar incidents, some even more serious. In Jacob’s heart, perhaps she was a malicious and cruel girl, while Quinn was a pitiful yet strong and understanding flower.
Just as Jacob was about to leave with Quinn, an angry shout came from behind, “Wait!”
The two paused and slowly turned around. Yigol’s face was gloomy, with a hint of a cold smile, “Mr. Powell, don’t be in such a hurry to leave! I think it’s necessary for you to know the ins and outs of this matter.”
