Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Everyone Pushes the Falling Wall
Mrs. Sullivan’s eyes were filled with anger. She said to Xaviera, “Xaviera, don’t be afraid. Your godmother will stand up for you. As long as I’m here, no one will dare bully you!”
At these words, everyone started to whisper among themselves.
“They are from the Sullivan family in the Imperial Capital!”
Mrs. Sullivan was sharp with her words: “You still want Xaviera’s inheritance? Do you people from the Evans family have any shame! The one who gave birth to Xaviera is Mrs. Nina Hughes, and the one who raised Xaviera is our Sullivan family. What right do you have to the money? Based on how thick your face is?”
“You!” Moira Besian was so embarrassed that her face turned red. The servant beside her managed to help her stand straight.
“Nowadays, Xaviera’s support comes from our Sullivan family and the supreme authority, Mr. Caleb Mamet. I’m making it clear to you all today! The Evans family cannot take a single penny from Xaviera!”
When the guests heard this, they all began to whisper among themselves: “So Xaviera was adopted by the Sullivan family. No wonder she married Mr. Caleb Mamet. They must have known each other since they were young.”
“In my opinion, the Evans family is to blame for this issue. Although I also have business dealings with the Evans family, I must speak up for what’s right. Moreover, the relatives of the Evans family have been implicated. If we continue associating with the Evans family, we’ll undoubtedly suffer consequences.”
Derek Evans clenched his lips, his face ashen. Just as he was about to argue, one of his close friends spoke up first.
“Mr. Evans, I think Mrs. Sullivan is right. Mrs. Mamet was abandoned when she was a child. Mrs. Sullivan raised her. As her father, you haven’t fulfilled your duty to provide for her … You have no right to take Mrs. Hughes’ dowry. I advise you to quickly return the dowry to Mrs. Mamet!”
The words in Derek’s mouth were instantly swallowed.
Caleb Mamet sat on the sofa, smiling meaningfully. Those people who used to have close ties with the Evans family couldn’t wait to distance themselves from them.
“Mr. Evans, I never expected you to abandon your own daughter, allowing your mistress and illegitimate daughter to wear jewels and squander Nina’s inheritance while banishing Xaviera to the countryside. You’re heartless as a father!”
“That’s right! We were wrong to believe that Mr. Evans was a man of sentiment. You’re so ruthless to your daughter, and we could be subjected to your mercilessness one day. Therefore, we’ve decided not to have any dealings with the Evans family ever again!”
“We also want to sever ties with the Evans family!”
Derek Evans’ body went limp, and he swayed, almost fainting. Moira Besian clenched her teeth, but she had no power to refute in front of the supreme authority.
The guests criticized one after another and declared their decision to cut off ties with the Evans family.
Actually, these people didn’t think Derek was heartless, it was just that he had offended the wife of Caleb Mamet, so they took the opportunity to please Caleb by criticizing Derek.
At that moment, Xaviera slowly got up from her seat, her voice cold, “I believe everyone knows that this villa is an inheritance left to me by my mother. It should have been inherited by me, but it has been occupied by the Evans family for years. They have also taken my mother’s jewelry, accessories and company. It’s time to return all of that to me, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, everyone began to pressure Derek to return the inheritance.
Derek’s face darkened as he glared at Xaviera with resentment, “You…Xaviera! You…”
“What’s wrong with me?” Xaviera raised her eyebrows, smiling mockingly. She then walked up to Rose Campbell, pulling a crystal bracelet off her hand.
“Mrs. Campbell, this bracelet has been borrowed by you for so many years. It’s time to return it to me!”
Everyone started cursing together: “The Evans family was willing to accept a mistress, which means they’re not good people. This mother and daughter are angelic bitches, acting weak and submissive on the surface, yet secretly taking Xaviera’s belongings and trying to kill her.”
“Mr. Evans, I don’t know what you were thinking to fall for such a lowly woman.”
“Mrs. Mamet is right. Derek, you’ve occupied this villa for so many years, and Xaviera doesn’t have any other requests except for returning what belongs to her. It’s better for you and the Evans family to leave quickly!”
“I always wondered how the Evans family could afford such a big villa; it turns out that it was bought by Mrs. Hughes! Mr. Evans, this villa was never yours in the first place. It isn’t appropriate for you to let your mistress and your illegitimate daughter live here!”
